  • Recall 2017468 [Canada]: Engine
    On certain vehicles equipped with 3.3 litre engines, the crankshaft may have pin surface irregularities. This could lead to premature crankshaft and/or engine bearing wear.

Vehicle has 57,000 miles, i was driving down the highway and the engine lost power and would not accelerate over 40. I stopped at gas station and filled up. When i started the car again it seemed ok, got back on the expressway and heard a loud noise and engine stopped. Had vehicle towed to dealership and they said the engine is blown and it needs a new engine. Only has 57,000 miles so should be under warranty. Dealer gave me a loaner and i drove home..Car died in michigan, they towed the car to greenbay wisconsin to the nearest dealer, and i live in chicago. The dealer called a few days later and asked for all oil change documentation.. Most of it was in glove box which they found, had oil changed at hyundai dealer in illinois in march of 2020 right as pandemic started , car had 45,383 miles at that time. Dealer did not use synthetic oil according to receipt which is strange because manufacturer requires synthetic. Could not a more recent receipt but did have oil change one more time about 6 months later, again during pandemic. Dealer said that oil looked sludgey and they denied the warranty claim for the car. They billed hyundai 18,000 to put a new engine in my vehicle and hyundai denied the claim. Dealer said he would put a used engine in the vehicle for $7,920.00 with a 1 yr warranty. We declined and the dealership said they would now charge us for the tow and 30.00 a day for use of the loaner. We live 200 miles from the dealership. They asked us to return the vehicle or they could come pick it up, the car is close to the mileage that they cannot sell it as a new car and want to keep mileage down. They told us on feb 5 that the could not come and get it until feb 10 and that they would bill us 150.00 for 5 days it would take them to pick up the car. We see that there have been many engine recalls on hyundai and we think ours probably have same issues.

I have taken my car in 4 or more times because there is a slip in the transmission and the car is not shifting properly. This was bought in 2017 with 150 miles, the first occupancy happened within months. I have been told my engine was sensitive and not to let others drive it, turn off the car, or the dealership has been unable to duplicate the error. I took my car in in november 2020 and after a few weeks in the shop, they were finally able to 'find' the issue. I got my car back with a remanufactured transmission, mid-december. The drive home was okay, but since then the issue occurs more frequently. Coming to a stop, the rpms jump, turning, the rpms jump. I am unable to drive 3/4 mile down the road without my car jerking and jolting. This car is not safe. Several customers have complained of the same issue in the past years and even a lawsuit was brought up, but then was dismissed. My car value has dropped almost 50% because of this issue. I am without a car, still paying for my lease, and insurance on a car that does not serve its proper function.

I have had on at least a half dozen times where the vehicle will not accelerate after stopping, and then attempting to accelerate. For example: leaving a parking lot going onto a roadway attempting to accelerate quickly to get up to the speed limit. Attempting to turn left at a flashing red left turn lane traffic light. The vehicle will roll about 10-20', but will not accelerate, like the transmission is not engaging. Sometimes the engine will rev to 4000-5000rpms. I will quickly let off of the throttle, then it will take off. The engine does not rev every time. The dealership replaced a module on the transmission approximately one year ago, but it did not help. They had it for one day in july 2020, attempting to replicate the problem, but to no avail. The most recent incident with the vehicle where this failure to accelerate occurred was 12/26/2020, where upon leaving a service station onto a four lane road, it once again rolled to 10-15 mph, but would not go while the engine rpms went to 4000. As traffic was rapidly approaching i kept my foot on the throttle, and it finally started picking up speed. This is getting to be a dangerous vehicle to drive.

I have had on at least a half dozen times where the vehicle will not accelerate after stopping, and then attempting to accelerate. For example: leaving a parking lot going onto a roadway attempting to accelerate quickly to get up to the speed limit. Attempting to turn left at a flashing red left turn lane traffic light. The vehicle will roll about 10-20', but will not accelerate, like the transmission is not engaging. Sometimes the engine will rev to 4000-5000rpms. I will quickly let off of the throttle, then it will take off. The engine does not rev every time.

