Steering Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe - part 2

Took my car in for repair because I was told that my power steering pump and gaskets were bad. Upon further investigation it wasn’t neither. It was the power steering hose that goes from the power steering to the racket pinion. Both of the hoses had holes in them and were rusted out. Here Hyundai upgraded the power steering pump because of problems and I was never notified about the upgrade and you cannot purchase the hoses needed you have to purchase a whole new power steering pump that I don’t need. The airbag light is on and I couldn’t even order the airbag it was on back order when asked. The seat belt on the right passenger side in the back will not lock in place due to I don’t know what. Campaign 947 the under body corrosion treatment didn’t protect what it was suppose to causing my frame and control arms to go bad. I have had to replace upper and lower ball joints more than 4-5 times since I purchase this vehicle new from the dealership.

I was driving on a road approaching a right turn to enter into my neighborhood that has a 3 way intersection where only cars exiting the neighborhood have a stop sign. I turned my right turn signal on as I began to slow down and approach the turn (without stopping as there is no stop sign for my path). As I was about 1/4 way into the turn, an alert for either lane keep assist or driver assistance warning appeared and the steering wheel suddenly could not turn and I was forced to drive straight. Luckily, there was no car waiting at the stop sign or I would have hit them. I hit the brakes and was on the wrong side of the road pointed towards the curb. I saw multiple error messages for lane keep assist and drivers assisted warning but could still not turn the wheel. I slowly drove the car forward, wrestling the wheel to turn enough so I could park on the wrong side of the road. I tried putting the car in park and then drive again but it did not help. I turned the car off and on and the errors cleared and I could turn the wheels again. I then proceeded to slowly start driving home and less than 1/4 mile later as I was rounding a gentle curve (I did not use any turn signals), the same error occurred and I suddenly could not turn the wheel so I slammed the brakes and stopped in the middle of the road. I again turned the car off and on to reset and proceeded to drive the remaining 1/4 mile home and park in my driveway. I immediately contacted the Hyundai dealer and was recommended to have the car towed to the local dealer as it was unsafe to drive. Upon towing the car to the closest dealer, I was able to back the car off the tow truck and park it. While parking, the steering locked up again and I took the attached pictures of the error messages and showed the technician. The dealers in the area all indicated they were so backed up they could not diagnose the car immediately. I called Hyundai to open a case. It has been 2 weeks and they still have not diagnosed the car.

Steering has clicking noise when turning. I believe this is related to the mdps (motor driven power steering) flexible rubber coupler. Similar issue exists for certain model of Hyundai sonata and elantra, which resulted in extended warranty. Https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2017/mc-10110926-9999. Pdf I believe the issue is the same part that Hyundai offered extended warranty on. I feel excessive vibration on the steering wheel during 70mph speed on a highway and going over bumps. I feel unsafe driving my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe sport with this issue. Please investigate. Thanks!.

The car has a steering defect. The defect causes the car to wonder from lane to lane requiring the driver to constantly make corrections. This is especially dangerous when you are between two vehicles. The car has been back to the dealer numerous times and they state that there is no problem with the steering. Hyundai national claims claims that the defect does not exist.

When im driving down the road and the slightest bump is on yhe side of the road, the truck feels like its not connected to the framing or the wheels or something because when I hit the bump it jerks the wheels to the right and that's the only side it does it on and it does it so abruptly at times it almost pushes me into another car or it jerks the steering wheel out of my hands. Im not sure if theres a recall thats causing this or not but my mom has a vehicle like mine but a 2011 model and hers does the same thing on the right side.

These Hyundai's & kia's are being stolen left & right across the nation. . . . Hyundai needs to fix our vehicle with an alarm system. We haven't heard anything!!! we owe on the car and if it gets stolen or ruined, we still will have to pay on this vehicle. Also, on top of it all, it will be ruined; and from what we see on tv, they can't even get the parts to fix them. Our SUV is not worth anything now due to those stealing these vehicles because of the tic toc videos. Those videos should be banned anyway and taken off so no one else can learn to do this horrible theft. If we can ever get another vehicle, it won't be a Hyundai. This has made us very upset that we haven't heard anything from Hyundai nor there seems to be nothing happening regarding this issue. Why isn't the government pressuring this company? we don't see anything being done.

