general problems of the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe - part 2

Takata recall. Religiously in for routine oil change and maintenance, not due for an oil change for 1200 more miles. The vehicle sat for 7 days while I was on vacation, ran fine before it sat. Drove the vehicle for 4 days after returning from vacation. About 6pm coming home from work, opposite from rush hour traffic. I suddenly heard slight ticking sound when I pressed on the gas to accelerate quickly getting on to the highway, I also noticed the rpms were high and not much power behind accelerating. Drove about 10-15 miles, ticking got louder when accelerating until there was a constant ticking and rattle in the front end. Parked the car let it sit for a night. Went to take it to the garage, upon starting the car there was ticking from under the hood, rattleling, and shaking, turned the vehicle right off. No check engine light, no low oil light, no dash notification lights light up indicating anything was wrong, temperature seemed normal. Popped the hood to check fliuds. Checked oil dipstick, dry as dry could be. No coolant, no oil. Have to have it towed to the dealership, afraid engine is shot! if I was to continue to drive the vehicle it could have seized up in the middle of the highway, causing an accident or loss of control. I am thankful my 17 year old was not behind the wheel. I am sure a heafty engine replacement bill is coming my way.

On Dec 18th driving on a county road outside of gunnison, CO my 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe sport was in motion and a clicking noise began in engine. After ~1 hr and after checking fluid levels a loud pop in the engine caused it to cease functioning while in motion (~45-55 mph) leaving my stranded in dangerously cold temperatures that night. I was forced to have the vehicle towed to dealership where, with no loaner cars and a 6 week wait on a new engine, was forced to purchase another vehicle from Hyundai with no explanation of what happened to the engine. A few weeks ago I received a notice from Hyundai corporate stating there is a known problem and a safety recall (NHTSA campaign number: 17v-226). It is clear that Hyundai knew of this problem and not only did not reimburse any expenses related to the engine issue and put me in a situation requiring me to purchase another vehicle from them.

After accelerating from a stop light, turning left onto a two lane 35mph road, the car seemed to downshift and would not respond to the accelerator. It continued to move forward at no more than 10-15mph jerking and lunging up a hill, causing a hazard for approaching cars. The awd light came on along with another light pertaining to the drivetrain/axle. We were able to continue a few hundred yards until a safe spot to pull over was found. The roadside assist tech suspected there may be water in the fuel system, however when loading the car onto the truck, noticed the jerking motion and insisted it should be brought in for inspection. In our first conversation with the mechanic he mentioned recalls on the vehicle. We said that we had just purchased the car after lease, 2 months prior, and during that process we asked about recalls and were told there were none.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that the vehicle rolled down the driveway without being prompted. The vehicle rolled over the contact's arm and caused second degree burns. Medical attention was required. The issue recurred, but the contact was able to depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle the second time. In addition, the contact stated that a passenger became trapped in the vehicle while it rolled down the driveway into the yard of another person's residence the first time. The vehicle was diagnosed, but the dealer could not repair the vehicle without it being inspected. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 59,000.

The steering wheel vibrate in every condition of road and the vehicle some times take to the left side.

I've had a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS for about six months (purchased new on 3/3/14). Several weeks ago around 8/22/14), when I tried to rapidly accelerate on to the interstate from the on ramp, the engine revved up to 8-9k rpm but it felt like the clutch/transmission never engaged and I could not accelerate. After letting my foot off the gas and retrying, the car ¿bucked� and eventually, I was able to accelerate at a slower rate. This continued to happen several times over the next week. I took the car in for service and was able to demonstrate the problem to the mechanic. I was initially told it was the high resistance fuel pump which was replaced but as soon as I left the dealership and tested the car, the same issue happened. I brought the car back and a week later, they¿ve told me it is the low-resistance fuel pump and fuel line. I am very concerned that they keep replacing parts without any improvement in the vehicle. I have not made any changes to the way I drive the vehicle and this was definitely not happening the first five months that we owned the vehicle.

Santa fe v6 limited awd. Intermittent clunking noise from transaxle when turning left or right. Mostly occurs on warm days. Concerned tranny might fail at high speed and cause accident.

The vehicle was taken to multiple dealers who were unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,000. Oo.

I scheduled an appointment with fitzgerald lakeforest Hyundai in gaithersburg, MD on 10/7/2013 for the campaign 112 recall, along with an oil change and tire rotation. When I picked the car up, I was informed that the part for the recall had to be special ordered and they would call when the part came in. A couple of weeks later, I received a call from [xxx] in the service department that the parts were in for the recall and for some switches they replaced in my console under a warranty repair. I took the car in again on 10/17/2013. The dealer talked me into a loaner car (as I was already late for work again for the second time in 2 weeks due to these appointments). They said the loaner car would be faster. The guy inside said I wouldn't have to put gas in the car, but the guy outside that went over the car said that I was responsible for filling the car back up. I ended up spending $8. 00 in gas for the loaner. I received a call around noon on the 17th that my car was ready. I returned the loaner and picked up my car. I went outside and read my paperwork and realized they still did not do the safety recall. No one ever told me that the work wasn't done. I went back inside and all they could say is "sorry. " the part is on a "nationwide back order" and they will call me when it comes in. I explained that I would have never brought it back in if they didn't have the part. I was advised for the second time that they did have the part. I still have not heard from the dealer. Hyundai and lakeforest fitzgerald Hyundai better hope that I am not involved in an accident due to this negligence. I've never had such a problem trying to get recall work performed. I've now missed hours from work and had extra fuel expenses for something completely out of my control. I still have not been contacted. I really don't trust lakeforest fitzgerald Hyundai anymore.

