When trying to fuel vehicle the nozzle will click off at 1 or 2 gallons. I have to repeatedly take the nozzle out and keep trying to refuel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer in which they dropped the gas tank and did something. I picked the vehicle up and went to refuel and the same problem still exist. Just out of money. I see this is an on-going problem with this vehicle. There should be a recall.
2003 Hyundai Sonata fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Fueling problems. On near empty fuel tank the fueling hose will auto shut off after 1 to 2 gallons. I have to repeat start the fueling and it automatically shuts off after entering a gallon or two. Have to gauge when tank is near full which can cause a fuel spill if overestimating and not being fill if underestimating. It seems to happen at pumps that have the newer nozzle. This is the first summer for this problem and it may be caused by the heat with the newer nozzles..
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel would spill out from the filler neck. The failure would occur even if the fuel tank was completely empty. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the fuel lines were too small to allow the fuel to enter the fuel tank. As a result, the fuel system would need to be rebuilt. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 92,000 and the current mileage was 94,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 hyundai sonata. The contact stated that when attempting to refuel the vehicle, gasoline would spew back out from the filer neck and onto the ground. She was able to fuel small amounts at a given time however, it would take more than thirty minutes to fill the fuel tank to capacity. The vehicle was taken to the dealer in 2005 where they performed repairs under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 04v178000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly) however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was advised of the failure and informed the contact to take the vehicle to the local dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not further repaired. The current and failure mileages were approximately 160,000.
One day, while fueling my 2003 hyundai sonata, the pump clicked off after 1 gallon. From then on, it wouldn't let me fill more than 1 or 2 gallons without clicking off. Since that day, this problem occurs every time I refill and every time my tank is near empty or half empty, so I know that's not the issue.
I own a 2003 sonata the engine light came on, I have an emission leak the machine says. I need help has this happened to any one else. Also my gas problems, when putting gas in my car the gas cap clicks as if the tank was full when talking to local dealer all they want to do is quote prices!!!!!!!!! No explanation of why these thing are happening.
The consumer believes he received poor service from the dealer while having recall repairs done because the dealer didn't provide him with a loaner vehicle. *nm recall# 04v178000.
Consumer's vehicle experienced fuel spillage as described in the fuel tank assembly valve/fmvss301 recall 04v178000. But this occurred not in a roll over situation, but when filling the fuel tank with fuel at the gas station.
