NHTSA PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE FAULTY MOTORS...SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY BEEN. HYUNDAI LOOKED AT THE CAR AND SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE MOTOR UNDER WARRANTY.

SANTAFE WON'T START. EVERYTHING COMES ON DASH AND RADIO AND AC BUT CAR WON'T EVEN TURN OVER. I TALKED TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THIS HAS BEEN A REACURING PROBLEM. JUST WONDERING WHY NO RECALL IF IT KEEPS HAPPENING. I CAME HOME AND WHEN I TRIED TO LEAVE IT WOULDN'T START. WAITED AND IT STARTED. THEN I GOT UP THE NEXT DAY AND AGAIN WON'T START.

SUV STALLED OUT ON EXPRESSWAY AT 50MPH. THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD TAPPING NOISE THEN ENGLINE AND OIL LIGHT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD. I COASTED DOWN THE EXIT RAMP NEARLY BEING HIT BY MERGING TRAFFIC. THE BRAKES BECAME HARD AND COSTED TO STOP SIGN. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO NEXT BLOCK TO MY HOME BY PLACING CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTING . THE ENGINE AT THIS POINT SOUNDS LIKE A WOODPECKER TAPPING ON WOOD. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND AWAITING WARRANTY REPAIR.AUTHORIZATION. THIS EVENT MIRROR THE RECALL ISSUED BY HYUNDAI AND NHTSA#17V-226. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THIS RECALL AND WAS TOLD 30MIN LATER THAT MY ENGINE WAS AFFECTED. I FOUND OUT THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MY CRANKCASE OFF NOT JUST DO AN OIL CHANGE. I AM STILL WAITING ON WORLD HYUNDAI TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE.

THE REAR AND FRONT SUSPENSION MAKE A NOISE EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. EVEN WHEN THE DOORS ARE CLOSING, THE NOISE CAME OUT FROM THE SUSPENSION. IT'S BEEN THIS WAY FROM THE BEGINNING OF DRIVING MY CAR.

WE TOOK OUR 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT VIN #[XXX] INTO SHAWNEE MISSION HYUNDAI ON APRIL 16TH, 2018, AS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE WHILE WE WERE DRIVING IT, WE HAD PULLED OUT OF A PARK ON TO A STREET THAT IS HEAVILY TRAVELED AND IT MADE THE SHUT DOWN NOISE AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLACK. WE PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT, BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE IF THE CARE WAS STILL RUNNING OR NOT. I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND ON AND IT WAS STILL BLACK. THE CAR WAS LOCKED INTO THE PARK POSITION AND WE COULDN'T GET IT OUT. WE CALLED AAA AND THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK DRIVER OUT. HE SHOWED ME HOW TO USE THE KEY INSIDE THE FOB TO GET IT OUT OF PARK AND SAID TO IMMEDIATELY TACK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED AS THIS WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE NAMED [XXX] FROM THE DEALERSHIP. ACCORDING TO MIKE, THEY ORDERED A REPLACEMENT PART THAT ARRIVED LAST WEDNESDAY AND IT HAD A BROKEN PIECE ON IT, SO THEY ORDERED ANOTHER ONE. IT ARRIVED ON FRIDAY AND AFTER INSTALLATION, ON SATURDAY OUR CAR STILL WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WE FINALLY GOT OUR CAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON APRIL 27TH AND THE PANEL WENT OUT AT 12:30 ON APRIL 29TH AFTER GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND STOP LIGHT.

THERE IS A RUMBLING NOISE AFTER COMPLETING A TURN, GENERALLY LEFT HAND TURNS. ALSO, DURING THE TURN, THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF

WHILE IN REVERSE BACKING CAMERA SCREEN BLACKS OUT FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHILE CAR IS BACKINGA. (EVERYTIME)

THE DRIVERS SEAT IS LOOSE AND WILL ROCK BACK AND FORTH. IT OCCURS IN MOTION AND WHEN STATIONARY. IT FEELS LIKE IN AN ACCIDENT IT MAY BECOME DISLODGED. IT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE SEAT TRACKS.

