| Went on a trip out of the state. i noticed that i wasn't getting my normal mileage. i filled my gas tank when i arrived at my destination and parked; after an hour, i noticed that a river of gasoline was coming from my tank. after being parked two days, i had lost over 2 1/2 gallons of gas, and noted a distinct burning smell coming from my exhaust pipe during my drive home. i am in the process of arranging for an appointment with my dealer in order to have the gas tank replaced or repaired.*ak | |||
| FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE - STORAGE - TANK ASSEMBLY | |||
| Gas was leaking from tank to the inside of the car under the back seat around the plate that covers the fuel pump. gas pooled underneath the the back seat on passenger side. when seat was removed the foam on the underneath side was saturated with gas and from the top of the seat you could put pressure on the seat and gas would literally leak out of the seat. the week before our grandchildren were in the back seat and we all were complaining of headaches. the smell is still there after 2 attempt of the car dealership spraying it and ordering a new back seat. we feel like we should have a new car out of this because it is not fixed. this could have been so dangerous. the person at the dealership told us we were very lucky people. if we had smoked or someone threw a cigarette or match it would have exploded. also he said after the plate got so full, it could have gone back on the exhaust and it would have blown. when i think what could have happened it makes me sick. my only hope is there is not another one out there like it because it could be very dangerous. this car should never have made it off the line. this makes me think that they do not inspect their cars very well if one or more got by with something as dangerous as a gas leak.*ak | |||

| My car engine will rev up on its own when in neutral (i have a manual transmission) the engine revs up then idles low as if it is going to stall. i have taken it into the dealership 4 times, and they have replaced the coil pack, spark plugs, and a sensor... still the problem persists. every time i take my car in they tell me that my spark plugs are misfiring and that i need to have them replaced and because they are a wear item and it's going to cost me. i can't afford to have it done in the dealership so i did a home repair and replaced them myself. this is the 3rd set of plugs on this car and they are now misfiring again (only after 5 months) i took it to the dealership, and they claimed that they can't fix the problem because they aren't hyundai plugs (which i understand), but there has got to be some reason that the plugs are fouling out so quickly and no one will investigate the problem. i should not have to replace my spark plugs (wear item or not) 4 times in 2 years, nor should i have to twist the dealerships arm to do the job that they are paid under warranty to do! i am disgusted with hyundai, and the poor customer service their dealers provide! i will never buy hyundai again or recommend that anyone else purchase from them! *la | |||
