2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Complaints

While driving at a moderate speed suddenly my car accelerated a high rate of speed. As the motor accelerated I heard a very loud bang like metal . I applied the brakes but the car did not slow down, suddenly the car slowed down to the point that I thought the brakes had locked up. Parked the car and when I restarted the car, at a very slow speed I drove home. Mechanic took car and with his dianostic equipment the code for transmission problem was revealed. As a result I had the transmission replaced. Replacement of transmission has not taken care of acceleration problem and as a result because of it being a safety problem the car is only used for local use.

Oilfilter cap leaks all over transmission and won't stay sealed all cleaned and put new stuff still a puddle on the the tranny had to Bondo my filter cap she runs poorly when it's not sealed but it's tight

The driver seat belt locking mechanism has failed. I tried to replace it with OEM manufacturer parts but have been told by Hyundai that the part is not available, it is on back order but will be discontinued before backorder is fulfilled. My question is how can you discontinue manufacturering a part which is mandated by every licensing state? I have filed a complaint with Hyundai but they have ignored my attempts to resolve this. I need help to return my vehicle to safety standards.

The vehicle, (2007 Hyundai Santa Fe in excellent condition) struck a cow head on at 60 miles per hour and the airbags failed to deploy. It is available on request for a few months. The three occupants of the vehicle suffered from banging around inside. Concussion and sore muscles a few minor cuts but were otherwise very lucky. There was no prior indication of a problem with the airbags.

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET THE ABS, BRAKE AND ESC LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF, THERE WAS ALSO A BUZZING SOUND GOING ON.TOOK THE CAR HOME AND TURNED IT OFF AND THE SENSOR FROM THAT UNIT STAYED ON MAKING A BUZZING SOUND EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF.

ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE FUEL NEEDLE STAYS ON EMPTY AFTER THE TANK IS FULL.

THE VALVE COVER GASKET FAILED AFTER BEING REPLACED UNDER A PREVIOUS RECALL IN THE SAME MANNER AND OIL LEAKS DIRECTLY INTO THE ALTERNATOR CAUSING IT TO ULTIMATELY FAIL.

VALVE COVER RECALL WAS REPAIRED BUT THE SAME ISSUE SHOWING UP AGAIN. THE FORUMS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS. IT IS LEAKING ONTO THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN. HAS NOT FAILED YET BUT WILL HAVE TO PAY SEVERAL HUNDRED TO REPAIR IT. IT IS ALSO LEAKING ONTO THE EXHAUST SHIELD COULD CATCH FIRE.

2007 SANTE FE LIMITED, SAGE GREY ONE OWNER, GARAGE KEPT, MAINTAINED REGULAR BASIS, LOW MILEAGE 84,000, INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH A KELLY BLUE BOOK OF $4200 TO $4600. PURCHASED AT LAUREN HYUNDAI IN GLENVIEW AND MAINTAINED AT HYUNDAI LINCOLNWOOD, IL ALONG WITH MY REGULAR MECHANIC. I LEARNED YESTERDAY THAT THE RIGHT REAR OF SUB FRAME RUSTED OUT WITH A BOTH FRONT FRAME RUSTED OUT AND HAS A HOLE IN IT. IT'S A KNOW ISSUE BY FED, NHTSA, SERIES OF RECALLS AND DEALER RUSTED OUT FRAMES, SUB FRAMES AND OTHER PART REPAIRS AND REPLACEMETNS. THE 2007 TREATMENT DIDN'T WORK AND THE SAME ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH CLASS ACTION SUITS. I'VE ALSO READ LOW AND HIGH MILEAGE CARS WITHIN 2-10 YEARS HAVE SAME ISSUE BUT MUST BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY RESOLVED THE OLDER ONES BY SPRAYING THEM ONE ONE RECALL AND DIDN'T UPGRADE THEIR SUB PAR PARTS FOR US COLD WEATHER SALT BELT STATES. I NOW LOST THE VALUE, CANT SELL IT OUTRIGHT AND THE CAR IS DEEMED UNSAFE. I'D LIKE ASSISTANCE GETTING THIS LOOKED AT AND REPAIRED. YES OLD BUT IN GREAT CONDITION MECHANICALLY WITH A VITAL PART OF THE CAR NOT CODE FOR CHICAGO FROM THE BEGINNING WITH A CONTINUED ISSUE UP TO TODAY. CARS THAT WERE NEW AND A FEW YEARS WERE GETTING THEM REPLACED. I THAT EVEN SAFE AFTER THE REPAIR? I STILL HAVE VALUE IN THIS CAR AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FORFIT FROM GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON HYUNDAI MOTORS ON A VITAL PART OF THE CAR. I WAS CONSIDERING A TRADE BUT NOW FIND OUT ITS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR MANY MODELS. I'D LIKE TO GET THIS LOOKED AT, REPAIRED OR WORK OUT SOME TYPE OF SOLUTION. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN GIVE ME IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. THE DEALER SAID IT'S OLD AND ACTED LIKE THEY HAD NO IDEA. THANK YOU.

FUEL SENSOR BAD, GAUGE MOVES FROM FULL TO EMPTY BEFORE MY EYES ON A FULL TANK OF GAS. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY HYUNDAI WITH A RECALL BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. WORRIES ME CONSTANTLY, HAVE TO FILL UP AFTER 60 MILES EVERY TIME