While driving the car experienced a catastrophic engine failure as well as loss of steering and brakes. Was able to get to the side of the road without injury. This could have resulted in injury or loss of life if the drivetrain would have locked up. The vehicle is at the dealer now, after a 250-mile tow. The dealer said that they have eight cars at their dealership with the same blown engine issue. No warning lights came on prior to the incident.

The engine throttles while accelerating and leaks oil and a burning smell comes from under the hood. The smell passes through the air vents and fills the car. I am afraid it might catch fire under the hood. The suspension makes noise and can also feel on the steering wheel. I will appreciate the company if they take safety measures in fixing this issue.

I received a notice of recall on the abs for my Hyundai Santa Fe 2014 sport. My abs light recently illuminated, I went to the Hyundai site to make an appt. I was given one a week out, while waiting for the appt my brake lights wouldn’t turn off unless I disconnected the battery. I took the vehicle to the dealership in brevard FL, the guy kept trying to upsell me $180 for diagnostics and that I had to pay it for every light on. Which I explained had all happened since the abs light. I was there for 4 hours and I asked him to fix the abs he didn’t said he didn’t have time and I had to reschedule. I had to wait another week, I took it to a friend who is a certified mechanic. He put it on his diagnostic computer and it kept coming back with abs code. Said he couldn’t do the brakes until that was fixed. Went back this week, didn’t ask me anything when I pulled in, not even an hour later said my vehicle was done come get it. He handed me a quote of $1300 for brakes. I asked if I paid that would it fix the abs he said no, but ur vehicle is not safe to drive. I explained I know, it wasn’t safe last week and you didn’t help me. I was able to get my vehicle to nearby brake-shop. I explained everything that happen, they also ran diagnostics and said it was abs that they couldn’t fix it either until the dealership fixed the abs. Now my vehicle is stuck at brake-shop and I just started a new job and have already had to miss two days work. I am completely dumbfounded as to why I am getting the run around and no one wants to help. I deplore having to complain, however it feels as though there is no more customer service/satisfaction.

While I was driving home, I went to make a turn and I heard a cracking noise and it felt like the steering wheel went one way and the frame was going the opposite way. I drove very slowly to a service station and when they looked at it they said they couldn't believe I drove the car without getting into an accident, they said the car was undrivable because the frame broke, they went on to say it was due to rust. I'm a 2nd owner and when I called the Hyundai corporate headquarters they informed me there was a recall #947 Santa Fe underbody corrosion. I was told I should've received the recall when I received the new registration, I never received the recall, where do I stand with getting my car repaired, is Hyundai responsible to do the repair, I left a message with the service group at the dealership and haven't received a response yet.

On February 14, 2023 while driving steering wheel broke (steering component failed) and had to stop at nearest repair station and was told not safe to drive. It was making clicking noise when turning wheel and backing out of a parking space. Next day had it towed to Hyundai and said the steering component in dashboard fell and metal crash bar was completely broken. They suggested I go through my insurance company because they didn’t know how it happened and said it was from a road hazard or pot hole I hit, but that was not the case and the insurance investigator did not see any signs of a collision and said it was probably a faulty part. What concerns me most is that if I was driving at high speeds on a highway it could have been very dangerous to loose my steering and cause a bad accident. I’m not sure how long my steering wheel was broken because I did hear noises but just thought it was the steering adjustment bar wasn’t in the lock position. It’s very disturbing to think I could have gotten killed. Hyundai doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge that it could be a manufacturer default and a safety issue on there part because the car is out of warranty. They don’t what to tell me what caused the problem of the steering column to fall and the metal bar to break. I’m the original owner and the car is kept in excellent condition with no neglect for this safety issue to happen for no apparent reason is very concerning. The repair fix the problem will cost $5,000. I did research the issue and found that there was a safety recall for faulty steering columns on 2017 Santa Fe models and could cause a bad accident. I would like to report this issue and find out if anyone else reported the issue with their 2013 model. I would like to know if the following recall on the 2017 Hyundai santafe could be somehow connected to my steering column issue: recall 173. Nhtsa campaign number: 18v11800.

La guagua a tenido problemas con el tren delantero. Comenzó con un sonido en el guía. La Hyundai le reparo esa pieza y luego continuó con el mismo ruido. Ahora tienen que cambiarle el rack and piñogn. Mi guagua tiene solo 19,750 millas creo que vino mala DE fábrica.

