2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Steering Problems

The vehicle is making a loud clunking noise in the steering column when driving down the road. It is veering all over the road and when I hit a bump it’s very bad. It’s difficult to keep in the lane. I brought it to my mechanic who said it was most likely the electronic steering motor assembly. He said he would not drive it in its current condition. Hyundai themselves said that it would be dangerous to operate. On the complaint website I was looking on there was around 50 complaints that have been reported to the NHTSA already and the website said it would also be very dangerous to drive.

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

This model of Santa Fe has a defective steering column. The car rattles at the base of the steering column at the base of the steering wheel in the floor by your feet. When you go over 70 it rattles.

I drive a 2014 Sante Fe Sport. I noticed a clicking noise when turning the steering wheel. Initially, I heard it once in a while. I thought it was a one-time event. The clicking noise is more constant, when making a turn while the car is in motion. Sometimes the steering wheel feels 'loose' or uncontrollable. It seems to be an issue with the steering coupler. It seems as this is a safety concern for me and others while driving.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that the ABS warning light, the steering warning light, and the Hill Descent control warning light were illuminated. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, another vehicle in the left turn lane was intruding into his lane. The contact stated that he slightly swerved to the right; however, the wheels locked up, and the vehicle skidded before it came to a stop, nearly causing a crash. The dealer was notified of the failure, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V651000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) which he related to the failure; however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

Steering has clicking noise when turning. I believe this is related to The MDPS (motor driven power steering) flexible rubber coupler. Similar issue exists for certain model of Hyundai Sonata and Elantra, which resulted in extended warranty. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10110926-9999.pdf I believe the issue is the same part that Hyundai offered extended warranty on. I feel excessive vibration on the steering wheel during 70MPH speed on a highway and going over bumps. I feel unsafe driving my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with this issue. Please investigate. Thanks!

I received a notice of recall on the ABS for my Hyundai Santa Fe 2014 Sport. My ABS light recently illuminated, I went to the Hyundai site to make an appt. I was given one a week out, while waiting for the appt my brake lights wouldn’t turn off unless I disconnected the battery. I took the vehicle to the dealership in Brevard Fl, the guy kept trying to upsell me $180 for diagnostics and that I had to pay it for every light on. Which I explained had all happened since the ABS light. I was there for 4 hours and I asked him to fix the ABS he didn’t said he didn’t have time and I had to reschedule. I had to wait another week, I took it to a friend who is a certified mechanic. He put it on his diagnostic computer and it kept coming back with ABS code. Said he couldn’t do the brakes until that was fixed. Went back this week, didn’t ask me anything when I pulled in, not even an hour later said my vehicle was done come get it. He handed me a quote of $1300 for brakes. I asked if I paid that would it fix the ABS he said no, but ur vehicle is not safe to drive. I explained I know, it wasn’t safe last week and you didn’t help me. I was able to get my vehicle to nearby brake-shop. I explained everything that happen, they also ran diagnostics and said it was ABS that they couldn’t fix it either until the dealership fixed the ABS. Now my vehicle is stuck at brake-shop and I just started a new job and have already had to miss two days work. I am completely dumbfounded as to why I am getting the run around and no one wants to help. I deplore having to complain, however it feels as though there is no more customer service/satisfaction.

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT THAT BURNS AN EXSESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. I DO ALOT OF DRIVING MAYBE AROUND 36 MILES A DAY. EVERY TWO WEEKS ANOTHER OIL CHANGE IS NEEDED. BOUGHT THIS VECHLE IN 2017 WITH ONLY 20,000 MILES ON IT THE EVERYTIME I GOES TO JIFFY LUBE IT SHOWS THAT THE ENGINE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED. THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VECHILE SINCE DAY ONE OF HAVING IT. I NEVER GOTTEN A NOTICE ABOUT THIS INFORMATION. HYUNDAI HAS BEEN CALLED NUMEROUS OF TIMES CONCERNING THIS MATTER. THE ENGINE WAS NEVER REPLACED OIL STILL BURNING REALLY FAST. ITS CAUSING A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY. I DONT THINK ANY OF THE PROBLEMS WERE TAKEN CARE OF.

