Engine has always burned oil and vehicle only has 72,000 miles on it.leaking black liquid/oil out exhaust pipe, blowing out Black clouds of smoke and have to keep adding oil. Whole rear end had to be replaced, timing chain and cover replaced, AC unit replaced, rear camera replaced, climate controls change settings by them selves, leaking gaskets, all this and more has been going on with this vehicle when it only had 35,000 Miles on it. Front suspension creaks for years. No way a vehicle should have all these issues with low mileage and has been very well cared for!

This complaint relates to Recall Campaign 251 from Hyundai, specifically the ABS Control Module. I own an affected 2013 Hyundai Sante Fe Sport. I bought it used in October 2023, and it driven by my minor child. While the affected components have yet to cause a problem, the mere fact that this vehicle could start on fire concerns me. Moreover, Hyundai has the wherewithal to fix the problem, rather than simply replacing a fuse and hoping for the best. As a father, it is my privilege and responsibility to protect and provide for my family. In order for me to do this, I would like NHTSA to throw the full weight of their influence on Hyundai and insist that they fix this problem. The very least they could do is provide a suitable vehicle as a loaner until my vehicle is fixed. Better yet, they can buy this vehicle and...

Doors unlock without warning while driving.

Please reference NHTSA recall number 23V651000. I am registering a complaint because the manufacturer has failed to remedy this safety issue in a timely manner. It is a fire hazard. Our vehicle is among the affected. This needs to be rectified immediately.

Burning smell and smoke. No oil leak. Car will not start. I do not have another vehicle to use. I have 2 young children

The ABS sensor failed on my vehicle, causing it to no longer accelerate past 20 mph on the highway. This put my safety at risk, as well as my passengers and others on the road because it happened suddenly while I was on the highway. My car could no longer accelerate suddenly while all cars around me were traveling at high speeds. The ABS light came on my dash, as well as the traction control and incline warning. I can no longer drive my vehicle so it has not been inspected yet.

Hyundai has not yet come up with a remedy. There is conflicting information about whether car is drivable considering fire can occur while in operation. I have read some information to suggest it can be driven until ABS warning light comes on however that information is not included in recall notice. Would NHTSA be able to confirm we can drive the vehicle if ABS light is not on? Have contacted Hyundai and there is still no remedy. No offer of compensation, buy back or loaner. Note while we can park our vehicle outside, it is not at all reasonable to suggest it be parked away from buildings. That suggests we could be held liable if the car catches fire and nearby structures catch fire. Cars would have to be parked in a field or vacant lot somewhere far and away from any home or business, rendering the vehicle not usable....

My car engine compartment fire while parked in front of my condo

Issue # 1 - Door open light flashing on instrumental panel. I checked out the door and it was closed tightly. It continues to flash today (09/13/2023). During the end of April 2023, I could not lock my doors and the interior dome light stayed on. I was not aware of this and it drained my battery a couple of times in which my vehicle would not start. I now keep my interior dome light in the "Off' position. Now, when I drive at night, it get in and out of a dark vehicle. This is a safety concern since I am a female and I care for my disabled mother. I also cannot keep my doors locked when I am driving due to this issue. For safety reasons, I prefer to drive with my doors locked and I am unable to due this. I took it to the dealer...

While driving vehicle on freeway car stalled and would not accelerate. Car was then pulled over to side of road .Turned vehicle off now it will not turn back on . This almost cause accident on freeway .

The light will indicate that the driver door is opened when it is closed. Which is causing the alarm to go off randomly and it’s draining my battery completely. I just bought a new battery in June 2022 and when I went to start my car today it wouldn’t start. Something is not connected properly but I don’t know what it is.

When the cruise control shuts down, the tachometer cuts out and the vehicle seems to go into limp mode. Brightening or dimming the headlights causes an intermittent bright flash to the interior lights. This could be potentially dangerous seeing as you have no acceleration, which could cause very extensive damage to person and property. The intermittent bright flash could be a result of an unregulated power surge, which could cause damage to person and property.

Have had a recurring issue with the airbag light illuminating. This has been ongoing since 2 years post purchase. Have had airbag replaced, multiple fuses, wiring harness replacement. All repairs end with the light returning. Am unsure of the reliability of the airbag in the event of a crash.