I was driving on the expressway and my oil light indicator light came on in the car and went off after i got off the expressway pulled over at a gas station. So i started driving again and again the oil light comes on so i recorded it on my cell phone.I just had my oil changed a week prior to this. Took my vehicle back to the hyundai dealership in matteson illinois where i purchased the vehicle from. And get all my oil changes done on the vehicle. They checked out my vehicle and said that they didn't get the coming on when they took my car on a test drive. So i show the mechanic the video i recorded on my phone. He looks at the video and says to me well if the oil light comes back on bring the vehicle back. And tells me the vehicle is ok to drive as it is. Two days later i'm running an arron in traffic on a busy city street and as i'm driving my car starts jerking and stalling and a flashing engine light on the dash board i put my hazard lights on and pull over to the side of the road. Called hyundai service department. Because i was close by the dealership the service personnel told me to drive the my car to the dealership so i did. They told me my engine had to be replaced. For the second time mind you. 1st time was a year prior. So they kept my car for a week and 2days. Get my car back a week later i'm driving on my way to work and the flashing check engine light comes on again. So i take it back to the dealership and they said it was the knock sensor that needed to be replaced this time. They repair it the same day. Mean while waiting i find an video on you tube about the very problem i was having with my vehicle. But it's from the hyundai manufactures about the 2014-2018 santa fe ,sonata and tuson vehicle about known malfunctions and problems these vehicles are having and would have. So i don't understand why these are not recalls. Now again yesterday 1/16/21

My vehicle will periodically stall when at a complete stop. Vin does not show recalls, but there are recalls for other 2017 santa fe vehicles with the same issue. My vehicle was made in 2017,the recall was in november 2017; therefore i do not understand why my vin is not showing that a recall is warranted as the parts would have been used to make it. This can literally increase the risk of a crash. I will also be contacting hyundai customer service.

The v6 2017 santa fe suv is advertised in many car magazines and by hyundai to tow 5,000. Lbs. I told the sales manager the specs of my camper. He said it would not have a problem towing my camper that weighs 3,200. I said if you get it prepared for towing, meaning, hitch, brake box and wire for lights, i will buy it. The deal was made. I towed a few times then had a bad shaking in the rear. The service manager tried to tell me i was towing too much weight. Impossible. It's just me and a small dog. I argued with allen turner hyundai in pensacola, fl and the corporate office. They believed what the dealership said. I told them i can go weigh it all on dot scales to prove it. So they ended up fixing it that time. I didn't tow for awhile because of covid. The first time i did, on the way home it started shaking. I go to the dealer. He told me the right rear passenger tire was separating inside. It would need alignment and struts. They were not going to pay for it even with the car with low miles still under warranty. They offered me something off their used lot. Which i considered if it had the safety features that i originally bought on my santa fe. No, they offered a basic small truck. I'm older and i have gotten used to the safety features. The salesman talked down to me, tried to intimidate me and practically called me stupid. I was supposed to see the service manager but he dismissed me . I've bought three cars from this dealer using the same salesman. Then when i have a problem they treat me like this. I have testimonies from other camper trailer haulers with the same car that even tow a higher weight camper. They have not had any problems. I will attach photos of theirs also. Thank you [xxx] when i'm towing it all sounds good and works good. I wouldn't know the camper was back there.

While driving my 2017 hyundai santa fe sport 2.0t to enter the freeway, the car would not accelerate normally. It started to shake and felt like the engine was "misfiring" after several minutes, i was able to get up to 60mph. I tried taking my foot off of the accelerator and pressing it again but it would only lose speed and then i'd have to work my way up to 60 mph. I was travelling straight and on a flat road. Engine light would come on when foot was on accelerator, then it went off. Once i was off the freeway and tried to make a right turn from a stop, car wouldn't accelerate going up the incline and the car behind me almost hit my tail end. Finally,i turned left to go up the hill toward my house, i could only get up to 15 mph but rpms were between 3500-4000. Luckily there was no traffic behind me but i was afraid i wasn't going to make it up the street or that some car would come up behind me and my car would stop. In order for a car to be safe it needs to be reliable in acceleration as much as braking and steering! I have an appointment at the dealership day after tomorrow.

