Loss of acceleration and stuttering when I was trying to get up to speed on the interstate going up a hill. Instantly blinking check engine light. Won't go above 2000rpm or 60mph. P1326 code read glow relay short circuit

My steering would work while I was driving with my kids in the car, my breaks were barely working, the hood started smoking and something under the hood in the engine caught on fire, there was a horrible smell when I was breaking and the breaks would jolt. The engine and cooling was not turning off even with my key taken out, the fan engine was running nonstop no matter what, smoking etc

I took my vehicle in for recall and they replaced the fuse box. Starting that day, the auxiliary power outlet in the rear (trunk) started to short out my pump that I have used many times while blowing up lake tubing equipment. Also since then my trunk has been randomly opening on its own (mostly while I’m asleep). It is happening about every 3 days. There is nothing in the way of the latch or the door and it is closed and locked before I walk away. Started happening 6/29 and the recall replacement was on 6/27

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the brake warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the fuse needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted, but additional assistance was not provided. The failure mileage was approximately 148,000.

Mileage: 148,000

1) What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? I tried to park in the parking space next to it by making a slight right turn. As soon as I stepped on the brake to park, the car began to rush forward. I noticed again and again that my foot was slamming on the brakes, but the car didn't stop. My car went over the ledge between the parking lot and the store, slammed into the pillar of the building on the left, smashed all the glass in the dance studio, and hit the wall on the right before coming to a stop. It took six seconds from rushing forward to into the store. 2) How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I must have been severe injured if the car didn't stop by hitting a right-side wall of the store. And if there were people, I was not able to avoid casualites. 3) Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, the car was towed and reviewd by car insurance. Car insurance informed that th e car will be total loss. No information about reproducing the issue 4) Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No 5) Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, that was suddenly occured 6) Request: I want NHTSA to investigate my car of sudden unintended acceleration. I would like to get EDR, X-ray of PCB board of electrical central unit(a.k.a ECU) managing brake and accelerator and car manufacturer's reliability sign-off report of the ECU board. I have a security footage taking the accident moment. I failed to upload the video. If you want, please let me know. Will send the video file with NHTSA.

I have a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. I was notified the ABS module may leak hydraulic fluid on electronics that can cause a fire while driving or parked. This SAFETY issue was found in September 2023. After 7 months a remedy still has not been found. How long is a suitable amount of time to wait for a solution? How long should I need to wait for this to either burn down or get fixed? A remedy has been found for the Santa Fe Sport. Will this same fix, work for my Santa Fe? If it will I am willing to pay for it and wait for reimbursement. The would be better than wondering if my vehicle is going to catch fire while I'm driving down the highway. Any help you can give me will be appreciated.

On [XXX] I was driving down [XXX] doing 80mph with my family in the car, including my 7month old son. As I was going down the interstate, the vehicle malfunctioned and seized up. I had to manually push to get the vehicle off the interstate to avoid getting hit. The vehicle lights all flashed on and cut off. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership to find out what is wrong with the vehicle, if needed I give permission to get information/inspect the vehicle. I am still trying to get clear answers from Hyundai about what happened to the vehicle and to get it repaired.

There was a recall with the abs slipper slope and traction this left these warning symbols stay on constantly. I was told by Westside hyundai in Jacksonville this would cost me over $200.00 but I shouldn't have to pay for something that was recalled that left my vehicle this way. Also the drivers identified seatbelt doesn't click it will come loosen and out unless you hold down the button then put the seat belt in and let go of the button.