Steering column coupler is failing. If it breaks completely, I could lose control of steering and it could lead to a crash. It is available for inspection and has been inspected by Hyundai and confirmed that it is a coupler failing. The only known problem, that I didn't realize was a problem, was vibration upon braking (I thought that was the rotors needing attention) and vibration when hitting speeds between 65-75 (which I thought was an alignment issue). It was when I tool it in for an alignment that I was asked if there was any "play" or clicking in the steering column and there was, but it was so slight, I had not thought anything of it. I was told there was a recall on this part for two models in 2014, but my Santa Fe was not part of that. There was also a recall for this part on a Santa Fe 2016 forward; again, it excluded my vehicle. The job is expensive, for a $24.00 part replacement. I am told the entire steering column needs to be replaced at a cost of $2800.00 and that was from the Hyundai dealer.

I have a Steering Coupler failure on a 2014 Santa Fe with 67k miles. Hyundai has already recalled the Steering Coupler in the Elantra and Sonata models, however this same part is used across multiple models including the Santa Fe and Azera. My family is forced to replace this on a 2014 Santa Fe and 2013 Azera. The defective part causes a heavy clunking in the steering column which could lead to an accident. Below is the recall notice. https://autoservice.hyundaiusa.com/TXX7/MicroSiteTemplate/MicroSiteTemplateVINValidate/2687 The part being replaced is below, which as you can see is across multiple models. MDPS Flexible Coupling Replacement 56315- 2K000-FFF Applicable Vehicles: 2010~2014 Sonata (YFa), 2011~2014 Sonata Hybrid (YF HEV) 2007~2017 Elantra (HD, MD/UD), 2009~2012 Elantra Touring (FD), 2013~2014 Elantra GT (GD), 2013~2014 Elantra Coupe (JK) 2013~2018 Santa Fe (NC) 2012~2017 Azera (HG) 2012~2017 Veloster (FS) I wanted to report this to ensure that the government agency responsible knows that this part is used in more than 2 models. This is a common complaint against Hyundai if you read online about their complaints. It is unsafe and unfair for other models to not be included in this recall.

Vehicle had a steering coupler failure at 37766 miles. It is out of warranty, but other models with the same design have been granted an extended 100000 miles/10 year coverage for steering coupler replacement.

All incidents, no accidents[Thannk God!] I drive a 2014 Sante Fe Sport. I noticed a clicking noise when turning the steering wheel. Initially, I heard it once in a while. I thought it was a one time noise. The clicking noise is more constant, when making a turn while the car is in motion. Sometimes the steering wheel feels 'loose' or uncontrollable. I believe it is the steering wheel or coupler. I am concerned for my safety and other drivers. Hearing this clicking constantly, sounds like the steering wheel is going to break. It is annoying! I am not comfortable driving this vehicle. I have no other means of transportation. I looked on the internet. I saw where customers have listed this complaint. There was a recall for 2018. The recall was shown as 173. This did not include my year, 2014. There was no recall shown. Please review the links listed below! https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2018/hyundai-santa-fe-steering-wheels-can-fall-off-recall.shtml -39 to 325 complaints https://www.carcomplaints.com/Hyundai/Santa_Fe/2014/steering/steering.shtml https://www.carcomplaints.com/investigations/https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2018/hyundai-power-steering-lawsuit-denied-class-action-certification.shtml As of 6.2.2021, Local Dealer and 855.371.9460 [corporate] has no information on recall or complaints.

The steering column makes a loud clicking noise - read online an several YouTube videos that there is a defective part in the steering unit on a lot of these. Steering is very big part of control especially with kids in the car I think there should be a recall to fix the part in hyaundia that is clicking in all the steering very serious problem because it is how u control the car.

MY 2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT ,I THINK IT IS CALLED COLUMN FLEXIBLE COUPLER. IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL.THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

WHILE DRIVING UP A STEEP WINDING ROAD MY CAR BEGAN MAKING A FLUTTERING NOISE LIKE A PADDLEBOAT. THERE WAS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL WITH A SMALL SQUEAK TO ONLY THE LEFT, IN THE PLAY OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LET ME KNOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING SHAFT. WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES THE STEERING SHAFT GO OUT, ISN'T THAT A COMPONENT THAT HAS A LONG LIFE? THE NOISE WAS MORE INTENSE DRIVING UP THE ROAD THAN GOING DOWN. AS REACHED A CITY LEVEL THE DRUMMING NOISE WAS STILL HAPPENING, BUT INCONSISTENT.

