Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / December 2005'99 Accent Gas Guage Broken Again!?!?!
Here's the story. My sister bought a '99 Accent from a dealership and the gas guage wasn't working. Apparently the dealership had fixed the gas guage previously for the owner so they replaced the entire tank for free. Worked about a month then it died again. What's gives? They're going to fix it for free but I'm questioning how effective that'll be. What's wrong with it? Chris It'll only be as effective as the weakest link in the repair, whether that's another defective part, improper repair, misdiagnosis, or simply a poor quality part that failed too soon after replacement. I've had gas gauges malfunction on a couple of cars. I found that it was simpler to get used to filling up based on mileage on the trip computer (reset it at every fill-up) than to try to fix the gas gauge. The in-tank sending units just go bad after a while and they're a pain to replace. > I've had gas gauges malfunction on a couple of cars.

But you can't complain about free! CHris >>I've had gas gauges malfunction on a couple of cars.

I didn't realize that it was a warranty issue. you sure that repairs free? isnt the whole car covered for 5 yrs and th r est is power train in the usa?? >>>I've had gas gauges malfunction on a couple of cars.

The dealer did this exact repair a few months before we bought the car, it broke, they fixed it for us for free and it's broken again. So it's more like a repair warranty. Chris |
