Car engine is over heating car engine locked up care engine manufacturer recall needs to be requested on all 2013 Hyundai sante fe 2. 0t model vehicles this is a safety risk to all customers driving this model.

I bought the vehicle 2 months ago, and 2 weeks ago, I noticed the car was shaking when I applied the brakes. The engine light came on and I took it to the shop, and was told I needed a new engine.
When the cruise control shuts down, the tachometer cuts out and the vehicle seems to go into limp mode. Brightening or dimming the headlights causes an intermittent bright flash to the interior lights. This could be potentially dangerous seeing as you have no acceleration, which could cause very extensive damage to person and property. The intermittent bright flash could be a result of an unregulated power surge, which could cause damage to person and property.
Car burned oil putting 2 quarts back in it every week/ topping it off. Oil light doesn't indicate oil is getting low and or does it come on. Left side of steering wheel controls don't work at all. What's the point of the bluetooth if you cant use the important part of the function that's supposed to help. Both in motion and stationary.

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS low beam very dim ( having to use high beams contentiously)dealership states can not find problem, checked wiring harness ohms out correctly(12 volts )have replaced bulbs many time manufactured recommended. Have researched internet and Hyundai form many owners are having similar issues on other modals as well. This has become a serious safety issues as well as cost, there has been no response from Hyundai about this issues. Is there a corrective action for this problem?.
Driving down the street and all the interior lights come as well as th rear tailgate unlocks this is very dangerous.
Driving visibility during darkness and/or rainy conditions is significantly reduced due to dim and low beam direction of said vehicle making driving with high beams the only way to safely drive at night.
I recently bought my wife a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe sport 2. 0t. After having the car for several days I noticed that it did not have daytime running lights. I checked the owners manual and it said that some models had them. The car I bought was the top of the line model so I felt that the car should have them. I called the dealer and they checked their inventory and said that this model does not have them. I thought that all cars had them. I consider this to be a serious safety issue. ## VIN failed.
