STEERING
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK FROM MY RESIDENCE, I BEGAN HEARING A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL, AS WELL AS EXPERIENCING EXTENSIVE "PLAY" IN IT AS WELL. THIS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN MY LANE ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH HAS VERY CLOSE TRAFFIC, AND MADE RESPONSE TO MY STEERING ACTIONS SEEM DELAYED BECAUSE OF SAID PLAY. EVEN ON NORMAL CITY, SURFACE STREETS, IT WAS NOT HANDLING CORRECTLY, AND TOOK EFFORT TO MAINTAIN MY DESIGNATED LANE, AS WELL AS MAKING TURNS AND RESPONSE TO OTHER TRAFFIC WHERE MY STEERING WAS PERTINENT. THE ISSUE PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED TO THE POINT I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT IN HYUNDAI VEHICLES, AS WELL AS THEIR KIA VEHICLES. I COULD NOT FIND A RECALL, BUT DID SEE WHERE THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON KIA VEHICLES TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND AVOID THE RECALL. SO WHY NOT ON THE HYUNDAI VEHICLES AFFECTED WITH THIS SAFETY PROBLEM.

ENGINE
WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, GOING APPROXIMATELY 65-75MPH FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. AS I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR TO PREPARE FOR A LANE CHANGE, I REALIZED THAT I COULD PUT THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT MY "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT APPEARED. I TRIED AGAIN UNSUCCESSFULLY, THEN TRIED THE BREAKS. THE BREAKS WERE VERY STIFF, AS IF THEIR POWER TO THE ENGINE WAS CUT OFF. I TRIED TO TURN OFF OF THE HIGHWAY ONTO THE CURB, AND I NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WAS ALSO VERY STIFF. ALTHOUGH I COULD TURN, IT TOOK MUCH MORE STRENGTH THAN USUAL. I LET THE SPEED DECLINE NATURALLY UNTIL IT STOPPED ENTIRELY ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHILE STOPPED, I TRIED REPEATEDLY TO USE THE BREAKS, GAS, AND TEST THE STEERING, BUT THE SAME ISSUES WERE THERE WITH ZERO SUCCESS. ONE THING I CAN NOTE WAS THAT THE BATTERY APPEARED TO BE WORKING JUST FINE, AS MY RADIO WAS ON THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE TIME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. I TURNED THE CAR ON AFTER SOME TIME AND IT IMMEDIATELY WORKED - WITH EVERYTHING ELSE APPEARING TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE LIGHT AT THIS TIME WAS OFF, AND HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR INTO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, BUT BECAUSE THE LIGHT TURNED OFF, THEY CLAIM THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO READ WHAT HAD HAPPENED DURING THIS INCIDENT. THEY GAVE THE CAR BACK TO ME WHILE OFFERING NO SUGGESTIONS, THEY DID NOT EVEN TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK AT THE ENGINE. THEY EVEN SAID THAT THEY WOULD TRADE IN THE CAR FOR RESALE - AS IF THEY WOULD LET SOMEONE ELSE TAKE THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I AM LUCKY I DIDN'T DIE, AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. MY PROBLEM APPEARS TO LOOK MUCH LIKE THE RECALLS OF OTHER SANTA FE YEARS AROUND 2015. I HAVE TRIED FOR A WEEK TO CONTACT HYUNDAI WITH NO SUCCESS IN GETTING IN CONTACT WITH A CASE MANAGER. FAILURE MILEAGE AROUND 83,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IT STARTED OFF AS WHAT SEEMED LIKE JUST THE BULBS BURNING OUT IN ANY WHICH LIGHT. THEN MY PASSENGER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING THEN STARTED WORKING. THE LIGHTS STILL WERE HAVING ISSUES. IT TOOK A BIT FOR ME TO REALIZE THAT THERE IS A SHORT OR SOMETHING IN THE CAR. THE LIGHTS GO OUT THEN COME BACK ON THEN SWITCH WHICH ONE IS OUT. THE WORST TIME WAS WHEN IT WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND CAME BACK OUT WITH NO LIGHTS WORKING. I CONTACTED THE COMPANY TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO FOUL PLAY AND THEY CHECKED THEIR CAMERA. I'VE HAD THE LIGHTS LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIMES BY MULTIPLE DIFFERENT COMPANIES. IT NEVER FIXES THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY. A FEW WEEKS AGO THE BACK RIGHT PASSENGER LOCK STOPPED WORKING THEN THE NEXT WEEK THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW AGAIN. THEN YESTERDAY THE LOCK STARTED TO WORK AND TODAY IT DOESN'T AGAIN. AND SPEEDOMETER IS OFF. HARD TO SAY BY HOW MUCH. DEPENDS ON WHICH SPEED READER I GO BY.

