2007 Hyundai Santa FE complaints

FUEL GAGE STOPPED REGISTERING FUEL IN TANK, EMPTY LIGHT IS ON, NO GUAGE MOVEMENT OF NEEDLE. HAVE TO GUESS ON AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ESC UNIT. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE RIGHT HAND FRONT BREAK WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN AT RADIUM GRAB AND JERK THE CAR TO THE RIGHT. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 35 TO 70 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP 3 OR 4 TIME TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED AND HAVE SPENT $1,300.00 AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM BEING TOLD WE DON'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WE NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN IN A SITUATION THAT IT CAUSES SOMEONE TO GET HURT OR KILLED. I HAVE ASKED THAT EITHER DISCONNECT THE ESC SYSTEM OR REVERSE IT SO THAT IT IS NOT ON UNTIL YOU NEED IT AND THE HYUNDAI SERVICE PEOPLE SAY THAT CAN'T BE DONE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS CORRECT BUT THEY ARE THE SMART PEOPLE ON THE CAR. I WILL TELL YOU THIS IF THIS PROBLEM CAUSES AN ACCIDENT THAT SOMEONE GETS HURT I WILL BE SEEKING AN ATTORNEY AND NOTIFYING THE INSURANCE OF THE PROBLEM AND THE FACT THAT HYUNDAI HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANKS

'INTERMITTENTLY' HESITATES TO ALMOST STALL ON MOVING FORWARD FROM STOP, AND 'BUCKS' WHILE MOVING STEADILY AT CONSTANT SPEEDS BELOW 40MPH. AVERAGE GAS MILEAGE HAS DETERIORATED FROM 19 - 20 TO 15 - 16. CAR HAS ALWAYS RUN ON MOBILE ONE AND REGULARLY SERVICED. CAR HAS STALLED WHILE IN MOTION ON OPEN ROAD!

I BOUGHT TGIS CAR IN DEC.2017 FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP..SHOETLY AFTER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME DAYS LATER BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AND THE SALESMAN/OWNER SAID ITS THE GAS CAP..CAME ON 3 MORE TIMES..THEY KEPT SAYING ITS THE GAS CAP..WELL I TIGGTEN THAT CAP TILL IT CANT TURN.ANOTHER THING THE BACK END OF THE CAR MAKES BUMOING NOISES ESPECIALLY GOING OVER A BUMP!! IT FEELS LIKE BACK ENDS GOING TO FALL OFF..LAST WEEK MY W YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN HER CARSEAT BEHIND THE DRIVERSIDE,I WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT AND I HEARD A THUMP.I LOOKED MY GRANDDAUGHTER LOOKED SCARED..UHOH SHE SAYS.SHE DIDNT DROP ANYTHING..THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT THE BACK OF IT FELL OFF!! WTH!!!

SENSORS -ARE BAD. HAVE TO TURN OFF ESC TO KEEP FROM ABS PULLING ME OFF THE ROAD. FEELS LIKE BRAKES ARE FALLING OUT. SOMEONE ELSE I SAW SAID SHE HAD SAME ISSUE. I PAID OVER $2,000 TO GET BRAKES FIXED AT DEALERSHIP-NEVER FIXED ISSUE. I TURN OFF BUTTON ONLY GIVE ME A CHANCE TO DRIVE.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR STOPPED WORKING SO CAN NO LONGER TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR. IT CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. I AM MANUALLY HAVING TO TRACK HOW MANY MILES I HAVE TRAVELED SINCE LAST FILL UP. THIS IS COMPLETELY FRUSTRATING IF NOT UNSAFE BASED ON THE FACT THAT I SEE THAT NUMEROUS HYUNDAI SANTA FE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE CONSIDER ASKING FOR A RECALL ON THIS.

