LAST MARCH I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THE VEHICLE HESITATING TO STALLING OUT WHEN COLD AND ACCELERATING. THIS IS WORSE THE COLDER IT GETS OUTSIDE. ALSO WHEN DRIVING YOU CAN FEEL A HESITATION/MISSING GOING ON, ALMOST LIKE THE GAS ISN'T FLOWING STEADILY INTO THE ENGINE. AND RECENTLY MY GAS GAUGE IS NOT SHOWING ACCURATELY WHAT IS IN THE GAS TANK. I'LL FILL UP AND IT STILL READS EMPTY WITH THE LOW FUEL LIGHT ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. IT'LL EVENTUALLY AFTER FEW START UPS START TO "SUPPOSEDLY" DISPLAY THE CORRECT GAS AMT ON THE GAUGE. I RESET MY TRIP METER TO MEASURE HOW MANY MILES ON THE TANK SO I DON'T RUN OUT. BUT THE STALLING ON ACCELERATION IS A BIG ISSUE. THIS COULD HAPPEN AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND END UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I'VE READ ON THIS SIGHT OTHERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM.. I HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH A GMC ENVOY, ABOUT THE SAME YEAR AS MY HYUNDAI, GMC MADE GOOD ON THE PROBLEM AND COVERED THE EXPENSES AS THEY HAD A "SILENT" RECALL ON THAT ISSUE. HOPEFULLY HYUNDAI WILL BE DOING THE SAME, WE'LL SEE AFTER THURSDAY NIGHT.
