The sensor comes on and off sporadically for my abs and traction control. I believe there is a short as the lights come on more often on humid days. I have heard this could cause spontaneous combustion of the vehicle given the location of the sensor. I transport 4 young grandchildren in this vehicle and we are now afraid of dying in a car fire. The dealer wants a fortune to replace this sensor. Given other year sante fe SUV have been recalled for this issue I would like the 2016 models recalled as well. This has been ongoing for a few weeks now. Comes on when I start vehicle on humid days. Goes off on dry days. The dealer said he will report that I could not afford the repair and if I do get a fire from it the insurance company will not cover it as I was informed of the problem. Sounds like blackmail to me.

While driving about 65 mph on the highway all of the warning lights (engine, oil, etc. . . ) came on at the same time and the car just shut down and lost power steering. Luckily I was able to pull over without any problems. The vehicle wouldnt start. It just mad a click when turning the key. All of the lights work in the vehicle. The vehicle has about 82,000 miles.

I was driving to work and my esc off light came on. As soon as it came on my brakes got touchy, my entire car started shaking like crazy, & my car would not go over 20-25 miles. I had to press the brakes really hard bc I was afraid that I was going to hit another car.

While driving at varying speeds, while going over speed bumps, turning corner, more noticeable at slower speeds, is a clicking noise & almost feels like a momentary lose of control of the steering. Not sure if it has to do with adaptable steering (sport, comfort, normal) control's, or the main controls of the steering.

Driving to work my engine started heating up and all electronics were not working properly and I lost speed control while on the highway there it starts to missfire also seatbelt is inside out not working properly on driver's side.

1. Speed sensor- replaced by recall and continue to fail. 2. Rear glass in hatchback, just broke origination from wiper hole in glass while the car was occupied sitting not moving a a parking lot. 3. Steering rattles because a shock damper wears out prematurely. 4. Seats- electric control button contacts tarnish with use and quit working.

At highway speed the computer has attempted to pull the car out of the lane into the adjoining lane as if in attempt to avoid something. This is happened at highway speed's about six times. Vehicle also at one time applied the emergency brake as the vehicle is approaching an intersection as an emergency stop. The car would not move for several seconds. When I brought the vehicle into the Hyundai dealership the representative immediately suggested that there was a rodent problem. This was confirmed not to be the case. As there did not appear to be any other computer messaging the technician suggested that maybe it was the California fastrack responder unit. They suggested it be relocated which I did. The problem lies that you're not sure that this is what caused the problem and the suggestion �to drive it to see if it repeated� as it does not sound prudent from a safety perspective. The computer pulls at a hard level which makes it difficult to maintain the vehicle in the lane and it suddenly releases the pulling which jerks the car back into the driving lane much like an over correction. This is obviously quite dangerous and I would suggest something else is done to either confirm or disapprove the responder issue as these responders are common and it was placed per the instructions of the fastrack.

The wiring harness which connects to the braking systems down hill and track, and abs breaking and warning light of oncoming cars when passing wires which are made of soybean based causing wiring to be eaten by rodents. Second time to fix another $55 dollars. This is scaring me when driving.

Several occasions the safety features of this 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe deactivates. 3+ occasions the vehicles frontal collision avoidance, lane keep assist blind spot detection automatic high beam lights as well as cross traffic alert suddenly will cut off. Have taken vehicle back to dealership where purchased to be told no codes are being stored. Contacted Hyundai USA several times to get a run around or the response if its not recording there is nothing wrong with the car. I have owned a 4 Hyundai Santa Fe's and never had the issues I am having like I am with this one. I do not take my grandkids in this vehicle as im worried that if these safety features fail to work I dont want to chance their lives in a vehicle that could possibly experience more severe issues or worse. Dealing with Hyundai has become a disappointment as the 2004 Santa Fe I own is by far more dependable than this one .

