2004 Hyundai Sonata Fuel system Problems

“Backing into the garage, my foot on brake, the engine suddenly revved to high RPM, the car shot backwards, propelling a heavy rubber mat on which the car is normally parked out of the garage and into the driveway. The vehicle then impacted and crashed through the rear garage wall before coming to a stop. I managed to pry the gear lever out of reverse, hit drive instead and sent the car, wheels still spinning and laying down rubber, forward out of the garage. On its way out the car swiped along the right side the garage door post before finally coming to a stop in the driveway. …”

“I have a 2004 Hyundai Sonata v6 that gives me problems when I fill the gas tank up. I know that this might sound crazy but, when I go to start the car, it will not turn over. I recently had a major tune-up done on the vehicle along with changing the timing belt. When I fill up my car, I have to include an additive such as gas treatment, lucas gas treatment, fuel cleaner, etc. I had my mechanic look at the vehicle four times and he has found nothing wrong with the vehicle. I ask for assistance to diagnose the problem and would you recommend bringing the car to a dealer. Please help! Thank you. …”

“Split fuel tank on the side, 2nd fuel tank to fail in the last 5 years. Hyundai claims there is no problems with fuel tanks, but google the Sonata fuel tanks and there is a ton of complaints. Hyundai will do nothing about it. No recall, no nothing. House and garage has severe gas smell and a large puddle of gas on the floor.”

“After filling the gas tank full, found fuel leaking from the tank onto the ground. Removed the tank from the car and found 13 rust holes on the top and side of the fuel tank. Holes were found beneath areas of sealant that had separated from the tank surface.”

“Fuel system cannot fuel vehicle properly due to poor vent recovery equipment.... None of it is replaceable as replacement parts are nolonger available...”