I was making a right turn out of a shopping plaza onto a main highway when the traction control engaged because of fresh wet roads, a loud boom came from the passenger side front. Right after the boom the SUV revved up and the SUV had total loss of power and wouldn't move forward at all. I coasted to the side of the road. I put the SUV in park, shut it off. After restarted SUV had full working power with drive and reverse5x. Vehicle is now at dealer for inspection for damage/(safety).

Sitting at a red light. Light turned green and I put my foot on the gas. Car made a loud clunking noise and wouldn't move. 2 policemen pushed us out of the traffic and called aaa. We were towed to the local Hyundai dealer (where car was purchased). Car was in the shop for 22 days. It was determined that there was a crack in the right front axle. Not the end of the problem. . . . . . . . The dealer had a hard time getting the replacement part. Finally located one in so. Calif. And had it shipped 400 miles to carson city, nv. Part was removed from another 2013 Santa Fe. According to Hyundai, there are potentially 50,000 vehicles that could be affected by this problem. So, since our replacement part came out of another 2013 Santa Fe, we are concerned this may re-occur. We may be one of the two cars mentioned in the online article of 7-9-13. But, not sure if we are so. . . . . . . You may have more than just two vehicles with this problem so far. We would like to be kept informed. Thank you.

What I am about to describe happens randomly. The only discernible pattern is that it happens when accelerating from rest or from slow speed. It has happened about 15 times in the first 800 miles of driving. When I begin to accelerate slowly forward from rest or from a slow forward roll there is no response. It feels like the engine has stalled, but hasn't. Continuing to push down brings no result. After approximately a 2 to 5 second delay, the rpms begin to build up rapidly. The first two or three times it happened I suddenly surged forward in a very dangerous manner. The real problem, however, is that with following traffic expecting me to accelerate and continue to accelerate and I suddenly stop accelerating without having applied brakes, thus activating brake lights, there is a rear end collision waiting to happen. Here is an example from last night. I was rolling slowly in a left turn lane, foot off the gas, waiting for oncoming traffic to clear. It did and I begin the turn simultaneously pressing down on the pedal--no response. Let up and pressed down again--no response. I let up again, rpms came up, I pressed down again and proceed normally into a parking lot. I was perpendicular to 3 lanes of oncoming traffic and dead in the water for maybe 3 to 5 seconds. Essentially the same thing has happened while accelerating out of a u turn and also coming out of a slow right turn. It happened while accelerating slowly through an opening security gate. I have left the car with the dealer overnight so they could drive it and hook it up to their error code machines. They could not observe the issue or diagnose the problem. Nonetheless, it is real and very dangerous. It has been a matter of pure luck that no one has been close behind me during any of these power losses. I hope this report is useful. I would be happy to talk to anyone who might want more information.

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. Consumer states issues with hesitation and stalling when accelerating. The dealer informed the consumer the problem was caused by electronic fuel injection, which was common among several brands of automobiles and there was no fix for the problem. The hesitation at acceleration occurred at slow speeds while turning and the engine would momentarily stall.

Below is the report sent to Hyundai on July 15, 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV being probed for sudden power loss -- reported by associated press July 10, 2013. We purchased a Santa Fe sport at the end of November 2012. On January 2, 2013 with only 1018 miles on vehicle, our Santa Fe experienced essentially the same problem as described in the referenced article. A loud noise occurred (as if running over an obstacle), the engine lost all power and died. Upon restart, the vehicle would not move either forward or backward in reverse. After setting awhile, we were able to very slowly drive the car about 500 to 1000 feet to the dealership. Ruddell dealership was unable to repeat the experience. I now do not trust the vehicle and want it thoroughly inspected to determine if it too has a cracked axle as noted in the newspaper article. We have a road trip planned in early August and do not want to drive this car until it is thoroughly inspected. I took the car to ruddell auto on July 10 and showed them the associated press article but they did not offer to do anything about it. Ruddell said they would have to wait until Hyundai issued a campaign or recall but that is not satisfactory or acceptable. The car now has about 7400 miles on it. The dealership from which we bought the car is ruddell auto in port angeles, washington 98362, USA. Please contact me and inform me what Hyundai intends to do regarding this serious issue. If I do not receive an acceptable reply from Hyundai, then I, too, will report it to NHTSA.

We bought it 10/5/2012. Within several days of buying it my husband told me it had been stalling out after starting from a stopped position. We also noted it hesitates severely at times during acceleration, including on the highway. We have their blue link with a monthly vehicle report and it has been registering something wrong with the chassis and power train in the reports from Nov. And Dec. 2012. We had it in for service and they could not find anything wrong and they reset the blue link. I changed the date for the report for after it had been reset and now it shows that it logged 4 issues with the power train. Apparently though they can not see at the dealership what it logs? they did show me that they can't see this. We have also had the message "fuel cap not on" but it is. On 12/30/2012 we had it out and it hesitated so badly when getting off and on the highway it lasted almost a full minute each time followed by the check engine light flashing on and off. We do not feel safe driving this vehicle. Did we just get the lemon? I understand "we can't do anything about it unless it's doing it for us", but really what is wrong with this vehicle? we have also notice it does this stuff every other tank of gas, sometimes more frequently. It doesn't matter where we buy the gas at either as we have tried rotating stations every 5 or so fill ups.