The fuel sensor stopped working. Pay to fix it but only lasted 1 month and than stop working again. Electrical. Was driving on highway heard a whining noise and then the car starting stalling. Won't turn on.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that the vehicle lost power and became difficult to steer. Also, the electronic stability control indicator illuminated intermittently on multiple occasions. The contact took the vehicle to fiesta Hyundai (1955 st michaels dr, Santa Fe, nm 87507, (505) 428-7100) where the throttle body, throttle body position sensor, and spark plugs were all replaced prior to the recent failure; however, the indicator continued to illuminate. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 145,000.

Abs,esc, brake warning lights on, incline warning light on wheel bearing speed sensors both had to be replaced codes indicated problem with wires, replaced but no solution.

Esc is intermittently turning itself off for no apparent reason when I am driving. Happens mostly when I first start driving and am at a very low speed, but also happens on the highway at higher speeds at times. Only way to turn it back on is to turn off the engine and re-start. Is happening more frequently over the last week (almost a daily occurrence).

While turning right out of a parking lot onto a two lane road, the vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating for 3-5 seconds as a truck was bearing down on us. The position of the gas pedal made no difference. The engine was running at an idle with zero response from pedal input. When it did finally accelerate, it lurched forward as the pedal was pressed to the floor. We are also experiencing what could be described as a shudder when decelerating to a stop. It typically seems to occur between 20-12 mph. It feels as if the engine is stumbling or it is having trouble downshifting smoothly.

For the past 12-14 mos I've had to add additional 1-4 quarts of oil after verifying low oil on dip stick in between regularly scheduled oil changes at firestone. They noted Dec 2019 internal oil leakage. Oil light never came on. Most recently Feb 14, 2020 check engine light came on checked dip stick twice it only had oil on tip, added 2 quarts oil, light went off. Check eng light came on few days later, repeated dip stick check =added 3 more quarts oil few days later. Repeated several xs throughout Feb 2020. Paid 3 separate mechanics all stated internal oil leak. 1 mechanic stated had several customers with same complaint. He informed me check with dealer for 1 recall or 2 extended warranty & due to oil consumption problem. He estimated approx $5k + to rebuild engine, piston rings issue. I called dealer asked cost for them to check was quoted Mini $139 to start. When they emailed appointment confirmation, I confirmed appmt Mar 14, 2020 & asked 1. If a recall existed 2. If extended warranted covered it. When I got there today I asked same 2 questions & was told to pay $42 for oil change #1 today & bring car every 1000 miles 3 more times free of charge so they can track internal oil leak. Was told extended warranty only went to 120,000, my car's @ 125,600. I asked why I wasnt informed of this extended warranty as I received letter last year when I brought car in for courtesy software update & 2018 another courtesy check, they couldnt explain. I feel if I didnt use buzz words 4th mechanic told me I would have been charged more $. A mechanic 3 days ago said I needed exhaust manifold catalytic convtr $1244 & new spark plugs & coils $703. Infomed this mechanic I pd $600 approx 6 mos ago for spark plugs due to hesitation in acceleration & jerky & sputtery motion. I feel like Hyundai is aware of this problem & I read similar issues resulting in fires. I'm still payin on car.

This vehicle started showing issues with key fob not working - gas gauge not accurate next cruise control light on also check engine light pointing to bad fuel pump sensor units - I've researched this and this is known issue - my car has only 70 k miles on it and huyndai refuses to do fix as this is not a recall and car is out of warranty - I say this is known issue and huyndai should cover this as a recall - vehicle is now unsafe and can shut off at any time during driving. . . . Serious safety issue. . Read more...

