2013 Hyundai Santa FE complaints

THE MOTOR STATED TO ACT UP. IT WAS DRIVING REGULAR THEN ALL AT ONCE THE MOTOR STARTED TO MAKE A GRINING NOISE THEN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TO 20 MPA. I GOT SCARED THEN CAME HOME IT WAS SMOKING TOO. I PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED STILL GOING 20 MPA

2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT (FWD). HAVING TROUBLE ACCELERATING INTERMITTENTLY 3 TIMES, HAPPENED ON 10-15-2020 (ON HIGH WAY), 12-28-2020 (ON HIGH WAY) AND 12-31-2020 (ON LOCAL), CAR CAN NOT BE ACCELERATED WHEN GAS PEDAL STEPPED, TACHOMETER SHOWS ZERO, SPEEDOMETER LESS THAN 40 MPH. CAR WAS BACK TO NORMAL AFTER RESTART.

ABS & BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON. EVEN AFTER REPLACING BRAKES. THIS IS CURRENT RECALL BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP UNDER THIS RECALL. THE RADIO & GPS WORKS BUT THERE IS NO SOUND COMING OUT. I WAS ABLE TO RESET BEFORE BUT NOT ANYMORE.

ON 11/02/2020 MY HYUNDAI SANTAFE SPORT BROKE DOWN. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC AT UNIVERSAL HYUNDAI THAT THE 4TH CYLINDER WAS MISSFIRING AND THAT GASOLINE WAS SPRAYING INTERNALLY. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF MY CAR AND HAVE CHANGED OIL REGULARLY AND HAVE NEVER HAD A SINGLE ISSUE WITH THE CAR. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION I GOUND THAT HYUNDAI HAD TWO RECALLS ( 164 AND 194) I WAS TOLD BY THE REP AT UNIVERSAL HYUNDAI THAT MY CAR WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE AND THAT IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. HOWEVER HYUNDAI ENDED UP GOING BACK ON THEIR WORD AND SAID MY EGINE WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND THEY WOULDN'T PAY FOR ANYTHING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY ON 12/21/20 AND MY ENGINE COMPLETELY SEIZED, NO WARNING AND INCREDIBLY TERRIFYING. THE CAR CAME TO A VERY SUDDEN STOP, AND WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT WE WERE NOT KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. MY CAR BEGAN SMOKING AND IT SMELLED AS IF IT WERE BURNING, WE CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY. I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN, AND I WAS ALSO UNABLE TO SWITCH IT TO NEUTRAL SO THAT I COULD GET OUT OF THE BUSY TRAFFIC. HAD TO CALL 911 AND PRAY THAT I WAS NOT HIT WHILE WAITING FOR THEM. I TRIED CONTINUOUSLY TO START MY CAR SO THAT I COULD MOVE OUT OF THE TRAFFIC, BUT ENGINE COMPLETELY SEIZED, GEAR WOULD NOT SHIFT TO NEUTRAL, AND WE WERE STRANDED IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ONCE COPS CAME WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED 40 MILES AWAY AND IT IS NOW SITTING USELESSLY IN THE DRIVEWAY.

ORIGINALLY I DROVE THIS VEHICLE WHICH IS MOSTLY DRIVEN BY MY WIFE ON THE WEEK OF 27OCT20. I NOTICED A FEW TIMES SOMETHING SMELT LIKE IT WAS BURNING, I COULDN'T DECIPHER IF IT WAS A BURNT OIL OR ELECTRICAL SMELL. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF, I WAS ABLE TO THROW IT INTO NEUTRAL AND PRESS THE START BUTTON AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AS I WAS ROLLING DOWN THE STREET. IT DID THIS TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT FRIDAY, 30OCT20 FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND FOR THEM TO LOOK INTO IT. IT WAS AT THE END OF THE DAY SO THEY HAD NO UPPER TECHNICIANS TO CHECK IT OUT BUT THEY DID PERFORM AN OIL AND CABIN AIR FILTER CHANGE AND ASKED THAT I BRING IT BACK. 3 WEEKS LATER ON 19NOV20 I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS AGAIN WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO KNOCK AND SHUT OFF AGAIN. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER ON 28NOV20 AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE AND READING A BUNCH OF ARTICLES ABOUT HYUNDAI & KIA BEING FINED FOR NOT RESPONDING TO A RECALL WHICH STATED DEBRIS FROM MANUFACTURING COULD RESTRICT OIL FLOW TO CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THE KNOCKING IN MY ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE, POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE FOUR-CYLINDER ENGINES TO STALL OR CATCH FIRE. I HAVE HAD ALL OF THIS MINUS THE FIRE THANK GOD! BUT, NOW THE IT MAKES SENSE ABOUT THE BURNING SMELL I WAS SMELLING. I BELIEVE ALL THESE ISSUES ARE TIED INTO CAMPAIGN#/RECALL 162. FOR THIS RECALL A SENSOR SHOULD'VE BEEN INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE BACK IN 2