Hi I'm in the car with my granddaughter 9 years old We will ready to visit my oldest son his daughter my 3rd grandchild 9 months old.my 9 year old granddaughter we were on I75 north ready to change lanes into the right slow lane as I am ready to merge onto exit 275 Ramp Land o lakes. I notice my rpm numbers are at zero, my SUV was losing speed, I had a green 18 wheeler tractor trailer exactly on my back end of my Hyundai Santa fe sport 2014, exactly on top of us. I can see the grill count bugs on it. My granddaughter was so upset, crying, panicky afraid to get hit by the cars, trucks,staying stranded.myquick thinking I kept my foot on the gas gave it all I could manage to get my SUV on the triangle safe spot in front of the sign exit 275. Once I took my foot slowly off the gas I notice all of the components were locking up shutting down slowly the lights just dimming into darkness nothing nothing was on as if she just shut down to sleep. It was very scary I am also suffering anxiety flashback what if I didn't think to get out of the tractor trailers way. My god my granddaughter I would have been hit slamed hard or pushed into on coming traffic or teadbone into the divider or over the slope. I dont feel safe my suv. That truck was not stopping he was pushing his way.i am devastated. I paid in full my suv in 2yrs under the 4 1/2 yrs. I bought my suv.from ford dealer Tampa fl.paid infull under a new steering columns has to be replaced? After I heard the clicking sound and I was shown a little tool was going to be put in. I said no a new steering column has to be replace due to safety. the Service tech who put my steering column also broke my power auto seat driver Side. Chair still pops out the electric left side button for lumbar, heat safetychair adjusting. I was told the recall took care of the chemical liquid brake fluid component quick fix I told the dealer about my age lights,traction, slope lights emergency brake lights on. road ranger can smell chemical burn

Clock spring is defective/broken. This could be very dangerous as the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident. Hyundai has used this exact part on other vehicles that have had issue and have recalled/extended the warranty to cover. Hyundai however won't fix this very dangerous issue on the Santa Fe and even wanted almost $200 just to look at the car even though the part is very obviously broken.

I was driving my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS (Lambda II, V6 3.3L, 104k miles) late at night with my wife, daughter (age 2), and son (age 6 months). No notification lights alerted me to any problems. We missed our turn on the highway and had to drive through a neighborhood with a high crime volume. We stopped at a red light and the engine seized. When the light changed, I tried to start the car, but the engine wouldn't budge. We were stranded in the dark in a dangerous area. I said to my wife, "This is one of the worst places and times for a car to go kaput." Two good samaritans with car knowledge stopped to help. First, they tried charging the battery. No luck. Then they checked the oil. To our surprise, the oil tank was nearly empty (again, no notification lights alerted me, and we never saw leakage). We tried filling it with oil, hoping it might solve the engine seizure. No luck. I had it towed to my family's mechanic. Once he checked it, he immediately realized it needed replacement (once it turned on, it was making knocking sounds). He said a new engine would cost $10k—more than half of the car's value at the time of purchase. I called Hyundai corporate, and they said to bring it to my local dealer to get examined. They checked it and chose not to repair, giving a pretty nondescript reason for denial. They wouldn't give many details; they just said the motor suffered a mechanical failure, showed sludge, and needed to be replaced. They quoted me $9k for a USED engine. Later I learned that countless others have experienced the same problems with this vehicle. I'm preparing paperwork to seek help from higher-level Hyundai mechanics. I will update NHTSA if their response is helpful or not. I believe Hyundai and Kia are in deep water with many GDI engines from the last decade. Countless others have reported similar engine failures; a whole Facebook group documents it (FB search "Engine Failure- Kia/Hyundai"). Here's praying NHTSA swoops in and enforces a recall.

My 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport broke down while driving home on 5/30/2022. No active warning lights at time of incident. Vehicle slowed down while driving on interstate and lost the ability to accelerate. A noise was made (may have been considered knocking). Once parked on the side of the highway, nothing happened when START/STOP button was pressed except random lights across dash (NO WARNING LIGHTS). Vehicle did not appear to be ON. Vehicle had to be towed to local Hyundai dealership. Dealership replaced the starter, performed an engine diagnostics, then parked vehicle on lot. The vehicle caught fire on 6/20/2022 after service tech exited it; considered a total loss. The vehicle was inspected by Hyundai Dealership representative, owner's insurance company, and vendor for Hyundai Motor America. HMA ruled incident as No Root Cause for engine seizing: no fault of workmanship nor manufacturer. In addition, in January 2022, this vehicle went into LIMS mode, no active warning lights were observed, and the same dealership replaced Knock Sensor. The vehicle passed engine diagnostics test.

