2005 Hyundai Santa FE Fuel system Problems

“I was driving coming up to a turn, took the left turn, and accelerated like a normally do, the car's rpms went up to about 5 thousand rpms. I heard a pop like noise and the rpms just started dropping and there was no restriction on the gas pedal (felt like I was pushing air). The vehicle then just rolled once it was at about 10 MPH rpms went under 1 thousand and the vehicle died. When I tried to restart it it was just crank and crank, doesn't even sound like it wants to turn over. Please help.”

“We bought this vehicle in june 2013. We had it almost a month when the steering locked up on me. The power steering pressure line blew out. We took it to the dealer that we bought it from and they fixed the line. Three days later the steering went again we got it to the dealership and they were going to charge us $300.00. I got upset but the most they would do for me was split the cost.then a few months later I started to smell gas. I didn't see any thing on the ground so I left it go. …”

“Gas tank is corroded and leaking fuel due to road salt because I live in the northeast. I was notified that Hyundai has extended the warranty on model years 2001-2006 up to 150,000 miles.

Cars are leaking gas! My car has no other rust on it and I keep my car clean and parked in my garage. My gas tank should not be rusted out on a car that is 10 years old. …”

“Sudden unintended acceleration. While driving my vehicle, the car lurches forward and the engine reves up. I've had it to the mechanic numerous times and they can not seem to find a reason for this to be happening. It is a very scary situation. I have 2 small children and have become fearful when driving my car. This happens on the highway as well as regular street roads. I've seen many forums on line with the same complaints from other Hyundai owners. I really hope that someone looks into these complaints.”

“I am experiencing a problem that threatens my safety every time I drive the vehicle. The problem has to do with delayed acceleration when applying the gas pedal, which causes fear when entering traffic or making a turn as opposing traffic approaches. The delayed acceleration is then followed by a lunging acceleration which reduces the feeling of control over the vehicle. I went back to the dealer in elgin, il a few days after purchasing the vehicle, but they brushed it off as a common characteristic of Hyundai vehicles with the 3.5 liter engine. …”
