MY CARS FUEL TANK IS NOW GIVING ME PROBLEMS. WHEN I PULL UP TO THE PUMP GET GAS THE CAR SAYS ITS EMPTY BUT WHEN FUELING THE CAR CONSTANTLY CLICKS SAYING ITS FULL. I HAVE TO KEEP TAKING THE PUMP IN AND OUT OF THE CAR TO RESEAL IT THEN TRY AGAIN AND AGAIN AND MOST TIMES AGAIN. WHEN THE GAS ATTENDANTS SEE WHAT CAR I OWN AND THE TROUBLE I HAVE THEY SAY ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI'S IN GENERAL AND DOES NOT MATTER WHAT MODEL. IT'S VERY IRRITATING WHEN I CAN ONLY GET A FEW DOLLARS AT A TIME BECAUSE IT TAKES SO MUCH TIME. MY BROTHER IS A MECHANIC AND SAID HE GETS THESE ALL THE TIME. THERE HAS TO BE MORE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM BUT I DID RESEARCH THE DATABASE HERE AND DID NOT FIND ANY RECALLS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
