Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model Year 2001-2006 Santa Fe vehicles manufactured from March 31, 2000, through February 15, 2006, that are registered and operated, or which were originally sold and registered, in the following 20 salt belt" states and the District of Columbia: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The affected vehicles may experience front coil spring corrosion from road salt, causing the coil spring to fracture and make contact with the tire.
If the front coil spring fractures due to corrosion it could cause the coil spring to make contact with the tire, possibly puncturing the tire and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the coil spring, free of charge. The recall began on October 24, 2014. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 124.

MY 2005, SANTE FE HAS ONLY 69K MILES, AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAS REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLE THAT NEEDS REPLACED AND THEN THE LIGHT NEEDS TO BE RESET BY THE DEALER, NOBODY ELSE I KNOW CAN DO THIS. THE ASSEMBLY FOR THE SEAT BELT IS ONLY A DEALER PART. TOTAL COST TO REPAIR IS ALMOST $500.00. I'VE READ MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT BELT GOING BAD AND THE ONLY PLACE TO FIX IS THE DEALER. *TR

VEHICLE WAS BEING PARKED IN A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF A GROCERY WHEN IT STARTED ACCELERATING AND MY VEHICLE HIT THE SIDE OF A CAR IN THE NEXT PARKING SPACE WHICH IN TURN WAS PUSHED INTO THE SIDE OF A SECOND AUTO PARKED IN THE THIRD SPACE. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED 5 OR 6 TIMES IN THE PAST BEGINNING APPROXIMATELY 2007. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO 2 DEALERSHIPS AND EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ANY DAMAGE WAS DONE TO ANY VEHICLE. THIS TIME WHEN IT HAPPENED, THE AUTO COULD NOT BE STOPPED USING THE BRAKES AND THE AUTO COULD NOT BE STEERED. THE OTHER TIMES WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN AND THE VEHICLE WAS GOING STRAIGHT AND WERE NOT AWARE OF A STEERING PROBLEM. DO KNOW THAT THE BRAKES JUST BARELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE AFTER STANDING ON THE BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET. I NOW FEAR SERIOUS INJURY TO ME, MY WIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE. THIS VEHICLE COULD VERY WELL TAKE US OUT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION. *TR

2005 HYUNDAI SANTE FE (I HAVE TWO OF THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR) I BROUGHT THE VEHICLES IN FOR THE INITIAL AIR BAG RECALL (CHILD SAFETY - WEIGHT IN THE FRONT SEAT.) THAT SEEMED TO REMOVE THE AIR BAG LIGHT FOR ABOUT A MONTH. THEY RESET THEM AGAIN FOR A SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH TIME. NOW EVEN WITHOUT A PASSENGER, THE 'PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF' LIGHT IS OUT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS IS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT I HAVE SEEN IT ON MORE THAN ONE SITE AND I HAVE IT HAPPENING ON TWO OF THE SAME VEHICLES, ONE MY WIFE DRIVES (5'2" TALL, AVERAGE) AND THE OTHER I DRIVE (6'-3" TALL, HEAVY). BEING A SAFETY ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE COVERED, BUT THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX IT WITHOUT CHARGING CLOSE TO $600 EA. VEHICLE. THERE IS NOTHING UNDER THE SEATS AS THEY HAVE STATED TO MAKE SURE THAT THINGS ARE CLEAR UNDERNEATH. JUST WONDERING WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO DATE ON A RECALL THAT EFFECTS THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF PEOPLE. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) HAS TWICE NOW THROWN THE VEHICLE INTO VIOLENT AND UNCONTROLLABLE OUT OF CONTROL SKID ON HARD PACKED SNOW. THE TCS EXASERBATED WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A NORMAL SLOW SPEED CURVE TO THE RIGHT ON HARD PACKED SNOW. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH A CURVE TO THE RIGHT. THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS ON A SLIGHT DECLINE WITH A CURVE TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE 46 YEARS OF DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE IN ALL SORTS OF VEHICLES WITHOUT INCIDENT AND WITHOUT TCS. (2WD REAR DRIVE, 2WD FRONT DRIVE, 4X4 CARS AND TRUCKS. THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE WITH TCS AND THERE IS NO SWITCH TO DISABLE IT. I FEEL THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO BE DISABLED AT THE DRIVER'S DISGRESSION. THE TCS ACCORDING TO ITS DESCRIPTION, AFFECTS THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. I FEEL THAT THE TCS IS CAUSING INAPPROPRIATE BRAKING ACTION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE THROWN INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE AND DANGEROUS SKID.

THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY SURGE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDDLE. THIS TIME IT SURGED AND I BACKED INTO MY FRIENDS VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY. ESTIMATED DAMGE WAS $4000.00 WITH BOTH CARS. AFTER THE BODY REPAIR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR AN HOUR THEN WENT OFF. THIS PROBLEM HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 6 MONTHS AND THE DEALERS I WENT SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNLESS THERE WAS A ENGINE LIGHT ON. THE CODE TOLD THEM THEY HAD TO REPAIR THE ENTIRE THROTTLE BODY AND CENSOR. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT I COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOW THE DEALER HAD TO ALSO REPLACE THE STEERING CHASSIS BECAUSE IT WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING ROUGH AND I AM STUCK WITH THAT UNTIL IT SEND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. *TR

THE LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING ON MY 2005 HYUNDAI SANTE FE BROKE WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A STOP CAUSING THE LEFT FRONT TIRE TO BLOW OUT AND THE BRAKE LINE TO BE DAMAGED. IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER THE SPRING, ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS FOUND TO BE BROKEN AS WELL. BOTH FRONT SPRINGS, LEFT TIRE AND BRAKE LINE WERE REPLACED. I ASKED THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALER IF HE'S SEEN THIS BEFORE AND HE SAID HE HAD ONE OTHER TIME. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO WITH THE SANTE FE'S AS THESE PARTS SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKE ON A VEHICLE WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT, AS WELL AS IF I WERE AT HIGHWAY SPEED I'M QUITE SURE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT. *TR

SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN A HYUNDAI SANTA FE CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT AT OUR HOUSE WITH EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE AND PROPERTY, AND SOME PERSONAL INJURY. THE VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPORTED AS HAVING OVER-REVVED ON OCCASION, BUT THE DEALER HAD BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAULT, AND THIS HAD NOT OCCURRED FOR SOME TIME. ON THIS OCCASION THE ENGINE STUCK IN MAXIMUM REVS, EVEN IN NEUTRAL, AND AN INDEPENDENT ENGINEER ATTRIBUTED THIS TO FAULTY CABLE POSITIONING, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT KNOW WHETHER THAT CAUSED THE ORIGINAL SUA OR JUST THE STICKING. THE AIRBAG FAILED TO INFLATE DESPITE MAJOR IMPACT. HYUNDAI HAVE BEEN SINGULARLY UNHELPFUL AND DENIED KNOWLEDGE OF THIS SORT OF THING OCCURRING BEFORE, WHICH IS CLEARLY UNTRUE. UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE NOT, AND THE INCIDENT WAS NOT, IN THE US, BUT WE HAVE BEEN ASKED TO REPORT THIS TO YOU BY OTHERS IN THE US AFFECTED BY THE SAME PROBLEM, BECAUSE OF HYUNDAI'S DISINTEREST. *TR

HYUNDAI, SANTA FE--2005. SOMETIMES AFTER STOPPING, WHEN YOU AGAIN PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO RESUME DRIVING, THE CAR WILL SURGE AHEAD QUICKLY. THE SURGE IS NOT CONTINUOUS BUT DOES REQUIRE THE OPERATOR TO LET UP ON THE ACCELERATOR IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL (NOT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU). THIS PRIMARILY APPEARS TO HAPPEN AFTER MAKING A STOP THAT IS FOLLOWED BY AN IMMEDIATE RESUMPTION OF DRIVING. NO INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED THAT HAVE CAUSED ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES AS OF THIS DATE. *TR

BRAKING SOMETIMES CAUSES THE MOTOR TO RACE AND HARD BRAKING MAKES IT WORST. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND I FELT LUCKY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. IT HAPPENS WHEN STOPPING AT ABOUT 10-20 MILES PER HOUR. DEALER ALWAYS "CANNOT DUPLICATE SAME RESULT" I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON LINE SO IT IS NOT MY DRIVING. *TR

ON A FREQUENT BASIS I CAN SMELL GASOLINE FUMES IN THE VEHICLE INTERIOR WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE FUMES THEY ACTED LIKE IT WAS NORMAL, AND DID NOT INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. IF THE FIRE WALL AROUND THE VEHICLE IS INTACT HOW CAN FUMES GET INTO THE VEHICLE INTERIOR? THEY DID SUGGEST IT MAY BE CAUSED BY AN AIR LOCK IN THE SYSTEM. *TR
