Hyundai Santa Fe Sport

"the driver side front door rubber seal wore/ripped in about one year due to the location and it being rubbed everytime you entered the car"

"There has been a squeak above the passenger door since day-1. Although the service dept. spent hours trying to find it, it is still with me. I have tried to have it taken care of, to no avail. I suspect it is in the basic body shell. I give up."

"Noise in the B pillar toward top where the seat belt loop is. Noise happens when temperature get around 80 degrees and higher. Has been in to dealer but problem continues"

"Check engine light illuminated due to bad fuel cap seal. Hyundai dealership from which we obtained this vehicle downplayed need for immediate attention "unless the light starts flashing." They were also not surprised by the problem. They had already changed several fuel caps for the same reason"

"When I am putting gas into my car, the nozzle keeps clicking off, even when I'm holding it"

"Fll valve recall. Resulted in numerous returns to dealer because of gasoline smell. They opened and replaced access panel and o ring gaskets to fix. Took weeks for gas smell to subside"

"Car drifts to the left. Checked and Realigned three times. Still drifts to left."

"two alignments in two years mostly highway driving Not acceptable compared to 2004 tundra owned for 7 yrs and just needing first"

"Rear tires were out of alignment causing tire cupping and road noise"

"Poorly installed roof rack."

"The drivers seats outer molding is broken. This also happened on y2014 Sante Fe Sport. It is not of good quality and is a constant problem, and breaks easily when you have to sit on the outer edge of the seat."

"Black finished wheels had peeling finish"

"It was a recall to replace a pin in the shifter linkage. Did not experience any problemprior. I was notified, brought it in at an oil change interval and it was replaced."

"The vehicle occasionally will not shift properly when in "eco" drive mode. It causes the vehicle to "stutter" slightly and can result in unnecessary acceleration and excessive pushing on the gas pedal."

"The transition from first to second gear had a rpm increase to 4000. The shift from second to third was rough also, There was a recall of a switch, and that mitigated the problem."

"There was a recall on a loose bolt on the Alternator, I took it in on the 7200 mileage and they fixed it. I did not even know about it until I made the online appointment"

"Even though the battery test good the car continues not to start until you jump it. Hyundai dealer can not locate any problems."

"I'm not sure if I have the right part or not. I have had where I push button to start it and it wouldn't start. It will show all the lights. Took a few times before it would start. Also a shutter in the car. Hyundai couldn't find anything wrong up updated software. I have since felt it shutter one more time."

"The AC has a chronic evaporation / drainage system issue. I have to clear the blockage from the drainage tube multiple times during the year."

"At times, one of the flaps directing the airflow in the climate control system sticks, so the air doesn't get directed properly; after manually cycling through the different modes, it eventually frees up and we can hear a sound that is apparently the flap unsticking/moving to the correct position and everything then works properly."

"The engine block is so small it won't stay hot in cold weather."

"Engine was making a whirring sound at 9998 miles starting around 1500 rpm. Dealer says the engine has an internal failure and currently are waiting for a replacement engine"

"In our 2 months of ownership the vehicle has gone into limp mode with engine problems, twice. Vehicle is extremely unreliable and unsafe. Would never purchase any Hyundai again."

"Check engine light blinking; power reduced to 1500 rpm or less. Engine had 22k miles. Issue had to do with faulty engine rods. Hyundai ordered the engine to be replaced due to safety concerns. Safety software caught problem and forced engine into safe mode."

"My vehicle was at Hyundai for over 3 months due to electrical issues with warning lights coming on for: Check Smart Cruise Control Check Smart High Beam Check AEB Check LDWS"

"Led running lights, one led not working when delivered. Module replaced"

"Both headlights have failed twice in the less than three years that I've had this car. Brake lights and turn signals have failed as well. In two cases I've spent more than $600 to replace an entire light fixture because the dealership says the whole fixture needed to be replaced"

"Issue was vibration at 55 mpg and higher. Drive shaft and 4WD coupling was replaced. All covered under warranty."

"The car would quit when making a left hand turn. This was fixed by my local Hyundai dealer with TSB 17-BR-002-1 to re flash the ECM."

"The seat belts do not retract like they should when not in use. They typically just hang down with the buckle in the area of the door jam. When closing the door the buckle prevents the door from closing which has resulted in damage to the door jam as well as the interior door."

"In winter the engine temp dropped then came back up. This happened a few times but the dealer couldn't find the problem They made a note of it for the future"

"This was expected after 60,000 miles on the car."