CRANKSHAFT HARMONIC BALANCER BROKE APART WHICH CAUSED LOSS OF CONTROL: ( OF THE STEERING, BRAKES, LIGHTING, ETC. ) THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT A VERY LOW SPEED WHILE TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY! FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY STOP AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WHICH PREVENTED EXCESSIVE DAMAGE FROM SHRAPNEL. IF THIS OCCURRED AT THE INTERSTATE SPEEDS, IT COULD HAVE PROVED CATASTROPHIC FOR MYSELF, PASSENGERS AND OTHER HIGHWAY TRAVELERS. MY CHECKING ONLINE DISCLOSED THERE ARE MANY OCCURRENCES OF THIS NATURE! UNFORTUNATELY I DID NOT TAKE PHOTOS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VISOR FRACTURED AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A CONSTANT OIL LEAK CONCERNING THE VALVE COVER GASKET. THE PREVIOUS VEHICLE OWNER HAD THE GASKET REPLACED AND RESEALED MORE THAN FIVE TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. WITHIN TWO MONTHS OF THE CONTACT OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE PART WAS REPLACED AND RESEALED BY THE DEALER (LITHIA RENO HYUNDAI, 2620 KIETZKE LN, RENO, NV 89502, (775) 800-5703) AND REPLACED UP TO SIX TIMES TOTAL. THE DEALER ALSO REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR DUE TO THE FAILURE CAUSING OIL TO LEAK INTO THE PART. IN ADDITION, THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED AN UNKNOWN RECALL REPAIR, BUT THE FAILURE PROGRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE REMEDY FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY PROVIDED A GOOD WILL SOLUTION OF COVERING THE REPLACEMENT AND RESEALING IT TWICE. IF THE FAILURE RECURRED, THE CONTACT WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE DEALER DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ESC IS INTERMITTENTLY TURNING ITSELF OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHEN I AM DRIVING. HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING AND AM AT A VERY LOW SPEED, BUT ALSO HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS AT TIMES. ONLY WAY TO TURN IT BACK ON IS TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RE-START. IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY OVER THE LAST WEEK (ALMOST A DAILY OCCURRENCE).

FUEL GAGE ALWAYS CHANGES LEVELS. CONSTANTLY MAKING THE LOW GAS LIGHT TO TURN ON EVEN AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK UP AT THE GAS STATION. ITS VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU GAS LEVEL IS WHEN MANY USE THE SANTA FE AS THEIR FAMILY CAR TO TRANSPORT THEIR CHILDREN. ITS BEEN HAPPENING THE PAST WEEK

FUEL GAGE REPORTS INACCURATE READINGS CAUSES CHECK INGINE LIGHT TO COME ON.

FUEL INDICATOR GAUGE IS BROKEN. DOES NOT PROPERLY INDICATE FUEL LEVEL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. VERY COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO ONLINE SEARCH. TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX WHEN IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER HYUNDAI RECALL WHEN IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM. I WILL NOT KNOW IF THERE ARE OTHER ENGINE ISSUE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALWAYS ON. DANGEROUS.

SOMETIMES WHEN I MAKE A LEFT OR IGHT TURN, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. THIS ISN'T THE ONLY ISSUE BUT THE CAR TURNS OFF AND THE STEERING LOCKS. IM NOT ABLE TO TURN OR STOP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IM AT A VERY SLOW SPEED WHILE TURNING. IT HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I WENT ONLINE AND IT WAS MANY COMPLIANTS AND REVIEWS ON THE 2003 TO 2006 MODELS. IM REALLY AFRAID THIS CAN CAUSE A COLLISION. IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAD ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND MADE A TURN ON A STREET WHILE STEERING. SOMEONE NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. I HAD OTHER RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE IN THE PAST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S STEPSON WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED TO 60 MPH. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAREY MOTORS (3204 FRUITVALE BLVD, YAKIMA, WA 98902), BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO RUN TESTS AT THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO REASON. I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT IS WORKING OR NOT. STARTED ABOUT 85,000 MILES. APPEARS TO BE COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR. HAPPENS FREQUENTLY DURING DRIVING.

FUEL INDICATOR GAUGE IS BROKEN. DOES NOT PROPERLY INDICATE FUEL LEVEL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. VERY COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO ONLINE SEARCH. TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX WHEN IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER HYUNDAI RECALL WHEN IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM. I WILL NOT KNOW IF THERE ARE OTHER ENGINE ISSUE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALWAYS ON. DANGEROUS.

DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. SOMETIMES LOCK, SOMETIMES DO NOT. MOSTLY THEY UNLOCK BUT DO NOT LOCK PROPERLY. THE KEY FOB ALSO DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. HAVE HAD THE BATTERY AND SYSTEM CHECKS AND THERE WERE NO ISSUES. DANGEROUS TO HAVE DOORS NOT LOCK PROPERLY FOR A SINGLE WOMAN IN PARKING LOTS OR EVEN WITH THE CAR PARKED OUTSIDE AT NIGHT.

MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE WHEN PULLING IT DOWN AS I WAS DRIVING, LITERALLY HUNG IN MY FACE AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. 2 WEEKS LATER, THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE. READING ON LINE, SEVERAL SIMILAR PROBLEMS REPORTED.

ESC OFF LIGHT COMES ON THEN VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN TO 20 MPH AND WILL NOT SPEED UP. MUST PARK TURN ENGINE OFF TO GET TO GO AGAIN. NO LONGER WORKS.

MY ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL SENSOR 2 TIMES AND FUEL PUMP I DO NOT EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY CAR BECAUSE THE GAUGE IS NOT CORRECT. NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON IT FAILED THE E CHECK ?????? THERE HAS BEEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM

THE SENSORS THAT READ THE GAS WENT OUT ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO

2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE FUEL GAUGE FLOATS FROM FULL TO EMPTY. BAD SENSORS. COST TO REPLACE IS NEARLY 1000.00 CONSIDERABLE SAFETY ISSUE, AS YOU NEVER KNOW PRECISELY HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN TANK. ASKING FOR RECALL.

IN 8/2015 WE EXPERIENCED AN OCCURRENCE OF SUDDEN, UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON A CITY STREET WHILE DRIVING. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY HARD BRAKING AND SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF. SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME AND WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM: "...CHECKED AND FOUND VEHICLE THROTTLE BODY TO HAVE A POOR RESPONCE (SIC)." THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY FOR A CHARGE OF $597.94, INFORMING ME THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE 10 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM RECURRED TODAY (7/14/2015), AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. WHEN I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO REPORT THE INCIDENT I WAS TOLD TO DROP THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEY'D LOOK AT IT. I'LL HAVE IT TOWED IN TO THE SHOP, AS THIS IS NOT A CONDITION WITH WHICH I'D NOT CARE TO DRIVE. THE FACT THAT THIS CONDITION RECURRED INDICATES THAT THE PROBLEM IS GENERIC IN NATURE, AND THAT HYUNDAI IS NOT CONSIDERING IT EITHER GENERIC OR SERIOUS ENOUGH TO ADDRESS. I BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE OTHER VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE NOW THAT THE "FLEET" OF HYUNDAI SANTA FE SUVS IS AGING BUT STILL IN SERVICE. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT HYUNDAI ADDRESS THE ISSUE SYSTEMATICALLY BEFORE SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR.

APPROXIMATELY 2015 THE FUEL LEVEL SENSORS BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING AND THEN FAILED COMPLETELY WITHIN A FEW WEEKS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CONSTANTLY SHOW AN EMPTY FUEL LIGHT EVEN WHEN FULL. IN 2017 AT SOME THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKE CALIPER BRACKET PINS SEIZED WITH NO NOTICEABLE DRIVING DIFFERENCE UNTIL DRIVERS SIDE REAR ROTOR BEGAN TO FAIL. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH ONLY 1 REAR BRAKE. HYUNDAI DOESN'T SELL THE PARTS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE WHOLE CALIPER MUST BE PURCHASED NOT JUST THE DEFECTIVE PARTS.

I GOT A LETTER FOR A RECALL FOR UNDERBODY CORROSION PREVENTATIVE CARE, HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK TO THE DEALER TO GET THIS DONE, THE UNDERCARRIGE/UNDERBODY WAS ALREADY TOO CORROTED/DAMAGED AND HYUNDAI IS NOT WILLING TO FIX IT, INSTEAD THEY ARE TRYING TO OFFER ME $4,800 WHICH WILL NOT BUY ME A NEW SUV CAR. AND THIS IS DUE TO A MANUFATURE DEFFECT.

