general problems of the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe

The engine has been running rough for awhile and emissions light came on. My car was having problems accelerating, 2 years ago the light came on but didn’t stay on so the dealer couldn’t diagnose problem.

In relation to this incident, approximately 3,00 miles after an oil change, the engine oil drain plug fell out and caused all oil to leak and cause engine damage. Engine oil change was at approximately 125,000 miles. Drain plug fell out at approximately 128,000 miles. No warning lights or symptoms were present prior to vehicle shutting off and dying while driving. Vehicle was then towed to shop who previously did oil change. Shop confirmed drain plug was missing and oil level was empty. I am the manager of this shop submitting this on behalf of the customer with this vehicle. We are aware of the ongoing concerns in relation to case dp22-003 and would like to submit this information as further evidence for this case.

Loss of acceleration and stuttering when I was trying to get up to speed on the interstate going up a hill. Instantly blinking check engine light. Won't go above 2000rpm or 60mph. P1326 code read glow relay short circuit.

I have been notified that I am in need of a new engine due to possible complete engine failure which is on the near horizon. I have the lambda ii v6 3. 3l engine. It is knocking, making noises, hesitates to go, feels like it will stall out at all speeds, and is scaring me terribly. My certified local mechanic replaced a part for failed emissions, which cost almost $900. However the check engine light came back on. They stated I must go to Hyundai because they did not believe they could fix the car as it required a new engine. I took it to my Hyundai dealer, where my contact stated yes it should be covered as it was having the issues as have been identified with this engine. He later came back and stated his managers would not let him put through the claim, and said my estimate was now a whole new timing system at a cost of $4600. My car has less than 83,000 miles on it. My previous Hyundai is still running at 200,000 miles, so yes, I take good care of my vehicles. This is an early equipment failure on the part of Hyundai and kia that they are now owning up to. I drive on busy 4 lane local roads, and I am afraid of this engine failure. Also, when I did take my Hyundai into the dealership, they did not have the abs part needed for the recall. I was told it would be in within a couple of days. I have not been contacted back by them if it is in and to schedule me an appt. This is a huge failure in itself! I did make a claim to Hyundai customer care, that stated it was out of warranty. Today, I have my car at a 3rd automotive mechanic in the area to get a 3rd opinion. He has a minor timing issue code p0018 that emissions still kicked out once I finally got it passed. I am waiting to hear what he has to say regarding my engine with no beforehand knowledge of what I know so far. If my car catches fire or breaks down or seizes up on a busy road, I don't think that will go safely at all. I am very concerned for my safety and that of others.

1) what component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? I tried to park in the parking space next to it by making a slight right turn. As soon as I stepped on the brake to park, the car began to rush forward. I noticed again and again that my foot was slamming on the brakes, but the car didn't stop. My car went over the ledge between the parking lot and the store, slammed into the pillar of the building on the left, smashed all the glass in the dance studio, and hit the wall on the right before coming to a stop. It took six seconds from rushing forward to into the store. 2) how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I must have been severe injured if the car didn't stop by hitting a right-side wall of the store. And if there were people, I was not able to avoid casualites. 3) has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? no, the car was towed and reviewd by car insurance. Car insurance informed that th e car will be total loss. No information about reproducing the issue 4) has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? no 5) were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no, that was suddenly occured 6) request: I want NHTSA to investigate my car of sudden unintended acceleration. I would like to get edr, x-ray of pcb board of electrical central unit(a. K. A ecu) managing brake and accelerator and car manufacturer's reliability sign-off report of the ecu board. I have a security footage taking the accident moment. I failed to upload the video. If you want, please let me know. Will send the video file with NHTSA.

Check engine light came on and was blinking. Had to get it towed. There is an engine recall on my vehicle. Full diagnostics test was run showing faulty engine due to the engine recall.

Car not shifting correctly. No power. Could not gain speed to merge into traffic. Was intermittent for months finally the engine light came on. My mechanics diagnostic showed it was the turbo charger. There is a service bulletin 22-22-em-004h.

Car would not shift. Could not increase speed. This occurred intermittently and gradually got worse.