My car began to suddenly and automatically accelerate while driving on the freeway on August 4, 2019. The speed accelerated up to about 80mph before being able to get the car to slow down. The brakes were extremely difficult to depress. I had to keep my foot on the brake pedal and press as hard as I could in order to keep the car from accelerating again. Thank god, there were no cars directly in front of me or on the side of my car because this would have caused a very serious accident. I was eventually able to pull over onto the shoulder, but I was unable to completely stop the car from moving even though shifting to park. The car would not stop moving forward until I shut the engine off, which caused a very loud noise. My car had to be towed to the closest Hyundai dealer. The service man at the dealership diagnosed, repaired, inspected as well as test drove the car. The cost for repairs were close to $900. 00. Now, on the way home after picking up my car from being repaired on August 8, 2019, the same thing happened again. This time it was on a city street while trailing my husband at about 40mph when my car began to accelerate again. And again, the only way to stop the car was to press the brake as hard as I could, put it in park and turn off the engine. For anyone to drive this car is very unsafe and dangerous. I am afraid to drive this car again even if it is repaired . This could have been a very serious or fatal accident. The car was towed again to a Hyundai dealership nearby. I called Hyundai headquarters customer service to report the incident and to find out if there were any recalls on my car. I was told that there are currently no recalls. A case manager called me back but could not really help. She said they could possibly help with the reimbursement for a car rental if I decided to rent a car while my car is being repaired.

Using the car in eco when entering the interstate I'm speeding up my car goes higher in rpms and is not shifting to correct the change and I'll have to flip it into manual and shift into a higher gear. This has happened at least 3 times and does not happen every time but the first time almost got me hit by a car because I couldn't slow down due to timing and also was not speeding up correctly due to the car not auto correcting.

My son, zacher tiburzi was driving the car. While decelerating down from 60 mph on approach to bridge toll plaza, at about 40 mph the esc light came on, the engine lost power and the steering became very hard to work.

Warning lights for abs and esc systems come on when vehicle is started and do not go off as they are suppose to. Appears to be an equipment failure. Lights stay on when vehicle in motion. Both lights came on while driving on a highway.

Hyundai recalls Santa Fe for alternator oil leak. Santa fe crossover to fix an oil leak, caused by a faulty valve cover gasket, that could affect alternator performance. . Dealer said they wont honor the recall cause its out of warranty. Also the coil was not replaced and a recall was sent out also on coil spring. The wont honor that.

While on a highway running at 75 mph my "esc off" light came on as well as my "check engine" light at the same time. As soon as these lights turn on I can no longer accelerate and my vehicle slowly comes to a stop. During this time, everything else including brakes, signal lights, radio and all other features seem to be functional with the exception of the acceleration pedal which does nothing. When the vehicle comes to a stop and I put it into park, the engine seems to hiccup a little bit as it sits until I turn the vehicle completely off and restart it. After doing so, the vehicle acts completely normal with the exception of the check engine light being on. This has happened multiple times with increasing frequency. It happens on city streets and highways and it doesn't seem to be a mechanical issue. This is potentially very dangerous so that is why I am filing a formal complaint. I have also noticed that there are many others on here that have filed this exact complaint and this needs to be recalled.

Driving at 60mph the esc off light appeared and the vehicle came to a 5mhp slow down quickly and the steering was extremely hard to pull off the road as if the engine had died. I was almost hit by a logging truck. This is an extremely dangerous problem.

Steering locked up, difficult to turn. Warning steering light came on and brake warning light. Down hill warning light came on. It was a blessing that I was during only 30mph.

On March 5, this vehicle stopped while driving in the middle of a street. I was unable to start the vehicle and me and my passenger could have been seriously injured or killed. Car was towed to dealership and has 2600 miles on it. I have found that Hyundai is doing a recall to replace starter and a software update. I have been told that because of the new technology this vehicle has which is an automatic start and stop at a stop sign or stop light that the starter shorted out and apparently the software in the car just stops the car while driving. . This happened while driving the car at 35 miles/hour on a busy street. It is a miracle that I was not hit and injured or killed. Car is at the dealership waiting for a new starter and software update with a possible ship date of March 31, 2019. These 2019 Santa Fe are not safe to be selling to the public with this known defect.

Brake lights remain on, stability control is turned off and cruise control doesn't work. This is a safety hazard to vehicles following, a lack of vehicle stability control, an inability to maintain a constant speed on the freeway. There has been a historic recall on this issue - but not for this specific VIN. This vehicle obviously is using the same defective part. Battery runs down and vehicle won't start unless battery is disconnected (due to brake lights remaining on).

