2004 Hyundai Elantra: check engine light

Filed May 4, 2015 · Fuel system · IL

Since purchasing the car I have may problems with entering fuel in my vehicle. It takes at least 20 minutes to fill the gas tank. I pump keep shutting off after putting at least .50 in. I called to see if there was a recall but of course there is not one. My check engine light is on now I can imagine how much it will cost me to get the problem fixed. I see many complaints in regard to the same problem I am having please do something about this. I suggest no one to purchase this vehicle.

Have 2004 elantra w/ 77,000 miles. Check engine light came on while starting car in am. Car has no symptoms of bad plugs,02 sensor, or catalytic conv. Issues. Runs fine, no different. I have the car checked diagnostically and they said the 02 needed changing and new p;lugs / wires. The wires/ plugs arent due for another 30k miles we thought, and the car running fine! Was waiting to have this service done as we were given a $613.00 quote! In meantime the check light went off and car running fine! It had just had theoiil changed and a new air filter when this occured, and new gas. It seemed when the car was almost out of gas( I let it run low) I put a better grade from another station and this is when the engine light went off! Why would this occure if it is needing plugs, 02 sensors??? Also no trouble, roughness or idle trouble, or power loss with this car. Could it be bad gas, airfilter issues?? Please help!!

On 11/26/07 the car got overheated, engine check light came on and engine shut down on the highway, coolant leaked out, car towed in. Bridgeport key hyundai replaced coolant temperature sensor on 04/11/08 the car stalled on the highway without engine light coming on, coolant leaked out, engine failure caused a collision with another vehicle from the back. The car was towed in, it needs engine replacement. We believe the coolant repairs to be defective. Dealer denies our claim and blames engine failure on poor maintenance. I have read a number of reports about hyundai engine stalling/coolant leak. In addition ABS/tcs light has been coming on with the brake pedal vibrating and making noise. Car wouldn't stop as requested especially on wet, icy surface. Dealer cannot locate the problem please investigate both defects.
