NHTSA Complaint #11309173 — 2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

ENGINE ''2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE LIMITED. 3.3L 6 CYL FWD. I OWN THIS VEHICLE. I RECENTLY READ ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION SUITS AGAINST KIA AND HYUNDAI REGARDING ENGINE FAILURES AND FIRES. HTTPS://WWW.NCCONSUMER.ORG/NEWS-ARTICLES/SETTLEMENT-REACHED-WITH-HYUNDAI-KIA-IN-CLASS-ACTION-LAWSUIT-ALLEGING-ENGINE-DAMAGE-FIRES.HTML. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT OUR 2017 KIA SOUL THAT HAS AN ENGINE FAILURE. WHEN READING THIS ARTICLE I NOTICED UNDER THE NEW DEFECT INVESTIGATIONS PARAGRAPH THAT 2011-2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE'S HAVE ALSO BEEN LISTED FOR POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT LIST OR FURTHER DEFINE IF IT IS ONLY FOR THE 2.0 L MOTORS AND MAY NOT INCLUDE THE 3.3 L. OUR HYUNDAI SANTA FE HAD AN ISSUE IN THE PAST. IT TOOK THE DEALER A MONTH TO DEFINE AND REPAIR. IT WAS COMPLETED UNDER THE MFG. WARRANTY AND I BELIEVE FINALLY A RECALL. THE FUEL LINE WOULD COLLAPSE WHEN YOU DEPRESSED THE FUEL PEDAL STARVING THE ENGINE OF FUEL. THIS CAUSED A LOSS IN POWER AND FORWARD MOMENTUM THAT BECAME UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AT THIS TIME, IT IS STARTING TO DO THE SAME THING. AFTER READING THIS ARTICLE, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A POSSIBLE ENGINE FAILURE IN THE FUTURE NOW THAT MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN ANY FUTURE RECALLS (THERE IS NOT ONE NOW) THAT MAY INVOLVE THIS SPECIFIC MOTOR AND VEHICLE. ALSO, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SUNROOF, THE ENTERTAINMENT ELECTRONICS, AND AC/HEATING ELECTRICAL CAB CONTROLS. MANY ERROR MESSAGES ARE WRITTEN IN THE HYUNDAI LANGUAGE. THE DEALER STATED THEY NEEDED TO CHANGE OUT THE ONBOARD COMPUTER FOR A LIST PRICE OF $2,600.00. THE SECOND-ROW SEAT HEATERS HAVE FAILED AFTER THE WARRANTY AND HAVE HARDLY EVER BEEN USED. DEALER WANTED OVER $600 PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE EACH SEAT.
