2004 Hyundai Santa Fe fuel system problems

Filed Jun 10, 2021 · Fuel system · OH

This was a recall for hundai santa fe vehicles from 2001-2006. For unknown reasons I was not aware of recall. It was for 15 years or 150 miles. It is a danger as my car leaks gas. I am at 135,000 miles. But my car is a 2004. I purchased the vehicle in the last 2 years. I believe the recall should extend till the repair is complete for the reasons as follows. 1. it can explode. 2. it is a polluter 3. Hyundai acknowledges it as faulty equipment. 4. Corporations must be resonsible or they are irresponsible. 5. Cars are expensive they must maintain as least minimum safety requirements.

Bought an used 2004 santa fe in august from a dealer. Two weeks ago I started noticing a strong smell of gas around my vehicle and last week I began seeing a small discolored area on the cement in the garage. Mom checked my vehicle and found that the my fuel tank is leaking. The discoloration of the cement under my vehicle is in fact leaking gas. Tank is corroded and I will need a new tank installed.

Vehicle fuel tank is rotted and leaking fuel. Call hyundai and they say its covered under extended warranty for 15 years or 150000 miles. I am over on mileage. They say not covered. What does mileage have to do with corrosion?

Brought vehicle in to shop for front end noise. Found needed front brakes, pads, rotor, caliper. Repaired the items.the shop also noticed and stated "has a fuel leak at the tank (should be a recall"). I don't find any recall here. Any suggestions? I'm not making a complaint, just need to know if this is a recall. Thank you.

My santa fe stay over nite, inside my garage and I notice very strong odor of gasoline every time I open my garage and after I look under, I spot a drop of gasoline on the passenger side between a plastic cover and the fuel tank, while is park over nite, while I am driving I am afraid that something happen, like people throwing cigarette but and cut my car on flame. After I read other people recent complaints I decide to stop using my santa fe, I think this is a defect from hyundai to create a fuel tank that holds water and salt between the tank and the cover.