When entering a busy intersection, the car seized with no power and would not restart.

Drivers side rear passenger door lock became inoperable. Door will not lock or unlock with key fob or from the drivers door arm rest door lock/unlock switch. Door lock on the door panel does not move positions when fob or door lock switch is operated. Door lock within the door handle on the inside is in between the locked and unlocked position. If the silver lock on the door is either pushed or pulled, the door lock will function. Power lock does not work.

I was driving to pickup my dog from daycare centre and when I arrive to house, put my car in Park then a huge amount of smoke came out from the front hood of car. The smoke got bigger and bigger within 30 seconds I couldn't see anything from front of car and around driver's seat. There was no Hazard alerts or signs on my car that my car was overheating. There was no signal or emergency shut off on the car when the overheating began. My boyfriend was in car at time. My dog was walking outside with daycare caretaker when a flame started on Driver's side engine. The flame lit and sparked into a huge flame. I ran out of car while my boyfriend yelled for everyone to back away from car before it explodes. The flame grew and engine bursted into flames, a loud explosion followed. I did not have any time to even gather what was going on before my eyes, I was trembling in shock and could not speak clearly. Immediately, I called police to come put out the fire. The fire department was transferred into my phone call. I was able to give address and they arrived on scene within 3-4 minutes. Fire department put out the flames with a water hose. The car was completely damaged, falling apart into pieces, front hood was on fire to the back seats, doors were on fire, steering wheel was gone, entire front dashboard and chairs were melted and gone in pieces. I started feeling sick and overwhelming stressed.

Driving on interstate felt car stall pulled to side of the road placed in park. Looked under hood noticed car hot checked oil and was completely dry. I know for a fact there had not been any leakage prior that was on the ground where I parked and none under where I pulled off road. Not one check engine light or low oil light had came on prior or during the time of the car stalling. Called tow truck to have it taken to dealership where they turned it back on after I advised of issue and that it shouldn't be turned on they said they had to to know what it was doing and the engine at that point was making loud knocking noise. I was told engine would have to be replaced. I was told I'm not the only one that has had this issue with this model car but there is no recall so it would be out of my pocket even though there is a "known issue". This was dangerous as it stalled in middle of interstate and left me stranded. Also, I got regular oil changes and was actually on my way to appt to have oil changed and never had been told that I was leaking or ever low on oil by dealership either. If looked up the known issue is with oil consumption. Dealership still cannot explain where yhe oil leaked from or went to.

One day Im driving to work and out of the blue, my car stereo stopped working, it turns on but no sound comes out of it. Tried replacing amplifier, speakers etc, nothing worked. After that, my car wouldn't start several times a month, had to jump start it frequently for about 4-5 months. Eventually it became if I didn't turn on my car atleast once a day, it would die and need to be jumped. So Ive been jumping my car almost every 2-3 days for the past month & 1/2.. Changed the battery multiple times. Took it to different mechanics and dealers, NOBODY knew what the issue was. Apparently something is draining my battery and no one knows how to figure it out!

The vehicle is in excellent condition with all maintenance complete. Starting intermittently at approximately 40,000 miles, and now consistently since 49,000 miles, 3 warning lights illuminate on the dash simultaneously; 1: ABS warning light, 2: TCS warning light, 3: Hill Assist warning light. Reading the codes with a code scan tool indicates the Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor has a short circuit, an open circuit, or has failed, or the wire connector has failed. If the ABS or TCS systems are not functioning, there is a higher risk of crash. This is a very common problem according to simple google searches, and affected vehicles should be recalled and repaired.

