Hyundai Santa Fe fuel pump issue

[Rick]

I have an 09 Hyundai Santa Fe. When I worked at Hyundai one of the techs I worked with told me that the fuel pumps in the gas tank like to give up around 100k miles. It seemed like we had one Santa Fe in every two weeks for this issue.

Now my Santa Fe is acting weird. When I remove the fuel cap, and try to start the car it idles rough and dies. Then I have to crank it over several times before it will start. Often it will start, idle really low, then die.

Anyone have experience with this?

I don’t work for Hyundai anymore and before I write up an RO at work for diagnostics I want to have an idea just how bad my ass is going to bleed for parts.

Maybe I should ask a easy question like flag hours for a Honda repair so people can watch a video from Eric, answer the question and pretend to be a tech……

Or maybe you should post your question to the correct forum so that people actually respond to it. This thread is for established pattern failures. It’s not a place where you get a lot of response to a post. It’s more FIY.

It’s OK. I’ll move it for you.

Thank you for moving it to the proper location Eric.

I posted it under common pattern failures because we saw about 4 or 5 of these issues a month every month for a couple years. And many techs have told me it’s a common issue.

I do feel honored that you took the time to respond and moved it for me. My sarcasm made me look like a prick.
