general problems of the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe

I turned off the car and went inside the house. I was outside and could smell smoke. I walked to the front of the house and saw my neighbor who was calling 911 due to flames from my engine. The flames reached the yard and my garage where minor damage occurred. The vehicle was completely engulfed in flames before the fire department extinguished it.

As we were driving down the interstate we began to see smoke coming out our vents and after a few seconds saw flames coming from the passenger side of car. We quickly tried to pull over but brakes weren’t working. Safely pulled into grass median. Luckily we were able to quickly exit through the driver door. After about 30 seconds the car was engulfed in flames.

Abs system is randomly locking up calipers causing a dangerous speed wobble. Dealership can't re create so won't diagnose. Have had to replace all brake calipers and components were near new but ruined because of abs applying brakes when unnecessary. Vehicle is very unsafe to drive, pulled hard to left at one point veering me into oncoming traffic. Independent mechanic has made caliper release by manually releasing abs system. Same results were not found by releasing pressure at master cylinder making abs the obvious culprit. No warning lights but I just replaced two cracked rotors on rear at 130k miles. That should not happen. Has caused hub readings of 270 on three different tires at 3 different times. Santa fe has recall on this system for every year but mine, very curious as to why not. If this was not a dealership only part , it might not be such a big issue, but being it is main source of stopping a 4000 lb vehicle, I have concerns. Hyundai dealership was very condescending and of little to no help. I have an independent are certified mechanic who is happy to talk with you if needed. Please help, as of right now am. Making payments on an unsafe vehicle with not much hope of it being fixed.

The company has stopped supporting their bluelink function that is causing the screen to do a continuous search for a connection and remaining blank so the controls and cameras are not visible. The company has sent out patches for some models as the old service was on 2g and 3g which are discontinued but they are not sending an update for my vehicle. I have engaged the dealer and they say they've had numerous complaints on this matter with no fix available. This is an absolute safety hazard and needs to be addressed. Please help me; I am an 83 year old veteran and should not have to buy a new car to be safe!.

Ever since I bought this 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe sport 2. 0 turbo from advantage Hyundai, in hicksville new york in December 2017, I have been having battery problems, especially when the temperature falls below 70 degrees fahrenheit. The alarm goes off by itself, it does not matter what time of day, draining the battery in the process. I took it back to the dealership they held the car, while giving me a loaner. I have taken the car to them no less than 6 times each time they assured me that the battery problem was fixed, yet the problem continued. I spoke to their headquarters in California. They gave me the run around until the warranty expired. I recently changed the battery and alternator and the problem continues.

Engine caught fire while driving. Vehicle is a total loss as fire department did not arrive for 20 min. Currently at a copart yard in gainesville, GA. Lucky I was on a rural road and my dog and I were able to get out of car. Only injury is cough that has not gone away after 4 weeks. No warning lights, but did smell what seemed like burning brake fluid prior to fire. Both Hyundai and farmers insurance have inspected the car. Of note is that Hyundai replaced the engine at around 60k miles due to engine oiling issues.

Excessive engine oil consomption and the brake lightbull keep burning frequently.

The engine control module (cpu) failed and at first the car experienced random warning lights thatwhen placed on diagnostic computer, no codes were noted. The next issue was a strong gasoline smell in the cabin. The cpu read this as a faulty fuel pressure regulator. When a second code pull was done it was reported as evaporator canister failure requires changing. The problem was in fact a leaking fuel injector rail and two injectors with defective improperly seated "o" rings. Explainig the gas smell and poor milage. "ms. G" owns the 2016 Santa Fe sport with 2. 0 gdi motor. There are about 80k miles the intermittent warning lights became and issue during the annual inspection/tag renewal. The dmv inspector saw the traction control, abs, incline parking brake light and the service engine soon warnings intending to fail the car after the problemwas explained he connected his code reader, and found no codes. About April of 2022, a recal notice was recieved noting especially the 2,0 gdi motor. I explained everything to the huyndai rep. Who informed me that the recall was directly related to the matters we discussed. When I described the final episode where the motor simply shut off. I explained it was towed to my shop ,again placed ot the full spectrum scanner / computer. At this time a complete systems diagnostic was preformed, ignition on - motor not running, including a complete sensor check. It was during this portion of the testing that I noticed that asensor was not reporting any data, or the existance of an oil pressure sensor. Now the ignition switch was then turned on/off the designated number of times and the car was started and a definite knock was detected. Ms. G is by no means uninformed regarding automobiles her parents restored several vintage jags, and a 1966 330gts Ferrari. The point being had she had any warning the vehicle was low on oil she would have checked and added as needed. In the end the Hyundai rep assured us the engine replacement was free.

