Fuel sensor failing. Fill tank and sensor stays at empty with warning light.

- Chicago, IL, USA

Fuel gauge shows empty, low fuel light and check engine light comes on after driving a little sometimes everything gets to normal next day fuel gauge shows empty or half full when it is full because I know I just had it filled. There are a lot of complains about this online forums.Hyundai have to recall this problem the repair is very expensive and you don't know exactly how much fuel you have in your tank also since check engine light comes on you can not pass state inspection. Vehicle has 58000 miles.

My 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe while driving stalls, truck is no longer on while driving. Power steering and control over steering wheel is loss. This has been happening quite frequently while driving. Happen twice while driving on highway which, scared me to death. Check engine light and battery lights comes on when this happens. Now the engine light comes on stay for a few days then turns off. My fuel gage K doesn't work properly. I can fill my tank up on full, then it will drop to the E line like there is no gas. The yellow light comes on. Not safe because now I don't know if my truck is full or really empty. Why haven't there been any recalls on these issues especially since, there are numerous complaints by owners with the same year and model.

- Fort Washington, MD, USA

Fuel level sensor failed....inaccurate fuel gauge causing owners to not know when the cars fuel tank is low, and sometimes causing the vehicle to run out of fuel while driving.

- Wentzville, MO, USA

The fuel gauge fluctuates and the check engine light comes on. Problem is intermittent. Can occur anytime, but mostly after filling the gas tank. Vehicle can be stationary or moving. Has been occurring for at least a year.

- Chandler, AZ, USA

After filling my tank to full, a few minutes later while at a light, my gas light came on indicating low on fuel almost empty. Check engine light came on, went out, came on for few days. Took car to service at Hyundai and was told that fuel sensors are bad and need to be replaced. Will cost almost $800. Service said that this has been a common occurrence in the 2008 Santa Fe's. and, apparently, none if it is warranted. Did some research online and learned that many are complaining of the same thing. Why has this not been recalled? this is very dangerous and puts owner of car in a position to be taken advantage of by dealer. Frustrated!!! also, light is off for a while, then comes back on when driving and stationary.

Fuel sensors are not working properly causing gas gauge to move erratically and triggering check engine light to come on. Vehicle was in motion on a city street. Sensor is not reliable creating a risk of running out of gas.

- Cary, NC, USA

My fuel gauge in the car show no fuel at time and then 1/2, 1/4 or zero tank, check engine light is on, I have had the check engine light checked and was advised that it is the gauge in the fuel tank.

- Longwood, FL, USA

The fuel gauge fluctuates and does not show an accurate fuel level. It's only accurate after filling and then after usage is inaccurate. This at times results in check engine lights that would fail emissions. Highway driving is a concern if the car suddenly lost engine power. Started at 110K miles.

- Chandler, AZ, USA

My fuel guage in the car show no fuel at time and then 1/2 or 1/4 tank, check engine light is on, I have had the check engine light checked and was advised that it is the gauge in the fuel tank. There are other family with 2008 Hyundai with the same issue?? help the check engine light stays on..

- Orlando, FL, USA

As the same as everyone else, at 70K miles gas gauge stopped working properly and check engine light is stuck on. We are very concerned about not knowing the amount of gas and running out on the highway. Appears to be a safety concern with the vehicle shutting down. Shocked Hyundai has not recalled this problem. I have owned several Hyundai's but this is the last.

- Oregon, OH, USA

Takata recall gas gauge not working.

- Springfield, VT, USA

Fuel gauge always reads as empty, regardless of movement or amount of gas in tank, leaving driver to run out of gas in undesirable places. Repair is approx 600-800 dollars. Many complaints should be recalled. Has to do with the fuel sending sensor or something I was told.

- Heilwood, PA, USA

Fuel level gauge becomes erratic and does not indicate correct fuel level in gas tank. Recently "check engine light" came on and diagnosis by mechanic was "fuel level sensor a, circuit intermittent". this is a very expensive repair and should not occur on a vehicle at this stage. I have now become aware that this is an extremely common defect in the Hyundai Santa Fe line of vehicles.

- New Orleans, LA, USA

Fuel gauge frequently bobs from empty to full within a matter of seconds and causes the check engine light to go on when there is plenty of fuel

- Freehold, NJ, USA

The fuel sensor/gauge reads as empty all the time no matter how much gas is in the tank, this includes after filling up. This causes the check engine light to come on as well. Although this is not a direct safety issue, after researching on line it is clear that this issue has been going on for several model years of this car. If you went by the number of complaints on this site, it might not look like much but an internet search would indicate otherwise. For some people this can be a safety issue due to problems when legitimately running out of gas on a major highway and in traffic without knowing the issue. The manufacturer should not be allowed to have this consistent and ongoing problem with no recourse.

- Springfield, NJ, USA

The gas electric float doesn't work it a 'll ways shows I have no gas I have to fill ever 2 days just so I don't run out. But have gotten stuck in the side if the road 5 times since problem happened. Haven't gotten it fixed due to mo get issues for it.
