Hyundai Santa Fe Change Vehicle

"Right rear speed sensor faulty. Replaced the right rear hub assembly"

"ABS lite and TPMS lite flashes erroneously. Hyundai performs service 17 times for TPMS and 1 for ABS lilt and has informed me that they can't fix the problem and now I own it. They did however offer me an extended warranty and said thew will continue to reset the lite for the next 7 years or 100K miles whichever comes first. I will not ever own another Hyundai"

"Calipers seized causing overheating of brakes"

"nothing special"

"Normal brake pad wear, but rotors were worn and had to be replaced."

"front pads were worn after 100,000 miles and needed replacement"

"We moved from the south to upstate NY where the snow, salt & rock caused some problems."

"It doesn't lock the vehicle. Upon applying, the car will roll several inches. Dealer's service dept said this is "normal""

"Had it serviced twice, as it doesn't hold the vehicle in place when applied"

"The backing plates, also called brake dust shields, rusted very badly. A part of the parking brake mechanism is attached to these backing plates. As a result of the rust and deterioration, the parking brakes shoes came loose and caused the rear wheel to lock up"

"Brake pads are close to needing replacement, and rotors have been ground, and uneven wear is evident already, less than year later, and they are making a noise when applied"

"Had to replace all brake pads, had to machine front rotors and replace rear rotors at 30000 miles"

"Both the backing plates and the rotors rusted badly and created premature wear of the rest of the brake mechanism."

"Very heavy rusting on rotors"

"Apparently not designed well for Canadian winters. Lots of road stuff gets in"

"Rear rotors have a decorative hub and are therefore very expensive."

"they apparently wore out and I needed new ones"

"engine pulley needed replacement. Downtime 1 day"

"idler pulley"

"noisy idler pulley bearing"

"Replaced noisy defecty polled on warranty"

"Engine seemed to want to stall when stopping. Fixed with firmware repair"

"Under certain conditions when braking or under low speed, the car would stall. According to service notification, load placed on engine from alternator would cause drop in RPM and then car could stall. Hyundai updated Engine Control Module logic"

"Engine stalled when vehicle stopped. Computer was reset"

"Warranty update / reprogramming the engine computer"

"It was a check because of the recall"

"The oil sensor switch had to be replaced due to a leak. It was replaced about 40K earlier. Done under warranty even though it has expired"

"Condensator leak"

"oil pressure switch failure"

"Oil pressure sending unit leakage was so bad that engine was almost out of oil upon arrival at dealership after 17 mile trip. Oil level was checked and full at start of trip to dealer. No oil on dip stick on arrival! Engine almost ran out of oil and could have seized. Known problem with these engines and often misdiagnosed as a rear main engine bearing seal leak."

"Oil pressure sensor developed a very bad leak losing a quart of oil in 15 miles which made it undriveable. Hyundai did not considered this to be part of the drive system which was still under warranty so I had to pay approximately $2000 for the tow and repairs. Then 3 months later after less than 2000 miles, the same part started leaking again."

"the oil pan gasket leaking 41,000 when replacing the alternator that the bearings went out on. both fixed."

"Oil pan gasket leak"

"Door hinges have terrible squeel"

"Driver window, Rattles in dash"

"There always seems to be some sort of rattling and air leaks that they never seem to be able to fix or take care of"

"Mechanic has been unable to find the cause of the squeak. Suspect it is in the steering wheel itself. Squeaks only when turning right."

"When the rear windows are opened, there is a buffering type of noise that hurts the ears. You have counter balance by opening the front windows"

"excessive wind noise at highway speed prevents use of radio"

"Above 50 mph, the radio has to be so loud that normal conversation is impossible"

"From the time we purchased the vehicle there has been a whistle sound and excessive noise"

"door seals and window seals"

"When the either/both rear windows are open, there is a buffering type of noise that is horrible. The only way to alleviate this condition is to balance it out by opening the front window"

"Take too long to come on"

"Take too long to boot up. Screen is too dark for the first 5 minutes or so"

"Goes in and out. Requires periodic linking with I Phone"

"Sometimes the blue tooth does not work at all"

"Satellite antenna went bad and was replaced."

"Continues to default to spanish."

"Since I purchased the car the Bluetooth does not work properly. I have also had issues with the cruise control"

"front grill had paint flaking off, it was replaced"

"I think it started about four years ago. I didn't realize it was manufacture defect until I looked I up on line. I never vote it back to the dealer"

"paint blistering around fuel fill door"

"The front grill has been replaced 2 times because of peeling"

"The rust was a result of the paint chipping along the edge of the hood and chips on the roof. I was surprised that the chips went clear down to the metal and rusted so quickly"

"Frame rusting badly"

"Right under the back window I noticed a rust stain. I took it to my dealer and he repaired it. They will continue to monitor this insistent"

"surface rust below rear window"

"electronic controls are not reliable. It turns itself on. Can't seem turn it off sometimes"

"Turns on and off oni its own"

"blower was blowing hot air while operating the AC. If you adjusted the temperature control knob, it would suddenly blow hot air out, and the AC cold air would not come out."

"The system cuts out at random, going from heat to cold (heater stops). Same in reverse, from air conditioner to no cool air at all. Can not determine cause of problem"

"When you put the climate control on a high level, it does not heat the car up quickly or at all at times"

"Complete heater controls replaced under warranty"

"A/C not cold and only blowing hot air. fixed at dealership"

"mfg recall of engine"

"manufacturing engine problems, engine failed and was replaced by hyundai but it took 6 months to get the car back,"

"My engine seized on the freeway in October 2019. At the time, the engine had 95K miles on it. It was discovered that the engine had so much metal in the pan that it looked a cat litter box. I am fortunate that Hyundai completely rebuilt the engine and gave me a loaner for the five weeks it took to fix it without charging me a cent (apparently there had been a class-action lawsuit for exactly this problem some years previously). I have to give Hyundai high marks for customer service but considering the severity of the issue and the timing of my engine freezing up (going 85 mph on a freeway), I have lost confidence in Hyundai and my next vehicle will likely be a different make. It is disappointing because prior to this issue, I had considered this vehicle the best I'd ever owned."

"fuel leaking internally in the engine"

"The transmission has had the computer replaced 3 times over the life of the vehicle, I have had 2 separate occasions when there were fluid leaks and the vehicle stopped operating, a complete transmission replacement was required."

"Torque converter noise. Internet information indicated a seal leak on the torque converter causing low fluid pressure resulting in no torque converter "lock up". Sometimes running the engine up to 3000 rpm for a mile or so would stop the noise for about one week"

"Rebuild transfer case for $1300, out of warranty"

"It felt like the car was slipping out of gear and seemed to be in neutral while driving. Then it would catch and get back into gear"

"Alternator went on way to work"

"Battery failed . replaced at 35 months"

"Battery didn't have enough juice to start the car. This was not the original battery that came with the vehicle. Batteries in the South should be changed every 24-28 months due to the summer heat that wrecks a battery."

"Failed early"
