general problems of the 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe

My SUV was involved in a roll over accident. The front driver tire blew out causing the driver to hit the curb which caused the SUV to roll 4 times. The driver was ejected from the vehicle while wearing a seat belt and not one air bag deployed. Major safety issues.

My car has a recall, and the dealership is unable to fix it. There is also an issue with the oem control module that they are unable to get the part and unable to fix this because they do not have the correct software.

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for a recall notification of NHTSA campaign number’s: 21v936000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 12v354 (air bags). The dealer diagnosed the vehicle that the brake stop switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the contact stated that while driving, the tire pressure monitoring system, measuring system, passenger seat belt and the esc indicator warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the valve cover gasket and alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

On 9/26/2017 at 3:55 p. M. I was involved in a single car rollover accident. I was traveling on hwy 97 in California at approximately 55-60 mph. No more than 10 miles outside the city of weed. I hit something in the road or blew a tire. The car first went left and then right. The breaks felt as though they locked. When the car hit an asphalt curb it went airborne (there were no guard rails) and went into a small embankment. The vehicle rolled but landed upright. None of the airbags deployed. I also believe the seatbelt did not lock as it is supposed to when a crash occurs. I say that because the right side my head hit the roof of the vehicle and I received a large hematoma. Initially I thought it was because the roof had caved in. When I saw the vehicle the next day it was the left side of the roof that had caved in. What also makes me believe there is a seatbelt issue is I was involved in a rollover in 1985 and did not suffer any head injuries as the seat belt kept me tightly in the seat.

2008 Hyundai Santa Fe. Consumer writes in regards to design flaw with airbag. The consumer stated the vehicle was involved in an accident causing the airbags to deploy. The propellant the deploys the airbag the contained a chemical that left the consumer with two second degree burns on the arm. Updated 09/18/2017.

Hyundai dealer said my ball joints were bad, $750. 00 for repairs, Hyundai has recall I was not notified. Drivers air bag illuminated, going in for repair Friday cost unknown. Again I was not notified about recall. I have to pay for repairs because I was not notified about recalls.

The 2008 Hyundai sante fe has a recall on faulty airbag clocksprings. Coincidentally my 2008 sante fe clock spring now needs to be replaced. The Hyundai service dealership and Hyundai costomer care tells me that I am not covered because my VIN is not listed in the "recall campaign" my confusion is I own a 2008 the recalls are for the 2008. . . . How do I get my car included in this "recall campaign"? please help. I will have to pay $400 to get this fixed when it should be under Hyundai faulty warranty. Please help the little guy/consumer!! thank you.

Campaign 103 recall. I have this exact problem with my 2008 Santa Fe but never recieved a recall notice.

My husband and I just purchased this 2008 Santa Fe GLS (used with 10,000 miles) about two weeks ago. We noticed this issue two days later. The passenger airbag will not turn on when I, a 120 lb, 5' 7", 31 year old adult female sit in the seat. I took it in to the Hyundai service center and was simply told that I was not heavy enough to activate the seat so there was nothing I could do. I was also told that it is set to activate for anyone over 110 lbs. I am definitely heavier than that. This seems to me to be a safety issue which should be resolved quickly as I have read of many other customers with similar issues.

2008 Hyundai Santa Fe passenger airbag works sporadically at best. Passenger weighs around 120 pounds and the light goes on and off leading me to believe that the airbag would not work effectively in an accident. Have taken to the dealer twice now and they were unable to replicate the problem. It appears that the sonota has been recalled for a very similar issue. This has occurred the at 50 miles vehicle currently has 600 miles.