Hi I'm in the car with my granddaughter 9 years old we will ready to visit my oldest son his daughter my 3rd grandchild 9 months old. My 9 year old granddaughter we were on i75 north ready to change lanes into the right slow lane as I am ready to merge onto exit 275 ramp land o lakes. I notice my rpm numbers are at zero, my SUV was losing speed, I had a green 18 wheeler tractor trailer exactly on my back end of my Hyundai Santa Fe sport 2014, exactly on top of us. I can see the grill count bugs on it. My granddaughter was so upset, crying, panicky afraid to get hit by the cars, trucks,staying stranded. Myquick thinking I kept my foot on the gas gave it all I could manage to get my SUV on the triangle safe spot in front of the sign exit 275. Once I took my foot slowly off the gas I notice all of the components were locking up shutting down slowly the lights just dimming into darkness nothing nothing was on as if she just shut down to sleep. It was very scary I am also suffering anxiety flashback what if I didn't think to get out of the tractor trailers way. My god my granddaughter I would have been hit slamed hard or pushed into on coming traffic or teadbone into the divider or over the slope. I dont feel safe my SUV. That truck was not stopping he was pushing his way. I am devastated. I paid in full my SUV in 2yrs under the 4 1/2 yrs. I bought my SUV. From Ford dealer tampa FL. Paid infull under a new steering columns has to be replaced? after I heard the clicking sound and I was shown a little tool was going to be put in. I said no a new steering column has to be replace due to safety. The service tech who put my steering column also broke my power auto seat driver side. Chair still pops out the electric left side button for lumbar, heat safetychair adjusting. I was told the recall took care of the chemical liquid brake fluid component quick fix I told the dealer about my age lights,traction, slope lights emergency brake lights on. Road ranger can smell chemical burn.

I received a notice of recall on the abs for my Hyundai Santa Fe 2014 sport. My abs light recently illuminated, I went to the Hyundai site to make an appt. I was given one a week out, while waiting for the appt my brake lights wouldn’t turn off unless I disconnected the battery. I took the vehicle to the dealership in brevard FL, the guy kept trying to upsell me $180 for diagnostics and that I had to pay it for every light on. Which I explained had all happened since the abs light. I was there for 4 hours and I asked him to fix the abs he didn’t said he didn’t have time and I had to reschedule. I had to wait another week, I took it to a friend who is a certified mechanic. He put it on his diagnostic computer and it kept coming back with abs code. Said he couldn’t do the brakes until that was fixed. Went back this week, didn’t ask me anything when I pulled in, not even an hour later said my vehicle was done come get it. He handed me a quote of $1300 for brakes. I asked if I paid that would it fix the abs he said no, but ur vehicle is not safe to drive. I explained I know, it wasn’t safe last week and you didn’t help me. I was able to get my vehicle to nearby brake-shop. I explained everything that happen, they also ran diagnostics and said it was abs that they couldn’t fix it either until the dealership fixed the abs. Now my vehicle is stuck at brake-shop and I just started a new job and have already had to miss two days work. I am completely dumbfounded as to why I am getting the run around and no one wants to help. I deplore having to complain, however it feels as though there is no more customer service/satisfaction.

While driving on the MA route 90 on April 29, 2022, the vehicle stopped accelerating and became unsafe drive. I brought the car to midas and was told that the car needed a new engine. I contacted a Hyundai dealer and was told that they could not look at the car as they had over a hundred Hyundai engines to replace. Prior to this incident, there were no warning lights or messages. I have learned that there seems to be significant problems with many Hyundai models. I believe this was extremely dangerous as the car would not accelerate whilei was in the fastlane of the highway.

