Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2011-2015 Elantra, Genesis Coupe, Sonata Hybrid, 2012-2015 Accent, Azera, Veloster, 2013-2015 Elantra Coupe, Santa Fe, 2014-2015 Equus, 2010-2012 Veracruz, 2010-2013 Tucson, 2015 Tucson Fuel Cell, and 2013 Santa Fe Sport vehicles. The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module may leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short, which can result in an engine compartment fire while parked or driving.
An engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.
Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete. Dealers will replace the ABS fuse, free of charge.

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.

I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE MAP SENSOR AND THE BATTERY LAST YEAR. CAR WAS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON. RECENTLY IN LAST COUPLE MONTHS NOTICED ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES. WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO BRAKES WHILE ON FREEWAY THE STEERING WOULD SHAKE AND FEEL LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL. JUST RECEIVED NOTICE OF A BRAKE RECALL BUT THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY. HOW LONG DO I WAIT FOR THEM TO COME UP WITH A REMEDY?
Service brakes, Nov 21, 2020
IN LATE SEPTEMBER WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION ("CAMPAIGNE194") FROM THE MANUFACTURER STATING THAT A BREAK FLUID LEAK IN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT WITH POTENTIAL FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. MY WIFE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE DEALER, FITZGERALD HYUNDAI ROCKVILLE MD, TO GET IT FIXED. THEY SAID THE FIX WAS NOT READY AND THAT WE WOULD BE CONTACTED. WHEN TOLD THEM THAT WE PLANNED TO DRIVE TO SOUTH FLORIDA (FROM JUST NORTH OF WASHINGTON DC), THEY BRUSHED OFF HER CONCERN WITH A CARELESS ATTITUDE. WE ARE NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ALL AND SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS OBLIGED "TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER". WE HAVE RECEIVED NO FOLLOW-UP FROM THEM AND FEEL THAT GIVEN THIS BEGAN IN AUGUST, A "TIMELY MANNER" HAS NOT BEEN MET. IS OUR VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE?! WE THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE.

ENGINE SEIZED-NEEDED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT; $3,344 PAID TO WAIKEM HYUNDAI CANTON, OH- ENGINE LIGHT CAME WHILE DRIVING AND CAR STALLED. NEVER STARTED AGAIN, TOWED TO WAIKEM HYUNDAI, DENIED WARRANTY COVERAGE STATING NO PROOF OF ADEQUATE OIL CHANGES, EVEN THOUGH MANY PUBLISHED REPORTS OF HYUNDAI SANTA FE ENGINE FAILURES. I BELIEVE ENGINE RECALLS EXIST FOR 2014, ONE YEAR AWAY FROM OUR 2015- BELIEVE ISSUES OBVIOUSLY WEREN'T FIXED AND HYUNDAI NOT BEING ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR MISTAKES. OWNED MANY, MANY VEHICLES OVER MANY YEARS...NONE EVER HAD COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE LIKE THIS HYUNDAI. REPAIR RECEIPT AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, GOING APPROXIMATELY 65-75MPH FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. AS I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR TO PREPARE FOR A LANE CHANGE, I REALIZED THAT I COULD PUT THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT MY "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT APPEARED. I TRIED AGAIN UNSUCCESSFULLY, THEN TRIED THE BREAKS. THE BREAKS WERE VERY STIFF, AS IF THEIR POWER TO THE ENGINE WAS CUT OFF. I TRIED TO TURN OFF OF THE HIGHWAY ONTO THE CURB, AND I NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WAS ALSO VERY STIFF. ALTHOUGH I COULD TURN, IT TOOK MUCH MORE STRENGTH THAN USUAL. I LET THE SPEED DECLINE NATURALLY UNTIL IT STOPPED ENTIRELY ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHILE STOPPED, I TRIED REPEATEDLY TO USE THE BREAKS, GAS, AND TEST THE STEERING, BUT THE SAME ISSUES WERE THERE WITH ZERO SUCCESS. ONE THING I CAN NOTE WAS THAT THE BATTERY APPEARED TO BE WORKING JUST FINE, AS MY RADIO WAS ON THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE TIME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. I TURNED THE CAR ON AFTER SOME TIME AND IT IMMEDIATELY WORKED - WITH EVERYTHING ELSE APPEARING TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE LIGHT AT THIS TIME WAS OFF, AND HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR INTO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, BUT BECAUSE THE LIGHT TURNED OFF, THEY CLAIM THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO READ WHAT HAD HAPPENED DURING THIS INCIDENT. THEY GAVE THE CAR BACK TO ME WHILE OFFERING NO SUGGESTIONS, THEY DID NOT EVEN TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK AT THE ENGINE. THEY EVEN SAID THAT THEY WOULD TRADE IN THE CAR FOR RESALE - AS IF THEY WOULD LET SOMEONE ELSE TAKE THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I AM LUCKY I DIDN'T DIE, AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. MY PROBLEM APPEARS TO LOOK MUCH LIKE THE RECALLS OF OTHER SANTA FE YEARS AROUND 2015. I HAVE TRIED FOR A WEEK TO CONTACT HYUNDAI WITH NO SUCCESS IN GETTING IN CONTACT WITH A CASE MANAGER. FAILURE MILEAGE AROUND 83,000.

2015 HYUNDAI SANTA FEE I BOUGHT NEW, TURBO SPORT. AT 26,750 MILES THE DISC PADS ON ALL 4 WHEELS FELL OFF THE STEEL BACKING PLATES. THE PADS IN THE FRONT WERE PAPER THIN AND THE BACK WERE SOMEWHAT BETTER. THE "SQUEALERS" THAT WARN YOU OF PAD THICKNESS NEVER MADE A SOUND. DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'M A 50 YEAR SERVICE MECHANICS, NEVER SAW THIS BEFORE. THE PADS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH LACK OF STOPPING. I'M NOT ASKING FOR MONEY BACK FROM THEM, WARNING OWNERS NOT TO EXPECT THE 50K MILEAGE STANDARD FOR HYUNDAI VEHICLES. I CALLED THEM AT HEADQUARTERS TO WARN THEM OF THIS SITUATION. COULD HAVE CAUSED GRAND MOTHER AND CHILD SOME SERIOUS OUT COME AS THAT IS THE ONLY USE FOR THIS VEHICLE. BEWARE

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING (0 RPM ON DASH). I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THE ENGINE/CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. I REMEMBER SMELLING A BURNING SMELL THE NIGHT BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. ALSO, SMELLED THE SAME BURNING SMELL FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ON THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT AFTER THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY TURNED OFF. THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANYTHING PRIOR TO THIS EVENT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION HYUNDAI!