During acceleration from a stop sign/red light or turning the engine hesitates for approximately 5 seconds after several tries before reaching desired speed. When using cruise control on freeways there is a 10 to 15 second delay when accelerating or passing another vehicle which in one instance caused a near accident on a high speed freeway. My vehicle slowed down causing other vehicles go around me passing from the right side lane. These hesitations have caused me several near accidents and makes me not feel confident when driving this car. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership on many occasions and they report no error codes show up and, the mechanic cannot duplicate the problem. However, the dealer replaced the transmission earlier this year. There has been no improvement. I have reviewed many other complaints of this hesitation problem. Will it take death reports to help us owners? My issue began in 2018 right after purchase and the problem is occurring more often now. No help is in sight when hyundai and the dealership refuses to admit the problem and makes me and other owners feel like we don't know our vehicles or our own minds!! We need help before a death occurs not after!!

Vehicle loses all electrical power, despite having a new battery installed by dealer. Battery runs down, sometimes overnight. Dealer cannot find any issues, though something clearly is draining battery power very quickly. It has happened at least 5 times in the past 3 months.

Let me say my hyundai santa fe limited ultimate 3.3l awd is a very good and reliable vehicle never had any issues or problems. Always kept it maintained. Well about a month ago i happen to start my hyundai with the door open and i heard a sound just for a few seconds. The sound of a engine low on oil what could not believe it, it can't be. So i checked it and sure enough it needed oil, dumbfounded no oil puddles anywhere on the ground i was kinda in shock this has never happened didn't need to worry about that its never leaked oil and none of the gentlemen that changes the oil never said anything oil about the oil being low or oil on the engine. So i found out what kinda of oil it took and put about 3 1/2 quarters. Ok all better but still wondering how that happend just recently had the oil changed. Well the next morning i had to drive to san diego from long beach checked oil ok no problem all good. So im on the freeway driving throu oceanside camp pendleton and was getting hungry so the first exit after driving through oceanside i was going to stop and get something mind you no lights no smells no smoke. So i started to exit still everything just fine and when i slowed down coming to the light the engine stalled again no smoke no lights no smells. I was very suprised i tried to start it and nothing tried again and nothing. So i called aaa they looked at it and didn't see anything wrong but would not start. So i had them take it on a flat bed to hyundai harbor off of cherry where it sits now. They looked at it and said the engine has seized up it will not rotate. Took oil pan off and found metal pieces and said the bearings went bad in turn burning up the oil and seized the engine. That pretty much it so is their anything that can be done to help me. I still owe around $19,000 on it and dont know what to do i'm glad i found that little article because i need help.

I was very suprised i tried to start it and nothing tried again and nothing. So i called aaa they looked at it and didn't see anything wrong but would not start. So i had them take it on a flat bed to hyundai harbor off of cherry where it sits now. They looked at it and said the engine has seized up it will not rotate. Took oil pan off and found metal pieces and said the bearings went bad in turn burning up the oil and seized the engine. That pretty much it so is their anything that can be done to help me. I still owe around $19,000 on it and dont know what to do i'm glad i found that little article because i need help.

Ok from the start first let me state ive never had any problems what so ever with my 2017 hyundai santa fe limited ultimate 3.3l awd none nothing so this was very strange because ive always maintained the vehicle oil changes every 3000 miles everything. So here we go one afternoon about a month ago i just happened to start my hyundai with the door open and when i started it i heard a sound for like 2 seconds. The sound of an engine that was low of oil that tap tap tap i really could not believe that i just heard that i mean really could not believe it, it doesn't leak anything its never did that before. When i get the oil changed they don't say it was low on oil so i'm very dumbfounded at this point theirs no oil on the ground were it gets parked so i don't know why it did that. So i check the oil and sure enough it's low so i find out what kind of oil it takes and put 1 and then 2 and finally 3 kinda woundering and kinda in shock so to speak. Well the next day i checked the oil and it was still were itvshould be and had to drive to san diego from long beach were i live and it's not the first time i've made this drive mind you. So im off no lights on dash no smells no noises o smoke thinking cool so after passing throu oceanside i thought i'd get something to eat so i decided to take the first exit after oceanside camp pendleton so i get off and before i stop for the light the vehicle stalls what the this has never happened before not thinking anything bad because again no lights on dash no noses no smells no smoke no nothing. So i tried to start it and nothing try again and nothing lights on but does not want turn over. I have no idea what's going on because no lights on the dash came on theirs no smoke no loud noises or anything before it stalls just nice and quiet no smells nothing just the car getting real quiet. Well i tried a couple more times best regards eric

