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.

Tires, pressure monitoring and regulating systemsMar 6, 2017
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2017 Santa Fe Sport vehicles. The affected vehicles have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that may not have been set in the correct mode during vehicle assembly, and therefore will not provide an appropriate warning in the event of an underinflated tire. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
An underinflated inflated tire can increase the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the TPMS sensors, free of charge. The recall began March 31, 2017. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for the recall is 159.

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Tucson vehicles manufactured May 19, 2015, to November 14, 2016, and 2017 Santa Fe vehicles manufactured November 28, 2015, to November 14, 2016. The affected vehicles may be equipped with an accessory trailer hitch wiring harness that, due to a malfunction of the tow hitch module, may result, in the trailer brake lights being constantly illuminated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, " Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
If the trailer brake lights stay illuminated while being used, other drivers may be confused, increasing the risk of a crash.

Seat belts, front, warning light/devicesMar 10, 2016
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Santa Fe vehicles manufactured September 1, 2015 to February 12, 2016. In the affected vehicles, the wires in the front seat belt buckle harnesses may be damaged by the seat's height adjuster mechanism, resulting in a failure to provide an audible warning when front seat occupants do not fasten their seat belts. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Without a warning to remind the front seat occupants that their seat belts are not buckled, they may forget to buckle their seat belt, increasing their risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reroute the wires in the front seat belt buckle harnesses to their proper locations, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 27, 2016. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 141.

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.
Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 28, 2018
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).

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
Power train, Electrical system, Jun 30, 2018

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.

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.

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.
Steering, Mar 31, 2018
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.

MY CONCERN IS THAT MY FRONTAL DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED
Service brakes, Feb 20, 2018
THIS COMPLAINT HAS TO DO WITH THE AEB ( AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING ) SYSTEM. THIS WAS A FEATURE THAT LED ME TO PURCHASE THE CAR AND I DISCUSSED IT WITH THE SALESMAN AT LENGTH AT THE TIME I PURCHASED IT. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, I STARTED TRYING TO TEST IT TO SEE IF AND HOW IT WORKED. I COULD GET NO INDICATION IT WAS WORKING WITHOUT WRECKING IT. THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE 3 WARNING STAGES ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL ( 1 A MESSAGE ON LCD WITH WARNING ALARMS, 2 A 2ND COLLISION WARNING MESSAGE AND LIMITED CONTROL OF THE BRAKES, 3 EMERGENCY BRAKING ). I NEVER SAW ANY OF THESE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER ALONG WITH A VIDEO IN WHICH I TESTED IT RUNNING OVER PARTY BALLOONS. THEY SAID IT WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED. I WROTE HYUNDAI AMERICA AND THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE TO ANOTHER DEALER WHICH I DID AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. NO ONE CARES OR IS INTERESTED IN SEEING THAT THE SYSTEM WORKS. I HAVE ATTACHED A COUPLE OF STILL PHOTOS I TOOK FROM MY VIDEO SHOWING JUST BEFORE AND AFTER THE COLLISION WITH THE BALLOONS. I HAVE SEVERAL VIDEOS, I COULD SEND IF INTERESTED. THANK YOU