2016 Santa Fe - while driving on interstate all warning lights came on - antilock brake, check engine, electronic power steering, vehicle grade, outside temp blinking blank. Took to reliable shop and they said it was right front speed sensor, had that replaced still all warning lights on. Engine code that caused the lights was p2159 (vehicle speed sensor b range performance) I took the car to jim click dealership in green valley they had the car for 7 days said they finally figured out that it had wires that were shorted that fed back to modules and they would have to do an overlay of these wires, so they would run new wires in the area that was bad, we got the car back after repairs and it is all working now, the car only has 86 k miles and has never been in an accident all wiring in the vehicle look still brand new. I read online of this same year of car has problems due to engine fires and suggest to park car away from anything in case it does catch fire, the article also talks about it starts with the antilock brake control module that can cause an electrical short. I am wandering if this is going to happen again because they repaired shorted wiring but did nothing to replace any bad control modules that may be causing fires in these vehicles. These repairs cost me over 700 dollars in which I think should be under warranty, but the real scary thing is I don't want to be driving down the road and have this car go up in flames. The article on the internet I read was written by tom krisher ap auto writer he also states that kia is also also included with this problem.

Drive the car on the highway and seemed like I was losing power and a few minutes later I heard a knocking on the engine.

The problem with my purchased Hyundai is that it's not giving a warning message for the oil or over heating. The engine continues to gather a lot of gunk. Also, there is a recall on these specific models and I was notified by a class action law suit. Hyundaithetaenginesettlement. Com. The car has a chance of exploding. I did not agree with the terms of the class action suit. It was only offering compensation if I was already injured, or having to commit conspiracy with a crime of lemon law and consumer rights, and possible murder. These SUV's were built in 2016 and had enough time to be taken off the market. I purchased my vehicle last year 2020.

Vehicle caught fire spontaneously at a parking lot. Car was just serviced and inspected a month prior at the Hyundai dealer where I purchased it and had no problems reported. Car was parked at the time of the incident. From the initial report from the fire department the cause of the fire was a mechanical issue. The vehicle was a total loss.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that the oil sensor light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the failure. The contact stated that two months later, that the engine leaked oil and failed to retain engine oil. The contact called the Hyundai of beckley dealer located at 3921 robert c byrd dr, beckley, wv 25801, (304)-254-8220, and scheduled an appointment. The contact inquired about an unknown oil leak recall and was informed that the vehicle was not subjected to a recall. The manufacturer was called but, no one answered the phone. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

Navigation system won't load- when the vehicle is started, the navigation system (screen says bluelink)- starts the process of loading- with a loading bar below the words "bluelink'. , at engine start- when loading, that bar moves from left to right. Once the system is loaded, the navigation screen comes on. The problem: the loading process stopped loading at approx. 60,000 miles -the navigation screen is stuck in the "loading" screen. Mechanic did a hard reset, did not work. The system is stalled, and has never loaded since then. Can not see the navigation screen, nor the radio presets, blue tooth, stereo speaker settings, can't get to any of these settings or options.

Takata recall airbag light on and my SUV has been in 0 aciddents, the ac air states it's on but doesn't blow any air at all! it only has 69640k miles, knocking sound when I am on park or have the brake on while at red light or stop sign!.

When driving the parking light comes on, downhill assist comes on and the traction control goes off, then the speedometer goes from the currant speed to zero then flutters back to the correct speed, then repeats. This has happened at speeds from 25 mph to 70 mph. Dealer says they can't find out what is wrong.
