general problems of the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe

Six weeks ago the alternator and battery had also been replaced. My Hyundai Santa Fe sport turbo engine, exhibited a persistent rubber-like odor for approximately three weeks after the latest maintenance. During this period, the push-start button intermittently failed, requiring multiple attempts to engage, and the vehicle experienced noticeable shaking. After being parked, smoke began to emerge from under the hood, followed by visible flames. Within roughly 3-5mins minutes, the vehicle was completely engulfed in fire and blew up 6 times. Notably, the car had undergone significant repairs in the past year, including an engine replacement, starter, oem parts, O2 sensors, brakes, valve cover gasket, new tires, and routine oil changes.

Passenger side front and driver's side back seatbelt latches fail to latch.

Seat belt on drivers side does not retract without assistance. I took it to hyundia and they refused to fix it while the car was under warranty. The engine started burining excessive amounts of oil around 60k miles. We changed the spark plugs and found them to be covered in oil and corroded. We changed them again and they are worse. (recommended every 100k miles. ) the engine stalled once in traffic and continues to nearly stall when driven. The car has been burning in excess of 1 quart every 1000 miles since turning 75k miles. We were never notified of the engine failue issues with our SUV. At 96k mile it became so bad we took it in to hyundia in perrysburg OH taylor hyundia. We weree informed about the engine issue and they began an oil comsumption test. However the technicians when instructed to add 2 1/2 quarts of oil they added 5 ruining the testing. Then they claimed that the engine was only consuming 1/2 quart however we took a picture of the dip stick prior to brining it in and the oil was as always below the "l". We were then told we had to pay for an $800 engine flushing followed by 3 more consumption tests. Even if the tests show more than 1 quart of oil burning hyundia may still refuse to replace the failing engine under warranty.

Takata recall, the seat belt is getting stocked and tight during driving also doesn't recline when taking it off still hanging, the fuel evaporates from the fuel tank and doesn't give any mileage as described when driving feel every little thing on the road including small rocks.

I bought the car new in puerto rico. After hurricane maria I moved to florida. I tried to get my car service for two recalls here in florida. They tried to get in contact with puerto rico in order to get paid for the repairs. I also called them and they told me to write them a letter asking to register the car here. They have not answer any of my four request. What can we do?.

Recently we could not undo the seatbelt that our 6 year old grandson was strapped in. The more tried to extend it to release the tension the tighter it became. My grandson was being crushed and was screaming. The vehicle was not running and was parked in the driveway. I had to run into the garage and get a pair of scissors and cut the seatbelt to get him out. To replace the seatbelt is going to cost over $400 and the dealer will not pay for it as they said it was our fault.