My vehicle had been stalling on I assign for a couple of months until one day in June 2021 it wouldn’t start at all. I got a new battery installed and assumed that all was well. Weeks later, I was in route to visit family when my ABS, traction, and down hill break lights all came on. I pulled over and tried cutting my car off and on a few times to see if that would resolve the issue and it did not. My car also seemed to slow down a bit and struggled slightly accelerating up hills. In 2019 my turbo engine was replaced after my vehicle stopped accelerating while I was on the interstate. There is currently a recall on 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe’s that reads: “ Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Santa Fe Sport vehicles. Brake fluid may leak inside the Anti-lock Brake System...

In May 2020 the vehicle started experiencing an issue that would constantly put it in limp mode. Took it in at an automotive place and they replaced it with a brand new computer. A few days later, the issue happened again. Took it back. They could not determine the problem and said we should bring it to the local Hyundai dealership in Naples, FL. Hyundai dealership in Naples, FL swore up and down it was the brake pedal assembly. Trusted their judgment and replaced it. Not even a few days later, car goes back into limp mode. Take it back to the local Hyundai dealership. They swear up and down it is now the tracking device on the vehicle. So between the warranty company, the dealership we bought the car from and the local Hyundai dealership we get the tracking device reinstalled. We take the car not even a few...

We pulled off the highway to get gas and noticed smoke coming from the hood. We immediately parked at the gas station and my husband, our dog and I got out of the car and within minutes the entire front of the car was in flames. Several passersby stopped and sprayed the fire with their fire extinguishers. We called 911 and the fire department quickly arrived and put out the fire, but the entire front of the car was destroyed. The front of the car melted along with the windshield from the intense heat. The police inspector came and inspected the car and took photos. The car was then towed and our insurance company took possession of the car. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the failure. The only thing we noticed was a slight hesitation in power as we climbed a hill several times in the...

My car is making a rapid beeping noise it stops every time I break I am extremely scared. I believe it has something to do with my engine. I’ve recorded videos however the box below doesn’t allow videos.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. THE DRIVER DOOR LOCKS WORK WITHOUT ISSUES. THIS HAPPENS WHEN USING THE KEY FOB AND THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON INSIDE THE CAR.

WITH THE 1ST 2 ISSUES, I WAS STILL ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, NOW THAT THE ENGINE IS RUINED, I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE.

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 ON INTERSTATE UP A INCLINE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC DRIVING 70 MPH VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION. *TR

THE CAR WENT OF FIRE ON HIGHWAY

MY CAR KEEPS TURNING ON AND OFF. AS OF RECENTLY THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND OFF INSIDE THE CAR( RADIO, LIGHTS, ) THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP BUT THE GAS WAS STILL ABLE TO BE USED. THE ABS , STEERING WHEEL , AND SUV INDICATORS WERE RED ON THE DASHBOARD

TAKATA RECALL. WE WERE DRIVING ON A STATE HWY AT 55MPH AND STARTING TO HEAR A KNOCK FROM THE ENGINE. IN THE YEAR AND A HALF OF OWNING THE VEHICLE THERE WERE NO ISSUES. NO INDICATOR OF ISSUES OR ANYTHING. WE EVEN HAD IT SERVICED 2 WEEKS PRIOR AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. WITHIN A 2 MILE SPAN OF THE KNOCK STARTING THE VEHICLE ENGINE SEIZED AND SHUT DOWN. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS BEHIND US BECAUSE THERE WAS NOWHERE SAFE TO PULL OVER TO FOR ABOUT 1/8MILE SO WE COASTED AND CREPT AT ABOUT 5MPH TO A DRIVEWAY WHERE WE THEN WERE TOWED TO A SAFER LOCATION. NO LIGHTS OR INDICATORS CAME ON UNTIL THE MOMENT THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. APPARENTLY, THIS IS COMMON WITH 2013 MODEL HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT ENGINES AFTER DISCUSSING IT WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE.

