Radio/tape Cd Player Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe

We were sitting at red light in a busy intersection at night and the vehicle started hesitating and cut off. We tried pressing the automatic start and it kept hesitating and everything went black on the instrument panel. After 3rd time it started and we were able to get home. It started having more hesitation while to go up hills and low speeds. The automatic start /stop also stopped working in the vehicle. I also was having trouble with the blue link system, they were having to reset it each month until they decided to make a ticket for repair in which took a month or so in order for the engineers to see if it was default on there end. Then they decided to set me up for a appointment to have it looked at through Hyundai, which now they saw I have to have whole new head radio head unit with blue link and also a new transmission. Purchased brand new and it has low mileage and need transmission. I'm loosing faith in Hyundai!.

There is one recall out on my 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe sport having to do with risk of engine compartment fire. The abs system can leak onto an electrical motor and cause an engine compartment fire. I have never received an official word on this recall - only word of month/ radio. There is no remedy yet until end of October 2020.

I purchased this car used in 2011. Over the years, at random times, the radio will "pop" off and back on again. It doesn't seem to affect the rest of the electrical system in the car, but it's a little scary when it happens - mechanic can't replicate. Now, twice in the last week, my car has stalled while slowing down, once on a multi-lane street and once after decelerating coming off the expressway (complete loss of power, steering, brakes, etc). I put the car in neutral and it started right back up, but this has happened in heavy traffic and scared the p out of me! I'm terrified that this might happen at a higher speed on the expressway. I have seen several mentions of similar power losses for this same vehicle. I have no check engine lights and no codes come up when scanned. No recalls reported either, although a power loss at the wrong time could kill someone. Not sure if this is electrical, engine or fuel system related - I had over a half a tank of gas in the car during both occurrences.

Santafe won't start. Everything comes on dash and radio and ac but car won't even turn over. I talked to a mechanic who said this has been a reacuring problem. Just wondering why no recall if it keeps happening. I came home and when I tried to leave it wouldn't start. Waited and it started. Then I got up the next day and again won't start.

Purchased 2013 Santa Fe sport in Jan 2018, with 60k miles. 7k miles added, to date. May 2018, drove through a car wash, water entered the cab through a seal above the dashboard. Hyundai service investigated, replaced moon roof seal, and then reported that the moon roof seal was not the cause, further investigation needed, at a cost, to us, of $400. We respectfully declined. Water entering the vehicle, during a heavy rain, could prove to be very dangerous. 6/02/18, merged onto highway, speed of 75 mph, 9:45 am, clear skies, fairly moderate traffic. Without warning, engine lost all power, attempted to accelerate, negative results, non-responsive. Vehicle began to slow, turned hazard warning lights on, and coasted to the next exit. There were approximately 4 cars behind me when I lost engine power. Fortunately, I was able to safely exit, the freeway, and coast downhill, to a nearby chevron station, without causing a major accident. (would my wife or children have been as fortunate?) turned the vehicle off and then on again. The vehicle had electrical power and initiated a self check, results unknown. The check engine warning light/battery light/oil light were all visible on the dash board. While the vehicle was performing a self diagnostic test. . . A cloud of smoke/burning smell emitted from the ac vent located near the radio. Vehicle was towed to the Hyundai dealer, where purchased. A diagnostic check and visual inspection revealed that the engine had seized and was related to previous engine recall. Problem: machining errors during the engine manufacturing process may cause premature bearing wear within the engine, this could result in the engine seizing, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix: dealers will inspect the engine and replace the engine short block, as necessary, for free. Dangerous, busy highways, high speed. . . . Fatalities probable.

I bought a new car June 2014 and when it was rain my windshield wiper has no water come out. So I went to dealer to check out and I found out that the motor & pump assy. Was bad. But the problem is washer pump had tape around body and it looks used one. It was brand new car when I buy. I am just wondering what else going to be bad. I spend more $33k and I am really upset. What else did they use used parts for my vehicle?? what should I do? I do not want my any anymore. Thanks.

Numerous visits to the local dealer from 2010 through this visit for clunking and banging of the suspension with concerns for safety. They begrudgingly replaced a tie rod in 2011 on one side, link assembly stabilizer on both sides, lower arm assembly on left - and now that right controller arm is faulty and could cause a crash they refuse to honor the warranty. When there are concerns of safety for over 3 years for the same issue I believe they need to launch a full scale investigation. Hyundai is in the news for other suspension failures. Obviously faulty/poor quality parts are known. Hyundai needs to live up to the 60,000 mile extended warranty I had, and the 10 year 100,000 warranty I still have. The wear ad tear on this vehicle is minimal (driven to work 6 miles roundtrip and easy freeway driving maybe once a month). In addition to the suspension my passenger visor fell off the ceiling and dangles unless duct taped. Way to go Hyundai.

While driving on a highway at approximately 65 mph I flipped down the driver's side sun visor to block the sun. The visor broke leaving it dangling in my line of vision. Startled and stooping to see under the dangling visor I managed to hold it up and out of my way until I could find a store to purchase some duct tape. Taping it was quick temporary fix. High temperatures kept the tape from sticking securely and the visor continued to fall down as I was driving. Forcing my attention away from the street and back to the visor. I am 58 years old, have owned the car for 6 years, and have not abused the visor.

