general problems of the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe - part 2

Very noticeable engine ticking when running. But when you rev motor a little, it stops. This happens in park. But when driving, I don't notice the ticking. This started about 2 weeks after I bought it.

While driving on the interstate, I noticed a rattling/knocking noise coming from the front of the vehicle, under the hood. The noise kept getting louder, specifically as the vehicle accelerated. I noticed that the rpms would increase, with no increase in speed & even a decrease in speed. During this time the car was using cruise control at approximately 70 mph. As I noticed the knocking noise getting louder, I tapped the brakes & the vehicle's speed dramatically decreased to approximately 40 mph. I tried to speed the vehicle up & the rpms increased significantly, while the vehicle speed did not. I then put my flashers on to signal there was an issue with the vehicle & the check engine light came on, along with other service lights on the dashboard. The vehicle's steering capacity was tight & the ride became extremely bumpy as the speed decreased. After abruptly stopping on the shoulder of the interstate, the vehicle started to smell like something was burning. I could smell this in the cabin of the vehicle & the noticed there was smoke coming from the hood of the car. The engine shut off, but then began to try & turn on, with the lights starting & the start up musical sound playing. It would turn on & off 3 - 4 times, so I then removed the key from the vehicle, stepped out & backed away. The smoke, thankfully, seemed to dissipate after 20 minutes. Fire & police arrived on the scene & did not find any fire, but did smell the burning smell I noticed in the cabin of the vehicle. Unfortunately, we never could get the vehicle's engine to crank again & ended up having it towed back to our local Hyundai dealership.

The backup camera isn't working half the time. Sometimes I get a blue screen, sometimes I get the picture with a lot of lines in it, making it nearly impossible to see anything. It started on 7/18/18 and continues to be a problem.

On 7/17/18, my sunroof shattered without warning, while going the speed limit, 55mph. There were no cars in front of me and nothing above me. The glass projected outward, confirming that nothing fell from the sky or came up from the road as glass would have blown down or to the rear if it had been impacted by an object. I have filed a report with Hyundai's national customer service line and filing a complaint here in hopes something is done about this scary issue. Research has shown multiple reports and a lawsuit of this happening, unprovoked and could cause an accident of serious harm if not investigated. Thankfully the liner protected me from the falling glass and the car behind me slow down after the explosion if glass allowing me to exit the highway safely. Please investigate before someone is seriously injured from this unexpectedly happening to them. Car manufacturers need to be held accountable.

Error message flashed on dash display "bsd cancelled". Then the display returned to normal for about 2 seconds, then the entire display returned to "bsd cancelled". This repeated until the ignition was shut off. At the same time the abs light and stability control lights came on. I left the car overnight. When the car started the next day all of the lights had extinguished. Trying to get diagnosed at dealership at this time. Car was in motion at the time about 1 mile from my home, traveling about 25 mph so I continued home and parked the vehicle. No accident.

Car alarm system repeatedly and randomly goes off while stationary in driveway without provocation or interference of any type. Reason(s) unknown to mechanics.

I recently purchased the car and noticed the back passanger door does not open from the inside. The left side opens from the inside but not the right side. I was instructed to take it to a Hyundai dealer to see if they could help. Haven't done so yet, but wanted to know if you could help first with instructions. Vehicle was not in motion and motor was turned off.

Low beam headlights are so poor I feel I cannot safely see to drive. Have checked alignment and they are just very poorly designed according to dealer. Cannot see adequate distance to stop safely on low beams at reasonable speeds. So bad I seldom ever drive at night and never on the highway.

Takata recall, I was failed to be notified about the recall on my vehicle for my hood latch being defective. June 5, 2017 was when they had determined the recall but never notified me. I received a letter in the mail from a lawyer about takata having a recall on airbags, so I decided to check any recall information online on 10/27/17 and found that it was not the airbag but it was the hood latch that is being recalled. The information is stating the hood latch will become loose and cause the hood to open will driving which is very hazardous considering I have a newborn on board. The recall number is NHTSA 17v358000, manufacturer 163.