IT WAS INDICATED BY A LETTER FROM HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THIS CAR CAN POSSIBLY REACT TO A ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, CAUSING A FIRE WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THEREFORE A RECALL WAS INITIATED, BUT A SOLUTION FOR REPAIR, FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS, IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. IT IS MY OPINION THAT A CAR WITH THIS CONDITION IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEREFORE HYUNDAI SHOULD FURNISH A LONER CAR FOR THE PERIOD IT TAKES TO MAKE A SAFETY REPAIR OR REPLACE THE CAR. THE CONSUMER REFERENCED RECALL 21V-303. THE CONSUMER INQUIRED ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF THE RECALL.

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.

WHILE DRIVING AT 7:30PM ON A BACK ROAD ON A SATURDAY, BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I PULLED ONTO A DIRT DRIVEWAY AND TURNED MY CAR OFF AND NOTICED THEY CAME BACK ON. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY. THEY REPLACED A FUSE BOX, AND I PICKED MY CAR UP. ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. IN ADDITION THIS TIME, MY SEAT WARMERS WOULD COME ON FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, AND THEN SHUT OFF. I TOOK IT BACK UP TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS. THEY JUST REPLACED THE FUSE AND DROVE IT OVER 20 MILES TRYING TO GET IT TO GO OUT AGAIN AND COULDN'T. I PICKED MY CAR BACK UP. A DAY AND A HALF LATER, BOTH MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. I NOTICED THIS BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING AND I COULDN'T GET MY WIPERS TO WORK. I KEPT TRYING MY WIPERS, AND THE ONLY SETTING THEY WOULD WORK ON WAS THE 3RD SPEED SETTING. I TRIED MY LIGHTS AND MY SEAT WARMERS AGAIN, AND NO LUCK. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED ALREADY (3:00PM) AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL MONDAY, SO I DROVE IT HOME. TOOK IT BACK UP THERE ON MONDAY, EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. THEY HAD IT FOR A WEEK OR SO AND CALLED ME AND SAID THEY REPLACED THE FUSE ONCE AGAIN, AND DROVE IT OVER 215 MILES AND COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY SAID MY CAR HAD THEM STUMPED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE CONFIDENT IT WAS GOING TO BE OKAY. I LEFT, AND LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER I GOT THE CAR, I WAS DRIVING AT 7:00PM AND THEY WENT OUT AGAIN, THIS TIME AN HOUR AWAY FROM MY HOUSE.

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. ON 5/27 WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD INSIDE THE CAR IT STALLED. THE STALL HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY AFTER I COMPLETED A LEFT TURN AND WAS GOING 10 MPH AND UNDER. IT STARTED WITH ME NOT FEELING ANY ACCELERATION AS I PUSHED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. SUBSEQUENTLY THERE WERE MULTIPLE EMERGENCY INDICATORS THAT GOT ACTIVATED. THE ENGINE DID NOT START AND I COULD NOT CHANGE GEARS EITHER. THE AC AND STEREO SYSTEM WERE RUNNING AS I TRIED TO START ON THE IGNITION BUT THE INDICATOR SHOWED THAT THE BATTERY WAS DISCHARGED ALONG WITH OTHER MALFUNCTION INDICATORS LIKE ENGINE OIL, BLIND SIDE DETECTOR, AWD LOCK ETC. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE AND LATER TO THE SERVICE CENTER TODAY. THE SERVICE CENTER CONFIRMED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY FAULT AND AFTER CONSULTATION WITH HYUNDAI ARE GOING FORWARD TO REPLACE THE PCM/ECM. I'M REALLY CONCERNED NOW THAT THIS CAN RECUR UNDER MUCH MORE DIFFICULT ROAD CONDITIONS.

THEY SAID THERE IS NO ACTIVE RECALL, BUT I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THE OLDER SANTA FE, VERACRUZ, SONATA AND ELANTRA ALL HAVE RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT IS CLEARLY A HYUNDAI PROBLEM AND THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE LATER MODEL VEHICLES (MINE IS A 2014).

VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY BURNED IN A SKI AREA PARKING LOT IN MAINE. FIRE STARTED AT REAR LEFT (DRIVER'S SIDE) OF CAR. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES IN THE MORNING AND PARKED FOR OVER 4 HOURS WHEN LOCAL POLICE AND FIRE WERE NOTIFIED OF A CAR BURNING. BY THE TIME I RETURNED TO THE CAR, THE FIRE HAD BEEN EXTINGUISHED. ALTHOUGH NO CAUSE OF ORIGIN WAS DETERMINED, IT APPEARS THE FIRE IGNITED FROM AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE IN THE REAR LEFT. THE BACK HALF OF THE VEHICLE WAS HEAVILY DAMAGED. MUCH OF MY PERSONAL PROPERTY WAS SALVAGEABLE AND ANY BAGS WHICH BURNED/MELTED DID SO FROM THE OUTSIDE IN, A FURTHER INDICATION THAT THE VEHICLE FIRE STARTED WITH A VEHICLE ISSUE. IT WAS THE FIRST DAY THE CAR EXPERIENCED ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS. I NOTE THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS A CANADA ONLY RECALL OF 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FES FOR RISK OF FIRE WHEN SALT GRIME ENTERS THE REAR PARKING SENSORS (WHICH MY VEHICLE HAD) AND SHORT CIRCUITS - IT APPEARS THE RISK OF FIRE DUE TO THIS ISSUE CAN OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND OFF. FORTUNATELY, NOBODY WAS HURT AND ONLY MY PERSONAL PROPERTY WAS IMPACTED - THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY HOUSE GARAGE, A HOTEL GARAGE, WHILE DRIVING, ETC. A THREE YEAR OLD CAR BURNING FOR NO APPARENT REASON, SEEMS LIKE A POTENTIAL PUBLIC SAFETY RISK, AND SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO A CAR OF ANY AGE. HAPPENED IN A SMALL RURAL AREA - NO FIRE DEPT REPORT, POLICE SAID THEY WOULD WRITE A REPORT BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED. THE CAR IS CONSIDERED A WRITE-OFF BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

ELECTRICAL ISSUE: A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, I WAS DRIVING IN MY 2014 SANTA FE SPORT AND THE RADIO SUDDENLY SHUT OFF THINKING I PRESSED A BUTTON BY ACCIDENT. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES IT TURNED BACK ON. IT WAS RANDOMLY DOING IT UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO IT FINALLY STOPPED WORKING. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A HYUNDAI SERVICE AGENT. VEHICLE AT 40,000 MILES APPRARENTLY IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY (36,000MI) OFCOURSE, FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THEY CHARGE YOU ABOUT $140 AFTER TAX JUST TO DIAGNOSE IT. HOW MUCH TO FIX THE RADIO? AGENT SAID, "IT WILL BE ABOUT $1700 BUT SINCE THE LEASE IS UP I CAN PUT YOU IN A BRAND NEW TUCSON AND I WILL FIX THE RADIO FREE OF CHARGE AND CREDIT YOU BACK FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS CHARGE". I WALKED OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP. AND AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON PAS SIDE.

