2002 Hyundai Accent

Purchased car 2002 in Arizona. About 2009 when the check engine light came on and when filling the car with gas the pump would stop after less than .25 gallons pumped. It takes greater than 20 minutes to fill the tank and many times the auto shut off fails and I end up being sprayed gasoline. This is a personal safety issue as well as an enviromental hazard. There are many similar complaints about this issue, but it is repeatedly ignored. What will get this addressed, some one being seriously injured after being doused with gasoline?

I GOT THIS CAR IN 2015 AND IT KEEP FAILING THE STATE OF OHIO VECHICLE INSPECTION E-CHECK TEST AND THE SAME CODE KEEPS COMING UP..... P1401..... WHY... IT FAIL ON JAN 16,2019 AND IN 2017 JAN.19.17 I SPENT $398.52 AND HAD GAS TANK FILLER NECK AND CANISTER VENTVALVE REPLACE.....AND AGAIN SAME CODE 2019 "P1401..HELP THKS.

WHEN PUTTING GAS IN THE CAR, THE FUEL PUMP CLICKS OFF EVERY 10 CENTS OR SO AS IF THE TANK IS FULL BUT IT IS NOT. SOMETIMES THE GAS OVEN RUNS BACK OUT OF THE TANK AS IF IT IS OVERFILLED AND RUNNING OVER, BUT IT IS NOT. I LIVE IN NJ, WHICH IS ONE OF THE TWO STATES THAT HAVE FULL SERVICE GAS STATIONS. AND GAS STATION ATTENDANTS CONSTANTLY TELL ME THAT THEY ENCOUNTER THIS PROBLEM SPECIFICALLY WITH HYUNDAI'S ALL THE TIME! THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE ALSO SEEN THIS WITH BRAND NEW HYUNDAI MODELS AS WELL, SO IT'S NOT A PROBLEM THAT HAS IMPROVED OVER THE YEARS SINCE MY DATED 2002 MODEL. EVEN THE SERVICE TECH AT MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WAS ALL TOO FAMILIAR WITH THIS DEFECT WIDELY KNOWN WITH HYUNDAI'S WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM. HE ALSO QUOTED ME A PRICE AROUND $600, WHICH HE SAID FROM HIS EXPERIENCE AS A TECHNICIAN DOESN'T GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED. THERE ARE CASES OF THE PROBLEM COMING BACK AFTER THE REPAIR IS DONE! I CONTACTED HYUNDAI WITH MY CONCERNS AND TO SPECIFICALLY ASK WHY THIS WIDELY KNOWN DEFECT WAS NOT RECALLED AND I DID NOT GET A REAL ANSWER TO MY QUESTION. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME. AND LOOKING AT SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED, PLUS THE PEOPLE I'VE TALKED TO (INCLUDING HYUNDAI EMPLOYEES), THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS COMMON PROBLEM, BUT REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A DEFECT AND FIX THE ISSUE. VERY FRUSTRATING.

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 IMPROVES THE SITUATION. IT ALSO SEEMS THAT THE HYUNDAI DEALERS DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM AND WHAT CAUSES IT. *TR

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
