The remedy shown for the current recall is the same as the last recall. My vehicle was inspected as per last recall recommendation and no action was performed by the dealer. Why is hyundai still using the same the same remedy as per recall 194 customers can continue driving these vehicles; however, due to the possibility of a fire originating from the abs module while parked, hyundai recommends parking these vehicles outside and away from structures until the recall remedy is completed. Hyundai plans to notify owners to bring their vehicles to the nearest hyundai dealership for inspection of the abs module and if necessary, replacement with a new one. In addition to abs module inspection, the abs multi-fuse will be replaced with a revised one to mitigate the risk of a fire caused by an internal electrical short. The remedy procedure will be performed at no charge to the customer. Hyundai will provide reimbursement to owners for repairs according to the plan submitted to nhtsa on may 16, 2018.

I was getting on the expressway and everything just seemed like it was on safety mode. My car gurgled, it wouldn't switch gears, the engine light kept flashing. I thought it was a transmission issue until i got it to a firestone. They said the cylinder is missing on 2,4,6. And that there was a timing chain issue. The dealership says it sounds more like coils.... I'm experiencing all the same issues i'm reading about here. No warning, smelling something burning although no fire. The rpm kept going up at i'm giving gas but not the speed. It has 80,000. Why are only the sports models covered when there are so many cases of other models?

Engine light came on, engine started to make a rattling sound. The sound got worse when accelerating especially if i was attempting to go up a hill.I tried to make it to a mechanic, but the engine died on the way while attempting to make it up a big hill and would not restart. I had it towed to a shop, they said there was no oil in the car despite the fact that we always had our oil changed regularly. There was no sign of a leak. They had to put three quarts in it just for anything to show on the dipstick. The shop that i took it to did not do engine repair and recommended that i had it taken some place to have the engine rebuilt. Their theory was is that something blew and that the oil was being burned up. It happened so fast. One day i had a dependable care that i loved. The next it needed it's engine replaced. However, i knew i could not afford to pay for an engine to be rebuilt or replaced. So, i had to just have my car towed home.

Car was stationary and would not start, towed to dealer and dealer explained engine was blown. I searched google for recalls and many hyundai santa fe's between 2013-2019 had recalls, although they were sports model and ours is not a sports model, we believe that there would be other santa fe non-sports model with same issue. Hyundai informed us that it would cost $18000 for a new engine, they would cover half the cost, we purchased the car for around $21000 - this is ridiculous and taking advantage of consumers. I am waiting for paper work from hyundai with report but there is no way i can pay $9000 to get a new engine. Any assistance on this gauging and possible issue that others have encountered would be appreciated. I do not think they are being honest.

Our vehicle has never had any issues, no check engine light, nothing. We were driving on the highway at approximately 60mph when there began to have a knocking, rattling noise from the engine. We pulled over to check it, no check engine light or anything still. Drove the vehicle to our repair shop, and on the way there, our engine blew. Still no check engine light came on. Our vehicle only had 133,000 miles on it, so of course it's out of warranty. Such a huge burden. We are now stuck having to replace the engine, while owing a crap ton of money on this suv.

Received recall notice; told to park car outside as it could catch fine. Took car to dealership to have it repaired. Was told diagnostic show abs module was not leaking, therefore no repair needed although they couldn't guarantee it wouldn't leak in the future. Called hyundai corporate (listened to campaign 953) detailing that an electronic update was installed which if the leak occurs, the car would be placed in a mode that would not allow it to be driven fast and to immediately go to hyundai dealership. I want my car repaired and part replaced. This electronic update does not do that ... If the corporation knows the part is faulty they should replace all, not just those that test bad at the time of the check. Was given no other recourse.

