Electrical Jack Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe

Over one month ago, my gps viewer showed a wrong time. I reset the clock and exited the feature. The clock quit appearing on the screen. At first I didn't notice it. Then when I did, I wasn't able to enter the program to set the clock: it was all dark on the choices. I read both my manuals and nothing in them talked about this problem. I had several friends read the manual and they couldn't find any information to fix this either. When I went for an oil change, I found out that this issue was affecting lots of vehicles and they said there was a couple of things they could do to attempt to fix it. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. Mine didn't. No one contacted me to alert me to the problem (said maybe a cell tower issue when I was at the dealers). I have to access my fitbit to get the time which requires squeezing the sides of it and sometimes scrolling it. Not suppose to use your cell phone for safety, but messing with my fitbit under my jacket is just as bad. Why weren't we notified. Google shows people have been complaining about this problem for some time now. I'm a senior citizen and may not be using correct terms for the gps stuff. It is a safety issue when your eyes aren't on the road as they should be and messing with your fitbit. Yes I can invest in a watch again, but why should I have to do this? doesn't matter if I am driving or stationary, it doesn't work!!!!!.

7-18/2017 car brought to auto nation in brunswick GA for engine recall check. Car was returned to owner without ever testing engine as requested. It was not disclosed to customer that engine was not checked. 4 days later on 7/22/2017 driver going 70 mph on hwy 95 in jacksonville engine starting making knocking noise and ceased up completely turning off. Driver barely made it off to the side of the road. To make matters worse Hyundai roadside assistance charged driver $174 to tow vehicle to nearest dealership.

The front sunroof on my 2016 Santa Fe I bought in Jan 2016 that has approx. 8000 miles, exploded on the way to work while driving on the interstate. It sounded like a gun shot in my right ear, then glass began to fall on my head and throughout the car - I'm sure the majority of it was sucked out and onto the interstate. (I had the sun shade inside opened so my child could watch the rain on the ride to the babysitters. )I found others with the same problem when I googled it. Car was towed to dealership and issue would be covered under warranty I was told, I was given a loaner while it was fixed. No other vehicles in front of or behind me within 4 car lengths at least. I did not pass under an overpass. It was raining that day (of course - that's my luck) when I got to work I closed the sun shade on the inside as best as I could with all the glass that was in the track, and taped garbage bags over it to preserve the inside. I went to dealership later to take additional pictures and you can tell the glass was blow outwards. There was even chips in the paint through the clear coat from when glass flew. I'm thankful I was the only one in the car at the time, but my child's car seat is full of glass remains. I wasn't hurt - only a few cuts from glass that was in my jacket pocket and in my clothes. I am still at a loss as to what happened, how and why - unknown. And so far the dealership has not communicated anything to me, but I hope they make it right.

When taking off from stop or traffic signal, making left turn, vehicle rear end ( sounds like rear end or awd) makes thumping, slipping, bumping noise which can be felt through out vehicle. First noticed about 3000 miles. Thought it may be a normal condition for an awd vehicle, but the condition has progressively gotten worse! taken to dealer 2 time now, they state they can not find any problem, they replaced the trans fluid, the rear diff fluid, but it is still getting worse! service manager went for ride with me after stating he could not feel the condition on vehicle, but he only drove vehicle in parking lot of dealership. I told him it happens when turning at lights or stop signs. . . He was driving straight. On our test drive together, he definitely felt what I was talking about, asked his shop forman to get in vehicle with us, he felt the condition as well, but said he did not know what it could be. They kept vehicle for 2 days, replaced transmission fluid, read differential fluid and a few other items, gave vehicle back, and asked me to see if doing this helped rectify the problem. . . . . It has not, contacted Hyundai, got a claim #, and was told to take vehicle to another dealership to have them look at vehicle. . . . Vehicle currently has 9000 miles and just turned 1 year old since new. We bought this Santa Fe to replace a 2008 that had similar trans/awd issues, that left us stranded 3 times on the side of I-95 (trans & awd blew up on us driving to florida keys on I-95 at 70 mph) in fall of 2012. . . . . After dealer in jacksonville attempted repairs from first breakdown. Unfortunately, florida does not sell awd vehicles, and apparently they do not know how to fix these things.
