Take a look at where the oil filter is at on the 2001 hyundai sante fe's. The oil filters are very weak and can bust easily. All it takes is a big rock or any foreign object to hit it on the road and all your oil is out. The filters are right in the front and are open to any objects.
2001 Hyundai Santa Fe fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When getting gas, the pump always 'clicks off' when tank is 1.5-2 gallons from being full. The only way to ensure a full tank is to continue pumping until gas comes out the top of the filler neck. This usually means overriding as many as 50 pump 'click offs'. On the edmunds chat room I have seen other santa fe owners complaining about the same problem so I believe this is a design flaw with the vehicle. By the way, I have yet to find any gas station where this does not occur. Obviously, this method of getting a full tank is not desirable but what's the point of having a 17 gallon gas tank if it will only take 15 gallons of gas? Thank you.
Air intake is located low in engine compartment. In rainy weather water gets into intake and shorts the mass air sensor.
