2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Fuel/propulsion System Problems

The engine has been running rough for awhile and emissions light came on. My car was having problems accelerating, 2 years ago the light came on but didn’t stay on so the dealer couldn’t diagnose problem.

Twice in the last year the high pressure fuel line has cracked while I was driving and started spraying gas all over the engine bay.

My 2014 Hyundai Sonata is subject to the recall campaign for the 2.0L and 2.4L Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines. Since June 24, 2024, the vehicle has exhibited multiple issues: 1. Check Engine Light: The check engine light is continuously on and blinking, signaling that the vehicle is unsafe to drive. Diagnostic codes retrieved include P0140 (O2 Circuit), P0172 (System Too Rich), and P0126 (Knock Sensor Circuit). While the P0126 code pertains to the knock sensor, there has been no definitive diagnosis to determine if the issue is isolated to the sensor or indicative of a deeper engine problem. 2. Engine Power Issue: The car experiences jolts and kicks back during acceleration, along with intermittent lack of power. Furthermore, an independent mechanic performed some tests on the engine, determining that it runs too rich. After the second white smoke through exhaust incident, the vehicle struggles, and often does not reach, 60 MPH; aligning with "Reduced power and/or hesitation" (case #2) in the recall campaign. 3. Exhaust Smoke: On two separate occasions, within a month, white smoke has been observed exiting the exhaust. Engine oil has been below 3/5 empty each time. No oil leak found; must be exiting through exhaust. Despite qualifying for the recall, the Hyundai Colorado Springs dealer has refused to inspect or replace the engine as required. These ongoing issues pose significant safety risks, including the potential for unexpected engine failure and loss of power while driving.

On June2 2023 I was driving on I75 north to Wesley chapel, Pasco exit ramp 273 I and granddaughter were left on highway no Emergency lights nothing. My SUV just shut down just no warning no lights no noise huge smell of chemical burn when my daughter and the road ranger arrived they notice the bad smell at engine like chemical very bad. There was ni emergency lights, rpms were not working i notice ut dropped down, a tractor trailer wad seconds inches on my suv. I did a sudden sharp turn steering column so I can get the SUV to glide into the triangular Divider with the exit was for me to get off so we were stuck I 75 north in between pasco exit to 73 that's where my SUV broke down. No Warning nothing now which is November 2023 my car still not running I had a recall dates but I became ill now ill Now I have to find out I can get my car fixed. When I purchase the car several months later I noticed the Abs lights were on but ABS breaks the slope and the traction all those lights go on emergency break light goes on while i drive but that did not happen during the time that I was driving on the i75 north highway. I had my granddaughter who was 9 years old at the time. We could have been hit. Suv was locked down And said goodbye it was like someone controlling my suv. SUV was zzz like gliding I have a full tank of gas. I had to tow it after waiting 8 hours no lights on suv but I also tried to have the battery tested or started it'll start but the key fob will not work. Its confused. I'm very very upset I paid off my suv, had one recall after I bought and now again. This time SUV died no warning nothing I feel courtesy Hyundai should tow my suv, recall check, courtesy check and my two key fobs. This I should not have to feel UNSAFE in my suv always wondering will this happen again and will I be a fatal driver hoping I don't have any of my grandchildren nor my adult kids or any human being.

I Recently, experienced a sudden and alarming incident with my car. Out of nowhere, the car began leaking gas, which resulted in a fire. Prior to this incident, the car was in perfect working condition, and there were no signs of any issues or malfunctions. It was a completely unexpected and unfortunate event that posed a significant danger. The vehicle was towed to Hyundai Dealership of Myrtle Beach, SC in August. The service agent explained that the vehicle technician would diagnosed the issue that she would call me back with plans and pricing. She shortly called back and stated that the diagnosis was a fuel line and that it needed to be replaced, that the part was approx. $200.00 for the part and after labor totaling approx. $1025. This was agreed and plans were made for me to pick my vehicle up by 3:00pm. She later called back and stated that the fuel pump was replaced but that the car was still leaking gas and would result in more diagnosis and repair fees up to $6,000 or more. I questioned the original diagnosis and she explained She would have to hand the matter over to Management. I spoke with Mgt. several times on the repair and mis diagnosis who claims it was not their fault and that they found hidden damage that the fire caused. Since then I have been told I would get some type of help and that He has written a letter to Coorp. and received a response that they were sending an Inspector out to look at my car. It has been over 60 days now without my vehicle and they have explained that they have reached out to Hyundai Corporation and submitted a notice for recall or help with this matter and no response yet.

