Latches/locks/linkages, hood, latchJun 5, 2017
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2013-2017 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the secondary hood latch actuating cable may corrode and bind, causing the secondary hood latch to remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed.
If the hood is not securely closed or the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the secondary latch cable, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owner's may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059. Hyundai's number for the recall is 163.

Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2013 front wheel drive Santa Fe Sport vehicles manufactured July 13, 2012, through March 12, 2013; and equipped with 2.4 liter engines. Due to a manufacturing issue, the right front axle shaft may fracture.
A fractured front axle may result in a loss of power to the wheels. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied, it may roll away. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front axle shaft assembly, free of charge. The recall began on September 19, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai Custom Care Center at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall number is 112.

Engine, Mar 4, 2018
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO WORK AND THE ENGINE STOPS AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS ARE ON. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT EVEN TURN OVER LET ALONE START. I HAD AAA TOW THE VEHICLE TO MY HOUSE AND AFTER PUTTING A WRENCH ON THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY BOLT AND PHYSICALLY TRYING TO TURN THE MOTOR OVER I REALIZED THE MOTOR IS SEIZED. I HAD NOTICED AFTER DRAINING MY OIL DURING ALL THE PRIOR OIL CHANGES, THE VEHICLE WAS LOSING OIL. THERE IS NO SIGNS OF THE ENGINE LEAKING OIL EXTERNALLY SO IT HAS TO BE AN INTERNAL MALFUNCTION ON THE ENGINE. KNOWING THIS I WOULD CHECK AND ADD OIL AS NEEDED BETWEEN Y OIL CHANGES. THE ENGINE HAD PLENTY OF OIL BEFORE AND AFTER THE ENGINE FAILED. SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY ENGINE FROM DAY ONE FROM THE FACTORY. I GUARANTEE THIS ENGINE FAILED BECAUSE OF THE FACTORY THAT ASSEMBLED THE ENGINE.

DRIVING VISIBILITY DURING DARKNESS AND/OR RAINY CONDITIONS IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED DUE TO DIM AND LOW BEAM DIRECTION OF SAID VEHICLE MAKING DRIVING WITH HIGH BEAMS THE ONLY WAY TO SAFELY DRIVE AT NIGHT.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE HAD SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. VEHICLE WAS PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE ALL OF THE SERVICE WORK HAS BEEN DONE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN DO TO A SUDDEN LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE. THERE WAS NO OIL SPILL OR LEAKS ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE ENGINE. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON INSIDE DASHBOARD. HOW DOES IT GO FROM RUNNING FINE, TO JUST GOING UP HILL AND HAVING LOSS OF POWER, MAKING NOISE AND WHEN TOWED TO THE GARAGE ENGINE IS BLOWN.
Steering, Suspension, Feb 8, 2018
STEERING / SUSPENSION. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW ON 01.09.2014 OUT OF THE SHOWROOM. ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS LATER, I STARTED TO NOTICE THE STEERING AND ROUGH RIDE. THE STEERING WAS LIKE A VEHICLE WITH "JIMMY LEGS" LOOSE AND ALL OVER THE ROAD. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED OUT. FIRST THING IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT ON THE FRONT END (LEFT TOE -0.10D, RIGHT TOE -0.09D). THEY CHECKED THE SUSPENSION AND TOLD ME THAT THE COMPONENTS WERE GOOD WITH NO DAMAGE OR WEAR INCLUDING THE STRUTS. I TOLD THEM OF HOW ROUGH THE RIDE IS DRIVING AT VARIABLE SPEEDS ON THE LOCAL ROADS. EVER SINCE, I HAVE HAD 5 ALIGNMENTS AND STILL HAVE THE SAME HANDLING AND STEERING PROBLEMS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO SEARS TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THE LEFT FRONT WAS OUT BY -0.07D. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I WAS THE 6TH PERSON WITH THE SAME MODEL VEHICLE TO COME IN THERE IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. HE STATED THAT THE REASON FOR THE ISSUES ARE COMING FROM THE ELECTRONIC STEERING MODULE. WHEN YOU ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL TO ON OF THE THREE SETTINGS (NORMAL, COMFORT, SPORT), IT CAUSES THE FRONT ALIGNMENT OUT. THIS TO ME SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW AND HYUNDAI DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I JUST GET TIRED EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP OF BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM, IT IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSE TO RIDE LIKE THAT DUE TO THAT IT IS NOT A CAR. I WAS AT HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP ON 06/FEB/18, AND THAT IS WHAT THEY TOLD ME BUT I HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $89.95 FOR AN ALIGNMENT AGAIN, LEFT FRONT WAS OUT (TOE -0.15D) RIGHT FRONT WAS OUT (TOE -0.18D). I WAS TOLD THAT THE STRUTS AND SUSPENSION WAS OK, BUT COULD BE THE TIRES. I HAVE 29,374 MILES ON IT AND I AM GETTING TIRED OF HAVING TO BRING IT IN TO HAVE THE SAME WORK DONE AND BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE ALL PAPERWORK TO USE TO SHOW THE ALIGNMENTS THAT WERE DONE.

WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. BARELY MANAGED TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, DEALER INFORMED US THE NEXT DAY THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE WE HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT A WEEK PRIOR FOR THEM TO "CHECK" IT! THEREIN LIES MY COMPLAINT - I QUESTION WHETHER HYUNDAI'S PROCEDURES FOR THIS RECALL ARE ADEQUATE. ALTHOUGH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE WILL PROBABLY BE COVERED BY WARRANTY/RECALL (WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION YET), MY SAFETY WAS UNNECESSARILY JEOPARDIZED. NOT TO MENTION THE COST INVOLVED FOR TOWING AND REPLACEMENT CAR RENTAL.

TAKATA RECALL. RELIGIOUSLY IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND MAINTENANCE, NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR 1200 MORE MILES. THE VEHICLE SAT FOR 7 DAYS WHILE I WAS ON VACATION, RAN FINE BEFORE IT SAT. DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS AFTER RETURNING FROM VACATION. ABOUT 6PM COMING HOME FROM WORK, OPPOSITE FROM RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I SUDDENLY HEARD SLIGHT TICKING SOUND WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY GETTING ON TO THE HIGHWAY, I ALSO NOTICED THE RPMS WERE HIGH AND NOT MUCH POWER BEHIND ACCELERATING. DROVE ABOUT 10-15 MILES, TICKING GOT LOUDER WHEN ACCELERATING UNTIL THERE WAS A CONSTANT TICKING AND RATTLE IN THE FRONT END. PARKED THE CAR LET IT SIT FOR A NIGHT. WENT TO TAKE IT TO THE GARAGE, UPON STARTING THE CAR THERE WAS TICKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, RATTLELING, AND SHAKING, TURNED THE VEHICLE RIGHT OFF. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO LOW OIL LIGHT, NO DASH NOTIFICATION LIGHTS LIGHT UP INDICATING ANYTHING WAS WRONG, TEMPERATURE SEEMED NORMAL. POPPED THE HOOD TO CHECK FLIUDS. CHECKED OIL DIPSTICK, DRY AS DRY COULD BE. NO COOLANT, NO OIL. HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AFRAID ENGINE IS SHOT! IF I WAS TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IT COULD HAVE SEIZED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR LOSS OF CONTROL. I AM THANKFUL MY 17 YEAR OLD WAS NOT BEHIND THE WHEEL. I AM SURE A HEAFTY ENGINE REPLACEMENT BILL IS COMING MY WAY.