2015 hyundai sant fe limited 3.3l awd, purchased new from dealership, 129,280 miles. Routine oil service with mobil 1 synthetic and wix filters since purchased. Traveling 75mph on i-10 (florida) with cruise control on. Not towing, traveling straight. As the vehicle started up a small grade in the road, the cruise control surged (as normal to maintain vehicle speed) i heard a bang, check engine light came on, oil light came on, engine died immediately. I immediately shifted into neutral and looked out the passenger window to merge onto the shoulder and noticed an orange glow outside (it was night). Once stopped, opened hood and noticed smell of oil, oil pooled in the underbody fairing. Checked oil drain plug and filter, as i had an oil change 700 miles prior. Both were still properly installed. Towed to local mechanic, diagnosis was seized engine. Inspected engine block and noticed fist sized hole in block (see photos). Towed to dealership, was informed they hadn't seen this before on this engine. I informed them i currently drive a 2001 hyundai elantra with 220k miles on it and have been driving/maintaining cars for 30 years and i've never seen this before either. Was informed that they suspect improper oil maintenance. Oil and filter both replaced every 5000 miles. Always mobile 1 synthetic and wix (good quality filters/oil). I suspect hyundai has engine reliability issues. No prior engine issues noticed. No check engine lights prior. No oil lights on prior. We just completed a trip to nashville, tn (860 miles round trip) and were returning from jasper, fl (460 miles round trip). Oil and filter replaced right before trip. Tires balanced and rotated. In other words, i maintain my car.

My 2015 hyundai santa fe has been recalled due to the anti-lock system (abs) modules that could leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrica short over time.

An electrical short in the abs module could increase the risk of an engine compartment fire.

Was driving to work on an interstate highway, going approximately 65-75mph for about 10 minutes. As i pushed the accelerator to prepare for a lane change, i realized that i could put the accelerator all the way to the floor with no response. I immediately noticed that my "check engine" light appeared. I tried again unsuccessfully, then tried the breaks. The breaks were very stiff, as if their power to the engine was cut off. I tried to turn off of the highway onto the curb, and i noticed that my steering wheel was also very stiff. Although i could turn, it took much more strength than usual. I let the speed decline naturally until it stopped entirely on the side of the highway. While stopped, i tried repeatedly to use the breaks, gas, and test the steering, but the same issues were there with zero success. One thing i can note was that the battery appeared to be working just fine, as my radio was on throughout this entire time. The check engine light remained on until i turned the car off, and waited a few minutes. I turned the car on after some time and it immediately worked - with everything else appearing to function properly. The light at this time was off, and has not happened since. I immediately turned the car into the hyundai dealership, but because the light turned off, they claim that they are not able to read what had happened during this incident. They gave the car back to me while offering no suggestions, they did not even take the time to look at the engine. They even said that they would trade in the car for resale - as if they would let someone else take this defective product. I am lucky i didn't die, and this could have been worse. My problem appears to look much like the recalls of other santa fe years around 2015. I have tried for a week to contact hyundai with no success in getting in contact with a case manager. Failure mileage around 83,000.

While exiting the highway at a rate of 20mph on a decline, we began to slide in the snow, as we slid i began pumping the brakes to slow us down but the hill made us gain speed even though the wheels were not spinning. After sliding down hill for close to 100 yards, we made impact with another vehicle driving through the intersection. The front of my vehicle made direct impact with the side of the minivan. Impact was hard enough for the front bumper of my vehicle to be completely ripped off, my radiator cracked, the minivan is totaled and all the airbags went off in the minivan, but my airbags never did resulting in my chipping my teeth on the steering wheel, aggravating a fractured wrist, hurting my ribs, as well as my passenger hitting their head hard enough to give them a physician diagnosed concussion putting them out of work for 2 days and giving her whiplash. We purchased the vehicle because of the safety standards and reputation of hyundai with the plan to be having children, we are fortunate that we have not had children yet.

While accelerating the engine started to make noise. The noise almost sounded like metal stuck spinning around in a metal fan. It stopped when i let off the gas and was fine for another mile. It then started sounding again but did not stop when i let off the gas. I barely made it into a parking lot then had to call to have it towed. You can hear the noise when the car is turned on and especially when it is accelerating. The vehicle moves very slowly and the noise becomes very loud when accelerating. I have a video of the sound but cannot attach to this. It kind of sounds like the marble in a spray paint can when shaking it. I was driving up a hill on a rural 1 lane hyway.

