Two problems related to alternator/generator/regulator have been reported for the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe based on all problems reported for the 2014 Santa Fe.
Battery only five months old and something is bringing the battery down. Alternator has been checked as well as several other things including the battery. Nothing can be found that could bringing the battery down. Vehicle hadn't been started in 24 hours when this happened twice.
Oil leak from valve cover gasket onto alternator causing complete electrical system failure. Vehicle very quickly lost all power including power steering and brakes, brake/hazard/indicator lights, and ignition while traveling at highway speed in heavy traffic. Extremely high severity potential harm from this failure mode, which was the subject of previous service campaigns for older Hyundai vera cruz and Santa Fe with same 3. 3l v6 engine platform. Unacceptable to have occurrence of this known design issue with later model production.
