2017 Hyundai Santa FE complaints

EVERYTIME I PUT IT IN DRIVE FROM A DEAD STOP IT WOULD JERK INTO SECOND AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN IT WOULD JERK AGAIN

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND MY OIL LIGHT INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON IN THE CAR AND WENT OFF AFTER I GOT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY PULLED OVER AT A GAS STATION. SO I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND AGAIN THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON SO I RECORDED IT ON MY CELL PHONE.I JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGED A WEEK PRIOR TO THIS. TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN MATTESON ILLINOIS WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM. AND GET ALL MY OIL CHANGES DONE ON THE VEHICLE. THEY CHECKED OUT MY VEHICLE AND SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T GET THE COMING ON WHEN THEY TOOK MY CAR ON A TEST DRIVE. SO I SHOW THE MECHANIC THE VIDEO I RECORDED ON MY PHONE. HE LOOKS AT THE VIDEO AND SAYS TO ME WELL IF THE OIL LIGHT COMES BACK ON BRING THE VEHICLE BACK. AND TELLS ME THE VEHICLE IS OK TO DRIVE AS IT IS. TWO DAYS LATER I'M RUNNING AN ARRON IN TRAFFIC ON A BUSY CITY STREET AND AS I'M DRIVING MY CAR STARTS JERKING AND STALLING AND A FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CALLED HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT. BECAUSE I WAS CLOSE BY THE DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE PERSONNEL TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SO I DID. THEY TOLD ME MY ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. FOR THE SECOND TIME MIND YOU. 1ST TIME WAS A YEAR PRIOR. SO THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND 2DAYS. GET MY CAR BACK A WEEK LATER I'M DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK AND THE FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. SO I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE KNOCK SENSOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REP

CAR SHIFTS ROUGH, MOSTLY INTO FIRST GEAR. AS THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED, IT HAS WORSENED AND ALSO SHIFTS ROUGH IN HIGHER GEARS.

THE ENGINE HAD BEEN BURNING UP THE OIL IN THE CAR. WE HAD A OIL CHANGE ON 11/30/20 AND THE CAR HAS 0 OIL AS OF TODAY. THE ENGINE MIGHT BE BLOWN. THE CAR ONLY HAS 88K MILES ON IT.

TAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO OUR DRIVEWAY ,THE VEHICLE HESITATED THEN SURGED AT A HIGH SPEED AND CRASHED INTO OUR HOME.BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED BUT COULD NOT STOP THE IMPACT.BELIEVE THE SURGE MAY BE RELATED TO THE TURBO ENGINE ACCELERATING.

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN 4 OR MORE TIMES BECAUSE THERE IS A SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. THIS WAS BOUGHT IN 2017 WITH 150 MILES, THE FIRST OCCUPANCY HAPPENED WITHIN MONTHS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY ENGINE WAS SENSITIVE AND NOT TO LET OTHERS DRIVE IT, TURN OFF THE CAR, OR THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ERROR. I TOOK MY CAR IN IN NOVEMBER 2020 AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS IN THE SHOP, THEY WERE FINALLY ABLE TO 'FIND' THE ISSUE. I GOT MY CAR BACK WITH A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION, MID-DECEMBER. THE DRIVE HOME WAS OKAY, BUT SINCE THEN THE ISSUE OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY. COMING TO A STOP, THE RPMS JUMP, TURNING, THE RPMS JUMP. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE 3/4 MILE DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT MY CAR JERKING AND JOLTING. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. SEVERAL CUSTOMERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME ISSUE IN THE PAST YEARS AND EVEN A LAWSUIT WAS BROUGHT UP, BUT THEN WAS DISMISSED. MY CAR VALUE HAS DROPPED ALMOST 50% BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I AM WITHOUT A CAR, STILL PAYING FOR MY LEASE, AND INSURANCE ON A CAR THAT DOES NOT SERVE ITS PROPER FUNCTION.

I HAVE HAD ON AT LEAST A HALF DOZEN TIMES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING, AND THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. FOR EXAMPLE: LEAVING A PARKING LOT GOING ONTO A ROADWAY ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY TO GET UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT. ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT AT A FLASHING RED LEFT TURN LANE TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL ABOUT 10-20', BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE, LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT ENGAGING. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL REV TO 4000-5000RPMS. I WILL QUICKLY LET OFF OF THE THROTTLE, THEN IT WILL TAKE OFF. THE ENGINE DOES NOT REV EVERY TIME. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A MODULE ON THE TRANSMISSION APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO, BUT IT DID NOT HELP. THEY HAD IT FOR ONE DAY IN JULY 2020, ATTEMPTING TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE WHERE THIS FAILURE TO ACCELERATE OCCURRED WAS 12/26/2020, WHERE UPON LEAVING A SERVICE STATION ONTO A FOUR LANE ROAD, IT ONCE AGAIN ROLLED TO 10-15 MPH, BUT WOULD NOT GO WHILE THE ENGINE RPMS WENT TO 4000. AS TRAFFIC WAS RAPIDLY APPROACHING I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE THROTTLE, AND IT FINALLY STARTED PICKING UP SPEED. THIS IS GETTING TO BE A DANGEROUS VEHICLE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS OWN A 2017 HYUNDAI SANT FE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A RUBBING AND FRICTION SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V578000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SYCAMORE HYUNDAI (1380 DEKALB AVENUE, SYCAMORE, IL 60178, (815) 895-4584) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND THERE WAS METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL FILTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. INVALID VIN.

MY VEHICLE WILL PERIODICALLY STALL WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP. VIN DOES NOT SHOW RECALLS, BUT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR OTHER 2017 SANTA FE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. MY VEHICLE WAS MADE IN 2017,THE RECALL WAS IN NOVEMBER 2017; THEREFORE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY VIN IS NOT SHOWING THAT A RECALL IS WARRANTED AS THE PARTS WOULD HAVE BEEN USED TO MAKE IT. THIS CAN LITERALLY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. I WILL ALSO BE CONTACTING HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCCARTHY OLATHE HYUNDAI (681 N RAWHIDE, OLATHE, KS 66061, (913) 324-7200) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SUN ROOF GLASS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, SUN ROOF FAILED TO CLOSE ONCE THE GLASS WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TILT LEVEL AND FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE CAR HAS ALWAYS RAN THROUGH OIL SINCE IT WAS FIRST PURCHASED, BUT RECENTLY THE CAR DEVELOPED A MAJOR OIL LEAK. IT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE. CHECKED SEALS OF OIL FILTER AND EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT OK.

THE V6 2017 SANTA FE SUV IS ADVERTISED IN MANY CAR MAGAZINES AND BY HYUNDAI TO TOW 5,000. LBS. I TOLD THE SALES MANAGER THE SPECS OF MY CAMPER. HE SAID IT WOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM TOWING MY CAMPER THAT WEIGHS 3,200. I SAID IF YOU GET IT PREPARED FOR TOWING, MEANING, HITCH, BRAKE BOX AND WIRE FOR LIGHTS, I WILL BUY IT. THE DEAL WAS MADE. I TOWED A FEW TIMES THEN HAD A BAD SHAKING IN THE REAR. THE SERVICE MANAGER TRIED TO TELL ME I WAS TOWING TOO MUCH WEIGHT. IMPOSSIBLE. IT'S JUST ME AND A SMALL DOG. I ARGUED WITH ALLEN TURNER HYUNDAI IN PENSACOLA, FL AND THE CORPORATE OFFICE. THEY BELIEVED WHAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID. I TOLD THEM I CAN GO WEIGH IT ALL ON DOT SCALES TO PROVE IT. SO THEY ENDED UP FIXING IT THAT TIME. I DIDN'T TOW FOR AWHILE BECAUSE OF COVID. THE FIRST TIME I DID, ON THE WAY HOME IT STARTED SHAKING. I GO TO THE DEALER. HE TOLD ME THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS SEPARATING INSIDE. IT WOULD NEED ALIGNMENT AND STRUTS. THEY WERE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR IT EVEN WITH THE CAR WITH LOW MILES STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY OFFERED ME SOMETHING OFF THEIR USED LOT. WHICH I CONSIDERED IF IT HAD THE SAFETY FEATURES THAT I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT ON MY SANTA FE. NO, THEY OFFERED A BASIC SMALL TRUCK. I'M OLDER AND I HAVE GOTTEN USED TO THE SAFETY FEATURES. THE SALESMAN TALKED DOWN TO ME, TRIED TO INTIMIDATE ME AND PRACTICALLY CALLED ME STUPID. I WAS SUPPOSED TO SEE THE SERVICE MANAGER BUT HE DISMISSED ME . I'VE BOUGHT THREE CARS FROM THIS DEALER USING THE SAME SALESMAN. THEN WHEN I HAVE A PR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT 2.0T TO ENTER THE FREEWAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY. IT STARTED TO SHAKE AND FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WAS "MISFIRING" AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO GET UP TO 60MPH. I TRIED TAKING MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR AND PRESSING IT AGAIN BUT IT WOULD ONLY LOSE SPEED AND THEN I'D HAVE TO WORK MY WAY UP TO 60 MPH. I WAS TRAVELLING STRAIGHT AND ON A FLAT ROAD. ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN FOOT WAS ON ACCELERATOR, THEN IT WENT OFF. ONCE I WAS OFF THE FREEWAY AND TRIED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN FROM A STOP, CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE GOING UP THE INCLINE AND THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT MY TAIL END. FINALLY,I TURNED LEFT TO GO UP THE HILL TOWARD MY HOUSE, I COULD ONLY GET UP TO 15 MPH BUT RPMS WERE BETWEEN 3500-4000. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC BEHIND ME BUT I WAS AFRAID I WASN'T GOING TO MAKE IT UP THE STREET OR THAT SOME CAR WOULD COME UP BEHIND ME AND MY CAR WOULD STOP. IN ORDER FOR A CAR TO BE SAFE IT NEEDS TO BE RELIABLE IN ACCELERATION AS MUCH AS BRAKING AND STEERING! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY IN THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED TWICE DUE TO BEING DAMAGED BY ROCKS. THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED AT HER RESIDENCE BY SAFELITE AUTO GLASS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,271.

DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP SIGN/RED LIGHT OR TURNING THE ENGINE HESITATES FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS AFTER SEVERAL TRIES BEFORE REACHING DESIRED SPEED. WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL ON FREEWAYS THERE IS A 10 TO 15 SECOND DELAY WHEN ACCELERATING OR PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH IN ONE INSTANCE CAUSED A NEAR ACCIDENT ON A HIGH SPEED FREEWAY. MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN CAUSING OTHER VEHICLES GO AROUND ME PASSING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE LANE. THESE HESITATIONS HAVE CAUSED ME SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS AND MAKES ME NOT FEEL CONFIDENT WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MANY OCCASIONS AND THEY REPORT NO ERROR CODES SHOW UP AND, THE MECHANIC CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION EARLIER THIS YEAR. THERE HAS BEEN NO IMPROVEMENT. I HAVE REVIEWED MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS HESITATION PROBLEM. WILL IT TAKE DEATH REPORTS TO HELP US OWNERS? MY ISSUE BEGAN IN 2018 RIGHT AFTER PURCHASE AND THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MORE OFTEN NOW. NO HELP IS IN SIGHT WHEN HYUNDAI AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ADMIT THE PROBLEM AND MAKES ME AND OTHER OWNERS FEEL LIKE WE DON'T KNOW OUR VEHICLES OR OUR OWN MINDS!! WE NEED HELP BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS NOT AFTER!!

THIS VEHICLE HAS A INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION PROBLEM WHICH CAUSES A DELAY IN THE VEHICLE MOVEMENT. THE DEALER STATED THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM HOWEVER THE ISSUE DOES EXIST. MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I READ ON LINE.

BEEN LOSING OIL INBETWEEN OIL CHANGES AS DOCUMENTED BY FACILITIES THAT CHANGED IT AND NOTHING WAS SAID BY DEALER WHEN I ASKED IF IT WAS A PROBLEM AT THE MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE. TODAY MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND BLEW AND WAS BONE DRY. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT STOPPED ACCELERATING AND KNOCKING. I HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP.

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.

VEHICLE LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL POWER, DESPITE HAVING A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED BY DEALER. BATTERY RUNS DOWN, SOMETIMES OVERNIGHT. DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY ISSUES, THOUGH SOMETHING CLEARLY IS DRAINING BATTERY POWER VERY QUICKLY. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS. VEHICLE IS OPERATED OFTEN ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE SUCH BATTERY DRAINAGE. I AM BRINGING IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN ON 11 JUNE, AS THIS OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY (9 JUNE). I PURCHASED A PORTABLE MACHINE THAT JUMPS THE CAR BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS SO OFTEN. MY SPOUSE IS THE PRIMARY OPERATOR OF THIS VEHICLE AND I FEAR THAT THE ELECTRICAL WILL FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY AND POSE A SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW OR A LEMON! *TR

WHEN ACCELERATING, MY VEHICLE HESITATES PRESENTING A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS OR MAKING LANE CHANGES. COULD ABSOLUTELY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY THE RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED. ALSO WHEN TURNING, HESITATES WHEN SPEEDING UP AFTER THE TURN. SAME WITH STOPS.

BAD HESITATION PROBLEM MANY TIMES AS FOUR TIMES A DAY WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS THERE'S NOTHING SOMETIMES LUNGING FORWARD ALMOST GETTING HIT BY ON COMING CAR BEEN THIS WAY SINCE I PURCHASED IN 2018 HAD IN THE SHOP TWICE CANT FIND ANYTHING BECAUSE NO CODES SHAME MECHANIC CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THERE ARE CODES. VERY DANGEROUS LITERALLY 1000 OF COMPLAINS ON THE INTERNET SINCE 2016 SINCE SUV WAS MANUFACTURED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WOULD OVER STEER. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB BELL FORD LOCATED AT (7125 RITCHIE HWY, GLEN BURNIE, MD 21061) AND WAS DIAGNOSED BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000.

THE OIL LIGHT BEGAN FLICKERING ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. MECHANIC FOUND THAT REAR SEAL BROKE, CAUSING FLUID TO SLOWLY DRIP. HOWEVER, OIL WAS CHECKED AND STILL FULL. I REPLACED THE REAR SEAL, BUT OIL LIGHT CONTINUED FLASHING ON AND OFF. THERE WAS METALLIC DEBRIS FOUND INSIDE THE OIL. COME TO FIND OUT THE ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOWED TO MILLER HYUNDAI LOCATED AT (4455 VESTAL PKWY E, VESTAL, NY 13850) WHERE UNKNOWN REPAIRS WERE PROVIDED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED MINIMAL MONETARY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,792.

1. STEERING= STICKING STEERING AND PROBLEMS KEEPING CAR STRAIGHT. DRIVING 2. NO WARNING CHIME FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN DRIVING

GO THROUGH CAR WASH MUST HAVE UNDER BODY SPRAYED TYPE OF CAR WASH . I LEAVE P1326 CODE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE ALREADY HAD WIRE HARNESS REPLACED BY DEALER. DIDN'T CORRELATE CAR WASH UNTIL I RECALLED GETTING SAME ONE FIRST DAY IT OCCURRED WHEN I BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR. KNOCK SENSOR HARNESS WHEN I CLEAR CODE GOES AWAY. LOTS OF PEOPLE SEEING IT HAPPEN DRIVING IN RAIN VERY DANGEROUS REDUCTION IN SPEED TAKES FOREVER TO ACCELERATE WHEN HITS NEW GEAR DANGEROUS.

MY 2018 HYUNDAI SANTE FE WAS PURCHASE 'CERTIFIED' USED FROM PUENTE HILLS HYUNDAI IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. ABOUT A YEAR INTO OWNING MY CAR IT BEGAN TO JERK AND FELT LIKE I WENT OVER A HARD BUMP WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AND THEN BEGAN DOING IT WHILE I WOULD DRIVE UP HILLS. PUENTE HILLS HYUNDAI INFORMED ME THERE WAS A RECALL AND THAT THE RECALL WOULD 'SOLVE' THE ISSUE. AFTER I GOT MY CAR BACK, A FEW WEEKS LATER IT STARTED AGAIN. BUT HAPPENED LESS OFTEN THEN BEFORE. I RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR IN AND WAS TOLD THAT PUENTE HILLS HYUNDAI WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE JERKING AND WOULD CALL THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY TO HAVE THEM COME CONFIRM THE ISSUE. WHEN THE WARRANTY COMPANY FINALLY CAME OUT, THEY UNSUCCESSFULLY RECREATING THE JERKING SOUND AND TOLD HYUNDAI MY CAR IS 'SAFE' TO DRIVE AND NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. HYUNDAI TRIED TO TELL ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK SINCE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THE ISSUE SINCE THE WARRANTY COMPANY SAID IT WAS 'SAFE'. I REFUSED TO TAKE IT BACK DUE MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY UNBORN CHILD AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD KEEP IT AGAIN TO SEE IF THEY CAN RECREATE THE JERKING AND THEN CONTACT HYUNDAI DIRECTLY TO SEE IF THEY'LL COME CHECK IT OUT. BUT WASN'T GUARANTEED THAT THEY WOULD FIX AND OR BE ABLE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND SEEN THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE OWNING THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND HAVE COMPLAINED TO YOU GUYS AND WAS HOPING THAT MY COMPLAINT WILL BE HONORED MORE THAN IT HAS BEEN AT THIS DEALERSHIP. TH

ON THE INTERSTATE, PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES. RPM WENT UP TO 5000 BUT SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO SPORTS MODE AND DOWNSHIFTING AND UPSHIFTING MADE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. SPEED REMAINED THE SAME, ENGINE ROARED AS IF IN NEUTRAL. I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE, CUT OFF THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, RETURNED TO THE INTERSTATE AND COULD ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN 2017 AND 2018 BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. IN 2018, TAKEN TO PEARSON HYUNDAI AND COULD NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE NO ERROR CODES. AFTER A DANGEROUS, IDENTICAL INCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE IN MAY 2019, TAKEN TO PEARSON HYUNDAI. THEY PERFORMED A TCU AND ECU SOFTWARE UPDATE MAY 21, 2019. THIS LATEST INCIDENT IS A REPEAT OF THE MAY 2019 PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE BUT OCCURS ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND STREET SPEEDS. THE INABILITY TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WE ALSO OWN A 2016 SANTA FE SPORT TURBO AWD THAT HAS NOT HAD ANY OF THESE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. CHANGES WERE MADE IN THE 2017 MODEL YEAR TO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION THAT ARE IMPACTING ACCELERATION.

THERE HAS BEEN SOME ENGINE NOISE FOR 2 MONTHS OR SO. . I THEN HAD AN OIL LEAK AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THE ENGINE NOISE WAS FROM CRANKSHAFT AND MAYBE A BEARING INSIDE. I HAVE 74, 000 MILES ON VEHICLE AND HAVE A 10 YEAR 125000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS AT THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY GAVE ME THE NEWS ABOUT MAYBE CRANKSHAFT BEARING. THE HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY HAS A RECALL ON YOUR SITE ABOUT 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE HAVING DEFECT IN A PIN IN THE CRANKSHAFT THAT WEARS THE BEARING. THIS SEEMS LIKE EXACTLY WHAT DEALER IS TELLING ME. MY QUESTION IS , THE RECALL SAYS THAT HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY RECALLED 420 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE'S THAT WERE PRODUCED BETWEEN JANUARY 26 2017 AND FEBRUARY 13 2017. MY SANTA FE WAS ACTUALLY PRODUCED ON JANUARY 14 2017, WHICH IS ONLY 12 DAYS PRIOR TO THE START OF THE OFFICIAL RECALL PRODUCTION DATE OF JANUARY 26. HOW DOES HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY KNOW THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PRODUCED WITH THIS FAULTY PIN IN THE CRANKSHAFT THAT CAUSES BEARING FAILURE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS WEBSITE AND I HOPE SOMEONE CAN ENLIGHTEN ME AS TO WHAT I MAY BE ABLE TO DO RIGHT NOW.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE I HEARD A POP AND LOOKED AT MY REARVIEW MIRROR, MY REAR WINDOW HAD EXPLODED OUT. NOTHING WAS NEAR TO HIT IT FROM INSIDE.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON JUST BEFORE THE 60K MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED TO BRING IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY SAID IT JUST NEEDED TO BE RESET. WELL, AT JUST OVER 62K MILES, IT CAME BACK ON THIS MORNING. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATES IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ACROSS HYUNDAI'S ENTIRE FLEET OF VEHICLES. HOW HAS THIS NOT ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED?! I HAVE 4 KIDS AND CANNOT TAKE THE CHANCE OF THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING.

WHEN I DRIVE GOING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 40 TO 48 MPH ON ECO MODE OR ANY DRIVE MODE THE CAR JUMPS/ JERKS LIKE IT SHIFTS INTO A LOW GEAR AND THEN GOES BACK INTO A HIGH GEAR WITH NO HEAVY ACCELERATION. IF I HAVE IT ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 45MPH IT WILL KICK BACK AND FORTH OCCASIONALLY AS IF I WAS SLAMMING ON THE GAS PEDAL THEN SLIGHTLY ON THE BREAK BUT QUICKLY.

CURRENTLY 42K MILES, "STICKY STEERING WHEEL" OR "ZIG-ZAG" PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 10K MILES AGO. DEALER SERVICE TECHS I'VE DEALT WITH SEEM TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. AFTER VERIFYING THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS REALLY EXPERIENCING THE ZIG-ZAG PROBLEM, I LIFTED THE FRONT OF HER CAR SO THAT BOTH FRONT WHEELS WERE OFF THE GROUND. WITH THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING, SLOWLY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL RIGHT AND LEFT WOULD REVEAL THE "STICKY" SYMPTOM, WHICH IS ACTUALLY AT SOME POINT THE STEERING WHEEL HANGS FOR SOME REASON AND THEN IT TAKES INCREASINGLY MORE TORQUE APPLIED TO THE STEERING WHEEL UNTIL IT BREAKS FREE. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE RESULT WOULD BE A SUDDEN CHANGE OF DIRECTION. THIS BEHAVIOR IN THE STEERING SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER OCCUR, BUT SHOULD BE SILKY SMOOTH LOCK TO LOCK. THE ATTACHED IMAGE SHOWS THE SYSTEM FROM THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CONNECTING SHAFT. I HAVE READ REPORTS THAT THE U-JOINTS IN THE CONNECTING SHAFT ARE THE PROBLEM, OR THAT THE MDPS (MOTOR DRIVEN POWER STEERING) UNIT IS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. IF I WERE WORKING THIS PROBLEM, I WOULD DISCONNECT THE UPPER U-JOINT AND RERUN THE STEERING WHEEL TEST. IF THE HANGING PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE, THEN THE MDPS UNIT (OR PERHAPS THE STAR SHAPED COUPLING WITHIN THE MDPS) SHOULD BE REPLACED. OTHERWISE, THE COUPLING SHAFT SHOULD BE INSPECTED FOR BINDING OF THE U-JOINTS. IF THE JOINTS ARE STICKING, THEN A REPLACEMENT SHAFT IS IN ORDER. IF NEITHER THE MDPS UNIT NOR COUPLING SHAFT ARE AT FAULT

WHILE DRIVING (VEHICLE IN MOTION) THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO STICK REQUIRING ME TO EXERT EXTRA FORCE TO "BREAK" IT LOOSE IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CAR TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. I KNOW IT ISN'T MECHANICAL STEARING LIKE I'M USED TO BUT THE SERVO MOTOR SEEMS TO PREVENT ME FROM TURNING THE WHEEL WHEN I NEED TO CORRECT. I CONTINUOUSLY HAVE TO OVERCORRECT FOR THE STICKING/NOTCHY STEERING. VERY ANNOYING AND TIRING AND COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS. FOUND SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS ON THIS SITE WHO IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I TOTALLY AGREE THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS ELECTRONIC DRIVE-BY-WIRE STEERING MECHANISM. LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID, PLEASE LET HYUNDAI KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE. I NOTICE THIS MOSTLY WHILE DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND I'M EXPERIENCING THE STEERING ISSUE MORE AND MORE NOW. IF MOST DRIVERS ARE NOT TRULY PAYING ATTENTION TO THERE DRIVING AND THIS STICKING THIS WILL LEAD TO CRASHES AND DEATHS.

WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS, MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPS ACCELERATING FOR A FEW SECONDS. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN EITHER THE CAR IS STOPPED AND THEN I GO TO TURN, OR TURNING AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED AROUND A CORNER. WHEN I PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GO, IT TAKES OFF ABRUPTLY OR WITH A SURGE. THIS IS CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY IF A CAR IS FOLLOWING BEHIND ME. I ALSO NOTICE IT WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT, GOING STRAIGHT ALSO BUT NOT NEARLY AS MUCH AS WHEN I AM MAKING A TURN.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, AND WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I'LL EXPERIENCE A 1-2 SECOND DELAY OR HESITATION, BEFORE THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION ENGAGE. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR MOSTLY WHEN THE WHEELS ARE IN A TURNED POSITION. IT CAN BE A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AT AN INTERSECTION, WITH NO POWER. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY A DOZEN TIMES.

NOTCHY STEERING, FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS, REQUIRING YOU TO USE ADDITIONAL FORCE TO TURN THE WHEEL. THIS CAUSES OVER-CORRECTING WITH THE POTENTIAL TO SWERVING INTO OTHER LANES OR OFF THE ROAD.