THE ENGINE JUST SEIZED UP WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING. CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED WITH ONLY 95 THOUSAND MILES. THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THE OTHER ENGINES BUT NOT THE 3.3 ENGINE. THE SHOULD RECALL ALL OF THE ENGINES

I CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT WITH MY HEADLIGHTS. STEERING IS VERY LOOSE.

DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR WEATHER AND DRY ROADS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WESTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 4, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. FORTUNATELY, WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS TRAFFIC TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON BUT THE CAR DIDN'T START. EXITED THE VEHICLE AND WALKED TOWARDS THE FRONT TO SEE SMOKE, AT FIRST, THEN SAW FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. TRIED TO DIAL 911, BUT HAD WEAK CELL SIGNAL. APPARENTLY 911 WAS NOTIFIED. HIGHWAY PATROL ARRIVED, THE FLAMES WERE SPREADING AND GETTING LARGER. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED, THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES, WHICH REACHED ALMOST 10 FEET HIGH. THE FIRE FIGHTERS WERE ABLE TO CONTAIN THE FIRE BEFORE IT REACHED THE FUEL TANK, BUT THE VEHICLE AND ITS CONTENTS WERE TOTALLY BURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS A SHELL OF METAL AND ASH WHEN IT WAS TOWED AWAY.

ENGINE STARTS BUCKING AND JERKING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS SOMETIMES IT WILL LAST FOR MOMENTS AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL LAST FOR HOURS. MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF GAS OR PROBLEMS WITH FUEL SYSTEM OR BAD GAS

WHILE DRIVING I TURNED THE CORNER GOING ROUGHLY 7 MPH AND MY CAR JUST COMPLETELY STALLED OUT. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK STARTED BUT DROVE IT HOME AND DIDN'T WANT TO RISK TAKING IT OUT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY OR STREET.

CAR BURNED OIL PUTTING 2 QUARTS BACK IN IT EVERY WEEK/ TOPPING IT OFF. OIL LIGHT DOESN'T INDICATE OIL IS GETTING LOW AND OR DOES IT COME ON. LEFT SIDE OF STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS DON'T WORK AT ALL. WHAT'S THE POINT OF THE BLUETOOTH IF YOU CANT USE THE IMPORTANT PART OF THE FUNCTION THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HELP. BOTH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

AIR AND DEFROSTERS QUIT TURN ENGINE OFF RESTART AND IT WORKED.5 TIMES .THE ENGINE IS A 2013 2.0 TURBO SANTA FE USING OIL 2 QUARTS A WEEK, ENGINE IS MAKING A NOISE. ALSO, DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT GETS BAD? YOU MUST CHECK THE OIL ALL THE TIME..

1. SPEED SENSOR- REPLACED BY RECALL AND CONTINUE TO FAIL. 2. REAR GLASS IN HATCHBACK, JUST BROKE ORIGINATION FROM WIPER HOLE IN GLASS WHILE THE CAR WAS OCCUPIED SITTING NOT MOVING A A PARKING LOT. 3. STEERING RATTLES BECAUSE A SHOCK DAMPER WEARS OUT PREMATURELY. 4. SEATS- ELECTRIC CONTROL BUTTON CONTACTS TARNISH WITH USE AND QUIT WORKING.

MY CAR WAS STALLING, AT A STOP LIGHT, WOULDN'T START UP AT HOME AND WOULDN'T START AT WORK.

I CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE BECAUSE OF THERE DESIGN FAILURE IT WAS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR IT $4526.02. AGAIN HYUNDAI SAID THEY WERE NOT LIABLE. I WANT TO BE REIMBURSE FOR ALL MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES.

CLICKING SOUND IN STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURNING WHEEL. SOUND HAS GOTTEN LOUDER AND MORE FREQUENT WITH USAGE. THIS IS DURING NORMAL DRIVING/TURNING. OCCURANCES STARTED OUT ONLY OVER SEVERE BUMPS AND SHARP TURNS, NOW MUCH MORE FREQUENT OVER SMALL BUMPS AND SLIGHT TURNS, EVEN WHEN STATIONARY AND TURNING WHEEL. PER INTERNET COMPLAINT SITES, THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD. APPEARS TO BE A CHEAP PLASTIC COUPLING THAT IS FAILING. STARTED AT ABOUT 75000 MILES.