I took my car in to the dealer for routine oil change and tire rotation. The service advisor came out and asked me if I had a recent blowout. I said no. She said when the tech rotated the tire he noticed a bulge in the sidewall of the rear passenger tire. They advised it was dangerous to drive it that way, so they put the spare on. One other tire was showing cable. Both tires are at 5/32. I bought this car used, in June 2015. Car fax showed no reports of any issues, however, there was noticeable body work and repaint (poorly done and I have pictures). The previous owner had a blowout in the less than 12 months they had the vehicle. They never reported it, but the dealer mentioned it. I have 19" tires on my Santa Fe sport 2. 0t. Is it possible the recall on the 17" tires should have included the 19" tires as well? these are still the original tires. I haven't owned the car a year yet. I travel 140+ miles a day to and from work. My safety is very important.

While I was driving, my car all of sudden stopped working. It happened around 2 months later after I bought, which was 2014 September or October . I went to a dealershop, they inspected my car but couldn't find anything. However my car stopped working on the local area , 2015 Sep. 4th. Again, they couldn't find anything wrong in my car. I asked Hyundai headquarter and dealership to check if there is a report regarding this issue, they do not give me any answer about it. Please check and let me know what I am supposed to do. I do not want to get killed on the road and kill someone because of my car.

Returning home on a highway, when I veer towards the left, the front-right tire and rim started separating so I stopped then looked at the car and saw the tires were ripped apart! it occurded to me I smelled around a haft hour before this incident. The dealer and the 24 hour towing truck said it was my fault but later, the mechanic saw something else; unfortunately, they still charged me @ $300. 00!.

I was driving about 45 mph on an open road, little to no traffic. The sunroof in my Santa Fe spontaneously exploded. We heard a very loud bang. A large piece of glass flew up and out of my car. Several small pieces of glass fell into the car, on me and my 9 year old daughter (who was in the backseat/driver side). The falling glass ranged from slivers to pea sized to larger than 2 inches. The glass continued to fall into the car. I closed the sunshade on the sunroof to try to keep the rest of the falling glass off of us. I was only about 1/2 mile from home. I drove home and parked in my garage. The panoramic sunroof has 2 pieces of glass. The entire front panel was shattered, and had a large hole just to the right of center. This was after 6pm. I called the Hyundai dealership first thing the next morning. The service person I spoke to stated this was the 2nd exploding sunroof they have seen this month. I had the car towed to the dealership. When we got to the dealership the rest of the sunroof had shattered and fallen into the car. The car was filled with glass. I had 2 small glass slivers in my hand that I easily removed. I have a small glass sliver in my chin still. My daughter has a few small scratches on her stomach (she was wearing a cropped sports top).

Driving on hwy 71 approximately 25 miles south of alexandria, la with the sunroof closed and the interior sunroof liner closed when I heard a loud "explosion" similar to the sound of a shotgun being fired. There was only one vehicle near me, approximately 500 feet ahead of me. I looked to see if the side window had been shot out and to make sure my son, who was sitting in the back, was ok. I then could hear the sound of wind coming from above me. I opened the sunroof cover and discovered a large hole in the forward part of the sunroof, with the remainder of the forward retractable sunroof shattered. I pulled over to the side of the road and noticed that it appeared that the sunroof released upward. I have taken the vehicle to a Hyundai dealer and they are trying to say this is the result of something striking the sunroof, and that they have "not seen this before". I have done research and see that there have been several complaints of this happening including a recent recall of Hyundai velosters for the same problem.

This is not a safety issue but rather a design issue that could lead to problems starting the vehicle. The key fob is designed such that a very slight amount of pressure on a button can remove the entire electronic portion of the key inadvertently. If this is done on accident and the electronic portion of the key cannot be found then the car will not start. Contrary to most key fob designs, where the metal key (valet) portion flips out from the body or has to be removed using some force, the key fob on the new Santa Fe will detach without almost any force. I have already lost a fob at a cost of $280 to me and the key has become detached multiple times in pockets and around the house without hardly any force. I believe this is a design issue and consumer protection issue that needs to be addressed. It seems Hyundai designed this part for the sole goal of increasing replacement key fob sales.

