Consumer Description

THE FLOATS AND SENSOR SYSTEM IN THE FUEL TANK QUIT WORKING IN 2015. THE GAS GAUGE REGISTERS AS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS MOSTLY FULL. THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL SANTA FE, AND THE REPAIR COSTS CLOSE TO $1,000. I BELIEVE IT PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD, IN THAT THE VEHICLE COULD RUN OUT OF FUEL ON A HIGHWAY OR A BRIDGE. HYUNDAI SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL OR AGREE TO FIX THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITHOUT COST TO THE OWNERS.
