Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“After engine is warm, about 20 minutes later, there is a gurgling in the fuel tank when the key is turned on (before and after the engine is started). I think it is fuel being returned from the engine. I have had it in two different Hyundai service shops, with the fuel pump replaced twice, and a fuel pressure regulator replaced. Having given up, both shops contacted the district Hyundai office and a field service adviser told the local shops to show the event as normal . It is not normal and I think the Hyundai district office is hiding the problem. …”