MERGED INTO I-95/THRUWAY FROM DUNKIN DONUTS AND NOTICED THE VEHICLE HAVING DIFFICULTY GOING UP SLIGHT HILL. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND HAD A LIGHT NEW NOISE. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER AND NOTICED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, OPEN THE HOOD NOTICED HEAT COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD BUT NOTHING NOTICEABLE. TRIED TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO NEAREST MECHANIC WHO SAID THEY WOULDN'T TOUCH IT BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE AN ENGINE ISSUE AND TAKE IT TO HYUNDAI. ALL THE HYUNDAIS NEARBY WERE CLOSING AND COULDN'T HELP FOR 2 DAYS. HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO MY BOROUGH ALMOST 2 HOURS AWAY. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY SITTING THE HYUNDAI SERVICE TO BE LOOKED AT IN 2 DAYS AND NO GUIDANCE ON WHAT TO DO IN THE MEANTIME BESIDES CALL YOUR INSURANCE. THANKFUL WE CAUGHT THE ISSUE AND PULLED OVER BEFORE IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. OTHERWISE 5 PEOPLE INCLUDING A 4 YEAR OLD WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER/OTHER VEHICLES BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OR TURN ON AFTER I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT, PURCHASED CPO 4 YEARS AGO AT HYUNDAI ALONG WITH TLP AND FULL COVERAGE. FIRST TIME THIS CAR EVER GAVE US ANY ISSUE. NO WARNING SIGNS BETWEEN THE DUNKIN AND THE INCIDENT 4 MILES OF GUT FEELING SAYING PULL OVER SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.

ABS,ESC, BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ON, INCLINE WARNING LIGHT ON WHEEL BEARING SPEED SENSORS BOTH HAD TO BE REPLACED CODES INDICATED PROBLEM WITH WIRES, REPLACED BUT NO SOLUTION

WHILE DRIVING AT VARYING SPEEDS, WHILE GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS, TURNING CORNER, MORE NOTICEABLE AT SLOWER SPEEDS, IS A CLICKING NOISE & ALMOST FEELS LIKE A MOMENTARY LOSE OF CONTROL OF THE STEERING. NOT SURE IF IT HAS TO DO WITH ADAPTABLE STEERING (SPORT, COMFORT, NORMAL) CONTROL'S, OR THE MAIN CONTROLS OF THE STEERING.

MY HYUNDAI SANTA FE GLS RECENTLY SEIZED MID DRIVE. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING, NO LIGHTS INCLUDING OIL LIGHT OR ENGINE LIGHT. THE CAR, WHICH HAS BEEN SERVICED THROUGH THIS DEALERSHIP AND PURCHASED THROUGH THIS DEALERSHIP IS UNDRIVEABLE AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY AND HYUNDAI IS "NOW TIGHT IN THE PURSE" AND WON'T FIX ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS SINCE COVID. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS TYPE OF CIRCUMSTANCE WAS SEEN WITH THE ELANTRA, BUT NOT THE SANTA FE BEFORE. I AM ADVISED THAT THIS VEHICLE, WHICH IS THE THIRD HYUNDAI I HAVE PURCHASED AND STILL MAKE LOAN PAYMENTS ON IS NOW A LEMON AND I WOULD BE BETTER SUITED TO GET A NEW MOTOR FROM A JUNK YARD. I AM A FAMILY OF SIX PEOPLE AND JUST RECENTLY MOVED INTO A NEW HOME, SO HAVING AN UNUSABLE VEHICLE AND BEING ABLE TO FUND A NEW MOTOR IN WHAT WAS TOLD TO ME IS A QUALITY CAR IS NOT OK. DESPITE THIS, IT IS STILL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES OK THAT A VEHICLE LIKE THIS SHOULD HAVE A MOTOR JUST QUIT. ACCORDING TO ARTICLES ONLINE, I SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. THE MAN AT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT DISCUSS ANY FURTHER AND WILL OFFER VERY LITTLE INFORMATION. I AM AT AN UTTER LOSS. I HAVE BEEN A GOOD CUSTOMER. I HAVE A FAMILY. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP. PLEASE.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAD JUST MERGED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THAT ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLASHED AND THE VEHICLE HAD STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING STILL IN PARK. I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR ON IN PARK BUT IT WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO THE CAR ROLLED BACK WHILE STILL IN DRIVE. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE NEXT LIGHT WHERE THE CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY STILL IN DRIVE DURING ONCOMING TRAFFIC AGAIN. THE PASSENGER DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON PLACE THE CAR IN REVERSE INTO AN PARKING LOT WHERE I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK CAUSE THE CAR WOULD NEVER START BACK UP. WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE LOCKED UP ON AFTER HAVING SEVERAL MECHANICS LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND STILL TODAY I HAVE A CAR THAT I JUST PURCHASED IN MAY AND CAN'T DRIVE DUE TO THE ENGINE LOCKING UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON SERVICING HIS VEHICLE, HE DISCOVERED GREASE LEAKING FROM A STUB LOCATED BETWEEN THE RIGHT AXLE AND THE TRANSMISSION. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V355000 (POWER TRAIN) WHICH WAS LINKED TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT PERFORMED A VIN SEARCH WHICH SHOWED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED. THE CONTACT REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO FIRST INFORMED HIM THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

