First the engine blew! That's right, blew up! Hyundai replaced it because they were forced to.
Now, the fuel gauge gets stuck or doesn't work sometimes. You never know until it says 1/4 tank and you run out of gas out in the desert! This car is a piece of junk!! I'm done with Hyundai FOREVER!! Stay away!!!