About 20 minutes after parking my vehicle at an office location, it caught on fire. I could see the fire by the right front wheel, between the tire and the body; smoke was coming from all around the hood. We put out the fire with a fire extinguisher. We could see damaged wires. I had noticed warning lights on my display panel when I got into my vehicle to start driving. I called clay cooley Hyundai of rockwall and informed them of the messages: beeping followed by flashing messages about abs, esc, & downhill brake control; plus down below were two red circles (exclamation mark in one and the letter p in the other) and the word brake below. I asked Hyundai if the car was safe to drive and they said yes. I proceeded to my 12 noon appointment in richardson, TX. About 20 mins after parking the car, the fire was noticed by an employee. The day before this, on tue, 01-29-2019, I had noticed 3 amber warning lights (abs, esc & dbc). I called Hyundai, informed them of this and made an appointment for thur Jan 31, 2019 at 9:30 a. M.

My car had the brake light switch repaired in 2013 before I owned the vehicle under recall 13v113000. Now the brake light switch has failed again. I first noticed the issue when I went to start my car and could not put the car in reverse. This happened seemingly out of nowhere after the car had been parked and off for about 10 minutes. My brake lights, electronic stability control, and cruise control do not work and I cannot shift the transmission. When I called Hyundai I was told that the part was replaced in 2013 so there is no longer a recall option, even though the part is failing again.

I bought a 2009 hyndai Santa Fe in 2013 with only 40,000 miles on it and had no problems until December of 2018. I drove about 20 miles and on the way back home it started going as slow as 5 miles an hour; I don't know if it is an issue about being recalled but I still have 2 more years of payments and the truck isn't working!!!.

Nothing has happened yet but abs,esc,dbc and parking brake light all on. I have looked this up and it seems this is happening to many of these vehicles. I'm just wondering why a recall has not been approved, for all these systems are serious safety issues. I'm bringing mine to the dealership Monday but was told I would more than likely be responsible for payment of this problem.

Incident occurred on I-65. My husband and I were traveling home from a quick road trip. While passing another vehicle at 75mph, our sante made a weird noise, then loud sound and went dead. My husband fought to control the car, barely avoided a possible fatal crash. We called Hyundai roadside assistance and was told they only tow 47 miles. The nearest dealer was 50 miles away. We were left stranded, no service or tow truck from Hyundai showed up. Had to call family to come get us (nearly 3 hours away). We had to rent a uhaul auto transport and truck to recover our car on the side of I-65, heading to our hometown, we were stranded in verbena, al. Hyundai finally towed car to dealership once in hometown, was told by service tech that our car had "catastrophic engine damage and a new engine has been ordered, at no charge, due to our car was part of the recall. Was told we "might" be reimbursed for our incurred expense of having to tow the car ourselves. We purchased the car brand new, with an added roadside assistance package, which we were assured we'd never be stranded, which proved a useless sales ploy. 3 disabled persons and a highway patrol officer had to manually load the car onto the auto transport, one of which fell on the road and cut their knee. Why is additional roadside assistance offered when the dealership neglected to inform us that there was only a 47 mile towing radius. We were assured that "we'd be covered no matter where we might travel. We have a rental, which resulted in us paying a deposit out of our own pocket, "that should be refunded upon return of the rental". Full reimbursement and or a new car should be offered, due to the catastrophic engine damage (the term the Hyundai service tech used) that occurred to our 2014 Santa Fe sport with less than 53,000 miles. Thanks Hyundai roadside assistance for leaving us stranded.

Check engine light stays on after a professional reset brakes light wont go off unless I unhook the battery.

"takata recall" my car constantly has the esc off light come on while I'm driving. I can be going 5 miles per hour or 60 miles per hour. I can be in my neighborhood or riding on the interstate. I was sitting still the other day and the light came on causing me to not be able to hit the gas. This has been going on for over a week now, since 05/14/18.

Traction control light comes on. Prevents shifter to go into park. Must rurn engine off on nuetral then turn car on to eliminate traction control error in order ro put shifter into park.
