2002 hyundai sonata. Having problem putting fuel in the vehicle*cw the consumer stated it seemed as though the pressure valve was not opening correctly when fuel was added. Also, last fall the consumer noticed the front right tire was leaning in and he thought it was a broken tie rod, but when he took the vehicle to a mechanic, he was told the sub frame of the vehicle had rusted through. The consumer learned there was a recall for the exact same problem. The consumer stated he never received a recall notice.

Engine light keeps coming on. Took for repair and the code states there is a problem with the air/fuel mixture. Auto repair shop asked if we turned the gas cap atleast 3 turns after last fill--yes we did. We previously were not able to pump gas the pump would shut off everytime we tried to pump. Auto repair replaced charcoal filters in the neck of the fuel tank has run fine since this engine light started.
Can't put gas in my tank, I would have to slowly put it in and sometimes I only can get 4-6 dollars although I have driven all day and my gas hand states that I am on empty. I really feel that this is a safety hazard, I could possible run out of gas while driving and cause a collision, or just over flow my gas tank, this I am very, very concern about. Please help me.
No concern with incident. Concern with defects with fuel tanks and fuel tank functions.
We have been having the car 4 years when we first got the car there was a strong gas smell and still does when we took it to dealership. They couldn't find problem. Know I find this so now I know what the problem is and I'm trying to take care of it.
On 10/10/07 my wife drove approximately 8 miles home from work and parked her 2002 hyundai sonata in the garage. About 5 minutes later she noticed the smell of gasoline in the house, and returned to the garage to investigate. Gas was pouring from the gas tank fill door on the car. The garage floor had a 6' diameter puddle under the car. She opened the garage door and backed the car out onto the driveway and positioned a catch pan under the car. Approximately 1/2 gallon of gas was in the pan after she opened the filler cap to relieve the pressure. The car had less than 3/4 tank of gas at the time. We delivered the car the dealer that night for repair. They returned the car on 10/12 after replacing a canister and valve assembly under warranty. This is the second time this has happened, with the first time being approximately 18 months earlier, also covered under warranty. We feel very lucky that we didn't have an explosion or fire, which would have been a likely event with the amount of raw gas and fumes in the garage had we had a gas water heater. It is now four days later and we still have not gotten the smell of gasoline out of the house and garage. My wife is also afraid to park the car in the garage. Just to add to the whole experience, the service writer was rude to my wife when she picked up the car, and we now have a dent in the left rear door.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds, the vehicle hesitated and was hard to shift. Also, when attempting to fill the gas tank, the gas spilled out while pumping. The vehicle was driven to the dealer who could not duplicate the problem.
When attempting to fill gas tank the pump continues to shut off after pumping only small amounts of gasoline. Which prevents me from filling my vehicle. I have made no attempts to repair attempted to fill the vehicle at several service stations with the same results.
Vehicle was taken to dealer for fuel cut valve recall. Since new fuel cut valve was installed vehicle will not start after refueling. Dealer replaced new fuel cut valve, problem recurred. Dealer can not duplicate failure. Failure has occurred with the consumer after every refuel with no exceptions.
