Husband was driving my Santa Fe sport 2013 on the highway when the car just died, 97,000 miles on the car, no warning at all. No engine lights or anything. Took to a mechanic, said the engine seized and will need to be replaced. Also said there was no oil in the vehicle, even though it was not due for an oil change yet. He said they couldn't find a reason for there to be no oil, proper maintenance has been completed on this vehicle. Had it towed to the dealership, waiting to see if it is under warranty, but I am sure they will try to find a reason not to pay to have it fixed. Second problem with this car in the last 3 months. The fuel pump went out less than three months ago and had to be replaced. Will not buy Hyundai again.
I own a 2013 Santa Fe and I have had several issues with it, the engine being replaced due to failing while driving on the highway, it was serviced with a few other items dealer found to be needed for some recalls. But none I can recall for sure was regarding the engine itself, will need to check service records. Then later it was the fuel pump(injector) need to verify specifics, but gas fumes and smoke coming from the engine and this was replaced, then later again had to take in again for repair due to service error of tubing being bent ect when installed, noticed the high amount of gas fumes and smoke from the engine and into the cabin. This was a few months ago, then Nov 9 2018 my car caught fire and was destroyed by flames. I had just seconds to pull the car over and put in park, grab my 6 year old son and get out before flames covered the entire engine then the entire car. I was in my neighborhood and pulled over on the side of the street. I would like to start an investigation regarding this matter, I fear I and my son could have died due to this known and neglected issue these Santa Fe's have been having. I have had the car serviced at the dealership so I will be able to supply the service reports and the case number for the williamson county sheriff report of the fire and other documents needed. My cell 512-635-4955 please leave a message if I miss your call and email instructions and or information needed to move forward.
Check engine light comes on, obd-ii trouble code p0087: fuel rail/system pressure - too low. High-pressure fuel pump failure and needs to be replaced. I experienced the symptoms of p0087: rough running, poor acceleration on the high way, and hard starting.
There are two separate incidents where I experienced complete engine failure in my sante fe sport 2. 0t. Invoice number � 359131 first occurred at 47,031 miles. On February 16, 2017 I was driving my vehicle with my son on the freeway when the check engine light appeared and my vehicle began jerking and making a loud clicking tapping sound slowing me down almost immediately. I lost power in my steering, vehicle was hard to maneuver. Hyundai attempted to repair the problem returned my vehicle and charged me partially for repair. Made contact with them about repair being a misdiagnosis as they first blamed the incident on air filter, serpentine belt, spark plugs, fuel injector cleaning, they replaced my fuel pump and engine block at no cost but charged me the other items. Work order number 201868 the second incident occurred at 50,897 miles on July 14, 2017 I was traveling across states from el paso, texas to colorado springs, colorado with my 5 yr old son and my husband. We were traveling north on highway I-25 when our vehicle began to lose power and starting making the loud vibrations and tapping sounds like it had done the first time about 3,000 miles ago when I had the engine replaced. We were over taking a semi truck on the road when this happened we were barely able to recover our lane and pull off to the side of the road as we slowed down almost immediately the semi was able to brake and avoid rear ending us. We were stranded in the middle of nowhere about an hour away from alburquerque, new mexico. This was terrifying for my family and I. We had very little time to react and find a safe place to pull over. I believe my vehicle was not inspected properly through their quality control personnel. If there is debris inside my engine and it has continuously presented itself it will eventually travel through the rest of my engine ex. Turbo seals bearings.
Engine stalls while driving at slow speeds and at highway speeds. Rpms go to zero. Been in shop twice - once cant duplicate problem, 2nd time replaced fuel pump near gas tank. Currently in shop for same problem.
