general problems of the 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe

Rear subframe suddenly collapsed and broke due to extreme corrosion. Incident occurred while driving, allowing rear wheel to turn out causing loss of control. Luckily I was traveling at a low rate of speed and nobody was hurt. Found rear subframe was completely rotten out and collapsed on the driver side. Vehicle is now completely undrivable and has to be towed. Found that there was a recall/service program from Hyundai (campaign #947) and my vehicle was affected. I called my local dealership to schedule an inspection appointment regarding the recall. Dealership told me I had to call Hyundai customer care. I called customer care on Tuesday and my claim was escalated. The representative told me that I would be contacted by Hyundai within two days. I have not received any correspondence from the case manager. Called Hyundai customer care once more and the representative told me that they can't contact claims representatives directly and I would have to wait until they decide to call me.

When my daughter returned home from college this summer I took her Santa Fe to a local shop for an oil change and other preventive maintenance. During the vehicle safety inspection, the mechanic noted the subframe and front suspension components were failing due to excessive corrosion and the Santa Fe was not safe to drive. My question is about the effectiveness of campaign 947 - underbody corrosion prevention service. The countermeasure to the Hyundai subframe rusting issue appears to have not been an effective action to prevent the subframe's failure. The corrosion preventive service was completed on our Santa Fe on Feb 13, 2018. Given the amount of corrosion on our Santa Fe, the service campaign was not effective, and the subframe failed due to corrosion. Both the independent shop and the Hyundai dealer indicated that the failed subframe would eventually lead to a catastrophic failure and possible loss of control of the vehicle. Given my daughter drives the Santa Fe from home to school on i70 I am glad the failure was identified early so the car could be repaired and prevent an accident.

Engine will randomly cut off and it would do that even when in drive like it wasnt getting gas. The dash board would light then continue going would start right back away and has done that ever since. I purchased it I also had the O2 censor replaced as well. The tires are awful the suspension. Electrical problems I have to hit my headlight to come on before I leave when it's dark. Sometimes when I first start driving it pulls me to the right not like wheel balancing . But pulld then back to driving . One last thing I went in for recall update or something. The mechanic say hell do the update and drive the car if it has a problem going in drive they had to replace a sensor or something my car wouldn't move they were going to fix it and give me a loaner car . The guy said let me try something he did then the car started to drive. They were supposed to replace something and didn't. My engine light came on and stayed on I complained to him he just cleared the code it came back on and has been on every since. I told him it want on before I got here he said well it wasn't from anything they did. But it was.

Front coil spring rotted and broke while driving vehicle. 2007-2011 vehicles had recall for this but the 2012 did not. Broke after 115k miles which is not excessive.

Loud noise, front right, right front axle box. Also 3 warning lights are on including abs,.

Noticed my vehicle was pulling to the right and just felt wrong when I drove, took it to a mechanic to check the alignment and brakes (because it was time for pads). The mechanic was shocked to find the strut on the passenger side had rusted and broken completely. Hyundai was going to charge me to check it out and repair because I was outside of my warranty. The mechanic told me to check for a recall since it was not a common issue, there was not a recall so he suggested I file a complaint.

Front springs rusted, call recalled due to undercarriage rust, rub against tire, very dangerous hyndai of turnersville has vehicle now waiting to see if Hyundai corporate will fix this issue free of charge.

The front coils of the vehicle were totally deteriorated and could have led to an accident. I noticed that earlier models were recalled due to this same condition. I paid ~2k to have this problem fixed and the garage stated the coils should have lasted to 120k miles. Hyundai has subsequently issued extended warrantees for their elantra vehicles of which we own one. I am concerned that this defect could affect more cars than Hyundai has identified similar to the engine recall situation that was recently repaired.
