Windshield Wiper/washer Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe

The contact owns a 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that the windshield wiper fluid was low. The contact added additional fluid to the reservoir. After the additional fluid was added, the contact became aware that there was windshield wiper fluid on the garage floor. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the soy-based feeding tubes to the windshield wipers had been chewed on by rodents. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed there was no warranty coverage on the vehicle, and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 700. The VIN was not available.

So many things going wrong back seat belts don't work, washer pump don't work tried to order part from dealer do not have any in us the camshaft sensor pigtail disintegrated from being to close to the engine and no one sells the part have to buy the complete engine wiring kit for one little plastic piece there should be a recall on this I read online that everyone with this car had the same problems.

The washer fluid does not squirt onto the window. At best, the fluid sometimes dribbles out and hits the lowest part of the window, but only after holding the washer fluid button for up to 30 seconds. The dealership told me that the line was probably frozen and there was nothing they could do. They recommended I check the fluid line for blockage or heat it up with a hair dryer. I have the same problem on two different cars from the same manufacturer, and the problem exists in all types of weather. During light snow and rain, the window gets dirty and I have to pull off the road to clean the window in order to continue driving. I think that's a significant safety issue.

The contact owns a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving 20 mph in the rain, the passenger side windshield wiper shut off. The dealer has not inspected the vehicle. The current and failure mileages were 39,995.

Windshield wipers bolts have loosened 5 times since 2003. The latest was on 4/12/07. The time before was 0 on 1/28/07. Four out of the five events happened during rain and snow events on I- 95 driving at 65 mph. One second you can see, the next you cannot. I for one have never seen bolts holding windshield wiper arms onto the vehicle in the first place. Obviously for good reason. Something needs to be done to correct this situation.

Consumer experiencing problems with windshield wiper blades, and has the impression that it is a common problem. The dealer told the consumer the wiper blades but be loosened from the windshield manually before they are turned on or they will not work. The dealer also told the consumer to try and find any loose nuts and re-tightened them, which the consumer did, which did not keep the wipers from stopping in the middle of operation. The consumer was not satisfied with the installation of the running boards and had them replaced at his own expense. The heater made a noise as if something was caught in the fan box.
