A few months back I began noticing that my check engine light came on. Would take 10- 15 mins to fill up gas tank. Sensor was triggered every few seconds, suggesting gas tank was full, but it was not. Took it to the dealer and was told there was nothing wrong with the car. With in the last month I have been noticing that rear automatic locking seat belt is not staying locked. Child car seats do not stay secured. Car occasionally stalls when started, and air bag light does not illuminate to determine if air bag will deploy or not.

I had taken my car in for service in april 09 for oil change, tire balancing. I had to return it because car was veering to the left. When I picked it up the 2nd time the the airbag light came on and now stays on while driving. On 5/1/09 I took the car back to dealer and they said the cause is "ppd sensor open" which they want to charge me $390 to fix. Since the elantra of 2001-2002 had the same issue with an airbag light this may be a defect in the 2003s as well.
