MY 2008 HYUNDAI ACCENT GS WAS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING SO I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A FUEL PUMP. I HAD IT REPLACE. THE CAR WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK UNTIL I WENT TO PUT GAS IN IT. I'VE GOTTEN STUCK AT THE GAS STATION 3 TIMES AFTER I HAVE PUT GAS IN MY TANK. IT SEEMS THAT EVERYTIME I PUT GAS IN IT DOES NOT WANT TO START. IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I'VE SEEN ONLINE THAT HUNDREDS OF HYUNDAI VEHICLE OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. AND I FEEL THAT HYUNDAI NEEDS TO RECALL THIS CAR. IT'S HORRIBLE. I'VE HAD COUNTLESS ISSUES WITH IT SINCE I'VE BOUGHT IT. AND I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. PLEASE HELP! *TR