Same issue with my Santa Fe sport with the engine burning oil. It left me stranded on a back road up hill when it just slowly stopped accelerating and shut off. I had it towed to Hyundai dealership who wanted me to purchase a brand new engine. After talking to a friend who is a mechanic he told me about the lawsuit going on. I confronted Hyundai with this new information I had gotten. I was able to get the engine replace but I’m appalled at Hyundais sketchy way of trying to bypass this. Had not for my friend told me then I would have paid for a new engine! dealership kept my vehicle for 4 months because they were out of stock in engines due to the amount of vehicles having the same issue! wow now the truth unfolds. Shortly after getting the car back the check engine light came on. When reversing the vehicle would buck and seem like it wanted to stall out. Autozone hooked up computer and said torque converter code showed. Autozone said if I just had my engine replaced then the dealership didn’t install it right or broke something during the process. I took it back to Hyundai and they verified converter code and said I needed a new transmission! prior to the engine issue this car never had problems. The second the engine was replaced everything went wrong! seems very sketchy. The car started losing power when driving. I was on the highway and it would not accelerate. I was terrified I was going to get hit by all the other vehicles. Cars were dodging me and slamming on breaks and honking horns. I managed to make my way to pull over. Got the transmission replaced like I was told and the converter replaced. Car is still doing the same thing. Hyundai said I needed converter replaced again two months after they replaced it. Now everyone at Hyundai was fired… wonder why. Now I took it back to Hyundai again, car has not been driven in over a year. Now they are saying no issue with converter it’s the transmission! Hyundai needs to be out of business. They put us in danger!.

I took my 2014 Santa Fe in for abs recall and replacement. Shortly after, about 1 month and a couple hundred miles, my abs light, traction and engine lights, and my ebrake light remain on. My speedometer does not work and reads at 0 even while moving. I can feel my traction not working and the vehicle slipping under the wheel. I took the vehicle to Hyundai dealership and there is an issue with my whole hec unit and needs to be replaced. The hec unit works with the abs system and could have been shorted from the abs recall. It reads multiple sensor issues with the wheel sensor and hec unit needing to be replaced.

Hyuandi recalled Santa Fe 2. 4l engines. Ignoring and refuses to acknowledge many 3. 3l Santa Fe’s same engine failures as they have had lawsuits over. I’m reaching out again demanding investigations every failed engine reported. Denying accountability for the safety of their customers! my engine blew driving oni-40 interstate. I was accelerating to pass a vehicle. During my attempted acceleration I lost all petal pressure and my foot went to the floor. The rpm’s spiked up 5-6k. The oil pressure escalated rapidly. My car seemingly stalled out. Losing ability to keep moving. What looked like steam coming out of the passenger side front wheel well. Assumed that was from a liquid hitting the hot brakes. After sitting for a few moments, I attempted to restart the vehicle. Turning it off & it never came back on. Following failure to start back up. I checked the oil level. Alarmingly- it was completely dry. While inspecting the car on the side of the busiest highway! there was no large apparent leaks,where the oil would’ve run out. This is a direct display of the motor burning the oil over time. The hyuandi dealership is responsible for the maintenance and my cars inability to run. As the oil’s mysterious disappearance is from a malfunction in the engine. The reason my car ran out of oil. Months prior to its mysterious disappearance the oil was changed & no concerns of malfunction or failure to run, we’re reported after my maintenance by the same dealership who blames me. Denying the truth. Blaming me for “lack of servicing” the vehicle they serviced and was not due of one. Hyuandi’s ignoring their engine problem. Putting their customers and many other drivers lives at risk. And I’m highly disappointed in the service from both hyuandi, all dealerships, and the refusal to acknowledge their responsibility for me no longer having a running vehicle. Not offering a replacement engine. Expecting me to drop $6,000. 00 which is half the price of my cars value. I want answers!!!!!!!.

I purchased my 2014 Santa Fe sport from Ford motor sales located@10700 Ford road dearborn,michigan in October 2020. After a week of driving it back and forth to work,it started not accelerating and I kept smelling like something was burning in it. I took it back and forth to the dealership for this same issue now the engine is knocking and the oil wont stay in it either,after its been changed too. Im heartbroken and its christmas and I have no transportation at all to get to work for me and my family. I'm a frontline worker for the covid-19 team here in michigan at the be well medical center for biotech laboratories and can lose my job if I dont get this fix immediately. This recall explains alot thats why my poor truck is dying. Please help.

Air stays at warm when driving in heat and won't cool.

2014 hyundia Santa Fe sport will not accelerate, when taking off, or going up hill. Almost seem like losing power when trying to increase speed. Very dangerous when trying to merge into traffic or on highway.

Automatic gear not shifting properly when accelerating after coming to a complete loss stop. I had the same problem last year 2019 in the month of February. I took it to the Hyundai on jefferson Ave ( newport news / virginia). They found that it was an engine default for most of the 2014 model. The engine was replaced and not even a year I had the same problem again.

