2002 Hyundai Accent Complaints

MY 2002 HYUNDAI ACCENT "CLICKS OFF" REPEATEDLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE. GASOLINE POOLS IN THE CHAMBER BETWEEN THE FUEL DOOR AND THE GAS TANK CAUSING A SERIOUS HAZARD. FUEL SMELLS ARE FREQUENTLY OBSERVED WITHIN THE CAR AFTER FUELING AND FOR A PERIOD OF DAYS AFTERWARD. THE "CHECK ENGINE" REMAINS ILLUMINATED INDICATING A FUEL LINE SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD THE SYSTEM CHECKED BY A FULL SERVICE AUTOMOTIVE FACILITY AND THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS WITH NO SUCCESS IN REMEDYING THE PROBLEM. HAVE SUGGESTED POSSIBLY REPLACING THE ENTIRE FULL LINE, GAS TANK, ETC BUT HAVE INDICATED THIS IS LIKELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SUCH. AT THE CURRENT TIME IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT MORE THAN A FEW OUNCES OF GASOLINE INTO THE CAR AT ANY ONE TIME AND FAILURE TO CLOSELY MONITOR THE CHAMBER WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL CAN LEAD TO GASOLINE OVERFLOW AND SPILLS. I HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS AS TO THE SAFETY OF FUELING THIS CAR ON A WEEKLY BASIS AS WELL AS THE RISK OF FIRE HAZ...

WHILE I HAVE FELT THAT I HAVE BEEN LEADING UP TO THE PROBLEM THAT I AM ABOUT TO LIST FOR OVER A YEAR WITH WHINING IN THE FRONT LEFT TIRE/BRAKE AREA. I AM GETTING READY FOR MY FOURTH BRAKES ON MY ACCENT IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS. FINALLY IN MAY OF THIS YEAR (2013) I STARTED NOTICING THAT WHEN I WOULD PRESS IN THE CLUTCH THE CAR WOULD SLOW AS IF THE BRAKES WERE BEING PRESSED. WE TOOK THE CAR TO OUR SHOP AND THEY REPLACED THE WHEEL BEARING AND BRAKES, BRAKE LINES, MASTER CYLINDER, OR AS THE MECHANIC SAYS:, "WE HAVE REPLACED EVERYTHING THAT WE KNOW TO REPLACE OR REPAIR FOR THIS PROBLEM". WELL TODAY, 08/15/2013 I MANAGED TO GET MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED, I AM THE SECOND OWNER, MY SISTER-IN-LAW AND HER HUSBAND WERE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN INDIANAPOLIS OFF OF THE LOT BY THEM. *TR

THE GAS TANK WILL NOT ACCEPT FUEL AT A REASONABLE FLOW FROM A PUMP. IT TRIPS THE SHUT OFF EARLY. SOMETIMES FUEL SPLASHES OUT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. MANY HYUNDAI CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. FROM RESEARCH, I FOUND THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS: 1) CHARCOAL BITS IN THE VENT LINES FROM THE CARBON CANISTER- ONE OWNER CUT OPEN THE CANISTER AND FOUND A FOAM FILTER LIKE IN A WINDOW A/C THAT WAS DAMAGED BY GAS ALLOWING CARBON TO GO INTO THE VENT LINES CLOGGING THEM AND NOT ALLOWING THE TANK TO VENT. INCOMPATABLE MATERIAL USED. 2) FAULTY CHECK VALVE AT THE INLET OF THE GAS TANK DOES NOT OPEN FULLY WHEN REFUELING CAUSING GAS TO BACK UP THE FILLER NECK. 3) DEFECTIVE "SAMPLING PUMP". THIS IS IN THE VENT SYSTEM BETWEEN THE FUEL FILLER PIPE AND THE REAR BUMPER. PUMP DOES NOT OPERATE WHEN IT SHOULD. 4) SMALL FILLER TUBE. GAS PUMP NOZZLES IN THE UK HAD TO BE CHANGED TO A SMALLER SIZE SO THAT THERE COULD BE SOME VENTING. THE VENT LINES IN MY CAR SEEM CLEAR. I AM CHANGING THE CHECK VALVE, AND I WILL SEE IF THIS IMPR...

MY HYUNDAI ACCENT 02 REFUSES TO FUEL UP CONTINUALLY SHUTTING OFF AT THE PUMP 1/4 GAL AT BEST, TWENTY MINUTES TO FILL, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM,,, THE FUMES CAN NOT VENT PROPERLY AND FORCES AIR BACK UP THE FILLER NECK OF THE GAS TANK AND SPRAYS GAS ALL OVER. THIS IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF BUT ALSO DANGEROUS TO EVERY PERSON IN THE AREA. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGER TO EVERYONE AND NEEDS TO B ADDRESSED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2002 HYUNDAI ACCENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSE THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,012 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,100.UPDATED 11/01/12 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE PUMP WOULD STOP FUELING AFTER 0.5 GALLONS OF GAS. THE CANISTER WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER THEN SUGGESTED TO CHANGE THE DMTC PUMP.