I have noticed for the past year that my steering column feels loose. It makes a popping noise and really makes noise on rough pavement. I feel like the steering wheel is just gonna come off into my hands. It's very loose to turn and you can feel the pops within the steering wheel. I took my car to local repair shop and they told me there was a recall and that I should take to dealer. I called dealer but my VIN # is not listed within the actual recall. However I read the recall itself and that is what is happening to my Hyundai. It makes no sense that my exact VIN # would not be included in recall since I am having that problem.

This is the second time my 2019 Hyundai santa has suddenly veer right out of the lane. The error message was bac active. The dashboard turned red and the vehicle shook for a few seconds. I'm scheduled to take it back to the dealer. I have problems with the engine making noise and have been told the noise is normal.

The car started to make a clicking sound coming from the steering wheel whether straight or turning. The wheel was shaking and there was some wiggle with steering. I was hours from home and did not feel safe driving the vehicle. Left it at a non-Hyundai repair shop. Was told the next day it was an issue with the plastic coupler in the steering column and Hyundai had a recall on it. Drove it home and brought it to my local dealer where we have all our repairs done. Was told there's no recall. After reading the exact same complaint by so many people on here and other online places I was shocked there was no recall for this issue. Others have stated Hyundai did recalls on some of their other vehicles for just this part/problem.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated while driving 25 mph, the steering wheel began to turn independently to the left and right. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to park the vehicle on the side of the road and she stated to smell a burning odor. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

While driving the crash avoidance emergency braking came on out of nowhere, and the steering locked up. I was driving on a straight and level roadway with no vehicles in front of me when suddenly the whole dash lit up with warning lights and the car, a 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe, came to a emergency stop, the steering wheel was shaking and wouldn't turn. This was the second time this happened. The first time on 09/29/22 I called the car dealer and was told that "they knew of the problem and that there was no remedy". This is extremely dangerous, both times it happened while I was driving on a highway at a steady speed, thankfully the roadway was dry if it had been raining I would have probably crashed.

Whenever I hit a bump on the side of the road, the truck jerks really badly and if im not grasping the steering wheel with all my strength, it will jerk me off the highway from the bump making the entire car go off the road. Also, each bump I hit, I hear a very very loud metal on metal knocking sound from the right passenger side of the tire area. Not sure if it is a strut assembly or engine mount that wasn't correctly bolted down during manufacturing. Also, when I press the gas pedal, it sounds as if theres some type of cable thats being stripped or something. And whenever I am holding the steering wheel straight and firmly, the truck automatically has a mind of its on at times and will jerk the car to the right or to the left while im holding the wheel still. All mechanics have said that they don't see anything wrong with it but there's obviously something wrong with it and I am scared to drive it. It has got to be a manufacturers defect on those components of the vehicle. Please remedy this or replace my vehicle with one of the same or lesser valued cars . This truck is going to end up killing me or someone else or both . . . Thanks.

Electric power steering failed after starting car and beginning drive. No power assist was present. Concurrent with this failure the instrument panel displayed warnings that blind spot detection system and lane keeping system were not working and needed attention. Codes for the later 2 problems were sent to central computer, but no power steering error code was sent. Disconnecting battery from car nor turning car off and on had no effect on errors. Let car set idle for 3 days. Restarted car and all problems were gone. Taking car to dealer on 9/20/22 in attempt to prevent future reoccurrence.

I live in roy city utah and I drive a Santa Fe 2001 and my trailing arm in the rear driver side snaped while I was going 45 mph. When I took it in to a shop to have it looked at they said that my trailing arm had snaped do to the rust corrision under the car. I know that there are recalls on the Santa Fe for the rear suspention trailing arms but only if you live in a salt belt state and utah is not one of those states and I think it should be because of the salt we use on our roads as well as I live 20 mins from the great salt lake . I have bearly had my car 5 months befor it broke I paid 2000. 00$ for it. I guess I didnt fully understand the saltbelt state thing and I called young hayndai in ogden utah and they called a tow truck and had my car towed to the dealer ship they had it like 12 days or something befor they diganosed it. When they said that its not on recal because of the salt belt state thing they are trying to charg me 274. 00$ just for them to tell me what I already knew was wrong with it and for the towtruck. Because of my broken car I just had lost 2 highpaying jobs and I have no money to pay the dealership so they said that I cant have my car till I pay them then they said that they can only hold my car for 10 days . Idont know what to do cause my Santa Fe was not only my only ride but its where I lived. So now im back to sleeping in the street and I dont know where or what the dealership has done with my car. Please help me and order a recall on my Santa Fe because of the rust from living utah and all the salt here. Thanks for your time.

