Issue 1) fuel sensor had to be replaced, one was done by me the other by mechanic. It stopped showing how much gas I had in tank so I had to guess. Seems to be a know. And recurring issue issue 2) headlights have all of a sudden stopped working, the high beamss work issue 3) the driver lock no longer works but others do and the gas door no longer unlocks from driver door so I have to use the emergency release to get at the tank. Issue 4) the latch for the hood is stuck open, this has been a known issue on another model from the same year. I can get mechanic records for fuel issue, that was about 1. 4 years ago. Headlights were yesterday and hood as of today. The door issue within last few months and gas door within 2 years.
The headlghts on low beam block out the top 1/3 of the headlight beam and 2/3 of the headlight beam when the car is going down hill. This eyebrow effect is not showing when the high beams are on. In addition when the low beams are in use, the myvision on both sides of the car is blocked out. This seems to be a common complaint which Hyundai will not address claming there is no fix since the lights are performing as designed. At this point in time they do not offer a remady. This eyebrow effect appears when the car is stationary or in motion but only on the low beams.
There's been issues with the fuel pump and pressure gauge. We've already had this problem repaired 4 times and still suspect there's a leak somewhere. We can smell gas in the vehicle while/after pumping and after the car has been driven. Also, there seems to be an electrical issue with the headlights when pressing on the brakes, while driving.
Air bag light came on and will not go off. Also, yesterday my check engine light came on and the fuel gauge stopped reading my fuel level. I have 90,100 miles on the vehicle today. Since I purchased the vehicle, my headlights are very dim. I am not sure if this was ever a concern for other models.
2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. Consumer states vehicle headlights have severely oxidized inside the plastic lens to the point where they have lost illumination.
I have had so many problems with my car. The first problem began years ago with the low beam headlights. I have to replace the headlights for both right and left side about 5 to 6 times per year. This can get very expensive especially if I were to get a ticket. The second problem are the rear tires. I noticed about two years ago that the tires get worn out much quicker than the others, so I'm constantly rotating them. Just recently, it has become worse. Just this year, I have replaced tires twice and have noticed that I need another set of tires. Have taken the car to a mechanic, but can not find anything wrong with the rear-end. The last issue that just happened a few months ago is the passenger visor. It suddenly fell out of its socket and eventually was hanging by its wires. After trying to put the visor back into its socket a few times, it eventually broke off. Have not ordered another yet. Didn't realize how expensive they are.
The contact stated while driving at any speed during the night, the headlights only provided 30 feet of illumination. After the 30 foot distance, there was a distinct shadow. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where the dealer adjusted the alignment of the headlights but the problem persisted.