MY CAR STARTED SMOKING WHEN CRANKING IT AND BURNING OIL LIKE CRAZY. NOW MY CAR HAS A BLOWN ENGINE. I WAS NEVER INFORMED ABOUT THE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V226000.

THE PAINT IS FLAKING/PEELING ON HOOD, ROOF AND BACK BUMPER. RANGING FROM TINY SPOTS AL THE WAY TO LARGE AREAS (APPROX. 6 INCHES X 3 INCHES) IAS WELL AS THE TRIM DOWN THE SIDES ON THE PAINT IN PEELING OFF AS WELL. I HAVE CHECKED AND SEEN THAT THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SEVERAL OWNERS OF THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL APPEARING TO BE THE SAME IN COLOR ALSO) PLEASE CONSIDER RECALLING AND CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM, GIVING PEOPLE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR COMPANY AGAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS RECALLS ON THIS MODEL ALREADY SO IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED IF THIS WOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS A PROBLEM WITH EITHER THIS MODEL OR SPECIFIC COLOR BEING A DEFECT IN THE WHITE PAINT. I DON'T THINK WITH THIS PROBLEM I CAN SPECIFY IF VEHICLE WAS MOVING OR STAIONARY AS INFORMATION ASKED TO INCLUDE IN ALL COMPLAINTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,690.

THE DEALER DIDN'T NOTIFY ME ABOUT THE RECALL #162. IT TURNED ON THE ENGINE LIGHT A LOT OF TIME AND LOSS POWER WHEN I'M DRIVING.

VEHICLE HAS SLIGHTLY OVER 78,000 MILES. ENGINE SEIZED WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I AM NOT BEING TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SOLD US THE WRONG WARRANTY, GAVE US AN OUTDATED CAR FAX REPORT, AND IS SAYING THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

HYUNDAI IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT 2.0 TURBO SPARK PLUGS GERNADING INSIDE THE HEAD AND CYLINDER COMBUSTION CHAMBER. THIS IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER, OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES AROUND THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE AND SISTER IN LAW WHILE TRAVELING ON CA241 HAD THIS OCCUR. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, AND SHE HAD TO MAKE EVASIVE MANEUVERS TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO AN OFF RAMP WHERE THE SANTA FE THEN DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES EQUIPPED THE THIS ENGINE AS WELL AS THE 2.4I. HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE DOES NOT SEEM TO HELP WITH CUSTOMERS PROBLEMS REGARDING THIS. THEY ARE EVASIVE, AND ARE TELLING CUSTOMERS THEY WILL CALL YOU WITH IN 3-5 DAYS. ALL THE WHILE YOUR VEHICLE IS SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP NOT RUNNING AND AN ENGINE THAT DOES NOT RUN. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM, OFFER IT'S CUSTOMERS A NEW ENGINE FOR THIS CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AND NOT PUTS IT'S CUSTOMERS IN DANGER OF BODILY HARM OR POSSIBLY DEATH. HOW MANY LIVES SHOULD BE SACRIFICED FOR THE GREED THAT HYUNDAI IS GETTING BY NOT GETTING THESE UNSAFE VEHICLES REPAIRED OR OFF THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT JUST A HYUNDAI PROBLEM BUT A PUBLIC SAFETY PROBLEM AS WELL.THIS ENGINE FAILURE IS A KNOWN DEFECT BY HYUNDAI, AND NOT BEING REPAIRED. THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF PROFIT BEFORE SAFETY. THIS VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH, WH

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND MY CAR MADE A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE AND STOPPED. ALL OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS TURNED ON. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN IT BACK ON BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START.

SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING......WE WERE DRIVING ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY ON A CLOUDY AFTERNOON. TEMP WAS 47 DEGREES AND TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH. THE CLOSEST CAR IN FRONT OF US WAS 1/2 MILE. ALL OF A SUDDEN A LOUD SHOTGUN LIKE SOUND AND GLASS EVERYWHERE. THE FRONT SECTION OF OUR PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED. MY WIFE WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND MY 19 MONTH OLD WAS IN THE BACK SEAT. GLASS WAS ON ALL OF US.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (HEALEY HYUNDAI, 410 FISHKILL AVE, BEACON, NY 12508). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, OBD-II TROUBLE CODE P0087: FUEL RAIL/SYSTEM PRESSURE - TOO LOW. HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I EXPERIENCED THE SYMPTOMS OF P0087: ROUGH RUNNING, POOR ACCELERATION ON THE HIGH WAY, AND HARD STARTING.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY, THE SPEED AT 60~65 MPH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 2~3 TIMES, EACH TIME JUST LASTED FEW SECONDS AND ACCELERATION PROBABLY COULD TRIGGER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.

HOOD LATCH RECALL. I BEGAN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE HOOD LATCH CABLE REPLACED IN AUGUST AFTER LEARNING OF THE RECALL. I FEEL THAT HYUNDAI MADE IT PURPOSEFULLY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART. I WAS ORIGINALLY REQUESTED TO DRIVE OVER 3 HOURS TO GET TO A DEALER, AND MY REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST WENT UNANSWERED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I WAS ASKED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR IDENTICAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION AND RECEIPTS, AND WAS GIVEN INFORMATION IN A TIMELY MANNER. AT THIS DATE, I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPLACING THIS PART. DUE TO MY INTERACTIONS, I BELIEVE HYUNDAI IS PURPOSEFULLY MAKING THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART A BURDEN ON CONSUMERS.

HYUNDAI SANTA FE ENGINE RECALL. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED EXPLANATION

ON NOVEMBER 14, 2017, I BEGAN HEARING SOME KNOCKING NOISE. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SANTA FE SPORT STALLED WITH NO WARNING. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, WHERE PEOPLE WERE HONKING AND HAVING TO GO AROUND ME. I WAS SO SCARED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DECIDED TO RETURN HOME INSTEAD OF GOING TO MY ORIGINAL DESTINATION. TEN MINUTES LATER, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE SAME THING HAPPENED, THE SANTA FE SPORT STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND GET HOME. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL INFORMATION IN THE MAIL. I LATER LEARNED THAT IT IS HYUNDAI RECALL 162. THE SANTA FE HAS ABOUT 54,000 MILES ON IT.

THERE S A PROBLEM WITH ENGINE ITS KNOCKING TOOK IT IN ON RECALL SERVICE @ TEXASN HYUNDAI IN ROSENBURG TEXAS SERVICE REPORED THE SUV WAS OK THE CAR BROKE DOWN IN BYRAN TEXAS AND IS LOCATED @ BRAZOS VALLEY IMPORTS PHONE NUMBER IS 979=776-7600 MY NUMBER IS 8322025474 P S NEED CAR BROUGHT CLOSER TO MY HOME IN HOUSTON TEXAS 77033 .

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED

I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE I80 20 MILES WEST OF LINCOLN, NE AT APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH. I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND IT LOCKED UP IMMEDIATELY, THE TACHOMETER DROPPED TO 0 RPM AND I LOST POWER STEERING. THIS VEHICLE HAD ALREADY HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED FOR THE KNOWN ENGINE LOCKING ISSUE. WITHOUT SOME QUICK REACTION THERE VERY EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERE INJURIES.