MY 2014 SANTA FE SPORT BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AT 72 MPH. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP THINKING THE WHEELS HAD BECOME UNBALANCED. IMMEDIATELY THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING AGAIN. I AGAIN TOOK IT FOR RE-BALANCING. SAME SHAKING PROBLEM. I TOOK IT A THIRD TIME TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP WHO FOUND THAT THE CALIPERS WERE SO HOT THEY WERE ABOUT TO BURN. YOU COULD FEEL AND SMELL THE HEAT. THE SHOP REPLACED THE CALIPERS THINKING THE SHAKING WAS A BRAKING ISSUE SINCE EVERY TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE EVEN WORSE. THE CALIPER REPLACEMENT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. FINALLY AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, AND ROTORS, THE SHOP DID ANOTHER ROAD TEST. THEN THE CAR NOT ONLY SHOOK BUT THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING DUE TO TIE ROD FAILURE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, SO THE SHOP HAD IT TOWED TO HYUNDAI FOR AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT UNDER A TSB. HYUNDAI REPLACED THE ENGINE BUT WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CALIPER AND BRAKING ISSUES, WHICH ENDED UP BEING DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ENGINE ISSUE.

VEHICLE ENGINE SEIZED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATION THAT IT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. MY 3 AND 4 YEAR OLD WERE WITH ME AS WE WERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, THANKFULLY NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT THE TIME DUE TO THE LIGHT BEING RED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD A KNOWN ISSUE THAT WAS RECALLED BY HYUNDAI BUT DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER. I ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH MY STEERING WHEEL AND CALLED ABOUT IT AND IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HYUNDAI YOU NEED TO SERIOUSLY TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR PROCESS FOR HANDLING THESE ISSUES WHEN THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY MANY VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF YOUR RECALLS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE. I WAS LITERALLY IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A TURN AND COULD NOT COMPLETE THE TURN WHICH LEFT ME DEAD SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. HAD THIS BEEN DURING HEAVIER TRAFFIC TIMES, I COULD HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF MY CAR STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

SITCKY STEERING WHEEL. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE STICKY STEERING WHEEL IS VERY PROMINENT, INFACT GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AFTER 50 MILES PER HOUR, VERY PRONOUNCED AT 70. VEHICLE WOULD SWAY TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT FIRST, WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO GET THE TIRE POINT TO THE CENTER, THE STEERING WHEEL INSTEAD OF GETTING TO THE DEAD CENTER WOULD OVER CORRECT AND MAKE THE WHEEL SLIGHTLY POINT TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE. AND THIS WOULD REPEAT. THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS STICKY OR NOTCHY, THAT IT GETS STUCK IN SLOTS AROUND INSTEAD OF MOVING SMOOTHLY AROUND. THIS CAUSES NOT JUST DRIVER FATIGUE, BUT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONSTANTLY THROWING THE CAR OF OUT OF THE LANE. I REPORTED THIS TO THE SERVICE CENTER AN YEAR BACK, AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS RECOMMENDED, BUT THE ISSUE HAS ONLY GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY BAD NOW. WILL BE GOING TO DEALER BACK AGAIN TO SEE IF THIS CAN BE FIXED. BUT WHEN I GOOGLED ABOUT THIS ISSUE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO ENCOUNTERING THE SAME PROBLEM, FOR MANY STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED AND YET WAS NOT RESOLVED. HYUNDAI MUST PERFORM A RECALL ON THIS VOLUNTARILY, AND FIND A FIX FOR THIS HIGHLY DANGEROUS SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE OLD CAR WORN OUT PROBLEM, MY CAR HAD FAR LESS THAN 20K MILES WHEN I INITIALLY REPORTED IT, AND NOW CLOSE TO 30K, AND THE CAR IS JUST TWO YEARS OLD, JUST DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY. IF IT WAS A LEASE, I WOULD HAVE JUST HANDED IT BACK AND FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT, UNFORTUNATELY WE BOUGHT IT.

EXACTLY 2,000 MILES AFTER MY 60,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED, MY CAR EXPERIENCED A FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE WHICH ALSO IMPACTED STEERING, YAW/STABILITY AND OTHER VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURES. THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE I WAS STARTING THE VEHICLE BUT I ENCOUNTERED NO ISSUES WHEN DRIVING IT 25 MINUTES TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT (FORTUNATELY). IT TOOK FROM 2 PM APRIL 4 TO 4 PM APRIL 6 TO GET THE NECESSARY REPAIRS DONE (THE PART HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED). IT WAS NOT COVERED BY EITHER THE EXPIRED 60,000 MILE WARRANTY OR THE EXTRA ($1,500) 100,000 MILE WARRANTY (I WAS TOLD THAT THAT WARRANTY DID NOT COVER SAFETY ISSUES).

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.

