7-18/2017 car brought to auto nation in brunswick GA for engine recall check. Car was returned to owner without ever testing engine as requested. It was not disclosed to customer that engine was not checked. 4 days later on 7/22/2017 driver going 70 mph on hwy 95 in jacksonville engine starting making knocking noise and ceased up completely turning off. Driver barely made it off to the side of the road. To make matters worse Hyundai roadside assistance charged driver $174 to tow vehicle to nearest dealership.
When taking off from stop or traffic signal, making left turn, vehicle rear end ( sounds like rear end or awd) makes thumping, slipping, bumping noise which can be felt through out vehicle. First noticed about 3000 miles. Thought it may be a normal condition for an awd vehicle, but the condition has progressively gotten worse! taken to dealer 2 time now, they state they can not find any problem, they replaced the trans fluid, the rear diff fluid, but it is still getting worse! service manager went for ride with me after stating he could not feel the condition on vehicle, but he only drove vehicle in parking lot of dealership. I told him it happens when turning at lights or stop signs. . . He was driving straight. On our test drive together, he definitely felt what I was talking about, asked his shop forman to get in vehicle with us, he felt the condition as well, but said he did not know what it could be. They kept vehicle for 2 days, replaced transmission fluid, read differential fluid and a few other items, gave vehicle back, and asked me to see if doing this helped rectify the problem. . . . . It has not, contacted Hyundai, got a claim #, and was told to take vehicle to another dealership to have them look at vehicle. . . . Vehicle currently has 9000 miles and just turned 1 year old since new. We bought this Santa Fe to replace a 2008 that had similar trans/awd issues, that left us stranded 3 times on the side of I-95 (trans & awd blew up on us driving to florida keys on I-95 at 70 mph) in fall of 2012. . . . . After dealer in jacksonville attempted repairs from first breakdown. Unfortunately, florida does not sell awd vehicles, and apparently they do not know how to fix these things.
