Consumer Description

I OWN A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE, AND THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 TO 2010 SANTA FE'S THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT. THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNITS TEND TO GO BAD WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL GAUGE TO READ EMPTY, AND ACTIVATES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER CHECKING THIS INFO ON THE WEB, IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SANTA FE'S AND THE COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING BUT CHARGE THE CONSUMER ANYWHERE FROM $500 TO $1000 TO REPAIR IT. I ALSO FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED ON THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE WILL DROP TO ZERO AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. IT'S SCARY NOT KNOWING IF YOU HAVE FUEL OR NOT OR HOW LONG YOU CAN DRIVE WHEN IT DROPS TO "E". PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR
