2017 Hyundai Santa FE complaints

THERE IS A FEW SECONDS OF HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT TIMES. FROM A DEAD STOP OR A SLOW ROLL WHEN TURNING, THE CAR WILL MOVE IN SLOW MOTION ONLY AND THE ANTI SLIP INDICATOR COMES ON LIKE YOU ARE ON A SLIPPERY SURFACE EVEN WHEN IT'S DRY. THEN IT ACCELERATES SUDDENLY. WE HAVE COME CLOSE TO HAVING SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR VEHICLE IN OVER 5 TIMES AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AT TWO DEALERSHIPS SAY THEY CANNOT REPLICATE IT AND BRUSH US OFF. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING ON ROAD. ENGINE KNOCKING. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS TO WARN ME THAT SOMETHING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. ENGINE FILLED WITH SLUDGE EVEN WITH OIL CHANGES. ENGINE KNOCKING AND FAILED.

WRONG TIRE PRESSURE READING

ON MARCH , 19 2019 AROUND 5:00AM I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK LIKE NORMAL. AS I WAS GETTING ON THE 60 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.

THE VEHICLE SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD FROM A STOP AND WHEN IN LOWER GEARS IN MOTION. YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR TO GO AND IT SLOWLY RESPONDS AND THEN IT SHIFTS VIOLENTLY SOUNDING LIKE SOMETHING FELL OFF THE BOTTOM OF VEHICLE AND JERKS THE WHOLE VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS INSIDE. VEHICLES BEHIND US COME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING US WHEN THIS OCCURS AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT MOVED YET AS NORMALLY EXPECTED.

WHILE DRIVING WESTBOUND ON I-80 ON SUNDAY, JUNE 2, 2019, AT 2:33 PM THE FRONT PORTION OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED WITH THE SOUND OF A 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN. THE GLASS WENT FLYING AND CAME INTO THE VEHICLE. NO PRIOR DAMAGE TO THE SUN ROOF AND THE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS 64 DEGREES. WE WERE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH.

MY CAR WOULDN'T START HAD MY CAR FOR SERVICE. I WAS CHARGED A SERVICE FEE WHICH THEY WOULD TELL ME WHATS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I WAS ONLY TOLD THE BATTERY WAS AN ISSUE. THAT WAS REPLACE. THE PERSON WHO ATTEND ME DID NOT TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT GETTING AN OIL CHANGE OR ANY OTHER PROBLEMS IN FEBRUARY. WENT BACK IN APRIL BECAUSE MY CAR STOP RUNNING TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WENT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER I NOT FIX CARS SO WHEN I GET SERVIVE FOR THE VEHICLE. I WOULD THINK SOMEONE WOULD TELL ME OTHERWISE BUT NO. I TOKE IT BACK I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE DOESNT HAVE WARRANTY. THAT IT EXPIRED BUT IN THE SYSTEM THERE WAS NO WARRANTY EVEN RECORDED. NOW I AM STUCK WITH HARASSMENT CALLS ABOUT A VEHICLE I NO LONGER HAVE DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE. I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE LAST YEAR IN JUNE 2019. I DIDNT HAVE THE CAR FOR THEN A YEAR.

MY CAR JUST TURNED OFF. WHILE I WAS DRIVING UNDER 15 MILES, IT TURNED OFF, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3!TIMES SINCE I GOT THE CAR. THE SEATBELT IN THE 2ND ROW BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT SOMETIMES DOESN'T WANT TO LOCK. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEMS SO THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I SPOKE TO THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE AND SENT EMAILS AND NO ONE CAN FIX THE ISSUES.

ON HIGHWAY AND ENGINE SUDDENLY DECELERATES, NO THROTTLE RESPONSE, WON'T GO OVER 40 MPH, ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS. IN FOR SERVICE 2 TIMES IN 2 DAYS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. SERVICE TELLING ME IT IS THE KNOCK SENSOR OR WIRING. CAR HAS ONLY 7950 MILES. CAMPAIGN #953 RECALL DONE AT 7400 MILE

CAN WAS SITTING FROM 7:00 PM ON 5/2 AND WE WOKE TO FULL ON FIRE FROM REAR OF VEHICLE AT 4:50 AM ON 5/3 - FIRE CO BELIEVES ELECTRICAL

I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ON TO A STREET GOING UPHILL AND MY 2017 HYUNDAI SANTE FE SPORT AWD ULTIMATE HESITATED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS. WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS I COULD NOT GET SPEED. MY TRACTION LIGHTS BLINKED ON AND OFF. I HAD TO FLOOR THE GAS TO GAIN SPEED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I COULD HAVE BEEN T- BONED OR HIT FROM BEHIND IF THERE WAS TRAFFIC ON THE STREET.

STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO GET HARD LIKE STICKY WHEN TURN IT OVER RIGHT OR LEFT, NEEDING MORE POWER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND PUTTING ME IN RISK WHEN REACH 60 MILES PER HOUR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT MADE AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING SOUND. THE SEAT LEANED TOWARDS THE CONSOLE AND SQUEAKED NONSTOP WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAPLETON HYUNDAI (649 DUNN RD, HAZELWOOD, MO 63042, (314) 548-0956) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED; HOWEVER, AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,747.

TL* THE CONTACT'S CLIENT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT WAS A LAWYER AND STATED THAT HIS CLIENT'S VEHICLE STALLED. THE CLIENT ATTEMPTED TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, BUT COULD NOT ENTER THE ONRAMP BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE ROAD SHOULDER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DANBURY HYUNDAI (102 FEDERAL RD, DANBURY, CT 06810, (203) 730-4700) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW IF HIS CLIENT'S VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BECAUSE THE MECHANIC DID NOT PROVIDE A STRAIGHT ANSWER. THE CONTACT'S CLIENT WAS INSTRUCTED BY THE LAWYER NOT TO RETRIEVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THERE WAS CONFIRMATION THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE MANAGER WAS ASSIGNED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

ENGINE STARTING MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE. BROUGHT INTO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT HAD COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO BROKEN BEARING AND I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE. DENIED REQUEST THROUGH WARRANTY. ONLY AROUND 43000 MILES ARE ON THE CAR. HYUNDAI INFORMED ME IT WAS DENIED DUE TO OIL NOT BEING CHANGED PROPERLY AS EVIDENCED BY TWO AREAS OF SLUDGE ON THE INSIDE OF THE HOOD OF THE ENGINE. SERVICE RECORDS BROUGHT TO HYUNDAI SHOWING OIL WAS CHANGED WITHIN THE 7500 MILE AS INDICATED ON HYUNDAI'S WEBSITE AND OWNERS MANUEL.

CARBON MONOXIDE INSIDE THE CABIN WHEN TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY ABOUT 70 MILES AN HOUR

NAVIGATION SCREEN DOES NOT TURN OFF AFTER THE IGNITION IS TURNED CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN AND CAR WILL NOT START

KNOCKING NOISE UNDERNEATH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE I AM DRIVING AND MY CAR IS CHANGING GEARS, IT DOES FINE UNTIL ITS IN FOURTH GEAR. THE RPM WILL GO TO ABOUT 2,800 UNTIL IT CHANGES TO FIFTH GEAR. ONVE ITS IN 5TH GEAR THE RPM WILL GO INTO A "NEUTRAL" STATE AND REV FROM 4,700 RPM TO 5,700 WITHOUT ANY ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING UP A FREEWAY ENTRANCE . I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3X NOW AND ALL THEY KEEP SAYING IS THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS AN UPDATE. AND THE ADAPTIVE VALUES NEED TO BE RE- LEARNED. I HAVE NOW HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUID FILLED ONCE AND THEN I PAID TO GET A TRANNY FLUSH. AND ADADPTIVE VALUES RESET TWICE. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I HAVE 38,000 MILES AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT THE LAST 15,000 MILES.

CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED TURNING RIGHT FROM A STOP SIGN, WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD. ALL ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER SHUT DOWN, ENGINE CUT OFF. RESTARTED BUT ENGINE SPUTTERS, FEELS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS WHILE STILL IN PARK. IT WAS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. WAS NOT ABLE TO GET STARTED TO DRIVE HOME. ONE WEEK EARLIER I NOTICED THE COMPUTER ACTING UP WHEN I FIRST STARTED UP, BUT RESTATED AND DROVE ANYWAY (NO PROBLEM THAT TIME WHILE DRIVING).

I PARKED MY CAR PARALLEL TO THE CURB ON A CITY STREET. I MOVED THE SHIFTER FROM "DRIVE" TO "PARK". I DID NOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE BECAUSE I WAS ONLY GOING TO GET OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS TO OPEN THE DOOR BEHIND ME TO LET SOME SENIOR CITIZENS TO GET IN THE CAR. I RELEASED MY SEAT BELT BUCKLE AND PROCEED TO OPEN THE DRIVER-SIDE CAR DOOR. AS SOON AS MY FEET WERE ON THE GROUND AND MY BODY WAS OUTSIDE OF THE CAR, THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE IN REVERSE DIRECTION. THE CAR WAS MOVING FAIRLY QUICKLY BECAUSE WITHIN A SPLIT SECOND, I WAS KNOCKED TO THE GROUND BY THE CAR DOOR WITH THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL ON TOP OF MY LEFT FOOT. THE WHEEL PROCEEDED TO ROLL OVER MY LEFT ANKLE, LEG, THIGH, HIP, ABDOMEN, CHEST, AND FINALLY MY RIGHT UPPER ARM AND SHOULDER JOINT. THE CAR CONTINUED TO TRAVEL IN REVERSE BY JUMPING THE CURB ONTO THE SIDE WALK AND FINALLY STOPPED BY HEAVY BUSHES IN FRONT OF A BUILDING. UPON INSPECTION, THE SHIFTER HAD SLIPPED INTO THE "REVERSE" POSITION. BASED ON THE GRADIENT OF THE ROAD SERVICE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE REMOVAL OF MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY ALLOWED THE CAR TO MOVE BACKWARD HAD THE SHIFTER WAS IN REVERSE WHICH WOULD MAKE EXITING MY WHOLE BODY OUT OF THE CAR WITHOUT NOTICING CAR MOVEMENT VERY UNLIKELY IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, PARTICULARLY FOR A 72 YEAR OLD MALE WHO IS RECOVERING FROM AN OPEN HEART SURGERY AND TWO BRAIN SURGERIES. THE SHIFTING MECHANISM AND THE ASSOCIATED CONTROL MUST BE FAULTY RESULTING IN THE "FALSE PARK" POSITION.

VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES. STARTS WHEN IT WANTS TOO. CAR IS ONLY 18 MONTHS OLD 17,100 MILES. 2 DAYS IN ROW CAR WOULDN'T TURN OVER BUT EVERYTHING IN THE CAR WORKED. LIGHTS, RADIO, POWER WINDOWS ETC. COMPUTER WASN'T DETECTING KEY THAT WAS IN MY HAND.

STICKY STEERING WHEEL WHEN TRAVELING ON STRAIGHT ROADWAYS AND HIGHWAYS ABOVE 40 MPH. I NOTICED A SLIGHT STICK TO THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY OR ON A STRAIGHT ROAD ABOVE 40 MPH. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT 15,000 MILES. THE STEERING WHEEL TENDS TO STICK WHEN TRYING TO TRACK STRAIGHT WHICH CAUSES ME TO CONSISTENTLY SWERVE WHILE TRYING TO CORRECT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE AS A BAD MDPS UNIT (STEERING COLUMN SHAFT ASSEMBLY) PART#56310-2W840. WHILE AT THE SHOP, I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN AND FOUND THAT THIS UNIT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN OTHER MAKES AND MODELS AS A BAD UNIT DUE TO A RUBBER COUPLER INSIDE THE MDPS AND HYUNDAI HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THESE PARTS. I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS PART BEYOND THE FACTORY WARRANTY FOR THE 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 1 YEAR 11 MOS AND IT CURRENTLY HAS 16261 MILES. NOTES FROM DEALERSHIP TECH: " THE STEERING WAS STICKING. THE COLUMN WAS AT FAULT INTERNAL FAILURE. I WAS UNABLE TO ISOLATE WHAT PART OF THE MOTOR DRIVEN STEERING UNIT WAS THE ROOT CUASE OF THE STICKING. ALL PARTS TESTED GOOD BUT I STILL HAD THE ISSUE. I PERFORMED A STEERING WHEEL CALIBRATION AND RESET THE STEERING FEEL ZERO. I REDROVE THE CAR AND NOTED AFTER DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT LEVEL ROAD AND 40-60 MPH SPEEDS THAT WHEN I MOVED THE STEERING LEFT OR RIGHT THAT THERE WAS A NOTICABLE STICKING. BEFORE THE STEERING FELT LIKE IT HAD ASSIST. I REPLACED THE

SUNROOF EXPLODED DRIVING AT SPEED LIMIT ON FREEWAY,DRY,CLEAR,NO SNOW,NO VEHICLES NEAR,ESP IN FRONT OF VEHICLE.LOUD BANG,THOUGHT TIRE BLEW OUT,PULLED OVER,SAW ROOF GLASS BROKEN.WIND SCREEN WAS FORWARD,SO NO GLASS PARTICLES RAINED DOWN,BUT THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD AS L OFTEN DRIVE MY CHILDREN & GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE.

WHILE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT WAS IF THE POWER STEERING HAD DISAPPEARED. VERY SCARY. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN SAVANNAH GEORGIA, THEY WERE NOT VERY RESPONSIVE. GOING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS FIXED. A GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATED THERE ARE OTHERS THIS HAPPENED TO AS WELL.

MY 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN AVOIDING TRAFFIC OR MOVING THROUGH TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD RATTLING, ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROGER BEASLEY HYUNDAI (24795 I-35, KYLE, TX 78640, (512) 262-2020) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP OR NEARLY A DEAD STOP THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PAUSE AND THEN IT ACCELERATES QUICKLY, THIS CAUSED A FAMILY MEMBER TO HIT A CAR IN A PARKING LOT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE DRIFTS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAVE TO OVER CORRECT THE STEERING AND FORCE THE VEHICLE TO STAY STRAIGHT. THE DEALER PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER; IT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. I'M AFRAID FOR OUR SAFETY.

WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED, STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT GETS STUCK WHILE TRYING TO MAINTAIN STEERING. AS YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT TRYING TO MAINTAIN LANE IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL CATCHES EACH TIME YOU SLIGHTLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAUSES YOU TO OVER CORRECT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN LANE. FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE I OVERCORRECTED AND THE CAR VEERED OUT OF ITS LANE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER TWICE SO FAR AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE SITUATION, EVEN THOUGH I DROVE THE CAR WITH SERVICE PERSON IN IT AND THE "STICKING" OCCURRED WHILE I DROVE IT.

VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A SLOW SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST ESPECIALLY WHEN TAKING TURNS . DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO TRAFFIC LANES . THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND FORTUNATELY DIDN'T END UP IN ACCIDENT . HAPPENS IN DRIVE MODES ECO, NORMAL ..CALLED DEALER AND THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF SUCH AN ISSUE BUT SEVERAL INCIDENTS REPORTED ONLINE .

I HAD MY CAR FOR 12 MONTHS I BOUGHT BRAN NEW. IT HAS STALED AND TURN OFF ON ME AT LEAST 5 TIMES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR LOSES POWER AND STOPS.THAN BEFORE IT STOPS MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE.

MY 2017 SANTA FE SPORT WITH THE 2.0 TURBO ENGINE, HESITATES ALL THE TIME WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE OR MAKE A TURN FOR APROX. 1-2 SECONDS, THUS IT MAKES FOR A HAZARDOUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE TURNING IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC.

WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT FROM A STOP OR LOW SPEED (<10 MPH) ON A PAVED CITY STREET, INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND TO MY GAS PEDAL. I CAN HAVE THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. ONLY AFTER 1.5 TO 2.0 SECONDS WILL THE CAR REACT, AND WHEN IT DOES, IT IS VIOLENTLY FAST. THIS CAUSES ISSUES WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS STALLING FOR ALMOST 2 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR BEGINS TO MOVE FORWARD (VIOLENTLY).

2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING OVER 45 MPH DURING COLD WEATHER. *LD *JS

SEVERE HESITATION WHEN COMING OUT OF A SHARP TURN. ALSO HAPPENS UPON ACCELERATION AFTER A TRAFFIC LIGHT. HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AS TIME GOES ON CURRENTLY 13K MILES ON VEHICLE. HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY DRIVING TRIP BUT PUT TODAYS DATE ON IT AS IT HAPPENED LAST TODAY 8/1/18.

THIS IS THE THIRD OCCASSION WHERE MY 2017 SANTA FE WILL NOT START. WHEN I TURN THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION THERE IS NO SOUND AT ALL, NO ELECTRICITY IS BEING SENT TO START THE ENGINE. HOWEVER, ALL MY LIGHTS AND RADIO FUNTIONS WORK JUST FINE. AFTER A WHILE THE IT WILL WORK AGAIN. MY BATTERY HAS BEEN TESTED AND SHOWN TO BE WORKING FINE. I LEAVE NO INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AND CANT FIGURE OUT WHAT CHANGES TO MAKE IT START WORKING .

FAILURE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP POSITION. PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO THE OFF RAMP. CAME TO A STOP THEN TRIED TO TURN LEFT. VEHICLE BARELY MOVED AND HAD TO ACCELERATE TO OVER 2500 RPM AND SEVERAL SECONDS LATER TO GET THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVING. PULLED OFF THE ROAD, PUT THE VEHICLE INTO MANUAL SHIFT MODE TO FIND THE TRANSMISSION IS LOCKED INTO 4TH GEAR AND CANNOT BE DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO BE LOCKED INTO 4TH GEAR AFTER EACH STOP. TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING TEMPORARILY CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. POTENTIAL MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE NOW WITH DEALER TO RESOLVE

VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES SIMILAR TO A LOW OR DEAD BATTERY. WILL ONLY START WHEN IT WANTS. USUALLY HAPPENS AT FIRST START OF THE DAY OR LATE AFTERNOON. PUTTING VEHICLE IN DRIVE IS HARDER THAN NORMAL. TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTS HAVE HARD JERKING FEEL.

2017 HYUNDAI SANTE FE SE, WHEN FIRST PURCHASED I FELT HESITATION, ACCORDING TO DEALER THEY WAS A UPDATE FOR THE COMPUTER, I TOOK IT IN FOR UPDATE WHICH ACTUALLY DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. AT TIMES WHEN GETTING IN VEHICLE TO DRIVE OFF AND PUT IN GEAR IT WOULD NOT MOVE. TOOK TO DEALER FOR SERVICE TECH DROVE CAR HOME AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUES. AFTER THAT I STOPPED USING VEHICLE. I SENT HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS A COMPLAINT AND THEY BRUSHED IT OFF. SINCE I DIDNT BUY THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER I TOOK FOR SERVICE THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A LONER. SUSPENSION HAS A DEFECT CHANGED TIRES AT 15000 MILES DUE TO HUMMING FROM REAR, HAD VEHICLE ALIGNED AND NEW TIRES 6 MONTHS LATER TIRES ARE WORN HYUNDAI HAS SUSPENSION ISSUES. LAST, SO FAR IS ENGINE KNOCKS WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. ITS A SHAME THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON VEHICLE THAT DONT SERVE OUR NEEDS AND HYUNDAI DOES NOT CARE BUT TO HAVE THERE PAYMENTS ON TIME. I CONTACTED MY ATTORNEY, PLANNING TO DROP OFF AT DEALER AND RETURN TO HYUNDAI SO THE FINANCE COMPANY CAN TAKE IT BACK EITHER I GET MY ISSUES FIXED JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE SHOULD OR I STOP PAYING AND TAKE IT BACK. IF YOU ANYBODY THAT IS INTERESTED IN BUYING A HYUNDAI VEHICLE LIKE OURS SEND THEM ELSEWHERE.

ACCELERATION ISSUES. ON AT LEAST TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, ACCELERATION FROM A STOP RESULTED IN THE CAR STAYING AT THE SAME SPEED. HAD TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND REAPPLY SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT MOVING. NORMALLY, APPLYING THROTTLE PUSHES INDIVIDUALS BACK ON THEIR SEATS. CAR WAS TAKEN TO LAUREL HYUNDAI AND PER THE TECHS "UNABLE TO REPLICATE CUSTOMERS CONCERN ON ROAD TEST, NO CODES STORED OR PRESENT IN SYSTEM, NO TAB'S FOR CONCERN FOUND". LOOKING AT GETTING RID OF THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD 2 INCIDENTS NOW WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHEN I'VE MADE A LEFT HAND TURN. THE LIGHT SHOWING A VEHICLE ON A HILL POPS ON AND OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT IS REALLY SCARY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. WITHIN A DAY OF THE CONTACT OWNING THE VEHICLE, A PASSERBY ALERTED THE CONTACT TO THE FACT THAT THE REAR WHEELS WERE WOBBLING AND SHAKING ABNORMALLY. THE DEALER (DAVIS HYUNDAI, 1655 N OLDEN AVE, TRENTON, NJ 08638, 609-871-2800) STATED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE DRIVING CONDITION WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL WITHIN A WEEK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE DEALER PROVIDED A CORRECT DIAGNOSIS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO BE INFORMED BY OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD THAT THE VEHICLE'S REAR SUSPENSION WAS UNSTABLE. THE SAME DEALER FURTHER STATED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO THE CONTACT. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN INSPECTION FACILITY TO DETERMINE IF THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