MY 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT 2.0T IS ON THE REXALLL LIST FOR ENGINE PROBLEMS; IT WAS AT DEALER LAST WEEK WHER THEY CHANGED OUT FUEL PUMP & SUPPOSEDLY CORRECTED AN ISSUE W METAL DEBRIS IN OIL GOING TO ENGINE. HAD PROBLEMS LESS THAN 48 HOURS LATER; WAS TOLD I COULD BRING IT IN OR TAKE TO GET BATTERY TESTED. NOW, 48 HOURS AFTER THAT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I BELIEVE THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS THIS IS PART OF THE RECALL ON THIS MODEL. IT DOESN'T SOUND OR FEEL RIGHT COMPARED TO YOU HOW IT WAS DRIVING A MONTH AGO WHEN I PURCHASED USED WITH 36K MILES.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 55MPH, IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, AS WELL AS JUST SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. EVERY OTHER TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES THEN GOES OFF, ON/OFF, ON/OFF ETC... AND JUST AS OFTEN AS THE LIGHTS CHANGES THE SHIFTING IT'S EXTREMELY HARD WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. THEN THE VERY NEXT DAY, IT RUNS PERFECTLY FINE. HOWEVER, IT REACHES EXTREMELY HIGH RPM'S BEFORE SHIFTING. WHEN IT DOES THAT, IT LITERALLY FEELS LIKE THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR IS GOING TO FALL OUT FROM UNDERNEATH. MAYBE PURE COINCIDENCE BUT NONE OF THIS STARTED UNTIL I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR RECALL NOTIFICATIONS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID NOTHING THEY DID WOULD HAVE CAUSED ANY OF THIS TO HAPPEN. AND OF COURSE, WHEN YOU TAKE IT TO HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AT IT, IT NEVER RUNS "OTHER THAN NORMAL". THE VEHICLE IS ONLY GOING ON ALMOST 5 YRS OLD, AND HAS 68,530 MILES.

MADE A LEFT TURN WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITION (ENTER THE TURN FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 15 MPH). A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, WHILE IN THE TURN, FOLLOWED BY A BRIEF VIBRATION. I MADE AN IMMEDIATE RIGHT TURN ON TO A NEARBY SIDE STREET AND FELT THE VIBRATION AGAIN, BUT NO NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A SAFE LOCATION A FEW HUNDRED FEET FROM WHERE THE INITIAL NOISE WAS HEARD. UPON LOOKING AT AND THEN UNDER THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE A BLACKISH/GRAY FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE AREA OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED AND A TOW TRUCK RESPONDED WITHIN AN HOUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A NEAR BY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. THE DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT A SERVICE MANAGER FROM THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME AND REPORTED THAT THE HOUSING FOR THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL CRACKED. THE DIFFERENTIAL WILL BE REPLACED AND COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

ON DEC 18TH DRIVING ON A COUNTY ROAD OUTSIDE OF GUNNISON, CO MY 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT WAS IN MOTION AND A CLICKING NOISE BEGAN IN ENGINE. AFTER ~1 HR AND AFTER CHECKING FLUID LEVELS A LOUD POP IN THE ENGINE CAUSED IT TO CEASE FUNCTIONING WHILE IN MOTION (~45-55 MPH) LEAVING MY STRANDED IN DANGEROUSLY COLD TEMPERATURES THAT NIGHT. I WAS FORCED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE, WITH NO LOANER CARS AND A 6 WEEK WAIT ON A NEW ENGINE, WAS FORCED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM HYUNDAI WITH NO EXPLANATION OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ENGINE. A FEW WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM HYUNDAI CORPORATE STATING THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A SAFETY RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V-226). IT IS CLEAR THAT HYUNDAI KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM AND NOT ONLY DID NOT REIMBURSE ANY EXPENSES RELATED TO THE ENGINE ISSUE AND PUT ME IN A SITUATION REQUIRING ME TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THEM.

MY CAR IS STATING TO SHOW SIGNS OF LOSS OF POWER AND HESITATION AS NOTED AS SOME OF THE AFFECTS FROM THIS RECALL. I DID NOTICE THIS SAME TYPE OF ACTIONS BACK IN SEPTEMBER, AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR COMPLETELY DIED ON ME AND WAS JERKING AND HESITANT WHEN IT WOULD RUN. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR TO PHIL LONG HYUNDAI OF MOTOR CITY AND PAID $624.03 FOR REPAIRS, AND NOT THE SAME ACTIONS ARE OCCURRING. I WOULD LIKE ACTION TO BE TAKEN PRIOR TO A COMPLETE STALL AND WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE $624.03 I PAID OUT BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2016 FOR REPAIRS.
