ENGINE
DRIVING VEHICLE ON THE PARKWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS SHUTTING DOWN, CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING, ENGINE LIGHT WAS BLINKING, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, BLUE LINK NOTIFICATION SYSTEM ADVISED TO GET TO SERVICE TODAY. THIS OCCURRED ONE WEEK AFTER THE CAR RECEIVED A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR A KNOCK SENSOR RECALL. CAR HAS BEEN IN SERVICE SINCE 3/9/19; DEALERSHIP REPLACED WIRIING HARNESS PER HYUNDAI'S RECOMMENDATION, WHEN THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, THE ISSUE HAS NOT RESOLVED. THEY ARE WAITING FOR HYUNDAI TO ADVISE OF NEXT STEPS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE EVER GETTING BACK IN THIS VEHICLE DUE TO ALL OF THE CURRENT ISSUES SURROUNDING HYUNDAI ENGINES, INCLUDING FIRES.

ENGINE
I HAD JUST MERGED ONTO THE INTERSTATE I-90 AT RUSH HOUR, AT ABOUT 55-60 MPH WHEN THE STEERING FROZE AND THE CAR TOTALLY STOPPED. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT & MAINTAINED IT REGULARLY. THEIR MECHANICS CHECKED IT OUT. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS THE BEARING MATERIAL WENT FIRST, CAUSING A SEIZED CRANKSHAFT. NEED A NEW ENGINE AT 105,000 MILES !!! DEALER COST OF NEW ENGINE WAS STATED AT $8000. THEY ALSO GAVE ME THE ALTERNATIVE OF BUYING A USED ENGINE FOR $6000 BUT ONLY WITH A 3 YR WARRANTY. AT MY NORMAL USAGE, ASSUMING I CONTINUE TO DRIVE ABOUT 17,500 MI/YEAR, IT WILL COST ME $8000 PLUS REGULAR MAINTENANCE TO GET ANOTHER 52,500 MILES OUT OF THIS CAR. THIS IS A TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT HANDLING IN A PRO-ACTIVE MANNER. AT LEAST HYUNDAI COULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR MY CAR TO ALLOW THIS FIX TO BE DONE AT NO COST TO ME. THEY OBVIOUSLY KEPT THE SCOPE OF THEIR RECALL TOO NARROW BECAUSE PAGES AND PAGES OF COMPLAINTS EXIST ON NHTSA WEBSITE ARE DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAD. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

ENGINE
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON NJ PARKWAY IN HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC DOING 70 MILES AN HOUR. CAR THEN STUTTERED AND SLOWED DOWN, WITH HER HAVING TO MOVE THREE LANES OVER WHILE TRYING TO GET OVER BRIDGE. HYUNDAI BLUE LINK CAME ON AND TOLD HER TO GET CAR IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER THEY SAID DUE TO THE KNOCK SENSOR UPDATE THE ENGINE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AT 27,000 MILES? THIS WAS DONE BY HYUNDAI TWO WEEKS AGO. UPDATE TO YESTERDAY 3/23/19 AND SAME THING HAPPENED TO HER AGAIN GOING TO WORK ON THE NJ PARKWAY. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, SAME ISSUES, SAME COMPUTER SCREEN SHOWED IN THE CAR AND WILL BE NEEDING NOW SECOND ENGINE AT 29,000 MILES. TWO BLOWN ENGINES UNDER 30,000 MILES, HYUNDAI ADMITS THE PROBLEM TO US AND NOT SURE WHY OTHERS ARE HAVING ISSUE. RECEIVED RENTAL CAR BOTH TIMES. WILL SEE HOW HYUNDAI RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM, THEY SHOULD BUY BACK CARS FROM OWNERS AND REIMBURSE TIME MISSED FROM WORK, PAIN AND SUFFERING AS WELL AS THE STRESS OF DRIVING ON ,AMIR HIGHWAY AND LOSING POWER IN YOUR CAR.

SEATS
THE DRIVER'S SEAT APPEARS TO BE SET TOO LOW AT THE BACK OF THE SEAT. THE SIDES OF WINGS OF THE BUCKET SEAT ARE TOO HIGH NEAR THE REAR OF THE SEAT. DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN IT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO POSITION THEMSELVES AWAY FROM THE LEFT SIDE WING EITHER FORWARD OR FORWARD AND TOWARDS THE CENTER CONSOLE. I WORRY THAT DUE TO THE POOR SEAT DESIGN SITTING PROPERLY POSITIONED WITHIN THE SEAT IS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT SIT COMFORTABLY. IT APPEARS ONLINE THAT MANY COMPLAIN ABOUT THE DRIVER'S SEAT. DURING AN ACCIDENT I BELIEVE GREATER PERSONAL BODILY INJURY COULD OCCUR TO A DRIVER BECAUSE OF THE POOR SEAT DESIGN AND NOT BEING PROPERLY SEATED IN THE SEAT. I HAVE RIDDEN IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT MIGHT BE THE OUTER PLASTIC SHROUD ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT THAT CAUSES THE IMPROPER SEATING WITHIN THE VEHICLE. I WORRY FOR MY SAFETY, MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND OTHER DRIVER'S SAFETY BECAUSE OF THE POOR SEAT DESIGN.

POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR ON ITS OWN AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT IT WAS STILL UNDER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. POHANKA HYUNDAI (1770 RITCHIE STATION COURT, CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD 20743, (240) 788-4240) DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER INITIALLY FOUND CODES RELATED TO THE ABS SPEED SENSOR AND STATED THAT THERE APPEARED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL. THE DEALER FURTHER STATED THAT THE ABS MODULAR WAS ACTIVATING ON ITS OWN, WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE REPAIRS WOULD COST $2,900 AND THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY; HOWEVER, THEY OFFERED TO COVER A PART OF THE LABOR COSTS. THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH AND TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER ALL THE REPAIRS AND CONCLUDED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THE CONTACT'S MOTHER PASSED AWAY; THEREFORE, THE ORIGINAL POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WAS VOIDED. THE MANUFACTURER CALLED THE DEALER AND OFFERED TO CONTRIBUTE $630 TOWARDS THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

ENGINE
SHORT VERSION- THIS CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN, CREATING A TRAFFIC HAZARD AND REQUIRED TOWING AND HYUNDAI DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. LATER IT ALSO CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE MOVING IN A PARKING LOT. THERE WAS SMOKE INSIDE THE CAR AND SMOKING COMING OUT THE FRONT GRILL. IT HAS SEVERAL KNOWN FACTORY MANUFACTURE KNOWN ISSUES THAT ARE WELL DOCUMENTED NATIONWIDE TO CREATE ENGINE FIRES, STALLING, SEIZED ENGINES, JUST LIKE OURS. . HYUNDAI REFUSES TO REMEDY. HYUNDAI ALSO DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO PREVENT ENGINE SEIZURE ON AN ALREADY DEAD MOTOR, THAT IS NOT PERFORMING ITS SAFETY FEATURES AS DESIGNED AND THEY WILL NOT REMEDY. THEY ARE CHARGING US FOR THE MOTOR THAT IS STILL DEFECTIVE, AND A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THEY WILL NOT FIX THEIR FACTORY DEFECT LEMON CAR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAS GAUGE DOES STOPPED READING FUAL PROPERLY.. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS DRIVING TO WORK EARLY IN THE MORNING THE VEHICLE STUDDARD I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND HAD TO MANEUVER QUICKLY TO AVOID BEING HIT IN THE REAR. I FOUND OUT I HAD RUN OUT OF GAS. ATTACHED IS A LINK WITH OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH GAS I PUT IN IT I DO NOT GET CORRECT READING. IF I PUT $30 WORTH OF GAS IN MY VEHICLE IT WILL ONLY READ HALF FULL. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGER BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN I RUN OUT OF GAS AND BEING ON THE HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN RUNNING OUT OF GAS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP IN A DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING BECAUSE I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE CAR TO GET THE MAIL. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WENT TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AS I GOT OUT THE VEHICLE STARTED GOING IN REVERSE AND PULLED ME UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND THE VEHICLE RAN OVER ME. I'M NOT SURE IF THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF PARK TO REVERSE ON ITS OWN OR IF THE SHIFTER WASN'T ACTUALLY PLACED IN PARK. I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE COULD SENSE IF NO ONE WAS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND AUTOMATICALLY PUT THE CAR INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL. THE HEATED SEATS AND AIRBAG WON'T TURN ON UNLESS IT SENSE WEIGHT IN THE SEAT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ON MARCH 5, THIS VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET. I WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND ME AND MY PASSENGER COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND HAS 2600 MILES ON IT. I HAVE FOUND THAT HYUNDAI IS DOING A RECALL TO REPLACE STARTER AND A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF THE NEW TECHNOLOGY THIS VEHICLE HAS WHICH IS AN AUTOMATIC START AND STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT THAT THE STARTER SHORTED OUT AND APPARENTLY THE SOFTWARE IN THE CAR JUST STOPS THE CAR WHILE DRIVING.. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT 35 MILES/HOUR ON A BUSY STREET. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT I WAS NOT HIT AND INJURED OR KILLED. CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR A NEW STARTER AND SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH A POSSIBLE SHIP DATE OF MARCH 31, 2019. THESE 2019 SANTA FE ARE NOT SAFE TO BE SELLING TO THE PUBLIC WITH THIS KNOWN DEFECT.