ON DEC 5, 2019 AT 7:50 AM, I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO TURN WEST AT A CITY INTERSECTION. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I ACCELERATED AND DROVE TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, SO I CONTINUED AND WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN I GOT HIT BY 2018 FORD ESCAPE. THE DRIVER RAN THE RED LIGHT AND HIT MY VEHICLE IN THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE QUARTER PANEL, CAUSING VISIBLE DAMAGE TO MY FENDER, WHEEL, PANEL AND BUMPER (MORE DAMAGE WILL BE DETERMINED BY INSURANCE ADJUSTER). THE IMPACT WAS SO HARD THAT IT MOVED MY CAR, PUSHING THE FRONT END OF MY CAR TOWARDS EAST OF THE INTERSECTION. I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN AND MY DOG IN THE CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AT ALL. THE OTHER VEHICLE HIT US HEAD ON AND THEIR AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY. MY HEAD AND UPPER BODY SLAMMED INTO THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. EVERYONE IN MY CAR HAD THEIR SEATBELT ON AND MY DOG WAS TIED, BY HIS LEASH, TO AN ANCHOR IN THE BACK. THE IMPACT TO MY HEAD WAS SO HARD, I WENT TO THE ER AND THEY DID A CT SCAN TO MAKE SURE THERE WERE NO FRACTURES OR BLEEDING. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CONCUSSION DUE TO THE IMPACT. I AM ATTACHING PHOTOS OF THE SCENE AND THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED A USED 2017 SANTA FE AWD ON 11/06/2019. THE CAR FAILED TO START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT AT A GAS STATION -- THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. IT STARTED ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT, THE CAR DROVE SMOOTHLY TO THE DMV FOR REGISTRATION. ABOUT 1-2 HOURS OF DRIVING, THE CAR STALLED IN TOWN DESPITE ACCELERATING WITH RPMS GREATER 3. THE CAR BECAME RESPONSIVE ONLY AFTER STOPPING AND RESTARTING AT THE CURB. I NOTICED A STEADY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER THE INCIDENT AND HAVE BEEN HAVING A JERKY RIDE EXPERIENCE EVER SINCE. A CALL TO BLUELINK CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR REQUIRES A THOROUGH SYSTEM CHECK INVOLVING THE POWER TRAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP. AN APPOINTMENT HAS BEEN FOR 12/4/2019 AND THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED.

WHEN GOING SLOW AROUND CORNERS AND GIVING THE CAR GAS THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE GIVING IT GAS THE CAR ACCELERATES VERY FAST. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT IT HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT SLOW SPEEDS ONLY.

OIL IS VANISHING FROM THE VEHICLE. FOR EVERY 1000 MILES THERE IS A PINT OF OIL MISSING FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE HYUNDAI MUTIPLE TIMES. HYUNDAI CAN NOT FIND ANY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS CONCERING BECUASE THE VEHICLE CAN BREAK DOWN ON A LONG ROAD TRIP WITHOUT CONSANT OIL CHECKS AND REFILLING DURING THE TRIP. HYUNDAI HAS YET TO REPLACE THE MOTOR OR RESOLVE THE ISSUE. NO OIL LEAK LOCATED IT APPEARS THE OIL IS JUST GOING MISSING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

THERE IS A LEAK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE COMING FROM UNKNOWN DEFECT. EVERY TIME IT RAINS, WATER DRIPS FROM UNDER THE DASH TO THE FLOOR CLOSE TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN AND REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE ENGINE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE RPMS DRASTICALLY REDUCED AND FAILED TO INCREASE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ROUTE 2 HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 743 NORTH MAIN STREET, LEOMINSTER, MA 01453, 978-534-999) WHERE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE REPAIR SPECIFICS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

ON MARCH , 19 2019 AROUND 5:00AM I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK LIKE NORMAL. AS I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAD NO POWER STEERING BUT I COASTED TO A STOP IN THE RIGHT LANE OF FREEWAY TURNED MY CAR BACK ON AND DROVE ABOUT 500 FEET AND THE SAME THING HAPPEN BUT THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. I HAD AAA TOW MY CAR TO THEIR SHOP. 3/20/2019 AAA TOW MY CAR TO CARDINALEWAY HYUNDAI 2525 WARDLOW ROAD CORONA, CA 92882 SERVICE: (951) 271-3333 5/13/2019 - [X] I ACCEPT HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA'S GOODWILL OFFER OF COVERING THE OF PARTS AND YOU COVERING THE LABOR $1,100.00 JORDAN NATIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS ‪ (714) 965-3976‬ HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA 9/16/2019 - NEW ENGINE IS INSTALLED | CAR IS READY | I I PAY THE THE 1,100.00 AND PICK UP MY CAR. 9/17/2019 - BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO DEALER.

WHILE TURNING RIGHT OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A TWO LANE ROAD, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING FOR 3-5 SECONDS AS A TRUCK WAS BEARING DOWN ON US. THE POSITION OF THE GAS PEDAL MADE NO DIFFERENCE. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AT AN IDLE WITH ZERO RESPONSE FROM PEDAL INPUT. WHEN IT DID FINALLY ACCELERATE, IT LURCHED FORWARD AS THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. WE ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING WHAT COULD BE DESCRIBED AS A SHUDDER WHEN DECELERATING TO A STOP. IT TYPICALLY SEEMS TO OCCUR BETWEEN 20-12 MPH. IT FEELS AS IF THE ENGINE IS STUMBLING OR IT IS HAVING TROUBLE DOWNSHIFTING SMOOTHLY.