I own a hyundai 2017 santa fe. I, my husband, and my daughter are experiencing (from the time of purchase & reported to the hyundai dealer) a serious & dangerous lag with acceleration. This has happened numerous times, the car hesitates badly when coming out of turns and attempting to accelerate...Just short of coming to a stop. It is very dangerous when pulling into traffic and appears to be getting more frequent. I have found several forums reporting the same issues. Will hyundai fix this issue?

My 2018 hyundai sante fe was purchase 'certified' used from puente hills hyundai in southern california. About a year into owning my car it began to jerk and felt like i went over a hard bump when i would accelerate from a stop and then began doing it while i would drive up hills. Puente hills hyundai informed me there was a recall and that the recall would 'solve' the issue. After i got my car back, a few weeks later it started again. But happened less often then before. I recently took my car in and was told that puente hills hyundai was able to recreate the jerking and would call the extended warranty company to have them come confirm the issue. When the warranty company finally came out, they unsuccessfully recreating the jerking sound and told hyundai my car is 'safe' to drive and nothing is wrong with it. Hyundai tried to tell me to take the car back since there is nothing they can do to fix the issue since the warranty company said it was 'safe'. I refused to take it back due my safety and the safety of my unborn child and was told they would keep it again to see if they can recreate the jerking and then contact hyundai directly to see if they'll come check it out. But wasn't guaranteed that they would fix and or be able to solve the issue. I have checked online and seen that several people owning this same make and model have similar complaints and have complained to you guys and was hoping that my complaint will be honored more than it has been at this dealership. The jerking motion happened when backing out of my drive way, accelerating from a stop sign, driving on the freeway, going up hill, or backing out of a parking stop and moving back into drive.

On the interstate, pressed the gas pedal and the vehicle did not and would not accelerate. I tried multiple times. Rpm went up to 5000 but shifting the transmission into sports mode and downshifting and upshifting made no difference in the speed of the vehicle. Speed remained the same, engine roared as if in neutral. I pulled off the interstate, cut off the vehicle for several minutes, restarted the vehicle, returned to the interstate and could accelerate. This happened multiple times in 2017 and 2018 both on the highway and city streets. In 2018, taken to pearson hyundai and could not be fixed because no error codes. After a dangerous, identical incident on the interstate in may 2019, taken to pearson hyundai. They performed a tcu and ecu software update may 21, 2019. This latest incident is a repeat of the may 2019 problem. The problem is random and unpredictable but occurs on both highway and street speeds. The inability to accelerate without warning will eventually cause an accident. We also own a 2016 santa fe sport turbo awd that has not had any of these acceleration problems. Changes were made in the 2017 model year to the engine and transmission that are impacting acceleration.

While driving (vehicle in motion) the steering wheel seems to stick requiring me to exert extra force to "break" it loose in order to keep the car traveling in a straight line. I know it isn't mechanical stearing like i'm used to but the servo motor seems to prevent me from turning the wheel when i need to correct. I continuously have to overcorrect for the sticking/notchy steering. Very annoying and tiring and could be a safety hazard under the right conditions. Found several other owners on this site who is having the exact same problem. I totally agree that there is definitely something wrong with this electronic drive-by-wire steering mechanism. Like others have said, please let hyundai know that there is a problem here. I notice this mostly while driving in city traffic. I have owned this vehicle for over two years and i'm experiencing the steering issue more and more now. If most drivers are not truly paying attention to there driving and this sticking this will lead to crashes and deaths.

When the vehicle is stopped, and when starting to accelerate, there are times when i'll experience a 1-2 second delay or hesitation, before the engine/transmission engage. This seems to occur mostly when the wheels are in a turned position. It can be a frightening experience at an intersection, with no power. This has occurred approximately a dozen times.

Notchy steering, feels like the steering wheel sticks, requiring you to use additional force to turn the wheel. This causes over-correcting with the potential to swerving into other lanes or off the road.