SUSPENSION
THIS WAS COVERED BY HYUNDIA RECALL CAMPAIGN 124. I FILLED UNDER CASE # 9878948. SPRING REPAIR 2/12/14, SOLD CAR 4/5/14, RECALL 2/4/15. THEY ONLY WOULD PAY FOR $318 OF THE $917 TOTAL REPAIR AND SAID IT HAS TO GO TO A HYUNDIA DEALERSHIP. THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE SENSERS, STRUT MOUNTS , SWAY BAR LINK ETC PER THE INVOICE. I CONTACTED THE PERSON I SOLD IT TO AND MADE A DEALER APPMT BUT THEY DIDN'T SHOW. HYUNDIA CONSUMER AFFAIRS 800-633-5151 TOLD ME TO FILE A DISPUTE WITH BBB AUTOLINE WHICH I DID UNDER CASE # HYU1713624. THEY NEVER RESPONDED. BBB AUTOLINE NOW SAYS THAT THEY DON'T HANDLE RECALLS DISPUTES BUT YOU DO. I JUST TALKED TO THEM AND THEY REFERRED ME TO YOU. WITHOUT EVER TALKING TO ME, WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET THE CAR INTO A DEALER AND WAITING FOR THE BBB AUTOLINE RESPONSE HYUNDIA CLOSED OUT THE CASE. IRONICALLY HYUNDIA WOULD HAVE REPLACED BOTH SPRINGS WITH OEM, ALL OTHER DAMAGED PARTS AND ANY DAMAGED TIRES PER THEIR RECALL. IT WOULD HAVE COST THEM 2X AS MUCH AS THE $917. THEY WOULDN'T EVEN CALL MY MECHANIC WHO THE LOCAL HYUNDIA DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED AS REPUTABLE. IN OUR CASE, THE BROKEN SPRING BENT THE STRUT, DAMAGED THE SWAY BAR AND TORE THE ABS SENSOR WIRE. THE LANGUAGE IN THE RECALL INFORMATION ACTUALLY CALLS FOR THE DEALER TO REPLACE INSTALLED NON-OEM STRUTS WITH OEM STRUTS SO THE NEW BRACKET WILL FIT PROPERLY. GIVEN THIS, I AM SURPRISED THAT YOU CHOSE NOT TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE ONE STRUT AND MOUNT ($62.1 6 +$135.88) & REPAIR ($37.20) AND THE SPRING REPAIR ($37.20). LIKEWISE HYUNDIA CHOSE NOT TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGED ABS SENSOR ($175.94) AND ITS REPAIR ($55.80). IN MINNESOTA, LIKE MOST STATES, PARTS ARE SUBJECT TO SALES TAX OF 7.125%. IN THIS CASE IT ADDED UP TO ($45.25) WHICH HYUNDIA CHOSE NOT TO PAY. LIKEWISE HYUNDIA CHOOSE NOT TO PAY THE SHOP SUPPLIES ($13.18) AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL FEE ($4.93) WHICH ARE PRETTY TYPICAL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES AND IS NOT ACCURATE. AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE MAY SHOW "EMPTY", AND IT RISES AND FALLS VERY QUICKLY. THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, TURNING, OR WHEN PARKED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON. THERE IS NO WAY TO ACCURATELY TELL HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE TANK. THIS FAULTY FUEL GAUGE COULD LEAVE ANY SANTA FE MOTORIST AND THEIR PASSENGERS STRANDED IN A DANGEROUS AREA(E.G. BUSY HIGHWAY) OR CONDITION(E.G. BLIZZARD OR HEAT WAVE IN ARIZONA). PLEASE INITIATE A RECALL TO HAVE THIS FIXED. PER ONLINE SOURCES, MANY SANTA FE OWNERS IN THIS YEAR RANGE HAVE THIS SAME BROKEN FUEL GAUGE.

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON MY CONSOLE 2 DAYS AGO. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT AND CONCLUDED IT WAS THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS). I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 07/25/2012 RECAL NUMBER 12V354000 FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I WAS NOT THE OWNER AT THAT TIME. I CALLED 2 HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS NEARBY - COUNTRYSIDE AND ST. PETERSBURG, FL WHO BOTH TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY OPEN RECALLS UNDER MY VIN NUMBER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO ACCEPT ALL CHARGES FOR THE COST TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. AS OF NOW I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE BECAUSE HYUNDAI WILL NOT HONOR MY VEHICLE!!!