STRUCTURE:BODY, POWER TRAIN
WHEN TRAVELING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND UPON ACCELERATION THERE'S LOSS OF POWER FOR A SPLIT SECOND, AND THEN IT'S BUMPING REAL HARD. IT CAN BE DESCRIBED AS A BUMPING NOISE, CLUNKING NOISE OR THUMPING NOISE. MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN BETWEEN 50-70 MPH. ALSO, THE PASSENGER BACK DOOR LOCK HAS BEEN WORKING OFF AND ON. IT FINALLY HAS STOPPED OPENING THE DOOR ENTIRELY. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE YET TO DIAGNOSE AN ISSUE AFTER TWO INSPECTIONS. AS OF 7/21/20 THE VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING THESE ISSUES.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED APPROX. 60MPH ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE A KNOCKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE BAY. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER AND BEGAN FILING A COMPLAINT TO HYUNDAI USA. AFTER 2 WEEKS OF THE VEHICLE SITTING THERE AND NO WORD BACK I CALLED THE DEALER TO FIND OUT IF IT HAD BEEN DIAGNOSED. NO ONE HAD LOOKED AT IT! NEXT DAY WE GOT A CALL STATING MOTOR WAS BLOWN UP AND A COST TO REPAIR WOULD BE $15,720!!!!! THIS VEHICLE WAS AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES ETC. ( VERIFIED BY DEALER OIL LEVEL WAS GOOD ) OIL LIGHT WAS NOT ON NOR DID ANY WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE DURING ANY OF THIS. THIS IS OUR SECOND HYUNDAI THAT WE HAVE OWNED WITH AN ENGINE FAILURE ( LAST VEHICLE HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR ENGINE. ) AND THIS WILL BE OUR LAST HYUNDAI.

ENGINE
I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF MY CAR'S ENTIRE ENGINE RECALL, BY MAIL, EMAIL, PHONE..NOTHING. I WAS ON THE BUSIEST FREEWAY (DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT...75MPH) IN THE STATE, AND MY CAR'S ENGINE FAILED!! I WAS SCARED TO DEATH. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. IT WAS THE MOST HORRIBLE AUTO EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE. I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE AND CAN'T DRIVE ON FREEWAYS. THE WHOLE ORDEAL, TOWING, EVENTUAL MOTOR REPLACEMENT , HAVING TO DRIVE BACK UP TO EXCHANGE RENTAL CARS, LOANER VEHICLES, ETC., HAS CAUSED ME SOME PTSD. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER IN THE TOWN CLOSE TO WHERE THE CAR MOTOR FAILED, HYUNDAI DID NOT SEND OUT ANY RECALL NOTICES.THEY DID NOT WANT TO BE INUNDATED WITH OWNERS. YES, THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP MANY MILES FROM MY HOME EVENTUALLY REPLACED THE MOTOR. HOWEVER, HYUNDAI DID NOT MAKE IT EASY FOR ME . IE., AT FIRST, NO LOANER CAR AVAILABLE (I HAD TO GET A RENTAL CAR.) I HAVE YET TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY TOWING AND RENTAL CAR EXPENSES. WHEN I FLASHBACK TO THIS, I GET UPSET. I CAN'T AFFORD TO SELL MY CAR, BUT DO NOT WANT TO KEEP IT EITHER. LOOK INTO THIS. AS I SAID, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. SAVE OTHERS FROM DYING OR INJURY PLEASE.

ENGINE
THE SANTA FE'S ENGINE SEIZED WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY GOING ~65 MPH. AFTER THE CAR WAS STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, OIL LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE WAS VISIBLE ON THE GROUND. THE SANTA FE'S ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER/START. AFTER TOWING AND LETTING THE CAR SIT OVERNIGHT AT AN AUTO SHOP, THE COLD ENGINE WOULD STILL NOT TURN OVER/START WHEN THE MECHANIC TRIED. THE TRUSTED MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED AND WAS USELESS. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR HYUNDAI'S SANTA FE SPORT AND SONATA OF THE SAME YEAR, 2013-2014 MODELS. THE RECALL IS FOR MACHINING ERRORS DURING ENGINE MANUFACTURING. THESE ERRORS CAN CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR OF THE BEARINGS LEADING TO ENGINE SEIZURES. HAVE OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCED THIS DEFECT IN THE 2014 SANTA FE?

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I FIRST "TESTED" THE CAR I MENTIONED TO THE SALES PERSON THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. HE CONVINCED ME IT WASN'T. ON 7/31/19 I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES AND HAD A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. I TOOK IT BACK FOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ALIGNMENT 3 TIMES BEFORE THE COVID OUTBREAK (TWICE BEFORE JANUARY). IT IS NOW MAJORLY VEERING TO THE RIGHT AND I HAVE TO KEEP IT FROM GOING THAT WAY WHEN DRIVING. I DON'T DRIVE FAR TO WORK WHICH IS WHY IT WASN'T AS MUCH OF A PROBLEM BEFORE.

SERVICE BRAKES
HYUNDAI ISSUED A RECALL RECENTLY RELATED TO THE ABS MODULE, WHICH CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT IN ADVANCE, AND AFTER WAITING FOR AN HOUR ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO ORDER PARTS. THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM AND WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE I CAME FOR THE APPOINTMENT, THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AND PUTS DRIVERS IN DANGER BY EXTENDING TIME SPENT DRIVING WITH THIS COMBUSTION HAZARD. IT HAS NOW BEEN TWO WEEKS (ON MONDAY) SINCE THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP ORDERED THE PARTS AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. I CALLED LAST WEEK TO CHECK IN AND THEY SAID THAT THE PART STILL HAD NOT BEEN RECEIVED AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT ARRIVED. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, IT SEEMS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT HYUNDAI IS TAKING THIS LONG AND NOT PROVIDING A SAFE ALTERNATIVE VEHICLE WHILE AFFECTED CUSTOMERS ARE WAITING ON THE PARTS.

THE CAR IS SLUGGISH ON ACCELERATION. LOOKING UP FORUMS IT SEEMS THAT QUITE A FEW ARE EXPERIENCING THIS. I JUST READ "I JUST READ AN ARTICLE THAT SAID THAT HYUNDAI WILL BE REPLACING SOME ENGINES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE CRANKSHAFT PIN." ON A FORUM.