We were on a trip from nebraska to michigan and return. When traveling along the toll road express south of chicago at about 65mph 02/1we both smelled "something burning". Determining that it was not anything on the interior, we closed the outside air vent control and felt that it was kind of a hot electrical wire burning smell coming from the engine compartment. When we could finally exit the expressway we tried to smell around the front wheel wells and the odor seemed to have gone away. We ate lunch, let the car sit for 45 minutes and drove on, not smelling that again. The "burning odor" was present for 5-8 minutes.

Dear national highway traffic safety administration personnel, i received the attached 'product improvement campaign' notice from hyundai for my 2015 santa fe sport vehicle. If you read the campaign, i think, it reads like it should be a safety recall. They state the engine can have excessive connecting rod bearing wear. How can you believe them that the engine will not happen quickly and cause an accident. I think, as usual, they are looking more at the dollars than possible loss of life. The national highway traffic safety administration should be protecting the driver, not the manufacturer. Hyundai is placing the burden of their mistake on the customer. I had the software update done, but that does not solve the safety problem. This condition limits where you can drive this vehicle. The customer cannot be too far from a dealer. They do not state how far you can drive the car once the engine light blinks on! However they do threaten you, if you drive too far, you may void the warranty. Then they ask you to accept their apologies. They do not state if they will pay to toe the vehicle to the dealer. [xxx] i could not figure out how to attach the copy of the campaign.

Hyundai santa fe sport 2.0 engine 2015 as i was driving down the highway going about 75-80mph i started to hear a weird noise. When i decreased my speed the noise disappeared as i began to increase my speed the noise started again. It sounded like ticking/rattling noise. There was no indication lights that something was wrong. Nothing! I had to spend money to have the suv towed to the dealership and for the dealership to tell me that the motor is gone and that it will cost me $5,500.00 to have it fixed. I am not a happy camper.

While driving on city street at about 40 mph, a knocking sound was heard from the engine. After driving another 5 miles the noise became loader and the engine check light came on. Took the vehicle to the dealership (hyundai of cool springs, franklin, tn) for service. After several days was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. They found sludge and metal shavings inside the engine and oil pan. Hyundai was notified of the problem and denied the claim.

On 7/19/2018, after starting the vehicle, i noticed the engine would not rev more than 4000rpm while in park. Thought this might be a safety feature so didn't give it much thought. I drove the car that day approximately 80 miles, and about 1 mile from my house, while stopped at a stop sign on a city street, the engine died. I was able to get the car started but it immediately died again. I was able to again get the vehicle started and drove it the rest of the way home. No check engine light ever illuminated! Drove the car about 20 total miles over the next 3 days with no problems. On 7/23/2018, my wife drove the car to work and the engine stopped running while she was still moving on a busy city street. She was able to pull to the side of the road. The engine would not start again and she had to have it towed to the local hyundai dealership. Still no check engine light! We bought this vehicle on 7/11/2015. A 36 month old vehicle with approx 30k miles and it breaks down? This problem is not an annoyance. This problem is a safety issue! Nhtsa should be ordering a mandatory recall, especially after the problems they had with prior year hyundai engines.

Hit accelerator and won't shift into gear, loud revs and then hear a bang and the car jumps as it finally shifts into gear. This has happened randomly throughout the life of my car at random, i didn't think much of it, then last week, i start to lose power, and same thing, it happens multiple times on the same drive. Never once when this happens did i get a check engine light. Then it got scary as while on the freeway the vehicle would downshift when traveling at a high rate of speed on its own while in drive. Still no check engine light car finally gets back to correct gear ratio for the speed. Finally the check engine light comes on. Now the car won't shift out of 4th gear, no 1st or second gear.

Transmission disengages at red-line speeds. Engine rpm's continue to rev up while vehicle forward trajectory is cut off. Intermittent problem - creates safety issue when passing at freeway speeds and transmission disengages at red-line instead of shifting up to the next gear. When going from zero to sixty (from a stop) the tachometer/transmission will disengage after first gear hits redline. This happens while in automatic mode. Engine continues to rev higher rpm's, but vehicle loses forward trajectory. This has been an intermittent problem since owning the car which was purchased brand new in 2015.

