Turn Signal Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe

Notice: this concern is not the result of an accident, it is an attempt to bring attention to what I feel is poor engineering/design of the turn signal indicators on the back end of the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe. We recently purchased this vehicle and just noticed, after owning the vehicle for about a week, that the only turn signal indicators on the back of the vehicle are located down low in the bumper. No turn signal indicators on the tail light assemblies located just below the rear window of the SUV as found on every other recently built SUV currently driving on us highways. That includes the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe which we traded in to purchase this model. While I like this vehicle very much, I'm concerned for the safety of my family and anyone else who purchases a 2021 Santa Fe. I feel this is a grave oversight on the part of Hyundai and possibly the us vehicle safety council (assuming the council approves car designs designated for us highways. ) I sincerely hope that someone there will address this situation before people start getting hurt because the turn signal wasn't seen by following drivers.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that the turn signal indicators and the cruise control feature would not operate when needed. In addition, the ecm warning indicator illuminated when the failures occurred. Also, when the contact replaced the rear passenger side turn signal bulb, the rear driver side bulb also failed to operate. Furthermore, the contact stated that both brake lights began to fail after the bulbs were replaced. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the ecm failed. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failures. The contact discovered NHTSA campaign number: 13v113000 (service brakes, hydraulic, exterior lighting), which listed the same failures she was experiencing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 185,000.

On low speed turns (below 20 mph) the engine and transmission exhibit a loss of power. This jeopardizes my family's safety when turning in traffic. I have opened a case with Hyundai America (#9484960) who left me a voicemail (still have it) stating there is a software update to address the issue I described. I had update #16-01-032 applied on 08/15/2016. However, the issue is till present. I also just discovered that when towing a trailer the right turn signal does not work. This is another safety issue. Additionally the lights of the trailer constantly run even when the power is completely off. Lastly the harness where the trailers electrical plugs into on the vehicle, pops out of place when plugging it in. In turn causing me to reseat the vehicles harness each time. I want out of this vehicle but they will not offer me a buy back. I plan to contact a lemon law attorney as I am unable to receive help otherwise.

The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe. In November of 2008, the contact noticed that the turn signal indicators were not working while driving 40 mph. She took the vehicle to the dealer three times and they replaced the turn signal fuse, but this did not correct the failure. A diagnostic was unable to locate the failure code. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The contact will notify the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 47,000 and current mileage was 50,700.
