2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Complaints

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.

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.

WHEN GOING SLOW AROUND CORNERS AND GIVING THE CAR GAS THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE GIVING IT GAS THE CAR ACCELERATES VERY FAST. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT IT HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT SLOW SPEEDS ONLY.

OIL IS VANISHING FROM THE VEHICLE. FOR EVERY 1000 MILES THERE IS A PINT OF OIL MISSING FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE HYUNDAI MUTIPLE TIMES. HYUNDAI CAN NOT FIND ANY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS CONCERING BECUASE THE VEHICLE CAN BREAK DOWN ON A LONG ROAD TRIP WITHOUT CONSANT OIL CHECKS AND REFILLING DURING THE TRIP. HYUNDAI HAS YET TO REPLACE THE MOTOR OR RESOLVE THE ISSUE. NO OIL LEAK LOCATED IT APPEARS THE OIL IS JUST GOING MISSING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

THERE IS A LEAK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE COMING FROM UNKNOWN DEFECT. EVERY TIME IT RAINS, WATER DRIPS FROM UNDER THE DASH TO THE FLOOR CLOSE TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR.

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.
