2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Complaints

SEVERE HESITATION WHEN COMING OUT OF A SHARP TURN. ALSO HAPPENS UPON ACCELERATION AFTER A TRAFFIC LIGHT. HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AS TIME GOES ON CURRENTLY 13K MILES ON VEHICLE. HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY DRIVING TRIP BUT PUT TODAYS DATE ON IT AS IT HAPPENED LAST TODAY 8/1/18.

THIS IS THE THIRD OCCASSION WHERE MY 2017 SANTA FE WILL NOT START. WHEN I TURN THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION THERE IS NO SOUND AT ALL, NO ELECTRICITY IS BEING SENT TO START THE ENGINE. HOWEVER, ALL MY LIGHTS AND RADIO FUNTIONS WORK JUST FINE. AFTER A WHILE THE IT WILL WORK AGAIN. MY BATTERY HAS BEEN TESTED AND SHOWN TO BE WORKING FINE. I LEAVE NO INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AND CANT FIGURE OUT WHAT CHANGES TO MAKE IT START WORKING .

FAILURE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP POSITION. PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO THE OFF RAMP. CAME TO A STOP THEN TRIED TO TURN LEFT. VEHICLE BARELY MOVED AND HAD TO ACCELERATE TO OVER 2500 RPM AND SEVERAL SECONDS LATER TO GET THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVING. PULLED OFF THE ROAD, PUT THE VEHICLE INTO MANUAL SHIFT MODE TO FIND THE TRANSMISSION IS LOCKED INTO 4TH GEAR AND CANNOT BE DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO BE LOCKED INTO 4TH GEAR AFTER EACH STOP. TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING TEMPORARILY CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. POTENTIAL MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE NOW WITH DEALER TO RESOLVE

VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES SIMILAR TO A LOW OR DEAD BATTERY. WILL ONLY START WHEN IT WANTS. USUALLY HAPPENS AT FIRST START OF THE DAY OR LATE AFTERNOON. PUTTING VEHICLE IN DRIVE IS HARDER THAN NORMAL. TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTS HAVE HARD JERKING FEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. VISION HYUNDAI HENRIETTA ROCHESTER (2525 W HENRIETTA RD, ROCHESTER, NY 14623, (585) 292-0500) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ACCELERATION PROBLEM. SOME TIMES TURNING LEFT EITHER FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR A SLOW TURN WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS IT TAKES OFF AND THEN HESITATE FOR FEW SECONDS AND THEN TAKES OF. IT IS SO SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE TRAFFIC COMING TOWARDS YOU. NOW IT IS STARTING TO DO IT MORE AND NOW ITS DOING IT WHEN I TURN RIGHT. 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.

2017 HYUNDAI SANTE FE SE, WHEN FIRST PURCHASED I FELT HESITATION, ACCORDING TO DEALER THEY WAS A UPDATE FOR THE COMPUTER, I TOOK IT IN FOR UPDATE WHICH ACTUALLY DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. AT TIMES WHEN GETTING IN VEHICLE TO DRIVE OFF AND PUT IN GEAR IT WOULD NOT MOVE. TOOK TO DEALER FOR SERVICE TECH DROVE CAR HOME AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUES. AFTER THAT I STOPPED USING VEHICLE. I SENT HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS A COMPLAINT AND THEY BRUSHED IT OFF. SINCE I DIDNT BUY THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER I TOOK FOR SERVICE THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A LONER. SUSPENSION HAS A DEFECT CHANGED TIRES AT 15000 MILES DUE TO HUMMING FROM REAR, HAD VEHICLE ALIGNED AND NEW TIRES 6 MONTHS LATER TIRES ARE WORN HYUNDAI HAS SUSPENSION ISSUES. LAST, SO FAR IS ENGINE KNOCKS WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. ITS A SHAME THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON VEHICLE THAT DONT SERVE OUR NEEDS AND HYUNDAI DOES NOT CARE BUT TO HAVE THERE PAYMENTS ON TIME. I CONTACTED MY ATTORNEY, PLANNING TO DROP OFF AT DEALER AND RETURN TO HYUNDAI SO THE FINANCE COMPANY CAN TAKE IT BACK EITHER I GET MY ISSUES FIXED JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE SHOULD OR I STOP PAYING AND TAKE IT BACK. IF YOU ANYBODY THAT IS INTERESTED IN BUYING A HYUNDAI VEHICLE LIKE OURS SEND THEM ELSEWHERE.

A ROCK KICKED UP WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ON A CITY STREET AND HIT UNDERCARRIAGE, DAMAGING THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. THIS IS A SPORTS UTILITY TRUCK, ADVERTISED AND MARKETED TO HANDLE OFF ROAD CONDITIONS. POOR DESIGN IN LACK OF PROTECTIVE METAL PLATE BARRIER AROUND THE CANISTER HAS LEAD TO AN EASY PUNCTURE AND DAMAGE TO EVAC COMPONENT AND EXPENSIVE COST FOR REPLACEMENT WITH NO PART WARRANTY.

ACCELERATION ISSUES. ON AT LEAST TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, ACCELERATION FROM A STOP RESULTED IN THE CAR STAYING AT THE SAME SPEED. HAD TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND REAPPLY SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT MOVING. NORMALLY, APPLYING THROTTLE PUSHES INDIVIDUALS BACK ON THEIR SEATS. CAR WAS TAKEN TO LAUREL HYUNDAI AND PER THE TECHS "UNABLE TO REPLICATE CUSTOMERS CONCERN ON ROAD TEST, NO CODES STORED OR PRESENT IN SYSTEM, NO TAB'S FOR CONCERN FOUND". LOOKING AT GETTING RID OF THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
