Consumer Description

FUEL SENSORS FAILED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $550.. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE LIGHT WENT ON INDICATING THE WAS NO FUEL, BUT THE GAS TANK WAS FULL. THE FUEL GAUGE DIAL INDICATOR ALSO DROPPED TO DOWN TO ZERO AND IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE READING. SOMETIMES IT GOES UP AND THEN IT DROPS. THIS HAS BEEN A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED BY MANY HYUNDAI OWNERS. THE SERVICE TECHS ARE WELL AWARE A PROBLEM EXISTS. NO OTHER CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED HAS HAD THIS COSTLY PROBLEM. HYUNDAI SHOULD FORCED TO DO A RECALL.