OVER ONE MONTH AGO, MY GPS VIEWER SHOWED A WRONG TIME. I RESET THE CLOCK AND EXITED THE FEATURE. THE CLOCK QUIT APPEARING ON THE SCREEN. AT FIRST I DIDN'T NOTICE IT. THEN WHEN I DID, I WASN'T ABLE TO ENTER THE PROGRAM TO SET THE CLOCK: IT WAS ALL DARK ON THE CHOICES. I READ BOTH MY MANUALS AND NOTHING IN THEM TALKED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I HAD SEVERAL FRIENDS READ THE MANUAL AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION TO FIX THIS EITHER. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND HAVE IT FIXED AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS. THE SECOND TIME I CAME TO THE DEALER, THE TECHNICIAN ORDERED THE WHOLE HEAD UNIT AND THEY SAID I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE ORDER. IT'S ABOUT 4-5 WEEKS NOW AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. I CALLED LAST WEEK AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO ETA FOR IT. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.

I HAD SEVERAL FRIENDS READ THE MANUAL AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION TO FIX THIS EITHER. WHEN I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS ISSUE WAS AFFECTING LOTS OF VEHICLES AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A COUPLE OF THINGS THEY COULD DO TO ATTEMPT TO FIX IT. SOMETIMES IT WORKED AND SOMETIMES IT DIDN'T. MINE DIDN'T. NO ONE CONTACTED ME TO ALERT ME TO THE PROBLEM (SAID MAYBE A CELL TOWER ISSUE WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALERS). I HAVE TO ACCESS MY FITBIT TO GET THE TIME WHICH REQUIRES SQUEEZING THE SIDES OF IT AND SOMETIMES SCROLLING IT. NOT SUPPOSE TO USE YOUR CELL PHONE FOR SAFETY, BUT MESSING WITH MY FITBIT UNDER MY JACKET IS JUST AS BAD. WHY WEREN'T WE NOTIFIED. GOOGLE SHOWS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME NOW. I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN AND MAY NOT BE USING CORRECT TERMS FOR THE GPS STUFF. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR EYES AREN'T ON THE ROAD AS THEY SHOULD BE AND MESSING WITH YOUR FITBIT. YES I CAN INVEST IN A WATCH AGAIN, BUT WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO DO THIS? DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM DRIVING OR STATIONARY, IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD WHILE PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS PRESENT, EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE, AND STATED THAT THE FIRE INITIATED AROUND THE BATTERY AREA. A FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT A NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED A WEEK PRIOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I WAS DRIVING FROM KELLOGG, MN TO WINONA, MN AND I STOPPED AT LARK TOYS. WHILE JOINING MN HIGHWAY 61, TURNING RIGHT I HAD TO ACCELERATE. I WAS IN SPORT MODE AND VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND ALMOST STOPPED. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, I HAD MY 17 MONTH KID AND MY WIFE IN THE CAR. CAR AFTER THAT GAVE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WARNING AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I CHANGED TO ECO MODE AND THEN IT SLOWLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE, BUT AT ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR IT JERKED AGAIN, BUT I PRESSED ACCELERATE HARD AND IT SUSTAINED SPEED. BUT IT WONT GO OVER 65 MILES AN HOUR. I SLOWLY MADE IT HOME. BUT I TRIED TO DRIVE AGAIN AND SAME ISSUE. CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND THEY REFUSED TO ROCHESTER AS IT IS 46 MILES AND THEY ONLY SUPPORT 20 MILES OR LESS TOW. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURE WARRANTY AND YET WORST SERVICE. I ALMOST GOT KILLED TODAY WITH MY 17 MONTH TODDLER

WHILE IN MOTION THE VEHICLE EITHER BRAKES OR BACKFIRES. THE JERKING MOTION IS SO HARD THAT I THOUGHT I WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. THE CAR CONTINUES TO DRIVE BUT ACCELERATION RATE SLOWS DRASTICALLY CAUSING NEAR MISSES AS WELL. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND DOWNHILL SHIFTING LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON UNTIL YOU TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON. SO FAR THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN BOTH NORMAL AND ECONOMY DRIVE MODES WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE/HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 50 AND 70 MPH.