Car would not shift. Could not increase speed. This occurred intermittently and gradually got worse

Car not shifting correctly. No power. Could not gain speed to merge into traffic. Was intermittent for months finally the engine light came on. My mechanics diagnostic showed it was the turbo charger. There is a service bulletin 22-22-EM-004H

Excessive oil consumption. Currently uses 1.2 quarts per 1,000 miles

There was a recall on my vehicle for the Knock Sensor. In 04/2019 this was fixed at the Stockton, Ca. Dealership. My car only has 69,654 miles on it. On 01/14/2023 my check engine light came on and my car started sputtering and cutting out. I took it back to the dealership first thing today, 01/16/2023. They said the Knock Sensor is out and will cost me $995.00 to fix. They said the part that was replaced 4/2019 only has a one year guarantee. I believe this is a poor quality part or vehicle defect.

The dealer has confirmed that my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe has an oil consumption issue. This results in the car randomly losing power from the accelerator while driving. You can push the accelerator all the way down to the floor and there is no power in the engine. The car then slows down drastically which results in potential car crashes from behind since there is no warning to the driver or to drivers of other cars. My car started having this issue in July 2021 when it had about 129,000 miles on it. It took Hyundai until late 2022 to determine the issue and deny responsibility for it. The attached documents do not include the multiple times that I had to bring the car in every 1000 miles to check the oil (they didn't document that). They said it would cost me $21,575 to fix the engine which is almost as much as a new car would cost! I have seen many complaints online about this same issue happening with other car owners and I feel that Hyundai should be held responsible for correcting this known safety issue. I was planning to drive this car until 200,000 miles which would be at least another 3-4 years before I had to replace it. At this point I am having to add a quart of oil every 500 miles and hope that the engine doesn't seize up and cause an accident.

While driving normally, suddenly the vehicle will jolt and the RPMs go down to zero despite the vehicle still moving. Even with the gas pedal pushed down to the floor, and being able to hear the engine 'vrooming', the vehicle will not increase speed. It is extremely dangerous to not be able to speed up when on a highway or interstate. The check engine light does not come on, the diagnostic at the dealership does not throw any codes and the issue is intermittent so no one knows how to fix it since they can't duplicate the problem on demand. Usually turning the car off and on will 'fix' the problem until it happens again out of nowhere. The vehicle is extremely unsafe; this has been happening on and off for months. We do have videos of this occurring; no one at the dealership or any friends who are mechanics have any idea of what is wrong.

Car caught fire while driving.

THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING LIKE A ROD MAYBE . IT WAS SITTING OVER NIGHT NO PREVIOUS ISSUES AND WHEN I STARTED IT THAT WAS THE NOISE IT WAS MAKING . JUST BOUGHT THE CAR IN JULY OF 2020

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.

I AM THE PERSPECTIVE BUYER OF THIS USED CAR CURRENTLY AT A DEALER FOR SALE. CARFAX REPORT INDICATES TWO RECALLS ON THE CAR. ON 2/17/20, SALESPERSON CALLED HYUNDAI INC ABOUT THE FUEL LEAK RECALL BEING FIXED IF I PURCHASE THE CAR FIRST AND THEN TAKE THE CAR TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE RECALL. IS THIS PROPER PROCEDURE IN PURCHASING A USED CAR? THE CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING OFFERED FOR SALE AT A SAVANNAH, GA, CRITZ MERCEDEZ DEALERSHIP. SALESPERSON PROVIDED A CARFAX REPORT THAT INDICATED RECENT SERVICE ON THE CAR THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED. HOWEVER, THE DESCRIBED RECALL HAD NOT BEEN REMEDIED WHICH I BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SALESPERSON WHO THEN CALLED A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD HYUNDAI WOULD FIX THE ISSUE AND EXTEND THE WARRANTY ANOTHER 40,000 MILES. SHOULD I BE CONCERNED ABOUT BUYING THIS CAR BASED ON THE SALESPERSON REQUIRING PURCHASE FIRST BEFORE THE CAR IS FIXED?