I actually have two separate problems with my hyundai. 1)my car lurches when i step on the gas if i've had to slow down or stop. I was crossing railroad tracks behind someone who slowed way down. They finally got over the tracks and sped back up, i also stepped on the gas to go just as the rr crossing arms started to flash & come down, there was a train coming. My car hesitated and lurched which gave me a bit of a fright, since there was a train coming three blocks away. I made it across the tracks with time to spare, but have also had this happen when i was pulling into traffic. When you pull out in traffic at a busy intersection, to have your car lurch & pause is a bit unnerving & makes me look like a jerk driver to pull out to then only pause & go. 2)the windshield wipers. We had gotten 5 to 6 inches of heavy wet snow. I took my little sweeper & swept off all of the windshield around the wipers, side windows & back window. I got back in the car and turned the wipers on to clean the windshield more clearly, this knocked some snow down where the wiper rests & the wipers wouldn't move. It's as though they couldn't go down and reset themselves, so they wouldn't come back up. I got out & cleaned around the base of the windshield again. There was some snow on top of my car when i left my home that i was too short to reach. Stopping at the stop light caused some of the snow to fall forward on my windshield. I turned the wipers on and they pushed most of it off, but when they couldn't go all the way back down they were unable to swipe again. They kept trying but they didn't go all the way down to reset they were stuck. Since there was still snow blocking my vision, i got out at stoplight & swept snow off my windshield & base of wipers. Light was now green so i quickly jumped in to go, my car lurched (see #1) & more snow fell forward. Same scenario, vision blocked.

Somebody has finally died over this defect, now will something be done about it? I have owned 2 hyundai santafe's a 2013 and now a 2015. The headlamp system on both cars, using halogen lamps, is inferior, unacceptable, for volvo, deadly. This problem is not limited to the hyundai car brand, but many brands using similar projector halogen headlamp systems. Driving anywhere in like equipped vehicles the low beam headlamps fail to provide enough light ahead of the vehicle to avoid an obstacle coming out of the shadows. Case in point, the uber volvo pedestrian accident. Having driven professionally over 2.5 million miles in my lifetime, my experience with this projector technology, it is my professional opinion the accident could not have been avoided. Because the lamp system on the volvo, my two hyundai's, fail to provide adequate lighting allowing the driver to see, and avoid, obstacles. I am attaching screen shots of a 7 second video related to the uber accident. Just over 3 seconds in, with a little over 1 second to react, the pedestrian is barely visible. The headlamps only illuminate to the end of the 2nd white stripe, on the left, in front of the volvo. The same is true of both hyundai's i have owned with a similar headlamp system. Studies have shown, with out any doubt, it takes a little over 2 seconds for a human to react, under ideal situations, to a unanticipated see and avoid driving event. In this exemplar the driver had barely more than 1 second to react, once his brain processed things, and then told his extremities to do something. Therefore, due to inadequate lighting, this accident in no way was avoidable, now somebody is dead, and you do nothing. I have looked for a way to illustrate this dangerous issue, this defines it in spades. Finally if the volvo had the hid, or led lamps, for the defect to exist there, is more appalling.

My hyundai is 3 years old with 70,000 miles on it , i've maintained the vehicle according to manufacturerers suggestions . The car had no check engine light on or warnings that something was wrong and the next day i start my car and it's making a very loud ticking noise while driving and slowly losing power until it eventually stalled out . I was able to get the vehicle to my mechanic to have it scanned , the scan showed the exhaust solenoid has failed and the timing was advanced , again this happened from the car running perfectly fine one day to the engine shutting down the next . So the mechanic took the solenoids out and found metal shavings covering them . I've since read numerous complaints about thie type of engine in this vehicle the theta 11 gdi 2.0t , which has beeen recalled 2011-2014 models . This is very disheartening to hear that with a car that is 3 years old my engine is now blown and needs to be replaced at my cost , i still owe a lot of money on this car . I've read that hyundai knows these engines are faulty for having metal shavings in the chambers but yet they're still putting them in brand new vehicles , now i am stuck with a lemon basically and have to shell out 6 grand for another engine that this could possibly happen again before it's paid off . This clearly is a manufacturer issue not the owners