There has been some engine noise for 2 months or so. . I then had an oil leak and the dealer said that the engine noise was from crankshaft and maybe a bearing inside. I have 74, 000 miles on vehicle and have a 10 year 125000 mile extended warranty. I was at the dealer today and they gave me the news about maybe crankshaft bearing. The hyundai motor company has a recall on your site about 2017 hyundai santa fe having defect in a pin in the crankshaft that wears the bearing. This seems like exactly what dealer is telling me. My question is , the recall says that hyundai motor company recalled 420 2017 hyundai santa fe's that were produced between january 26 2017 and february 13 2017. My santa fe was actually produced on january 14 2017, which is only 12 days prior to the start of the official recall production date of january 26. How does hyundai motor company know that my vehicle was not produced with this faulty pin in the crankshaft that causes bearing failure? Thank you very much for this website and i hope someone can enlighten me as to what i may be able to do right now.

On dec 5, 2019 at 7:50 am, i was stopped at a red light waiting to turn west at a city intersection. When the light turned green, i accelerated and drove towards the middle of the intersection. There was no oncoming traffic, so i continued and was about to make a left turn when i got hit by 2018 ford escape. The driver ran the red light and hit my vehicle in the front drivers side quarter panel, causing visible damage to my fender, wheel, panel and bumper (more damage will be determined by insurance adjuster). The impact was so hard that it moved my car, pushing the front end of my car towards east of the intersection. I had my two children and my dog in the car. The airbags did not deploy, at all. The other vehicle hit us head on and their airbags did deploy. My head and upper body slammed into the drivers side window. Everyone in my car had their seatbelt on and my dog was tied, by his leash, to an anchor in the back. The impact to my head was so hard, i went to the er and they did a ct scan to make sure there were no fractures or bleeding. I was diagnosed with a concussion due to the impact. I am attaching photos of the scene and the damage to my vehicle.

I purchased a used 2017 santa fe awd on 11/06/2019. The car failed to start on the first attempt at a gas station -- the first time it has happened after purchasing the car. It started on the second attempt, the car drove smoothly to the dmv for registration. About 1-2 hours of driving, the car stalled in town despite accelerating with rpms greater 3. The car became responsive only after stopping and restarting at the curb. I noticed a steady check engine light on the dashboard for the first time after the incident and have been having a jerky ride experience ever since. A call to bluelink confirmed that the car requires a thorough system check involving the power train at the dealership. An appointment has been for 12/4/2019 and the car has been parked.

Well, at just over 62k miles, it came back on this morning. A quick google search indicates it is a known problem across hyundai's entire fleet of vehicles. How has this not already been addressed?!

While turning right out of a parking lot onto a two lane road, the vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating for 3-5 seconds as a truck was bearing down on us. The position of the gas pedal made no difference. The engine was running at an idle with zero response from pedal input. When it did finally accelerate, it lurched forward as the pedal was pressed to the floor. We are also experiencing what could be described as a shudder when decelerating to a stop. It typically seems to occur between 20-12 mph. It feels as if the engine is stumbling or it is having trouble downshifting smoothly.

I was in sport mode and vehicle accelerated and almost stopped. Luckily no accident occurred, i had my 17 month kid and my wife in the car. Car after that gave check engine light warning and it would not accelerate. I changed to eco mode and then it slowly started to accelerate, but at about 20 miles an hour it jerked again, but i pressed accelerate hard and it sustained speed. But it wont go over 65 miles an hour. I slowly made it home. But i tried to drive again and same issue. Called hyundai customer support and they refused to rochester as it is 46 miles and they only support 20 miles or less tow. My car is still under manufacture warranty and yet worst service. I almost got killed today with my 17 month toddler

I had several friends read the manual and they couldn't find any information to fix this either. I went to the dealer and have it fixed and they said there is no fix for this. The second time i came to the dealer, the technician ordered the whole head unit and they said i have to wait for the order. It's about 4-5 weeks now and i still haven't heard anything.

