When pumping gas, there seems to be a blockage of some sort. The gas pump keeps kicking off as if the tank were full. It takes a very long time to put a few gallons of gas in the tank. This happens at all service stations, every time gas is pumped. *kb

We have a 2002 elantra and whenever you try to fill the tank up with gas, it constantly stops after just 25 cents or so and then you keep trying to fill it up and it stops every few seconds. It takes forever to pump a tank or even a half a tank of gas. Very frustrating to say the least. *"tr

My elantra's issue is with the gas tank getting over-filled at the gas pump due to a system failure that allows the pump to fill the car until the gas reaches the fuel spigot and then shutting off. Not only does this result in gasoline pouring out of the filler cap, but it also floods the entire gas tank evaporation system. As a result of this, after the car has sat for several hours gas starts draining from the…

The engine would die and not restart while the vehicle was in motion. The vehicle would then be coasting down the road with no power brakes or steering. This made controlling and stopping the vehicle very difficult and dangerous. Numerous visits to the hyundai dealership, thousands of dollars, and many replaced parts later, the hyundai dealership finally determined that an apparent defect to the charcoal canister…