Theta || gdi 2.0 was running perfectly normal one day no warning lights or messages were displayed besides my tire pressure light . I was driving about 30 miles an hour on flat paved road when the engine started making a knocking/ ticking noise very loudly , the check engine light then came on , i turned the car around to head back home which i was only 4 miles away , the car was losing power to the engine as i kept driving to make it home , i made it to the hill i live on which is steep and tried to go a little faster but the car wouldn't go over 20 mph at this point and the noise is becoming louder and louder . I made it to my drive when the engine shut down . I turned the key off for about a minute and then tried starting it up again , it wouldn't. Turn over and made a loud clunk . I did try having the vehicle repaired as i was told the trouble code it was displaying were P0014 and P0024 , my mechanic diagnosed this as the engine timing solenoids needing to be replaced and the camshaft timing being advanced , i went ahead with the new solenoids and a complete oil change due to there being metal shavings in the oil and on the solenoids . After the repairs were complete it was test driven by the mechanic and the engine shut down once again, the brand new solenoids and oil all had been contaminated with metal shavings . I was then advised that the engine needs to be replaced at my expense as it is out of warranty. I now have a car with an outstanding balance that doesn't run and a very high mechanic bill and nothing to show for it. I will not be purchasing a replacement engine out of pocket as this is a faulty engine

I was on ground floor of a parking garage and already in the parking spot---i had my brake on and was actually ready to shift the vehicle into "park". There was a sudden reving of the engine and the car began to move forward at a high rate of speed through a steel lattice work barrier and through a flower bed into an extremely wet surface. I hit the brake as hard as possible and believe that the brake finally held. The left front tire became mired down in approximately 12-14 inches of mud. I believe the combination of the mud and the brake caused the vehicle to actually stop. No airbags deployed during this accident. Both sides of the car were damaged from the front fender to the rear fender, including 1 headlight unit, and the outside mirror on the driver's door (i do not know for certain if the other outside mirror was damaged). I looked up "sudden unintended acceleration" online and it is looking more and more like the throttle position sensor (tps) may have been the cause of this accident. I do have a police report and pictures but cannot scan them as i have on capability to do so. No other vehicle and no other individuals were involved. We had a wrecking company come to pull the car out and take to an auto body shop for estimate and possible repair. The estimate that was given to the police officer for the actual property damages (steel lattice work replacement and lawn repair) was listed as $5000. It is unknown at this point whether there was any damage to the undercarriage of the vehicle as a result of going over the large concrete block that was in front of the parking spot.

On two separate occasions while driving on the highway, call lost power and would not operate in a normal fashion. Rpm gauge was highly erratic and pushing the accelerator to the floor did not result in increased speed. The first time i took it in, they said nothing was wrong with it. The 2nd time i had to have it towed, as it would no longer start. That time they told me it was a catastrophic engine failure caused by a spark plug.

My vehicle has the 2.0 turbo engine, purchased new, and since about 10,000 miles the engine/transmission has been sluggish in accelerating smoothly. Sometimes there seems to be a delay in accelerating even after the gas pedal is depressed, and then the acceleration is not smooth. It is most noticeable when needing to accelerate on an on ramp to highway or stop light and up to the 55 mph speed limit.

For a week (july 4-11, 2015) i rented a santa fe sport suv from national at hobby airport in houston, tx. Only after driving it during the week did i discover the worst problem with this car ' it had a predominant tendency to hesitate when accelerating from a stop, especially when a left or right turn was to be executed at the same time. This was a very dangerous situation, with a real possibility of being struck by oncoming traffic.

Getting ready to leave a restaurant after business dinner, reached for seat belt and it was not attached to the car. The bolt was completed dislodged, and the seat belt was just hanging there. This is a big concern because i could have been driving the vehicle earlier that day or possibly for weeks with a faulty self belt, giving me a false sense of security. The dealership wanted either us or a dealer representative to drive the vehicle to be fixed. We said absolutely not, it needs to be towed. Seems to me they don't understand that you cant drive a vehicle without a working seat belt. All hyundai santa fe vehicles should have the seat belts checked. *tr

Vehicle requires constant minor steering corrections to maintain a straight line. Vehicle wanders on the highway and seems to over adjust so that a slight steering adjustment to the right requires a slight correction to the left and on and on. Impossible to hold a straight line.