THE GAS SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. CAUSE THE TANK TO SHOW OUT OF GAS WHEN THERE IS AT LEAST A HALF A TANK IN IT. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. I WOULD TRAVEL TO GET IT CHECK ONLY FOR THE LIGHT TO BE OFF. I AM UNABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE WITH OUT FILLING UP MY TANK EVERY COUPLE OF DAY TO ENSURE THAT I ACTUALLY HAVE GAS. IT IS CAUSING THE CAR TO BE SLOW IN STARTING AFTER A LIGHT OR WHEN TRYING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC, HITTING THE GAS DOES NOT REALLY DO MUCH. IT'S A DANGER ON THE ROAD. IN DOING A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH WHILE TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT THE ISSUE MIGHT BE - IT SEEMS THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD AND KNOWN HYUNDAI PROBLEM THAT HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED BECUASE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A LOSS OF LIFE. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE OT GET THAT FAR TO PREVENT WHAT IS AN OBVIOUS AND WIDESPREAD ISSUE.

ON A JUNE 3, 2017, WE WERE EXITING THE HIGHWAY. DURING THE TURN IN TRAFFIC, THE CAR SLOWLY LOST ALL POWER. ALL OF THE LIGHTS LIT UP AND THE SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE AND RPM INDICATORS WERE MOVING BACK AND FORTH. WE WERE ABLE TO GLIDE TO THE LIGHT IN TRAFFIC AND MAKE IT TO A PARKING LOT SAFELY. I AM SO GLAD WE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT!! MY HUSBAND SHIFTED THE GEAR TO PARK AND THE CAR RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS. WE WILL BE TAKING IT TO A HYUNDAI DEALER BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING. IS THERE A RECALL PUT THERE? THIS WAS OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE LIKE THIS WITH THE CAR.

BOTH FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNITS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 91,000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IMPROPER/INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READINGS PROMPTED THE REPAIR WHICH COST OVER $400 AT MY LOCAL MECHANIC. PER THE MECHANIC AND INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE PREVALENT WITH PRE-2010 SANTA FE MODELS AS HE RECENTLY REPLACED ANOTHER SET OF FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNITS IN A SANTA FE. CLEARLY NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.

FOR THE LAST 3-6 MONTHS MY ENGINE LIGHT AND FUEL GAUGE HAVE BEEN ACTING UP. MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TO CHECK ENGINE AT SAME TIME MY FUEL AMOUNT READS EMPTY OF 1/4 TANK AMOUNT AFTER I JUST FILLED UP. I'M TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE SENSORS FOR 600.00 PLUS DOLLARS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I DONT WANT TO RUN OUT OF FUEL BY A BAD READ OUT OR STALL IN TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, WHICH PRODUCED FAILURE CODES FOR THE FUEL SENDERS AND BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V113000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V472000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

WHEN STARTING OUR 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE YESTERDAY, THE "ESC OFF" LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH. I TRIED TO PRESS THE BUTTON TO SEE IF IT WOULD ENGAGE, BUT IT HAD NO REACTION. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAITED A WHILE AND RESTARTED AND THE LIGHT WAS GONE. HOWEVER 10 MINUTES LATER WHILE DRIVING 73 MPH ON THE HWY, THE "ESC OFF" LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND SUDDENLY THE FRONT END FELT LIKE IT WAS PULLING AND BEGAN TO MAKE SORT OF A WHISTLING SOUND LIKE THE BRAKES WERE RUBBING ON SOMETHING. IT ALSO FELT LIKE THE REAR END WAS FISH TAILING. WE STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN. WE STARTED BACK ON THE HWY AND AGAIN SHORTLY INTO THE DRIVE, SAME ISSUE. WE DROPPED THE SPEED DOWN TO 60 / 65 AND GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND TOOK SIDE ROADS HOME. I LOOKED UP SOME OF THE INFORMATION AND SAW OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND A RECALL FOR A STOP LAMP SWITCH, BUT WHEN CALLING HYUNDAI AMERICA THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL, SO AT THIS POINT WHAT'S CREATING THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN. I FELT THIS NEEDED TO BE REPORTED BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, NOT ONLY THE PULLING OF THE VEHICLE THAT CAUSED US TO DECELERATE, BUT THE INSTABILITY OF THE REAR END COULD HAVE EASILY CREATED A MAJOR WRECK IMPACTING ME, MY FAMILY AND THOSE AROUND US.

