Check Engine Light was lighting up on and off sporadically and fuel gage was showing E with light on and now both are not working properly. The check engine light stays on and fuel gage always shows empty even when it is full.

When I bought this vehicle they were in cahoots with the nearby dealership, so no issues like this recall were found. I was NEVER TOLD ABOUT THE RECALLS because they trying to CHARGE ME!!!! This HAS always HAD this PROBLEM AND AT ONE TIME HAD A FUEL SENSOR problem.....I was told it was no problem to make the appointment at one Hyundai dealership and they had the VIN & NOW.....Now, that I had made an appt. with another dealership this is an issue and ALL of the factory recall issues were fixed, except for the hitch. IT NEVER was. I called the Hyundai Recall customer service # number and of course, they say there are no issues...The recall # is 077.

Engine light stays on and the fuel needle stays on empty after the tank is full.

Fuel sensor bad, gauge moves from full to empty before my eyes on a full tank of gas. Engine light comes on, low fuel light comes on. Mechanic tells me that this should be covered by Hyundai with a recall but there is no recall. Worries me constantly, have to fill up after 60 miles every time

Fuel sensor problems, fuel light on, check engine light on, both go out when tank is about (I would estimate) 7/8 to about 1/2 a tank but are on at full and I'm guessing 7/16 and below. I can pretty much estimate my mileage but with 2 children about to get their license I feel this would be hazardous if not dangerous should they run out of gas on a parkway or expressway. With all the complaints it should be rated as a recall and fixed. Seems to me that it occurs once the bumper to bumper warranty expires and is not covered under the drive train warranty.

I would like to have the vehicle removed and compensate the value to prevent loss of my human life or of another person

Issue 1) fuel sensor had to be replaced, one was done by me the other by mechanic. It stopped showing how much gas I had in tank so I had to guess. Seems to be a know. And recurring issue issue 2) headlights have all of a sudden stopped working, the high beamss work issue 3) the driver lock no longer works but others do and the gas door no longer unlocks from driver door so I have to use the emergency release to get at the tank. Issue 4) the latch for the hood is stuck open, this has been a known issue on another model from the same year. I can get mechanic records for fuel issue, that was about 1.4 years ago. Headlights were yesterday and hood as of today. The door issue within last few months and gas door within 2 years.

Accelerator stuck while merging onto the freeway, vehicle was going 85 mph when I put it in neutral and used brakes to stop. The engine continued "racing" after stopping and stopped only after I shut off the ignition. Now also happens when accelerating on city streets. Extreme danger if someone driving has this happen and panics.

There's been issues with the fuel pump and pressure gauge. We've already had this problem repaired 4 times and still suspect there's a leak somewhere. We can smell gas in the vehicle while/after pumping and after the car has been driven. Also, there seems to be an electrical issue with the headlights when pressing on the brakes, while driving.

The fuel level sensor has gone bad. From my research, this is a known problem with the 2007 Santa Fe. It has become necessary to use my trip meter to gauge how much fuel I have.

The gas gas does not work, they said it was the fuel level sensors. This is a great danger as I ran out of gas at a high speed with my 3 year old son in the car. This needs to be addressed immediately. After this happened I have read a ton of other comments reporting the same thing, Hyundai should be ashamed they haven't corrected this issue!

My check engine light came on. When I took it to my mechanic the reason was my fuel sensor is not working. My gas gauge does not tell me how much gas is in the car. The repair would be costly and requires the removal of the gas tank. Due to this defect, my car will not pass md emissions testing. The gas gauge works intermittently to let me know how much fuel is in the car so I need to monitor how many miles between fill ups in order to not run out of gas. It operates sporadically while moving or stopped.

I had just gotten on the interstate and the car started and continued accelerating on its own. I had the wipers going; cruise was not turned on or set, there was nothing obstructing brake or accelerator petals. I turned the lights to auto then down to running lights then to the on position. Just at that moment when I put the lights in the on position is when it took over the accelerator. I tried stepping on the break and it did nothing as the vehicle continued to accelerate. I made it to the off ramp to get off the interstate immediately. I tried turning cruise on then off and down shifting. Then I put it into neutral and it stopped accelerating but I still could not brake. I started to push on the emergency brake and we started to slow down until we coasted into a gas station and shut the car off. I called roadside assistance and was towed to a garage. I called Hyundai service and they told me if nothing is found or it can't be fixed that I should contact Consumer Affairs. I did some research and found over 50 complaints for this same thing. Apparently this has to do with the fact that the throttle control is driven by the computer/electric. Because of this something like a power surge happens that causes the acceleration and the brakes to not work. If this would have happened to me with more traffic, I would have crashed. It appears to be fine now but I understand it is intermittent and can't be duplicated; therefore, Hyundai will not do anything about it. The fact of the matter is they don't know what to do. But it doesn't change the fact that this causes accidents and is a safety issue. I am now scared to drive my own vehicle.

Fuel level sensor stopped working so can no longer tell how much gas is in the car. It caused the check engine light to come on. I am manually having to track how many miles I have traveled since last fill up. This is completely frustrating if not unsafe based on the fact that I see that numerous Hyundai Santa Fe owners have reported this same issue. Please consider asking for a recall on this.

- Columbia, MD, USA

Fuel gage always changes levels. Constantly making the low gas light to turn on even after filling the gas tank up at the gas station. Its very dangerous to not know where you gas level is when many use the Santa Fe as their family car to Transport their children. Its been happening the past week

Fuel gage reports inaccurate readings causes check ingine light to come on.

- Palm Harbor, FL, USA

Fuel indicator gauge is broken. Does not properly indicate fuel level. Check engine light is always on due to this malfunction. Very common problem according to online search. Too expensive to fix when it should be covered under Hyundai recall when it is such a common problem. I will not know if there are other engine issue with the check engine light always on. Dangerous.
