Wiper problems of the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe

1. Speed sensor- replaced by recall and continue to fail. 2. Rear glass in hatchback, just broke origination from wiper hole in glass while the car was occupied sitting not moving a a parking lot. 3. Steering rattles because a shock damper wears out prematurely. 4. Seats- electric control button contacts tarnish with use and quit working.

Air and defrosters quit turn engine off restart and it worked. 5 times . The engine is a 2013 2. 0 turbo Santa Fe using oil 2 quarts a week, engine is making a noise. Also, dealer said they could not do anything until it gets bad? you must check the oil all the time. .

My 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe sport has a panoramic sunroof that exploded on October 9th 2018 while I was driving (pictures attached). I had just left work less than one minute down the road when I heard crackling noise followed by a loud explosion and then sounds of a lot of chattering hitting the shade, followed by wind and outside noise (like I opened a window). When it was safe to pull over to check what had happened. I found the front glass of the sunroof exploded up and out! I had the shade closed so the glass didn't get in the vehicle. I immediately took pictures and called the dealership I bought the vehicle that was able to take the vehicle in later that same day and would have to leave it overnight. I received a call from their service dept. The next day telling me that Hyundai would not cover the sunroof! I had never heard of this happening to a panoramic roof before. So, I did some research online to find this has happened numerous times and Hyundai knows of the issue. If this is a known issue, I do not understand why Hyundai would not cover the repair? why there is not a recall or warning that this can happen?.

Sunroof exploded while driving. . . . . . We were driving on a four lane highway on a cloudy afternoon. Temp was 47 degrees and traveling at 65 mph on a straight stretch. The closest car in front of us was 1/2 mile. All of a sudden a loud shotgun like sound and glass everywhere. The front section of our panoramic sunroof exploded. My wife was in the front passenger seat and my 19 month old was in the back seat. Glass was on all of us.

While in reverse backing camera screen blacks out for several seconds while car is backinga. (everytime).

I have a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe limited. We were driving on highway 85 in north dakota when the forward section of the panorama roof suddenly and without warning exploded and shattered into thousands of fragments. It sounded like a shotgun blast inside the car. Fortunately, the sunshade was closed at the time so most of the glass fragments were contained. When we stopped and examined the roof, we saw a hole about 15-18 inches in diameter. We were traveling at 65mph and the temperature was 65-70 degrees f. The car had 61,000 miles on it at the time. It is currently at the Hyundai dealer for repairs. The service rep left me with little confidence that Hyundai would cover the cost of the repair.

My wife was driving down the interstate at about 70mph on Wednesday 2/24/16 in charlotte, nc when all of the sudden the sunroof exploded with our 3 year old and 2 month old in the back seat. The shade was back and glass dropped down on all of them. My 3 year old had some very small cuts on her face. There were no vehicles or bridges near the vehicle when this happened. The vehicle was towed to the dealership and they advised that they were going to put it in as a warranty claim with Hyundai because they had another one, same year make and model, come in the week before with the same thing. After googling it, I have read several incidents where this has taken place. I would like to see a recall on this due to the safety concerns that it poses. She could have been startled and lost control of the vehicle. If you look closely you can see that the glass goes up out of the vehicle, not down. I believe that it would be going down had something hit it.

While travelling at 70 mph a loud explosion was heard and the panoramic sunroof exploded covering me and my passenger in shattered glass causing minor cuts to one of us. No object appeared to hit the car. Glass covered the occupants as well as any following vehicles potentially causing damage. No object was found to indicate that the vehicle was struck. The glass was pushed outwards as though it was pushed from inside the cabin.

The headlights are directed downward such that they do not sufficiently illuminate the roadway. Exceeding speeds of approximately 35 mph at night on a level surface requires over-driving the headlights; high beams must be used at all times at greater speeds to drive safely. The company refers me to the dealership and vice versa; while they each acknowledge that this is a common problem, neither is willing to take steps to rectify the issue.

While driving over a bridge - the sunroof part of my moon roof exploded. The weather wasn't even hot / humid - about 85 degrees outside at the time. When I was able to pull over to see what happened - my sunroof was completed shattered with the edges still attached - but a hole over 12-inches in diameter was blown out and glass partials were dropped into the shade cover that covers the moon roof as my ceiling. The Hyundai dealership has only concluded that they will replace the glass with the same part and was not able to say if this issue would / could happen again.

Was driving 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe on the highway at 70mph when suddenly I heard a loud noise. Immediately after I could hear the broken glass from my sunroof on top of the cloth cover. Vehicle was not struck by an external object, but rather the sunroof seemed to explode spontaneously. When I pulled over to the side of the road to examine the damage, almost the entire length of the sunroof had broken in millions of pieces.

Just had my windshield replaced 2 weeks ago because of a crack on the base of the windshield. I remote started my car when I was leaving work on a snowy night and when I got to the car and wiped the snow of the windshield I noticed a crack coming from the base of it! no impact marks at all. So the next morning I made an insurance claim and had it replaced by safelite. Now this past week we had snow again in nyc and I was getting ready to leave for work and remote started the car. . . . Guess what I saw when I got to the car! a crack from the base! so I started researching it and the turbo models have a heating element on the bottom part of the windshield for the wipers to defrost them. Now it sounds like a good idea but not if there's snow on the windshield which is cold and from the other side your heating it up inconsistently only at the bottom. Your just asking for a crack. So this time the windshield was replaced the technician said he thought it was the heat as well and left the element unplugged. Hyundai has been known for fragile glass. . . . What is going on NHTSA!.

Have been noticing occasionally the front windshield wipers do not return to their "parked" position. They will occasionally stay too far up by 2 to 3 inches. When parked, they should be below the hood line tucked nicely to the wiper cowl. I have found on about 5 occasions since owning this car that the wipers are up as opposed to parked down correctly. The driver seat also rocked quite a bit when first purchased. Two of us drive the vehicle, neither of us are overweight at all. We got the seat track assembly under the driver's seat replaced. This helped the problem alot, but the seat still wobbles enough to be annoying. Have also noticed on other Santa Fe's that the fog lamp bulb shield (inside the lense assembly) appears melted, as it dangles down far too low and causes the fog light output to be incorrectly aimed.