I have to access my fitbit to get the time which requires squeezing the sides of it and sometimes scrolling it. Not suppose to use your cell phone for safety, but messing with my fitbit under my jacket is just as bad. Why weren't we notified. Google shows people have been complaining about this problem for some time now. I'm a senior citizen and may not be using correct terms for the gps stuff. It is a safety issue when your eyes aren't on the road as they should be and messing with your fitbit. Yes i can invest in a watch again, but why should i have to do this?

Currently 42k miles, "sticky steering wheel" or "zig-zag" problem started about 10k miles ago. Dealer service techs i've dealt with seem to have never heard of this problem. After verifying that my daughter was really experiencing the zig-zag problem, i lifted the front of her car so that both front wheels were off the ground. With the engine not running, slowly turning the steering wheel right and left would reveal the "sticky" symptom, which is actually at some point the steering wheel hangs for some reason and then it takes increasingly more torque applied to the steering wheel until it breaks free. If this had occurred driving down the road, the result would be a sudden change of direction. This behavior in the steering system should never occur, but should be silky smooth lock to lock. The attached image shows the system from the steering wheel to the bottom of the connecting shaft. I have read reports that the u-joints in the connecting shaft are the problem, or that the mdps (motor driven power steering) unit is the source of the problem. If i were working this problem, i would disconnect the upper u-joint and rerun the steering wheel test. If the hanging problem was still there, then the mdps unit (or perhaps the star shaped coupling within the mdps) should be replaced. Otherwise, the coupling shaft should be inspected for binding of the u-joints. If the joints are sticking, then a replacement shaft is in order. If neither the mdps unit nor coupling shaft are at fault, then the root of the problem must be somewhere below the connecting shaft. This is a serious safety issue that many owners have complained about, and hyundai does not seem to have any desire to acknowledge or to even address the problem.

While in motion the vehicle either brakes or backfires. The jerking motion is so hard that i thought i was hit by another car. The car continues to drive but acceleration rate slows drastically causing near misses as well. The traction control and downhill shifting lights come on and stay on until you turn the engine off and back on. So far this has happened four times in both normal and economy drive modes while traveling on the interstate/highway at speeds between 50 and 70 mph.

There is a few seconds of hesitation when trying to accelerate at times. From a dead stop or a slow roll when turning, the car will move in slow motion only and the anti slip indicator comes on like you are on a slippery surface even when it's dry. Then it accelerates suddenly. We have come close to having several accidents because of this. We have taken our vehicle in over 5 times and the service departments at two dealerships say they cannot replicate it and brush us off. This is a huge issue and needs to be addressed before someone gets killed.

Approximately one year after having the car i began to notice issues. (18000) i have returned to the dealer for multiple repairs. The most significant issue is the toe.

After having the car aligned i will have to take it back within a week or so for another alignment. I travel between houston and austin frequently and this is a huge concern for my safety.

I parked my car parallel to the curb on a city street. I moved the shifter from "drive" to "park". I did not turn off the engine because i was only going to get out for a few seconds to open the door behind me to let some senior citizens to get in the car. I released my seat belt buckle and proceed to open the driver-side car door. As soon as my feet were on the ground and my body was outside of the car, the car started to move in reverse direction. The car was moving fairly quickly because within a split second, i was knocked to the ground by the car door with the left front wheel on top of my left foot. The wheel proceeded to roll over my left ankle, leg, thigh, hip, abdomen, chest, and finally my right upper arm and shoulder joint. The car continued to travel in reverse by jumping the curb onto the side walk and finally stopped by heavy bushes in front of a building. Upon inspection, the shifter had slipped into the "reverse" position. Based on the gradient of the road service with the engine running, the removal of my foot on the brake would have immediately allowed the car to move backward had the shifter was in reverse which would make exiting my whole body out of the car without noticing car movement very unlikely if not impossible, particularly for a 72 year old male who is recovering from an open heart surgery and two brain surgeries. The shifting mechanism and the associated control must be faulty resulting in the "false park" position.