DRIVING AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT, DASH PANEL LIGHTS WENT HAYWIRE. I COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD. I AM NOT AT ALL SURE MY WIFE COULD HAVE TURNED THE WHEEL. ATTEMPTED TO JUMP-START THE CAR - NOT WORK. FIRST TIME DRIVING AT 35 MPH IN A SUBDIVISION IN AL. PULLED OVER, WOULD NOT START, TOWED TO DEALER WHO RECHARGED BATTERY AND ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED ' SAID IT WAS 'FIXED'. TRIED TO JUMP-START THE CAR AND THIS DID NOT WORK. FEW WEEKS LATER EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED IN KY. I WAS DOING 63 MPH ON HIGHWAY WITH 50 CUBIC YARD COAL TRUCKS COMING BY. IF HAPPENED TO MY WIFE I AM VERY CONCERNED AS TO A RATHER BAD ACCIDENT. AUTO TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF GEAR. TOW PEOPLE 'JIMMIED' THE SHIFT TO LOAD ON THE TOW TRUCK. VEHICLE TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE BATTERY REPLACED AND ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED ' SAID IT WAS 'FIXED'. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE HAD THREE BATTERIES IN 2 YEARS AND 4 MONTHS. I DO NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE CAR EXCEPT AROUND TOWN. I FEEL THIS IS TRULY AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE AND APPARENTLY HYUNDAI DOES NOT KNOW EITHER.

DRIVER'S SEAT LURCHES FORWARD AND BACKWARDS AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF SPEED, BRAKE/ ACCELERATION/ CRUISE CONTROL, TYPE OF ROAD, DIRECTION OR MOVEMENT ETC. OFTEN TIMES WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION, THE SEAT WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL IN ANY DIRECTION. ALSO, THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND DOWNHILL LIGHT HAVE ALL BEEN TURNING ON AND OFF AT RANDOM, AND, WHILE PARKED AND WITHOUT PROVOCATION, MY SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE BEGAN JUMPING. LESS IMPORTANT, THE DRIVER'S SEAT A/C DOES NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION, HOWEVER, THE MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE INTO THE "SERVICE CENTER", THE MECHANICS SAID THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND SENT MY BROKEN CAR HOME, SO THE OFFICIAL REASON IS UNKNOWN. I AM ONLY 5'2" SO THIS HAS CAUSED ME CONSIDERABLE PROBLEMS WITH SUDDENLY NOT BEING ABLE TO REACH THE PEDALS, AND HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS.

HYUNDAI AND OTHER MFG ARE USING EDIBLE COATING ON WIRING HARNESS AND CREATING A HAZARD FOR FIRE AND LOSS OF CONTROL BECAUSE RODENTS ARE EATING THE WIRE MY SANTA FE WIRING WAS EATEN AND I LOST MY WHOLE ELECTRICAL ENTERTAINMENT SYSREM.DEALLERS KNOW ABOUT PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS BUT DOES NOTHING . YOUR ONLINE SYSTEM HAS OVER 16 REPORTED PROBLEMS SOME SERIOUS. THE FIX IS SIMPLE WRAP HARNESS IN EDITABLE WRAPPING. NHTSA GOING TO WAIT UNTIL A CAR LOSES CONTROL AND KILLS SOMEBODY.

THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT RATHER A DESIGN ISSUE THAT COULD LEAD TO PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE KEY FOB IS DESIGNED SUCH THAT A VERY SLIGHT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON A BUTTON CAN REMOVE THE ENTIRE ELECTRONIC PORTION OF THE KEY INADVERTENTLY. IF THIS IS DONE ON ACCIDENT AND THE ELECTRONIC PORTION OF THE KEY CANNOT BE FOUND THEN THE CAR WILL NOT START. CONTRARY TO MOST KEY FOB DESIGNS, WHERE THE METAL KEY (VALET) PORTION FLIPS OUT FROM THE BODY OR HAS TO BE REMOVED USING SOME FORCE, THE KEY FOB ON THE NEW SANTA FE WILL DETACH WITHOUT ALMOST ANY FORCE. I HAVE ALREADY LOST A FOB AT A COST OF $280 TO ME AND THE KEY HAS BECOME DETACHED MULTIPLE TIMES IN POCKETS AND AROUND THE HOUSE WITHOUT HARDLY ANY FORCE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT SEEMS HYUNDAI DESIGNED THIS PART FOR THE SOLE GOAL OF INCREASING REPLACEMENT KEY FOB SALES. *TR