DRIVING TO WORK MY ENGINE STARTED HEATING UP AND ALL ELECTRONICS WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND I LOST SPEED CONTROL WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THERE IT STARTS TO MISSFIRE ALSO SEATBELT IS INSIDE OUT NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON DRIVER'S SIDE

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.

STARTED OUT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL HAVING A LOT OF PLAY AND SMALL CLICKING NOISES WITH SHARP TURNS, THIS HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. IF I GO OVER A SPEED BUMP OR EVEN SLIGHTLY ADJUST THE WHEEL IN STREET TRAFFIC THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND IN THE STEERING COLUMN. ON A SMALL HIGHWAY WHEN I ACCELERATE TO 65MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND JERKS BACK AND FORTH TO THE POINT OF NEARLY LOSING CONTROL AND THERE IS A CONSTANT CLICKING NOISE.I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM IS A PLASTIC COUPLER WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I DID MY OWN RESEARCH ON LINE AND I AM VERY UNSETTLED WITH WHAT I READ. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS ISSUE YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT CAN ONLY BE DONE AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND A RECALL ISSUED ASAP.

THE CAR WENT OF FIRE ON HIGHWAY

CHECK ENG LIGHT CAME ON FEW DAYS LATER, REPEATED DIP STICK CHECK =ADDED 3 MORE QUARTS OIL FEW DAYS LATER. REPEATED SEVERAL XS THROUGHOUT FEB 2020. PAID 3 SEPARATE MECHANICS ALL STATED INTERNAL OIL LEAK. 1 MECHANIC STATED HAD SEVERAL CUSTOMERS WITH SAME COMPLAINT. HE INFORMED ME CHECK WITH DEALER FOR 1 RECALL OR 2 EXTENDED WARRANTY & DUE TO OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. HE ESTIMATED APPROX $5K + TO REBUILD ENGINE, PISTON RINGS ISSUE. I CALLED DEALER ASKED COST FOR THEM TO CHECK WAS QUOTED MINI $139 TO START. WHEN THEY EMAILED APPOINTMENT CONFIRMATION, I CONFIRMED APPMT MAR 14, 2020 & ASKED 1. IF A RECALL EXISTED 2. IF EXTENDED WARRANTED COVERED IT. WHEN I GOT THERE TODAY I ASKED SAME 2 QUESTIONS & WAS TOLD TO PAY $42 FOR OIL CHANGE #1 TODAY & BRING CAR EVERY 1000 MILES 3 MORE TIMES FREE OF CHARGE SO THEY CAN TRACK INTERNAL OIL LEAK. WAS TOLD EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY WENT TO 120,000, MY CAR'S @ 125,600. I ASKED WHY I WASNT INFORMED OF THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY AS I RECEIVED LETTER LAST YEAR WHEN I BROUGHT CAR IN FOR COURTESY SOFTWARE UPDATE & 2018 ANOTHER COURTESY CHECK, THEY COULDNT EXPLAIN. I FEEL IF I DIDNT USE BUZZ WORDS 4T

STEERING WHEEL HAS TOO MUCH PLAY AND CLICKS WHEN MOVED IN EITHER DIRECTION. THIS HAPPENS WHEN FIRST TURNED. NOT A CONSTANT CLICKING SOUND, BUT RATHER A MECHANICAL CLICK INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN. PER RESEARCH, THIS IS APPARENTLY DUE TO A WELL-DOCUMENTED FAILURE OF A RUBBER OR PLASTIC COUPLER INSIDE THE ELECTRIC STEERING MODULE. DANGEROUS, AND A COSTLY REPAIR. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.