I have a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe sport that burns an exsessive amounts of oil. I do alot of driving maybe around 36 miles a day. Every two weeks another oil change is needed. Bought this vechle in 2017 with only 20,000 miles on it the everytime I goes to jiffy lube it shows that the engine was supposed to be replaced. There has been multiple problems with this vechile since day one of having it. I never gotten a notice about this information. Hyundai has been called numerous of times concerning this matter. The engine was never replaced oil still burning really fast. Its causing a lot of time and money. I dont think any of the problems were taken care of.

Car's power steering has suddenly stopped working twice while I was driving. -- first time occurred on 7/24/2022. I was driving approximately 30 mph at the time. I was able to retain control of car and safely park. When steering stopped working, steering light illuminated red. I also got warnings about lane-keeping assist and blind spot detection features. According to Hyundai customer portal, car recorded the following dtcs (diagnostic trouble codes): -- * c168886 (system: chassis; sub-system: lkas) * c240162 (system: chassis; sub-system: eps) -- after I turned car off and back on twice, warnings cleared and power steering started working again. -- I had car transported to nearest dealership. -- dealership's service department investigated and indicated the following: -- scanned system for codes found history codes c240162 motor ciruit c16886 mdps c168881 mdps signal c168808 mdps signal history. -- their corrective action was as follows: -- checked ground connection for mdps. Good. Found loose connection at driver's left foot kick panel loose. Cleared codes and test drove vehicle 3 miles operating normally -- however, when I picked up car on 7/29/2022, immediately after exiting dealership's parking lot (while driving at low speed), power steering suddenly stopped working a second time. There were similar warnings (probably about lane-keeping assist and blind spot detection features again), but Hyundai customer portal shows no dtcs this time. -- I returned car to dealership's service department for them to investigate further. -- sidebar: a coolant line in car's engine compartment was replaced in June 2022 due to rodent damage. When dealership was first looking at this steering issue, I reminded them of that occurrence and requested that they consider possible rodent damage to electrical system as a cause of the steering issue. They did not notice any such damage.

On delivery the vehicle pulled to the left on the highway. Vehicle returned to dealer next day and 4 wheel alignment supposedly done. Car no longer pulled to left. Vehicle seemed very unstable in wet weather but owner assumed it was ok. At 3000 miles owner discovered all 4 tires wearing severely while adjusting tire pressures. Called dealer and dealership wanted a month to get back into service dept. Took vehicle to a local tire dealership for wheel alignment check. Front tires toe was -2 degrees. Rear tires plus 1. 7 degrees. Owner parked vehicle when driving in icy weather became too dangerous as vehicle would try to spin out without driver input. Alignment assumed to be off from factory and dealer staff only corrected what they thought was wrong with front tires instead of doing a full re-alignment.

I have a steering coupler failure on a 2014 Santa Fe with 67k miles. Hyundai has already recalled the steering coupler in the elantra and sonata models, however this same part is used across multiple models including the Santa Fe and azera. My family is forced to replace this on a 2014 Santa Fe and 2013 azera. The defective part causes a heavy clunking in the steering column which could lead to an accident. Below is the recall notice. Https://autoservice. Hyundaiusa. Com/txx7/micrositetemplate/micrositetemplatevinvalidate/2687 the part being replaced is below, which as you can see is across multiple models. Mdps flexible coupling replacement 56315- 2k000-fff applicable vehicles: 2010~2014 sonata (yfa), 2011~2014 sonata hybrid (yf hev) 2007~2017 elantra (hd, MD/ud), 2009~2012 elantra touring (fd), 2013~2014 elantra gt (gd), 2013~2014 elantra coupe (jk) 2013~2018 Santa Fe (nc) 2012~2017 azera (hg) 2012~2017 veloster (fs) I wanted to report this to ensure that the government agency responsible knows that this part is used in more than 2 models. This is a common complaint against Hyundai if you read online about their complaints. It is unsafe and unfair for other models to not be included in this recall.

While traveling at approximately 60mph I decelerated to make a left turn through a busy intersection (evening rush hour traffic). While decelerating, I felt the car give a "shudder" at which point I looked to the dash to see the check engine light blinking, then the battery light illuminated. At this point, while passing through the intersection turning left, the engine shut off, as well as the power steering. The car coasted through the intersection and came to a stop barely out of the crossing lane. It would not restart and I was forced to push the car with my family inside to a safer position. Prior to this event there had been no drivability issues, no other times that warning lights had come on. The only issue of note that I have had for this vehicle is a seemingly excessive amount of engine oil being consumed. The car is at a dealership now and I am told that the engine needs to be replaced, with no explanation for the failure.