UPON MOVING AFTER COMPLETE STOP AND TURNING VEHICLE TO RIGHT OR LEFT, THERE IS HESITATION BEFORE THERE IS THROTTLE RESPONSE. IT OCCURS MORE OFTEN IF WHILE INITIALLY MAKING A TURN AND ANY SIZE BUMP OR POTHOLE IS ENCOUNTERED. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE AN AVOIDANCE MANEUVER IF NECESSARY SINCE THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE THROTTLE RESPONSE. THE SAME SITUATION OCCURS WHEN AT SLOW SPEEDS A POTHOLE OR BUMP IS ENCOUNTERED DURING A TURN. AGAIN, DANGEROUS, BECAUSE WITHOUT A RESPONSIVE THROTTLE NO AVOIDANCE MANEUVER IS POSSIBLE. N.B. I PUT TODAY'S DATE BECAUSE THE "FIELD IS REQUIRED". IT OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS, NONETHELESS.

WHEN DRIVING, AND NOT ALL THE TIME I HAVE TO FIGHT THE CAR TO KEEP DRIVING STRAIGHT. ON HIGHWAYS WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE CAR IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK, AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM OR FIX. DID NOT START TILL I HAD THE CAR FOR OVER A YEAR. CAR HAS 20,000 MILES ON IT.

RIM PAINT PEELING AT 9000 MILES HAPPENING ALL OVER COUNTRY RIMS NEED TO BE RECALLED I HAVE 5 SPOKE Y RIMS 19 ' INCH CAR HESITATES FROM DEADSTOP SAFETY ISSUE ALL OVER INTERNET FROM OTHER CAR OWNERS

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 15 OR 20 MINUTES 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. BACK AND FORTH I GO CONTINUOUSLY HAVING TO OVERCORRECT FOR THE STICKING/NOTCHY STEERING. VERY ANNOYING AND TIRING AND COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS. FOUND ONE OTHER OWNER ON THIS SITE WHO IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING MECHANISM. I HOPE TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SOON BUT DON'T HOLD OUT MUCH HOPE THAT THEY'LL BE OF MUCH HELP. PLEASE LET HYUNDAI KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE AND I'M THINKING MOST OWNERS MAY JUST BE IGNORING IT AND CHOOSING TO LIVE WITH IT. I NOTICE THIS MOSTLY WHILE DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC.I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR AND ONLY STARTED EXPERIENCING THE STEERING ISSUE ABOUT 6 OR7 MONTHS AGO.

AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING AT OR NEAR HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE STEERING BECOMES "STICKY" AND REQUIRES THE DRIVER "BREAK" THE "STUCK" STEERING WHEEL AND IT RESULTS IN A FORCED OVERCORRECTION THAT MAKES THE VEHICLE DRIFT FROM ONE SIDE OF THE LANE TO THE OTHER. THIS IS CONTINUOUS PROBLEM ONCE IT BEGINS AS CONSTANT STEERING INPUT IS REQUIRED TO KEEP A VEHICLE IN A STRAIGHT LINE. AT A MINIMUM, IT IS ANNOYING AND EXHAUSTING ON LONG TRIPS. THE REAL ISSUE IS SAFETY. THE FORCED OVERCORRECTION IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ON NARROW COUNTRY ROADS AS IT WILL FORCE THE VEHICLE INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE OR CLOSE TO THE DITCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DEALER CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM WHEN I TAKE IT IN BECAUSE THE PROBLEM ONLY EMERGES AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND HYUNDAI NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE CONTACT CONTINUALLY DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FORWARD. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. DEALER MADE SOFTWARE UPDATE ON 4/2/2018 AND CONTACT HAS HAD NO ISSUES SINCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100. *TT