Mileage: 38,000

WHEN DRIVING, THE WHEEL STICKS INTO WHAT IT THINKS IS CENTER .WE MUST USE TWO HANDS TO DRIVE THE CAR AT ALL TIMES AND CLUTCHING THE STEERING WHEEL IS A MUST. WHEN THE WHEEL IS IN THE CENTER POSITION YOU HAVE TO LIGHTLY JERK BACK AND FORTH TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT, EVEN WHEN CHANGING LANES ON THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE DRIVES A LOT LIKE A SUV WITH A REALLY BAD ALIGNMENT, HOWEVER IT DOESN'T NEED ONE ACCORDING TO CARMAX. WE ARE NEWLY WRAPPED IN A 30,000.00 CAR LOAN FINANCED BY CAPITAL ONE AND WE ARE GETTING MORE FEARFUL OF THIS VEHICLE THE MORE WE DRIVE IT. WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH OF A PROBLEM WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS AT 30 OR BELOW IN SPEED, HOWEVER ANYTHING ABOVE THAT IS GOING TO FEEL VERY NOTICEABLE. I HAVE 29,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE 2/23/2017. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM CARMAX, A REPUTABLE COMPANY IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA. THE CAR IS BEING FINANCED THROUGH CAPITAL ONE CREDIT. THE 2014 SANTA FE IS WHITE, GLS, 3RD ROW, DRIVE ASSIST. WE SUSPECT THAT WHILE THE CAR HAS DRIVE ASSIST ABILITY (ESPECIALLY IN TURNS) THAT THE VEHICLE ISN'T AWARE WE AREN'T TURNING AS WE PULL THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IT CENTERED IN THE LANE. THUS WE ARE PUSHING THE WHEEL LEFT TO RIGHT TO BALANCE OUT THE WHEEL TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT CONSTANTLY. EXAMPLE: DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 20 HEADING TO THE DOCTORS OFFICE AT UAB KIRKLIN CLINIC AT 8:00 RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE CENTER POSITION OF THE WHEEL WHILE PULLING THE WHEEL LEFT TO RIGHT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. THE WHEEL SEEMS TO PULL TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER AND WHILE CHECKING MIRRORS AND FOR OTHER CARS BEFORE GETTING OVER IN ANOTHER LANE, I COULD BE IN ANOTHER LANE WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING IT. I AM AFRAID A POLICEMAN WILL SEE ME AND THINK I AM A DRUNK DRIVER. I HAVE DRIVEN OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD A FEW TIMES BY ACCIDENT AFTER LOOKING FOR A SECOND TO CHECK MY SPEED OR CHECK MY GAS GAUGE.

I HAVE A 2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT AWD. THIS IS MY 3RD HYUNDAI. I HAVE REALLY BEEN IMPRESSED UNTIL NOW. MY CAR WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING OVER 50MPH EITHER ON A ROAD OR INTERSTATE. I HAVE TO WORK HARD TO HOLD THE WHEEL TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. THE HANDLING IS AWFUL I FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS SKATING ALL OVER THE ROAD. LIKE I AM DRIVING ON ICE. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED, HAD A NEW ALIGNMENT PERFORMED, AS WELL AS REPLACE THE TIRES. THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO PUT MY 5 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE. I CANNOT KEEP THE STEERING STRAIGHT. WHAT IS HYUNDAI DOING TO FIX THIS ISSUE? I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I FEEL IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY?