TURN SIGNAL COLUMN, TURN SIGNAL RAPID CLICKING, TURN SIGNAL DOESN'T TURN OFF, SMOKE FROM STEERING COLUMN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER SERVICED THE VEHICLE BY PROVIDING COATING ON THE FRONT AND REAR AXLES OF THE FRAME. HOWEVER, THE MAIN PORTION OF THE FRAME (FROM FRONT TO BACK) HAD EXTENSIVE RUST, CORROSION, AND HOLES. THE MECHANIC NOTIFIED THE TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALER, BUT THEY FAILED TO NOTIFY THE CONTACT AND PROVIDE FURTHER COATING TO THE FRAME. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE RUST AND CORROSION WERE TOO EXTENSIVE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY MAY PROVIDE A BUY BACK OR A TRADE IN OPTION. THE CONTACT HAD NOT YET RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING A SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A TWO LANE HWY MAKING MY WAY TO THE MAIN HWY THE CAR LOST ALL POWER, WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE TRYING TO STEER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. THE POWER STEERING WAS ALSO OUT, VERY HARD TO STEER. AFTER PULLING OVER I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED STARTING THE ENGINE. IT STARTED UP, I DROVE HOME IN THE SLOW LANE SO IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN I WOULD BE CLOSE TO THE SHOULDER. THIS WAS VERY SCARY, NOW I'M AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE. AFTER SEARCHING GOOGLE TO SEE IF I COULD FIND SOMETHING THAT MAY HAVE CAUSE THIS, I READ ABOUT A RECALL THAT MAYBE THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE MY CAR HAS ALREADY HAD THE RECALL REPAIRED BUT FEEL IT MAYBE DEFECTIVE AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL .GAS GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY EVEN WHEN TANK IS FULL. I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST HAD A REAR END COLLISION . GAS GAUGE SHOWED I HAD 1/2 A TANK OF FUEL . I WAS STATIONARY IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON I-77

FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX. I ASKED IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MASSEY HYUNDAI AND THEY TOLD ME YES THIS IS A CURRENT ISSUE, AND COULD NOT BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DANGEROUS. SO ON 3.9.17 AS A RESULT OF NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE PRICE. MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT ONCE WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR AND CRASHED. AND A SECOND TIME WHILE TURNING INTO WORK ROAD AND STALLING OUT AGAIN MID TURN AND ALMOST TURNING INTO A DITCH. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY HAD TO DO BOTH BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T SURE WHICH ONE IT IS. IF NOT FIXED COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, WELL IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MOST HYUNDAI VEHICLES THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE COMPANY WHO MAKES IT NOT THE PEOPLE WHO BUY FAULTY PRODUCTS.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I HAD ABOUT A HALF TANK OF GAS AT THE TIME. WHILE WAITING ON A PASSENGER THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY. I THOUGHT PERHAPS I HAD A LEAK, BUT DIDN'T NOTICE OR SMELL GASOLINE. I WENT TO THE FUELING STATION AND FILLED UP. IT ONLY TOOK ABOUT 7 GALLONS TO FILL THE TANK. WHEN THE TANK GETS TO APROX HALF FULL THE NEEDLE WILL TRAVEL TO EMPTY. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR A RECALL, BUT FOUND NONE. WHEN RESEARCHING THE RECALL I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE SANTA FE VEHICLES.

INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF FUEL GAUGE SENSOR CAUSED FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW FUEL EMPTY CAUTION LIGHT TO COME IF THE TANK WAS EMPTY OR NOT EMPTY. HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. HAVE SEEN ONLINE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH 2007 HYUNDAIS. BECAUSE OF THE EXTENSIVE PROBLEM, HYUNDAI SHOULD RECALL THIS AND BEAR THE COST OF THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR.

THERE IS A GASKET LEAK THAT DRIPS OIL ON TO MY CAR'S ALTERNATOR, AFFECTING ITS ABILITY TO WORK. LAST YEAR, THIS PROBLEM CAUSED MY CAR NOT TO START, AND COMPLETELY DRAINED MY NEW CAR BATTERY (WHEN I THOUGHT THIS WAS SIMPLY A CAR BATTERY ISSUE). LAST YEAR, IT WOULD NOT START FOR ME AT ALL - I DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM TOO LATE. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE GASKET LEAK IS OCCURRING AGAIN AND CAUSES MY BATTERY LIGHT TO COME ON WHILE DRIVING. WHILE I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION AND REPAIR, I WAS BY HYUNDAI'S CAR DEALERSHIP TO NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT AND TO NOT DRIVE WHILE IT'S RAINING.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. DEALERSHIP FOUND CODE B1495. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PART , FOR THIS YEAR ON OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT IS THE SAME "BELT TENSION SENSOR UNIT" ON ALL THESE MODELS. WHY IS NOT THE SANTE FE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 09V-497? THANK YOU *TR