While on the interstate my car lost power!! it caused the speed to decline sharply from 70 mph to 15 mph!! it was taken to the garage the next day. A "recall" I never received on my 2014 hyundia Santa Fe. Said it was fixed. Next time, I am in a remote are, again. . . No power. Called the Hyundai garage, they told me a tow truck would pick it up - I needed to call the Hyundai 800 number to set it up. I called, nope, they would not pick it up. Got it to the garage a second time. Supposedly fixed. . . Third time. . . Happened again. Called the garage. Unbelievable. This time, I am telling them to keep this death trap and return my money. Never again am I crawling into that thing!! 3 times within 3 weeks!!! serious safety issues and proven cases of many car fires. Hyundai is fully aware of this and have been avoiding a full recall over a year. Their customer service web site says "due to the overwhelming calls, more employees are answering the phones within one hour". . . I was told to expect a call within 5 days. Google fo4x, consumer reports, NHTSA, center for auto safety and congress are all involveded. A complete disgrace!!!.

When taking off with the vehicle it will die and almost come to a complete stop then the engine picks back up and continues on down the road does this every time you start and stop. Will not get on 200 rpms or 60 mph. This is the second time I have had the car in the shop for the same issue. First time they kept my car two months said it was a wiring issue. 2000 miles later does the same exact thing almost causing me to get in a wreck because it starts with no warning at all. Car currently back in the shop been there now a week have not heard anything from them.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while driving and approaching a stop light, while depressing the brake pedal to come to a stop, the vehicle start to shake violently then stalled without warning. In addition, the contact stated that the failure recurred four times each time the vehicle come to a stop. The vehicle was taken four times to universal Hyundai dealer, located at 12801 s orange blossom trail, orlando, FL 32837, (321) 418-6386, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacture was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000. Aw.

Engine started to make clicks and car immediately stalled getting off the freeway. Had to be stopped, parked before I regained engine power. This happened around 22,800 miles. Happened again on the way to dealer and with dealer service staff. Diagnosed as defective turbo assembly that was replaced. Shortly after I picked the car from the shop, I noticed same clicking noise again and car also accelerated on it's own when my foot was not on the break. This happened intermittently. The car returned to the shop and I was told that there is damage in the engine and the engine was replaced. When I went to pick up the car I noticed oil dripping below it. Car was inspected again and I was informed that the transmission assembly is cracked and will need to be replaced. The car is still at the shop.

My vehicle was involved in the engine recall which caused the vehicle to completely shut down due to engine failure. After having the engine replaced by a Hyundai dealership, the vehicle continues to intermittently loose power without notice. Although, the tachometer reads 7000 rpm, the speed is 20 mph with the pedal to the floor boards. This happens without notice and has happened on interstate highways with cars speeding buy! we have to pull over and shut it off and then restart. Then it will be fine til next the next time. The local Hyundai dealership has not been able to correct the problem although they have replaced several things. It is an ongoing problem.

I have a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe sport awd. This is my 3rd Hyundai. I have really been impressed until now. My car wanders all over the road when driving over 50mph either on a road or interstate. I have to work hard to hold the wheel to keep the vehicle straight. The handling is awful I feel like my car is skating all over the road. Like I am driving on ice. The car is unsafe to drive. I have been to the dealership, had the alignment checked, had a new alignment performed, as well as replace the tires. This has not fixed the issue. I feel it is unsafe to put my 5 year old in the vehicle. I cannot keep the steering straight. What is Hyundai doing to fix this issue? I am making payments on a vehicle I feel is unsafe to drive and no one can tell me why?.

While driving at 60 mph the vehicle lost rpms and the ability to accelerate. I pulled over safely to the side of the road and called Hyundai roadside assistance. Roadside assistance could not validate my location. I attempted to drive to the next town but rpms stayed from 1000-2000 and I was unable to go over 25 mph.

This is a transmission problem shifting 1-2nd gear, as we slow down to enter our garage and wait for door to open, the car lurches forward with huge amount of force, almost as if we are hit from behind, then it goes into gear and proceeds. Happens almost every day now. I read many consumer blogs saying this is an issue for the Santa Fe models. Definitely a transmission issue.
