This complaint is in reference to my 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe. Approximately in the month of may 2010, I began noticing problems with my vehicle's electrical system that were numerous in distinction. To summarize a list of the problems, I will begin with the door locks on the vehicle. During the incident in may 2010, I attempted to unlock my vehicle with the portable lock/unlock/alarm keypad and for some odd reason the pad would only unlock the driver side door. I got in my vehicle and started the car while I ran inside to get some things to bring home with me. When I came back out, all the doors were locked on the car so I had to have my brother-in-law take me back to my house to get my spare key to rectify the problem. After this incident, I began noticing a medley of electrical problems with the car. The compass that use to read out on my overhead dome light stopped working. The blower fan for the heating/cooling system began to work erratically. With the fan set to off, it would still come on despite that fact. For example, if it is set to off and I put my vehicle in reverse, the fan more often than not switches on until I put the car back into drive. I also began having and issue with my abs brakes. Now this could be that I need to have the sensors cleaned, but I figured I'd mention it nonetheless. My abs system frequently kicks in even on a dry, sunny day. It's sporadic when it does this, so it's impossible for me to gauge when the next incident may happen. Nonetheless, this is the most dangerous of the problems because I have almost rear-ended another vehicle numerous times due to my brakes not being engaged properly. I've called Hyundai to see if there were any recalls regarding my vehicle in this matter and they informed me that there had been not.