I MOVED TO USA FROM CANADA 8 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE IMPORTED MY SANTE FE 2007 AT THE SAME TIME. LATER I RECEIVED A CAMPAIGN NOTIFICATION 50CA07 (C0260) FROM CANADA. I HAVE JUST CONTACTED A HUYNDAI DEALER HERE IN GEORGIA USA AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY SANTE HAS TO BE REGISTERED WITH HYUNDAI USA EVEN IF THE CAR WAS IMPORTED. HE SAID THAT UNTIL THEN, HE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI USA AND THEY REPLIED: THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA. WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS YOUR INQUIRY REGARDING YOUR IMPORTED 2007 SANTA FE FROM CANADA INTO THE US, AND HAVING THE RECALL CAMPAIGN C0091 COMPLETED. WE UNDERSTAND YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP YOU CONTACTED MAY IMPACT HOW YOU PERCEIVE HYUNDAI'S VIEW OF CUSTOMER VALUE AND APPRECIATION. WHILE WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASSIST YOU, WE MUST ADVISE THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO DIRECTLY PROVIDE YOU WITH ASSISTANCE DUE TO OUR SCOPE OF SUPPORT BEING SOLELY LIMITED TO THE DEALERSHIPS LOCATED WITHIN, AND THE VEHICLES ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR SALE AND OPERATION WITHIN THE 50 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. DUE TO THIS, WE MUST REQUEST THAT YOU PLEASE CONTACT HYUNDAI AUTO CANADA FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE, AS THEY WILL BE IN THE BEST POSITION TO ASSIST YOU. THE CANADIAN BORDER IS AT 2 DAYS DRIVE + 2 DAYS TO COME BACK + A DAY TO HAVE THE JOB DONE. I EXPECT THEM TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR (WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED IN ALABAMA USA) IS NOT A CANADIAN CAR ANYMORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE JERKED LEFT AND RIGHT AND LEANED ON ONE SIDE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE DRIVER TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED A NUMBER OF TIMES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

GASKET LEAKS OIL ONTO ALTERNATOR CAUSING IT TO FAIL. HYUNDAI HAS A RECALL ON THE SISTER CAR HYUNDAI VERACRUZ FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT THE SANTA FE. I HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY ON THIS REPAIR AND THINK THAT I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL ABOUT MAY 2016 AIRBAG DASH LIGHT AND PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT MALFUNCTION, DASH LIGHT STAYS ON, PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE PASSENGER. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP ON 8/18/16, AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT "PROBLEM DUE TO A MAKEUP BAG WEDGED UNDER PASSENGER SEAT CAUSING POOR CONTACT AT CONNECTORS." WITHIN 4 DAYS, AIRBAG DASH LIGHT AND PASSENGER LIGHT WERE MALFUNCTIONING AS INITIALLY DESCRIBED ABOVE. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP ON 9/8/16 FOR SAME PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP DID A PODS RESET, A RECALIBRATION AS I UNDERSTAND IT. AIRBAG DASH LIGHT AND PASSENGER LIGHT WORKED FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE THEY MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN AS INITIALLY DESCRIBED ABOVE. FURTHER COMMUNICATION WITH DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN TO INFORM ME THAT THE "OCS MAT IS $2473.50 PLUS $312.50 FOR INSTALL. THAT'S THE WHOLE SEAT. HYUNDAI DOES NOT OFFER IT SEPARATE." THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THIS IS NOT MY BILL TO FOOT, IT'S HYUNDAI'S. IN THE MEANTIME, I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE AIRBAG PROTECTION.

WHILE DRIVING, THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR DETACHED AND FELL, SWINGING FROM THE ELECTRICAL WIRES. WENT ON LINE TO CHECK THIS AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING. COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. HYUNDAI DEALER ORDERED A NEW VISOR AND CAN REPLACE IT, BUT IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ESC INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 10 MPH. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO DEACTIVATE THE ESC. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V113000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WAS HANGING BY WIRES THEN CAME OFF AT 75,000 MILES NOW AT 114,000 MILES PASSENGER SIDE HANGING BY WIRES