Sticky steering wheel when traveling on straight roadways and highways above 40 mph. I noticed a slight stick to the steering wheel while traveling on the freeway or on a straight road above 40 mph. This problem started at 15,000 miles. The steering wheel tends to stick when trying to track straight which causes me to consistently swerve while trying to correct. We took it to the dealership where they were able to identify the issue as a bad mdps unit (steering column shaft assembly) part#56310-2w840. While at the shop, i decided to do some research on my own and found that this unit has been identified in other makes and models as a bad unit due to a rubber coupler inside the mdps and hyundai has extended the warranty on these parts. I believe that there should be an extended warranty on this part beyond the factory warranty for the 2017 hyundai santa fe. We have owned this car for 1 year 11 mos and it currently has 16261 miles. Notes from dealership tech: " the steering was sticking. The column was at fault internal failure. I was unable to isolate what part of the motor driven steering unit was the root cuase of the sticking. All parts tested good but i still had the issue. I performed a steering wheel calibration and reset the steering feel zero. I redrove the car and noted after driving on a straight level road and 40-60 mph speeds that when i moved the steering left or right that there was a noticable sticking. Before the steering felt like it had assist. I replaced the mdps complete unit reset the tow variant coded and drove the car again"

Have read several complaints with the same problem and can not believe nothing is being done about this. As usual someone has to get killed before this is taken serious.

I am a retired automotive restoration shop owner of 40 years and have had articles written about my shop so i know for a fact that the knock is coming from the rod bearings!

Upon moving after complete stop and turning vehicle to right or left, there is hesitation before there is throttle response. It occurs more often if while initially making a turn and any size bump or pothole is encountered. A very dangerous situation as there is no way to make an avoidance maneuver if necessary since there is no immediate throttle response. The same situation occurs when at slow speeds a pothole or bump is encountered during a turn. Again, dangerous, because without a responsive throttle no avoidance maneuver is possible. N.B. I put today's date because the "field is required". It occurs on a daily basis, nonetheless.

After about 30 minutes of driving at or near highway speeds the steering becomes "sticky" and requires the driver "break" the "stuck" steering wheel and it results in a forced overcorrection that makes the vehicle drift from one side of the lane to the other. This is continuous problem once it begins as constant steering input is required to keep a vehicle in a straight line. At a minimum, it is annoying and exhausting on long trips. The real issue is safety. The forced overcorrection is a serious safety issue on narrow country roads as it will force the vehicle into the oncoming traffic lane or close to the ditch on the right side of the road. The dealer cannot recreate the problem when i take it in because the problem only emerges after about 30 minutes of highway driving. This is a serious safety issue and hyundai needs to address it.

Since i took possession of this car, i have been having repeated occurrences of engine stalling coupled with the traction control light going on. This happens when i make either left or right turns into traffic: acceleration stalls completely for 2-3 seconds, and the traction control warning light flashes. I cannot get the car to accelerate at all, even with the pedal fully depressed to the floor. The engine revs extremely hard, but the car does not accelerate. This happens on completely dry pavement. There is something seriously wrong with the 2017 hyundai santa fe, and someone is going to die as a result of this problem.

The contact continued to be informed by other drivers on the road that the vehicle's rear suspension was unstable. The same dealer further stated that the tires needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not inspected before it was sold to the contact. The dealer advised the contact to take the vehicle to an inspection facility to determine if the tires needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.

While turning left from a stop onto a state highway in northern california all accelerative capability was lost when the vehicle crossed a set of railroad tracks at an estimated 5 mph, mid-way through the turn. The awd vehicle is equipped with a 2.4l normally aspirated engine. The vehicle was in the 'eco' driving mode and the automatic transmission was in the 'd' range. Attempts to add power via the accelerator pedal were met with no increase in engine rpm and, consequently, no increase in vehicle speed. The condition persisted for 10-12 seconds, during which time the vehicle traveled only 75-90 feet with the accelerator pedal nearly 'floored.' there was no shoulder and only one lane in each direction, which precluded moving the vehicle to a place of relative safety. The weather conditions were sunny and clear, and the temperature was 55f. The roadway surface was clean dry, and free of loose material or contaminants. The incident occurred on a tangent section of highway with no grade and a crown slope of approximately 2-percent.

Severe hesitation occurs when trying to accelerate form a stop. Hesitation occurs intermittently and happens when turning right or left. More likely to happen if the road surface that the vehicle is turning on to is rough. The vehicle will begin to accelerate and then lose acceleration. Although pressing the accelerator the car does not speed up even though the engine revs up. After about 3 seconds the vehicle then responds and begins to accelerate. Situation may occur 3 or 4 times a week. This is a safety concern because i have almost been hit from behind because the vehicle slows down without warning.

