Gas tank will not normally accept gas and clicks off every 5 cents worth that is pumped. After 3 gallons and 15 minutes later, the tank spits out the gas. This problem is so chronic the attendants at costco gas told me many sonatas have this issue. Recall or class action lawsuit?

We had our vehicle warrantied for the rotten frame on our vehicle last year. At that point you would think hyundai would have warned us that our brake lines were swiss cheese just like our frame, these cars rot out, the entire vehicle is a death trap. The brake lines broke 3 times in the past 6 months after sections were already replaced. These vehicles need all the brake and fuel lines replaced immediately!!! This is not routine maintenance and should be recalled immediately!! The power steering line rotted out 5 years ago, this car was made out of really crappy metal. Dangerous vehicle. Everything on this vehicle is rotted out beyond what is normal, the wheels, the brake drums, everything on these vehicles rot to the point of swiss cheese. After 10 years these vehicles are very unsafe. Our vehicle only has 50,000 miles on it.

Fuel tank has split in half due to poor welding. Seems to be very similar to the issue with 1998 hyundai sonata. 3-4 gallons of gas leaked onto the ground within a few hours.

Not many seem to know the solution here. After much research online and going to a mechanic site... I spent $250 on a canister,,, valve... And filter... That was suppose to fix the problem. No go there. So now I much contact hyundai again.... After their only advice was to bring it to a dealer. The dealer sold me the parts and said that this would fix it. Just want to point out that there are many consumer's online that are searching for an answer. Imagine all of a sudden.... Your car that you have maintained and kept in good shape... No longer lets you put gas in the tank.

My vehicle had a recall on it in 2004 for the fuel system, gasoline storage and fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly. According to the home office the valve fix was installed on my vehicle in 2005, I have no record of the installation. In 2011 my vehicle broke down and I had it towed to a shop. It turned out to be the fuel pump, so I had it replaced with a new fuel pump I purchased at an auto supply shop. After the installation of the new fuel pump my vehicle would hesitate to start, the gas was taking to long to get to the injectors. After researching I found out about the recall not remembering anything about it or having a valve installed. My question is on such an important recall why isn't there notice at the auto supply stores on vehicles and parts on recall. A raised flag if you will, so when I (someone) go to purchase the new fuel pump a notice would have come up about the recall. Now the hyundai corporation refuse to fix this very serious problem without cost to me. I think it is hyundai responsibility to get the word out in every avenue available out there about the recall. They knew the fuel pump was bound to fail one day and had to be replaced. Going back to the dealer (who was the only one who knew about the recall) is an option not the only option.

I recently took my 2002 hyundai sonata to kroger gas station to fill up my tank that was on 1/4 full. However, when I got there and started to pump my gas it started out by only pumping out $0.05 of gas before the pump clicked off. Then it only was pumping $0.03 of gas before it clicked off. I tried to gingerly squeeze the handle to make it pretty much drip out, but that was not working either because it kept shutting off. I ended up going to a bp gas station bc I thought maybe it could have been the kroger pump, but the same thing happened. I ended up pumping $16 of gas which took me about 10 minutes to do! I have 71,000 miles on my car and just started having this problem 2 days ago. Gas will not pump more then a few cents before it shuts off and I am worried that I will run out of gas as well because I don't want to fill it up either if people have problem with gas spewing out.