MY 2014 SANTA FE SPORT HAS A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR IN THE CABIN BUT IT CAN ALSO BE SMELLED OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE SMELL IS THE HIGHEST WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND SITS FOR A SHORT TIME. THE ODOR IS SO STRONG THAT THE SERVICE TECH HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR SO THE ODOR COULD DISSIPATE. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE TO BE LOOKED AT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THEY DEFINITELY COULD SMELL THE ODOR WHEN IT WAS DROPPED OFF. THEY DROVE IT FOR A SHORT DISTANCE BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS FAR ENOUGH FOR THE PROBLEM TO SHOW UP. THIS ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS ABOUT 90 DEGREES OR HOTTER. IT HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE TEMPERATURES HAVE COOLED DOWN AND IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE WHEN I BOUGHT IT DECEMBER 2017. IT WAS REAL BAD AT TIMES LAST SUMMER.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE SITTING IDLING WAITING AT STOP LIGHTS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND UNPREDICTABLE. ENGINE SHUTTERS WHILE IDLING AS WELL. VEHICLE LOSES ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN THIS OCCURS REQUIRING THE DRIVER TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. SAFETY HAZARD IN BUSY TRAFFIC. ADDITIONAL ISSUES WITH SLIPPAGE SOUNDS FROM THE AXELS WHEN TURNING CORNERS. PROBLEM MAY BE LINKED TO OTHER OPEN RECALLS INVOLVING MANUFACTURER REPORTED MACHINE ERRORS DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS THAT CAUSES PREMATURE BEARING WEAR WITHIN THE ENGINE. THE NOTED SAFETY RISK ON OTHER VIN NUMBERED MODELS WITHIN THE SAME CLASS IS THAT IT MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THIS VEHICHLE WAS JUST PURCHASED FROM CARMAX VIRGINIA THREE DAYS AGO. ISSUE WAS NOT OBVIOUS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR THIS VIN NUMBER AT THE TIME SALE WAS MADE, BUT ISSUE IS QUITE PRESENT AT 50,000 MILES AND I HAVE CONTACTED CARMAX TO INFORM THEM OF THE ISSUE. THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM SEEMS CONSISTENT WITH ALL MODELS OF HYUNDAI MANUFACTURED AROUND 2014. A NATIONAL RECALL OF THE ENTIRE LINE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO ALERT CONSUMERS AND AVOID UNWANTED PURCHASES AND OR DAMAGING ACCIDENTS.

