| When getting gas, the pump always 'clicks off' when tank is 1.5-2 gallons from being full. the only way to ensure a full tank is to continue pumping until gas comes out the top of the filler neck. this usually means overriding as many as 50 pump 'click offs'. on the edmunds chat room i have seen other santa fe owners complaining about the same problem so i believe this is a design flaw with the vehicle. by the way, i have yet to find any gas station where this does not occur. obviously, this method of getting a full tank is not desirable but what's the point of having a 17 gallon gas tank if it will only take 15 gallons of gas? thank you.*ak | |||

| Take a look at where the oil filter is at on the 2001 hyundai sante fe's. the oil filters are very weak and can bust easily. all it takes is a big rock or any foreign object to hit it on the road and all your oil is out. the filters are right in the front and are open to any objects.*ak | |||

| 2001 hyundai sante fe. when filling the gas tank, there seems to be some sort of venting problem that causes overflow of gasoline down the side of the vehicle. this occurs every time i fill up at any gas station unless i am very careful and fill the tank very very slowly. even then it sometimes overflows. basically, it seems as though a pressure is built up within the tank and when the gas pump cuts off, it is too late. the car seems to sort of vomit about a cup or so of gas out of the filler hole and down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. it seems very dangerous to me and scares me. as a result, i always have to fill up very carefully and fill the tank as slowly as possible once it is over about half full. i'm afraid this could result in a fire at the gas station. *jb | |||