PURCHASING THE HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2013 WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I MADE. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I HAVE SPENT OVER 5K IN REPAIRS, TOWING, AND CAR RENTALS. FIRST I WAS MADE TO BELIEVE IF I CHANGE ALL THE OIL AND DID ALL UPDATES TO THE FILTERS MY CAR WOULD STOP STALLING AND SHUTTING DOWN ON ME THAT DIDN'T WORK. THEN MY CAR SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR ALMOST KILLING US ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE WASTEGATE NEEDED CHANGING. THEN IT SHUT DOWN ON MINUTES I EXIT MY HOME IN DELAWARE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY. I WAS TERRIFIED TO GET IN THAT VEHICLE AND SO WAS MY FAMILY I FILED SEVERAL CORPORATE COMPLAINTS OVER THE 2 YEARS I HAVE BEEN IGNORED AND NOT OFFERED HELP. I HAVE ASK HYUNDAI TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE BUT...

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THROUGH AN INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED AND SHUT OFF. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER OR BRAKE, BUT MANAGED TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT.

WE TOWED VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT APPEARED TO BE A FAILED ALTERNATOR AND STARTER AND COMPROMISED BATTERY CABLE AND SENSOR AND WOULDN'T BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WE HAD JUST HAD THE FUEL LINE SENSOR REPLACED UNDER RECALL AND NOW THIS. THIS IS AFTER THE TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE AND THAT LED TO THE ENGINE BEING REPLACED WITH WHAT WE TOLD WAS A FACTORY NEW ENGINE THAT FELL UNDER THE METAL FRAGMENTS IN OIL CHAMBER RECALL. WE ARE FORTUNATE WE WERE UNHARMED DURING THIS INCIDENT. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING...

MY 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE LIMITED HAS PREVIOUSLY HAD TWO OF FOUR DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLIES FAIL. ONE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ONE I PAID THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE. NOW A THIRD LATCH ASSEMBLY HAS FAILED. THERE ARE TWO TSBS AGAINST THIS FAILURE (14-01-004-1 AND 14-01-004) SPECIFICALLY FOR THE 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE YET THE DEALERSHIP SAYS MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS WHEN IT OCCURS YOU HAVE NO ABILITY TO RECEIVE ANY SAFETY INFORMATION FROM THE CARS MONITORING SYSTEM BECAUSE THE ENTIRE DISPLAY JUST SAYS "DOOR AJAR"

I HAVE BROUGHT THIS CAR TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 4 TIMES WITHIN THIS LAST YEAR WITH THE MOST RECENT TIME BEING ABOUT A MONTH AGO, ABOUT A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM MY ENGINE THAT WAS SO EXTREMELY LOUD WHEN DRIVING. THE CAR HESITATES AND/OR STALLS EVERYTIME THE KNOCKING NOISE IS PRESENT AND, EACH TIME I BRING IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE ONE TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR FOR THAT PROBLEM THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY ROTORS THAT NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED AND CHARGED ME A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO "FIX" IT ONLY TO ONE WEEK LATER HAVE THE KNOCKING PRESENT AGAIN.

THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SEAT IS TOTALLY BURNED OUT AND DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS DOOR IS MELTED. THERE IS SMOKE DAMAGE IN THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR OVER 12 HOURS AND NOT DRIVEN. WE HAVE CALLED THE POLICE AND THY SAY THAT NO CRIME OCCURRED AND THAT THE FIRE STARTED IN THE SEAT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT MUST BE RELATED TO THE HEATED SEAT FUNCTION IN THIS CAR.

CAR WOULDN'T START. EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. HAD CAR TOWED FROM NY CITY TO DEALER IN NJ. THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THIS OCCURRED ON SEPT 27, 2015. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON DEC. 27, 2015. SEVERAL PEOPLE TRIED TO JUMP START IT TO NO AVAIL. TOW TRUCK ARRIVED AND WAS GOING TO TOW IT FROM NY STATE TO NJ DEALER. TRIED TO JUMP IT AGAIN AND IT TOOK A JUMP. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC ON DEC 28, 2015 AND THEY FOUND BATTERY WAS GOOD AND CHECKED ELECTRICAL AND FOUND NO PROBLEM.

VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY CONSUMED BY THIS CATASTROPHIC FIRE. CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE OFFICES IN CALIFORNIA TO REPORT IT AS THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS ASKED 'WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO?'. RECEIVED THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.

PASSED OUT WHILE DRIVING. STRUCK THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF ANOTHER CAR WITH THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE OF SANTA FE. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SANTA FE WAS TOTALED.