HIGHWAY DRIVING AT SPEEDS AROUND AND ABOVE 60MPH THE VEHICLE' STEERING REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION TO KEEP IT WITHIN THE LANES. THE SUV RANDOMLY SWERVES IN ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER AND REQUIRES QUITE A BIT OF EFFORT TO BRING IT BACK TO CENTER LANE. THE CONSTANT BATTLE TO KEEP THE SUV CENTERED IN THE LANE CAUSES ARM FATIGUE OVER TIME. PASSENGERS, ESPECIALLY IN THE BACK SEAT, COULD EXPERIENCE MOTION SICKNESS DUE TO THE CONSTANT SIDE-TO-SIDE CORRECTIONS. NOTICED THE PROBLEM IS WORSE ON LARGER HIGHWAYS, 3-4 LANES WIDE. MAY BE DUE TO ANGLE OF ROADS FOR WATER RUN-OFF. THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME INCIDENT, IT IS ALWAYS THIS WAY. NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER AT LOWER SPEEDS.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE DRIVING STRAIGHT. THE VEHICLE TENDS TO WANDER AND REQUIRES CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTIONS TO KEEP IT GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE EVEN ON A STRAIGHT LEVEL ROAD WITH NO WIND, AND WILL SOMETIMES VEER OFF QUICKLY IN EITHER DIRECTION, LEAVING ITS LANE, FOR NO APPARENT REASON.THIS CAN BE PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE--ESPECIALLY A TRUCK. WHEN DRIVING FOR A LONG DISTANCE, IT IS ALSO VERY TIRING TO CONSTANTLY HAVE TO BE "STEERING" THE VEHICLE ALL DAY LONG. MY DESCRIPTION OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IS THAT, "IT IS LIKE HERDING A CAT DOWN THE HIGHWAY.". I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO MY DEALER TWICE: THE FIRST TIME THEY CHECKED ALIGNMENT (NOTHING FOUND), THE SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED THE ORIGINAL KUHMO TIRES WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES FROM A 2015 SANTA FE (THIS MADE A HUGE IMPROVEMENT, AND MADE THE VEHICLE DRIVABLE, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS). I THEN WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER (THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, BUT DID SUGGEST INCREASING THE TIRE PRESSURE TO 40 PSI). I THEN CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY SUGGESTIONS/RECALL/ETC. & ALTHOUGH THEY WERE VERY PLEASANT TO TALK WITH, THEY DID NOT SEEM TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH IT WILL COST ME ALMOST $10,000 TO MAKE A CHANGE; BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE DECIDED TO SELL THE VEHICLE, AS I FEEL THAT IT IS TOO UNSAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE. (I ALSO HAVE A 2008 SANTA FE, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW, AND WHICH HAS NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF STEERING/HANDLING ISSUE.). *TR

THE CAR FEELS VERY UNSTABLE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT WONDERS ACROSS THE ROAD AND I AM ALWAYS TRYING TO CORRECT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, STARTING AROUND 55MPH, THE CAR STARTS GETTING WOBBLY ON THE ROAD. IT IS A CONSTANT STRUGGLE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT. IF THERE IS ANY WIND OR DRIVING BY TRUCKS, THE CAR BECOMES EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A FIX, HOWEVER DEALER ATTEMPTS SEEM TO EVEN WORSEN THE ISSUE WITH OTHERS, SO I HAVE YET TO ADDRESS THIS WITH THE DEALER. I DO WORRY WHEN MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR BECAUSE SHE IS NOT USED TO IT, AND HAS ' THROWN' HER INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE SEVERAL TIMES. I'M HOPING HYUNDAI WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND COME UP WITH A VIABLE SOLUTION. *TR

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF AROUND 65+ MPH, THE VEHICLE REQUIRES CONSTANT, BUT VERY SLIGHT, STEERING CORRECTIONS WHERE THE SLIGHTEST LAPSE IN ATTENTION MAY RESULT IN THE VEHICLE LEAVING ITS LANE AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN A CRASH. ODDLY, THIS IS MOST NOTICEABLE ON SMOOTH, STRAIGHT, LEVEL HIGHWAYS WITHOUT WIND OR OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY THAT COULD AFFECT THE TRACKING OF THE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE (NEG. OR 0 DEG TOE) OR AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM ISSUE (TORQUE SENSOR TOO COARSE, DRIVE MOTOR TOO AGGRESSIVE, OR IMPROPER GAIN (I.E. SYSTEM RESPONDS TOO LATE TO INPUT, THEN OVER RESPONDS WHEN IT DOES RESPOND))...THOUGH THESE ARE EDUCATED GUESSES. MY FIRST DEALERS REFUSED TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT BECAUSE THEY "HAVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO CONFIRM THE ISSUE," AND "THEY ARE NOT ALLOW TO DRIVE OVER 65 MPH." EVEN IF THEY WERE ABLE TO DRIVE ABOVE 65 MPH, THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO IT ON THE RIGHT TYPE OF HIGHWAY AND UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS FOR THE ISSUE TO SHOW ITSELF, AND I DOUBT MANY DEALERS WILL GO THROUGH SUCH AN EFFORT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THE 2013 MODELS AND, TO A LESSER DEGREE, WITH THE 2014 MODELS. PLEASE SEE: HTTP://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/DM-2013-SANTA-FE/152283-2013-SANTA-FE-SPORT-STEERING-ISSUES-33.HTML NOTE THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WERE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH AN ALIGNMENT (POINTING TO THE EPS HAVING AN ISSUE). THE SAME COMPLAINTS ALSO APPEAR WITH THE HYUNDAI SONATA. *TR