CAR CEASES TO ACCELERATE AS YOU TURN A CORNER; ALSO SOMETIMES AS YOU ACCELERATE FROM A STOP EVEN THOUGH THE GAS PEDAL IS IN THE SAME POSITION AS WHEN YOU STARTED. IT WILL THEN JUMP AS THOUGH YOU HAD FLOORED THE PEDAL. THE LACK OF ACCELERATION NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT RECENTLY WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN; THE CAR FOLLOWING ME NEARLY REAR-ENDED ME AFTER I FIRST STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND THEN MY CAR SLOWED WHEN THE ACCELERATION STOPPED. WHEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN "KICKED IN", I NEARLY REA-RENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE END OF JUNE 2014, WHICH I THINK I GOT A LEMON. MY GAS RELEASE CAP WOULD NOT OPEN AND WAS TOLD THAT A PART NEEDED TO BE ORDER. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO SOUTH BOULEVARD HYUNDAI YESTERDAY MORNING, SO THEY (SERVICE TECH) CAN OPEN THE GAS CAP SO I COULD PUT GAS IN MY CAR. I DON'T THINK PARTS SHOULD BE BREAKING LIKE THAT IN THE SHORT TIME THAT I HAD THE CAR, SO THE CAP WAS OPEN AND THE SERVICE TECH LEFT THE BROKEN PIECE INSIDE THE CAP, HE THEN TOLD ME THAT THE PART WILL BE IN NEXT TUESDAY, IWHICH HE DID NOT SOUND CONVINCING. WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR, THERE WAS A TEAR IN THE VISOR AND IT TOKKM A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO GET THAT REPLACE AAFTER I PUSHED THEM TO DO IT, I WAS ALSO INFORMED THE CABIN AIR FILTER NEED TO BE REPLACED. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE REPLACING ANYTHING OTHER THAN REG OIL FILTERS. NOW I HEAR A SLIGHT WHISPER IN THE CAR, THEN THE CAR ALMOST CUT OFF ON ME. I CAN SEE IF I AM ABUSING THE VEHICLE BUT I AM NOT, ALL I DO IS DRIVE TO A FROM WORK AND TO THE GROCERY STORE, NOW SINCE THE GAS CAP WILL NOT CLOSE I AM AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE THINK SOMEONE MAY PUT SOMETHING IN THE GAS TANK OR BREAK THE CAP DOOR OFF, I DON'T LIKE DRIVING SEE MY GAS CAP DOOR IS OPEN. I ALSO HAVE A TRUNK RELEASE FEATURE ON MY KEY CHAIN BUT DON'T HAVE THE FEATURE ON THE CAR, I CALLED HYUNDAY USA AND WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD HAVE THAT FEATURE, AND WHEN I CONTACT HYUNDAI ON SOUTH BOULEVARD IN CHARLOTTE, NC I WAS TOLD I CANNOT GET THAT FEATURE., VERY DISAPPOINTING ABOUT PAYING FOR A $25,000.00 CAR, AS AND CANNOT GET THE HELP THAT I NEED, AS FAR AS THE CABIN AIR FILTER, THE TECH STATED THAT I WOULD BE SMELLING SOMETHING FOWL, AND I DO, AND IS MAKING MY HEAD HURTS EVERYTIME I GET IN THE CAR, I JUST HOPE I DON'T GET CANCEL FROM IT.

THIS HAS ENDED UP IN NUMEROUS HESITATIONS AND NEAR ACCIDENTS WHEN ENTERING INTO TRAFFIC.

OCCASIONALLY RIGHT AFTER I FILL THE CAR WITH GAS THERE IS AN OVERPOWERING ODOR OF GAS INSIDE THE CAR FOR A DAY OR SO. I LIVE IN NEW JERSEY, WHERE SELF-SERVICE IS NOT ALLOWED, AND SOMETIMES THEY FILL IT TO THE ABSOLUTE LIMIT, WHICH MAY BE THE CAUSE. REGARDLESS, THIS IS TERRIBLY UNSAFE BECAUSE GASOLINE FUMES ARE TOXIC. THE ODOR IS NOT FROM A LITTLE SPILLAGE ON THE BODY OF THE CAR, FROM THE HOSE AT THE GAS STATION. IT IS INSIDE THE CAR, AND VERY STRONG. THE DATE BELOW IS ONLY THE MOST RECENT DATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.

AT 8,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE GAS CANISTER OVERFLOW WAS FULL CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THEY REPLACED THE GAS CANISTER AND FILTER UNDER WARRANTY. AT 14,000 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON - TOOK IT TO THE DEALER - THEY SAID I HAD OVERFLOWED THE GAS ON FILLUP, AND I HAD TO PAY $800-900 TO GET IT FIXED. I NEVER TOP OFF THE TANK. IT SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT TO ME, AND I CANNOT AFFORD $900 EVERY 10 TANKFULS OR SO. HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE IS LOOKING INTO IT ASKED THEM TO FIX THE DEFECT - OR TAKE THE CAR BACK - WAITING TO HEAR