While driving home from vacation, 600 miles into the drive and 200 miles from home, I hear a loud bang. I look up to find that the sunroof of my car has exploded. Nothing hit the car and no debris at the instant of the explosion fell into the car. It seemed to have exploded outward but there was no evidence of what caused the explosion. Small shards of glass from around the edge of the gaping hole began to fall into the car, though the majority of the glass had flown out because I was going 65mph. I pulled over, patched the sunroof with duct tape and trash bags and continued to drive home. I will take the car to the dealership tomorrow to get it fixed. After a quick google search, I turned up that Hyundai is recalling other cars because of this problem. My car has a panoramic sunroof, just like the velosters. Nhtsa, please broaden your investigation of Hyundais' sunroofs to include Santa Fe sports too!!.

On 01/02/2010, I bought a Hyundai Santa Fe limited from a car dealer named southern states imports in raleigh. A few days later, I noticed that the front seat passenger airbag off red light stayed on occasionally regardless of the weight or position of the front seat occupant. Around the same time, I noticed that the cd player occasionally automatically tripped over to the radio and vice versa. I called the dealership and received conflicting advice on what I should do at this time. However, I chose the advice of my first contact person at the dealership and decided to wait until either or both my complaints occurred again. Two days after this decision, the airbag off light did not go off as I was traveling to downtown raleigh, nc. The next morning, I noticed that instead of the entertainment center opening to a cd music set (since it was last on cd), music from a radio station started playing. The next day- Monday, I dropped the car at the dealerships service department. After 2-3 days of testing, I was asked to pick up my car and told they were unable to duplicate my complaints. Both dealership and USA Hyundai advised me to bring it into service as soon as I notice either complaint happening again regardless of time. A few days later (2-3 days) the same complaints (airbag and radio problems) re-occurred and I dropped the Santa Fe at southern states Hyundai dealership service station with one of my sons at about 10. 15 p. M. Ofcourse, I have been informed by both dealership and us Hyundai that they problems could not be detected or duplicated. As a result of the above problems, I have no confidence to drive this particular Hyundai and the car in question has remained in the hands of the southern states Hyundai dealership and/or service department.

Continuation of complaint 10302521. Since last service dept visit, dvd player worked fine for approx. 2 months. Now in July 2010, dvd player is back to switching to xm at random at least 1 x wk and up to 1 x day. Mostly after bumpy rds. But service dept refuses it is a loose wire. They have continually stated they do not want to tear apart steering wheel even though that and the actual player are the last areas not replaced. Srvce dept stands by intertwining radio signals, then why is it switching to xm and not picking up the random signal. Feel like I have to live with it. Srvc dept again suggested I leave car so they can search again but no guarantees. Does anyone know if there is a fix.

Hyundai Santa Fe purchased on 12 sept 2009. Dvd screen not functioning, could hear movie not see it. Dealership replaced screen in October 2009. Since then, the dvd rse system has intermittently changed from dvd to xm or cd at will. Rear passengers are not able to reach the dvd buttons due to age and child safety seats. Rse is locked from front controls. Dvd system continues to switch from dvd to xm or cd at least once per day causing the passengers to be blasted with high volume music. In October 2009, the internal electrical control system (for doors and windows and such) was replaced and the alarm system was reset (it kept arming itself randomly). In November 2009, the alarm system was reset again and the dvd problem was brought to mechanics attention again. Alarm system was fixed but they could not replicate the dvd problem. Took car in again 16 January 2010, was told intertwining outside radio signals and the fact I work on a military base were causing the dvd to switch. Ft sam houston, TX is mainly a medical training military base. Mechanic replicated problem but later told shop manager that he couldn't replicate the problem with out driving in town where I normally drive. Mechanic and repair shop manager stated it could not be a loose plug or wiring it was the radio signals. This occurs at random and I thought it was from bumps in the road until it continued to happen when driver was not touching the steering wheel or radio controls, at stop lights, and on smooth roads. I researched this problem and found a blog on edmunds stating Hyundai has know about this and audio problems since 2007 but nothing will fix dvd problem.

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact heard a high-pitched noise coming from the radio. She called the dealer on March 4, 2008 and was advised to bring the vehicle in for service. Once at the dealer, they inspected the radio and informed her that they needed to order the part for the repair. On March 21, 2008, the contact returned to the dealer and they kept the vehicle for approximately 30 days. The dealer sent her a certified letter, notifying her to retrieve the vehicle. On April 18, 2008, the contact picked up her vehicle and spoke with the general manager concerning a new radio for the vehicle. On June 19, 2008, a new radio was installed, but it also made a noise. She currently has to meet with a Hyundai representative to inspect the radio and determine whether Hyundai will continue to assist with the failure. The failure mileage was 12 and current mileage was 3,100.

When the problem happened the first time, the radio started turned off by itself. I was in the parking lot of a store. I went in and did my shopping and then went to another store. When I got done at the 2nd store, the car wouldn't start. I had someone give me a jump start as the road side assistance was going to take 3 hours. I drove the car to the dealership and dropped it off. That was a Saturday and they were already closed. By the time they looked at it on Monday, the car started. The 2nd time it happened, I was on my lunch break. The radio started to go off by itself again and the interior lights began to dim out. I drove it again to the dealership so they could see what it was doing. They said it was the alternator. They replaced the alternator and 5 days later it began again. I was stopped at a stop light when my radio turned off and the lights dimmed out again. The car was wanting to stall out again. When I turned it off, it wouldn't start again. They replaced the battery. Another 5 days later, it happened again. They replace the alternator and the battery. It was in the shop a total of 4 times. They said the upgraded alternator and the gel battery they installed will keep it from happening again, but said the texas heat in August had some effect on it. We will see what happens again in August. So far so good. I just wanted to report it and just found out where to do it.