The santa fe sport was purchased in july of 2017. When taking off from a redlight or while driving at a steady momentum on the road, the acceleration drops significantly and the rpms begin to rev up high, bouncing up and down, but the santa fe sport will stall. While on the highway, the issue continues and panic sents in due to the cars behind us can rear end the santa fe sport. No matter how far or hard the gas pedal is pressed the santa fe sport will stall. All while no "engine light" turns on. Took the santa fe sport for service to the dealer over 6 times between 2017 and 2018 and only an ems part was replaced. The problem continues mostly in very bad traffic, again very concerning for safety. The santa fe sport needs to be turned off and back on in order for the problem to cease. No matter what drive mode it is in (eco; sport; normal) the issue persists. We purchased a brand new 2017 santa fe sport right off the lot which has been paid for and it is unfair that we are still paying what seems like our lives we continue to spend more with gas, tolls, travel and time from work to take the santa fe sport in for service and we do not get refunded for this.

Intermittently the vehicle will hesitate during acceleration from a standing start. It appears related to turbo lag, but to the extreme and is a dangerous safety issue. Most recently, as i went to takeoff i was momentarily stalled in the middle of the street as i was pulling into on-coming traffic. This is just the opposite of what a turbo boost is supposed to provide. This issue is well-documented on the hyundai auto forums and needs to be addressed immediately. Again, this not an inconvenience. It is a safety hazard and hyundai seems unconcerned about solving this issue. Someone is going to die unless you force them to fix this issue.

Purchased car in june 2017 and currently have approx. 5100 miles. When going from a standstill stop or a slow rolling start (exiting a driveway) the acceleration is lacking. Car will go high rpms but no speed. And when attempting to merge onto a road way it has become a safety concern as approaching cars from the rear close what was a safe distance to being on top of the bumper in no time since i can not accelerate. 0-40 can take upwards of 30 seconds with pedal depressed full. Car was taken in for service at dealer in december 2017 and was "corrected". Now the problem has become worse and car will produce problem more freqently and in any driving condition to include being in traffic. The only way i can somewhat correct the issues (and figured it out during trial and error) is to turn the drive mode to sport and turn off traction control. When car is in eco the problem is much more serve and in normal it frequently happens. I do not feel i should have to adjust or turn off systems in a vehicle to make it safe to drive nor should i have a vehicle i can not drive at safe speeds.

Yesterday, while driving the warning light symbols for the esc and dbc came on out of the blue. I was on a local road, no incline or decline, a straight level road with traffic moving at about 30 mph. Immediately the car seemed as though it did not want to go forward. I pulled over and turned the car off and on again and the warning symbols disappeared. I continued home and parked the car. While in park, the two warning symbols illuminated again with an additional warning of mil. The vehicle is still in park and a message comes across the console that there is something possibly wrong with the transmission and the vehicle could lose power. I turned it off and on again and on the 3rd try, the warning symbols disappeared. I took it to the hyundai dealer this afternoon for service and on the invoice it stated that an inhibitor switch was installed / recall completed.

When turning from a dead stop the anti slip light comes on when this occurs, this has happened during dry weather. This occurs most frequently in either eco or regular driving mode, not so much with sport mode. I don't like driving in sport mode too much as it wastes fuel.

This vehicle has dangerous hesitation issues at lower speeds. I drive in heavy slow traffic frequently and changing lanes or accelerating at lower speeds is dangerous and i fear an accident could easily happen. When travelling at speeds below 20mph and there is need to accelerate to change lanes, the vehicle hesitates when the gas is applied. It can be for 3 or 4 seconds before the vehicle actually accelerates, by this time, the cars coming up in the lane i'm moving into, have to slow down to avoid hitting me. I've had it to the dealer and they say nothing is wrong and suggested that i try using a different driving mode, which i did with the same result. This happens everyday under the same circumstances and has since i bought the car. It's an on-going problem. The dealer is obviously playing dumb with regards to the issue, because there is no shortage of comments on the internet, all stating the same issue.
