I bought it used in july 2003, at hub Hyundai west in houston, texas I have to keep returning it to the Hyundai dealer to have the fuel canister valve repaired. 3 times since I've owned the vehicle. It seems when I run my car through a automated car wash 3 or 4 times the canister becomes saturated with water and shorts out.
