Engine Belts And Pulleys problems of the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe

Front corner of valve cover is leaking oil onto my alternator causing it to become saturated with oil and electrical shutdown. The same oil is spreading all around my drive belt from the alternator and saturating all pullies and the entire drive belt as well. I am having problems charging my battery electrical shutdowns on the highway and with other components such as steering, a/c and belt not wanting to grip the pullies that it rides on. Very dangerous. Numerous complaints simular to the same exact engine on the Hyundai crossover that has the same engine type but was recalled to fix. Why are Santa Fe owners left out of this recall if it is the same exact enging as the crossover that was recalled and fixed.

The drive axel broke while the car was doing approximately 5 mph. When it broke, the ball joint pulled out of the right side wheel, a piece of metal flew up and tore the serpentine belt. There is a recall #112 for the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe that the drive axel can break but I was told it does not affect my car. How does the drive axel just break. The recall affects the front right axel. Prior to it breaking, I was going down i70 at 70mph, thankfully, it didn't break at that time.

2007 Santa Fe limited 6 cyl 3. 3l. Oil is leaking from valve cover gasket killing the alternator and battery and the motor. Lights flash on dash seat belt light, battery light, esc , tpms. Replaced battery in the dark at first. I saw the same issues with a new battery. Then researched and saw similar issues pointing to valve cover gasket leaking oil onto alternator. I checked the valve cover in the light and saw the leak immediately and the alternator covered in oil. If the 2007 vera cruz is getting a recall for this exact same issue as of Aug 1st 2014, then the 2007 Santa Fe should as well as other years of Santa Fe's. Dealership wants $900 plus tax to fix this. Also had to replace the fuel sending unit -that was $700 in Jan of 2013 and there are tons of complaints about that one too. I still smell gas when I fill the tank full and the check engine light comes on due to this. I can and have proven it using a obd code reader to reset the code, fill the tank and bingo code is back like the fuel cap is loose but it is not and the interior smells of gasoline till the fuel level is reduced.

As I was driving is a rain storm, my battery light came on. I lost my window defrosting capability, my lights dimmed and I had no power steering. I am not sure what else was affected at this time as I was just concentrating on getting home alive. When home, I opened the engine compartment and found that the crank shaft pulley had come apart. Lucky, it was laying on a small ledge in the car. This could have fallen off, damaged the engine compartment, fallen to the street and become a rolling piece of metal. If a woman had been driving(this is actually my girlfriends car), this would have been a dangerous situation.

The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that the serpentine belt failed, which caused the power steering to malfunction. The vehicle was towed to a repair facility. The contact was told that the belt was not under warranty, but the owners manual stated that the belt should last for 67,000 miles. The current mileage was 37,000 and the failure mileage was unavailable.

I own a 2007 Santa Fe Hyundai. My power system went out about three months ago. Luckily, I had just left the grocery store and was still in the parking lot. My car at the time had 26,334 miles on it. At first I thought it was the battery, but I had someone jump start my car, and after I drove it about three feet, I knew something was wrong. I couldn't steer it and coasted to a stop by a wendy's restaurant. I called my son and when he lifted the hood, he saw a round part just hanging there. I had to have my car towed to a dealer in waldorf, maryland. Apparently, the damper pulley came apart. They replaced damper pulley and belt. I was under warranty, but I still worry about it happening again every time I have to drive it on a main highway and in a lot of traffic.
