What owners wrote
I bought a brand new hyundai elantra on 5-8-03 and on 6-30-03 and again on 7-30-03 I have had to take the car back to the dealer to have service for the same problem, which I found out this last service call, had been a known problem with that particular car in that yr of model, and no one has a fix for the problem yet.
A few months back I began noticing that my check engine light came on. Would take 10- 15 mins to fill up gas tank. Sensor was triggered every few seconds, suggesting gas tank was full, but it was not. Took it to the dealer and was told there was nothing wrong with the car. With in the last month I have been noticing that rear automatic locking seat belt is not staying locked. Child car seats do not stay secured.
