Battery Dead Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe

The vehicle stops running in the road without warning and is unable be restarted. Attempts to charge the battery fail. When taken to be evaluated by the brand dealership, they only change the battery and say that it has been fixed. Within 3-4 weeks, it will shut down in the road again. This has occurred four times, and each time, I take to be serviced and they are unable to reproduce the failing issue. I have reached out to corporate, and have quickly dismissed my case. There was a class action lawsuit in 2016 concerning the exact issues I am experiencing with the vehicle. I would think with this type of documented liability, there would have been a recall on the vehicles or a warning notice dealerships were required to present with the sale. I do not feel comfortable trading the car in as the issue will be transferred to another consumer.

Recently while driving the car seems to hesitate then has a minor acceleration. It seems as if its about to stall but catches and accelerates or increases to original speed. This is concerning especially when it occurs during rush hour traffic. In addition, I had to replace the battery at 24, 348 miles as the car died on me twice while traveling. I purchased a battery from o'rielly auto parts as it was closer to my home. The dealer would only state that battery failure has occurred with less than 30,000 miles on the sante fe however since I didn't bring my car to them the battery is not covered under warranty. It is unbelievable that battery life is this short.

I am a medical personnel and work night hours. I own a Hyundai Santa Fe 2001 and have electrical problems. The car running but at stop cannot handle headlights, heater, radio and internal lights, which is a problem if I were ever stuck. It has happened in summer and winter and can be dangerous if I'm stranded. I have brought this vehicle to 2 different Hyundai dealers and there are no problems found, yet I brought my vehicle to pep boys and sears and they said my battery was failing. I replaced battery at sear's 3 months ago and lights are starting to dim again. The response from Hyundai service department was to turn off headlights? isn't that dangerous?.

Purchased "new" it took over six hours to deliver the vehicle on site. 1. )the "security system failed returned to jim ellis; "no correction" to date. 2. )several other defects existed: battery failed leaving me stranded at least twice, brakes ware quickly and repeatedly require repairs, heated seats on at "all" times, the temperature remains on "celsius" rather than on than "fereinheight" temperatures, clock won't set to current month,date, year. 3. )the 10 year;100 mile warranty is disregarded/minimized; from 24,000 miles. 4. ) while in for defect review; the car has been returned to me from 2 dealerships with "dings" up and down the side; dents on corners(physical damage). In addition repairs weren't made and managers looked the "other way" and failed to return calls or respond to letters. Also the "check engine" light became a new issue and defect initiated the evening the vehicle was returned home. Was told to anticipate engine trouble to be initiated in the near future despite the oil change date being within limits. Was told that excessive oil existed and blamed me. Then demanded I pay several hundred dollars "before" they'd release car to me. (needed for work). Mgrs were defensive and shut down regarding information. 5. )the "recalls" aren't recognized or corrected on 1st,2nd, or 3rd request-I'm told by the dealership they don't have the computer to do it.