CAR WONDERS WHEN TRAVELING ON FREEWAY GOING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. CORRECTING FOR THIS DARTING FROM SIDE TO SIDE SEEMS SCARY AT THESE SPEEDS. CHANGING THE DRIVING MODE SELECTION ON THE STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T CHANGE THE PROBLEM. I STILL EXPERIENCE THE SAME WONDERING AND DARTING THAT I AM CONSTANTLY TRYING TO CORRECT. THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE TIRES BUT THEY ARE NEW AND NO SIGNS OF UNUSUAL WEAR. ACTS LIKE A WORN BALL JOINT OR TIE ROD OR THE NEED FOR AN ALIGNMENT. *TR

2014 SANTA FE SPORT AWD - THE CAR WANDERS EXCESSIVELY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE PROBLEM BECOMES WORSE AS THE SPEED INCREASES. THE CAR NEEDS CONTINUOUS STEERING CORRECTING JUST TRYING TO TRAVEL IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE CAR WILL DART FRONT RIGHT TO LEFT AT VARYING DEGREES OF INTENSITY. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH LESS THAN 500 MILES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALER CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT BUT FOUND NO ISSUES WITH IT. AS DESCRIBED BY OTHERS, THE CAR BEHAVES AS IF IT HAD WORN OUT BALL JOINTS, HOWEVER IT IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I HAD THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE, BUT AFTER TEST DRIVING ANOTHER SANTA FE SPORT AWD AND READING ONLINE REVIEWS FROM PLACES SUCH AS EDMUNDS.COM AND NUMEROUS OWNER COMMUNITY FORUMS BY SIMPLY SEARCHING "SANTA FE WANDERING", IT APPEARS THAT A VAST NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS TERRIFYING ANOMALY. THIS ISSUE MAKES ME FEEL INCREDIBLY UNSAFE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ESPECIALLY WHEN PASSING TRAFFIC OR NEXT TO OTHER VEHICLES AS THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE DRIFTED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP VEHICLE IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WHERE THE ALIGNMENT WAS ADJUSTED AND THE TIRES WERE CHECKED BUT THE DEFECT PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150.

DROVE NEW 2014 SANTA FE SPORT 2.0T FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER BUYING IT 3 DAYS EARLIER. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT PATH WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. SF REQUIRED CONTINUOUS CORRECTION AT A VARYING DEGREE. IT IS NOT ONLY THAT THE VEHICLE WONDERS, BUT IT DOES SO MILDLY AND AGGRESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE TENDS TO SWAY AND ROCK ALL WHILE TRYING TO CORRECT FOR THE CONTINUOUS WONDERING. IT'S A VERY ODD SENSATION THAT OCCURS, JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU MIGHT GO STRAIGHT FOR A BIT THE VEHICLE WILL DART TO ONE SIDE AND IT HAS NO RHYTHM OR REASON. SOMETIMES LEFT SOMETIMES RIGHT AND THE ROAD CROWN PLAYS NO PART IN THE DIRECTION. DEALER ALIGNED ALL 4 WHEELS TWICE. ADDED TOE IN AND CAMBER TO THE REAR. ALSO, REPLACED REAR SPRINGS AND SHOCKS. TURNS OUT ONE OF THE SPRINGS WAS SHORTER THAN THE OTHER BY 1/4" CAUSING THE SUSPENSION TO BE UNBALANCED. THIS REPAIR HELPED FOR SOME OF THE UNEXPLAINED ROCKING BUT NOW THAT IT IS FIXED THE WHOLE STEERING ISSUE HAS BEEN EXACERBATED. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AND INTEND ON SELLING IT. CURRENTLY, IT HAS 11K MILES. I LOGGED ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY TOO. THE FACT THAT POTENTIAL BUYERS RARELY GET TO DRIVE THE NEW CAR FOR MORE THAN 7-10 MILES AND AT SPEEDS RARELY ABOVE CITY IS A DISSERVICE. IF HYUNDAI KNOWS THIS PROBLEM EXISTS AND GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT KNOWS, THAN IT IS DECEITFUL AND DISHONEST. LASTLY, THIS VEHICLE BEHAVES IN THE SAME MANNER AS ONE WITH WORN OUT BALL JOINTS THAT WOULD NOT PASS A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION. YET THESE SANTA FES ARE STILL BEING SOLD. IT'S A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING. BUYER BEWARE! *TR