While driving the steering wheel stutters and moves the vehicle all over the road. Does this at all speeds. Worse was on the interstate and I nearly ran off the road at 70 mph. Dealer says the vehicle needs a new steering column on March 3, 2022. Under 40,000 miles. This is not due to normal wear and tear or operator use. They claim this is not a warranty issue or recall. This vehicle is unsafe to drive.

Hyundai has a problem with the steering coupler in numerous vehicles, including our Santa Fe. Problem is caused by deterioration of the plastic coupler between the electric power assist motor and the steering column. Hyundai has not recalled this item on other Hyundai models, but is doing an extended service repair for 15 years unlimited mileage if you bring it in and ask for it to be fixed. However, they are not doing this for the Santa Fe, as they say "they are not seeing a problem with this model", even though it has the same defective part that is being replaced in other Hyundai models. My vehicle is showing signs of this defect and has a definite "bad spot" in the steering when you drive the vehicle. It is very dangerous and will lead to loss of steering control if it is not fixed as soon as possible. However, Hyundai, at the dealership level and at the Hyundai north american level refuses to acknowledge that there is a problem with the Santa Fe, using the same parts as the other models that they admit have a defect. There have been no repairs of modifications to the steering system of this vehicle. It was purchased new and used as a daily driver since purchase in may of 2013.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? warnings appeared on the instrument panel at the same time the power steering would go out and I would not be able to safely steer the car. This happened on 4-5 occasions. These are the various warnings that would appear: check lane following assist system check blind spot safety system check driver attention warning system how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? not being able to steer was very concerned and happened to me while driving on a busy highway at one point. I could barely steer the car well enough to get it to the shoulder. I had to cross 4 lanes of traffic during rush hour. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I had it towed to the dealer the final time it happened. They stated that it is a problem with the power steering module has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? crossroads Hyundai of loveland inspected the vehicle were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no, not until the moment the issue occurred. The strangest part of the issue is that after I would pull over and stop the vehicle, I would clean the sensors on outside of the car and on then restart the car and then sometimes it would work again. It seemed to happen on days that there was poor weather or messy roads that would impede the sensors' abilities.

At 118,000 miles downhill brake, transmission and 4 wheel drive were damaged from the Hyundai dealership not fullfilling warranty. They disconnected my tow hitch and my transmission was burning . . Smelled like a bon fire. Took me 1 year to repair and have transmission changed through warranty but they didnt change the other components that were damaged due to negligence from the Hyundai dealership. The dealership was very rude and didnt dedication their attention or care to truly finding what was wrong with my vehicle.

(service brakes, hydraulic, exterior lighting, recall started in 4-1-2013, recall #13v113000. Car was brought to authorized dealer on the same occasion as mentioned below and told the vehicle did not need that repair performed. ) (air bags : frontal sensor/control module, recall started 7-24-2012, recall #12v354000. Car was nbrought to authorized retailer and told Hyundai no longer makes the part in order to resolve this issue. ) there are 5-6 different lights, all of which are mentioned for the recalls as stated above and seems to be a solvable issue. I just don't want to learn one day that my husbands cruise control did not disengage and he collided head on full speed. Hyundai needs to to start producing the part in order to fix the cars or recall them all together for fear of multiple lawsuits. Photo evidence of dash lights and screenshots of recalls can be provided upon request.

I own a Hyundai Santa Fe 2013 GLS, at about 78,000miles. There is currently a loud clicking noise that occurs when you turn the steering wheel, also steering wheel vibration when you apply the brakes. There is a play when you turn the steering, from my review and research, it is caused by a disintegrated rubble coupler in the steering motor. I called Hyundai customer support, and also when to the dealership, and I was told that it is not covered under warranty. This seems to be common problem with a number of Hyundai cars. I expect that Hyundai to announce a recall on this as its a safety issue, rather, they don't seem to care.

Pulling out of a parking lot onto a street, when engine revved uncontrolled and did not respond to braking and steering, (pulled to the right). Impact with utility pole. Fortunate that there were no injuries. Vehicle is not drivable and has not been inspected by insurance or dealer as yet. No warning lamps.
