This Hyundai had the motor replaced with a Hyundai recall... they did not replace the one-time use fuel line that HAS to be replaced when removed. Started leaking fuel out of that line. while I was driving the fuel from the line caught the exhaust on fire and within seconds had flames engulf the car.

While driving on the interstate, I pressed the gas pedal and the vehicle would not accelerate. The motor was running and the vehicle seemed to have some pull on it's own but clearly anytime the gas pedal was pressed there was no acceleration. It was diagnosed as a default in the throttle body.

I bought this car 16 months ago, the gas gauge stopped working, I took the car to lester glenn Hyundai in toms river, NJ where I bought it. I use this car and cover 5 states as a territory manager, the warranty expired 10,000 miles ago, they said they will talk to Hyundai to see if they will cover part. I feel after 1 year this part should never have failed. I owned 3 Hyundai's and never had this problem before. This part should have lasted the life of the car.

I bought a 2016 Santa Fe sport at carmax 8000 miles and when I filled the tank the first time I could only fill about 13 gal, I drove in town about 280 miles. Filled now a few times and only can fill about 13 gal each time. It shows as full, however the tank is a 17 gal tank. Also when fill the gauge shows I should get about 380 miles but I only get about 280. I have seen on other forums this seems to be a problem with even 2015 vehicles as well.
