Whenever I get gas and which I dread, once I fill up the tank or just put a few gallons and I turn the ignition it grinds like it is trying to start. Eventually it will turn over or I will hear a pop. I am afraid at some point with that pop that it will catch on fire. This happens every time I fill the vehicle with gas. Could someone please let me know what the resolution is.
I had my 2004 Hyundai sante fe at the dealer's for the smell of gasoline in the vehicle and when walking behind the car. It was told there was a small leak in the gas tank due to rust. The vehicle is not 9.5 years old has approximately 82,000 miles on it - have regular service done on the vehicle. I have undercarriage of car washed after snow storms as I live in new england and know the salt from the roads can rust the car. I was quoted a price of $1,500 or more - "can't tell until we start taking things apart how much job will be". this evening went to go to the store for milk car started right up drove down hill and car started to buck and stopped. Thank god for aaa - called for a tow and the tow truck driver attempted to start car - car starts but then stalls said there may be an air bubble in fuel line - could this have happened when dealer's service department checked for the leak. (I do not have the money to replace a gas tank when I don't know exactly how much the cost will be). Has anyone else had this problem. The service person informed me my car was "old" I don't think 9.5 years with 81,000 miles a gas tank should rust"??????" especially when the car is taken care of.
The contact owns a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that he smelled a gasoline fuel odor while standing near the vehicle. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic, who stated that the fuel tank was rusted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.
I bought the Hyundai less than a year ago. A few months after I bought it, I started smelling gas. I took it to the shop, and was told the gas tank was leaking. After paying an exorbitant amount to replace it, it worked fine. Now less than a year later, I took the car into the shop for a routine inspection and was informed that my new gas tank is leaking and needs to be replaced. What's the problem, Hyundai? this is ridiculous!