Blind spot detection stop working while driving and the driver screen said bsd canceled. I parked the car stop the engine and after restarting the bsd started to working again.

About 4 pm on oct 6, 2014, I was driving south on route 101s toward yarmouth, nova scotia, canada at mile marker 16. It is a 2 lane restricted access highway. There were 2 people in the front seats, one person in the middle row, passenger side. The day was partly sunny, mid 60s, little wind. My sunroof was tilted open and the liner was open halfway to expose the sun roof opening. The speed limit on the road was 100km/hr, and that was my speed. A tractor trailer passed me going the opposite direction, probably at 100 km/hr or a little more. Just as the truck disappeared in my blind spot there was a huge explosion. It sounded like a canon went off just above me. I looked up and saw a huge hole in the sunroof and there was glass all over me, my passengers, and the inside of the car. I immediately slowed down and pulled off to the side of the road when it was safe. I did not hear hear anything hit the car, nor did we and 3 royal canadian mounted police find any sign of anything that could have caused the damage after searching both inside the car and along the roadway. About 60 percent of the sun roof was gone, shattered into bits throughout the front, middle and even some into the back of the car. The outside part of the sun roof that was still attached was also entirely shattered. I proceeded directly to a Hyundai dealer who took pictures to document the damage. A warranty repair was authorized. After inspection and cleaning, the sun roof and liner operated correctly, with damage limited to the glass portion of the sunroof. No other roof damage was noted. My concerns are that even though this has been replaced, couldn¿t it happen again? what is being done to investigate and solve this problem that runs across several years, many makes and models of cars?.

Panoramic sunroof, the section of glass that opens, exploded while driving 70 mph down the interstate. There were no cars within 1/4 mile of me, and no overhead bridges, so nothing hit the roof, it just exploded. In fact, looking from the exterior, it is clear that the glass blew outward, because the perimeter of the whole is convex facing outward, and most all of the glass, including the wind guard were blown onto the highway. The upholstery liner was ripped as well. So thankful that I was by myself, and that my 8 year old daughter and wife were not in the car. In my mind, this is clearly a manufacturer's defect. Could you imagine if a windshield were to do this?? you never hear that happening, so they are obviously cutting corners on these sunroof panels. Hyundai is repairing it for free, but I will always be paranoid about it happening again.

Failure to accelerate from a full stop with accelerator petal partially or fully depressed. Malfunction occurred three times and persisted each time for between one and a half mile on two occasions and for one half mile on one occasion. On July 11, 2014 automobile was left with dealer for warranty repair of the malfunction and has remained there as of this date, August 3, 2014, with no repairs having been done. This is a very serious malfunction and could quite easily result in an accident with serious safety consequences. This is a new vehicle with only 1100 miles on it. The malfunction has occurred randomly during routine driving followed by a return to normal operation of the vehicle after driving the distances noted above. . All three instances occurred after making a left hand turn from a full stop. Vehicle slowly increased speed without any appropriate response from accelerator position. Driver had petal fully depressed in one instance and tried flooring and pumping the petal in two others with no response.

I was driving east to an Ave, but another driver hit me on the passenger side. When the driver hit my car we spinned half way. The passenger sitting on the passenger side got hurt on her arm. The accident was sort of big. The car door on passenger side and the door behind the passenger was dented in. Getting hit that hard should have deployed the airbag and the Hyundai emergency calling system. However none of them were working when the car was hit. According to Hyundai they have more airbags than any other companies but even though they have more, the airbag didnt deploy which made the passengers arm get hurt. Also the drivers knee got hurt even though there was a so called "airbag. " Hyundai Santa Fe did not do what is meant for its safety.
