2014 Santa Fe 2.4 turbo with $10,000 miles left me stranded on the side of road. The fuel gauge said I had 46 miles left before empty, but car ran out of gas and stopped running. No gas light was on. Had to have car towed to a dealer. Fortunately the car came with the 24/7 road side assistance plan and the towing company provided quick service. However, I left the car with key in it. It was 100 degrees & I wasn't about to wait for the tow truck. It would not crank, therefore, no one would drive off with it. I was lucky enough to be a half mile from my home, so I walked back to my house. If I had been on an interstate, I would have been calling Hyundai directly and asking for a ride.
I just don't understand how the fuel sending unit went bad after 10,000 miles. Now my car is in the shop (Wednesday) , could not get part over nighted, therefore, car will not be ready until Friday afternoon. Dealer will remove gas tank to get to the fuel sending unit in the tank. How inconvenient!
