2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Complaints

HELLO SO I TOOK MY 07 HYUNDAI SANTA FE LIMITED 98K MILES TO A GARAGE TO GET SOME WORK DONE AND THEY PUT IT ON THE LIFT AND STOPED THE WORK TO CALL ME IN TO SEE THAT MY SUBFRAME IN FRONT IS RUSTED THROUGH BIG CHUNKS OF METAL MISSING MAINLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF FRAME. I WAS TOLD THAT THEIR IS A RECALL ABOUT THIS AND THAT HYUNDAI HAS REPLACED THE SUBFRAMES AS A RESULT OF THE RECALL I HAVE NO IDEA WHY UNDER THE CAR ONLY THAT ONE AREA IT'S RUSTED BUT THE REST OF CAR IS FINE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND WAS TOLD AT ANY TIME THE ENGINE COULD FALL THROUGH. I WILL ATTACH SOME PHOTOS OF IT THE BEST I CAN. HOPE YOU CAN HELP. I GOT KIDS THAT RIDE IN THIS AND I'M NOW SCARED. I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN MALL THE ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS MAJOR ISSUE NOVEMBER 29, 2019.

FUEL SENSOR PROBLEMS, FUEL LIGHT ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, BOTH GO OUT WHEN TANK IS ABOUT (I WOULD ESTIMATE) 7/8 TO ABOUT 1/2 A TANK BUT ARE ON AT FULL AND I'M GUESSING 7/16 AND BELOW. I CAN PRETTY MUCH ESTIMATE MY MILEAGE BUT WITH 2 CHILDREN ABOUT TO GET THEIR LICENSE I FEEL THIS WOULD BE HAZARDOUS IF NOT DANGEROUS SHOULD THEY RUN OUT OF GAS ON A PARKWAY OR EXPRESSWAY. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS IT SHOULD BE RATED AS A RECALL AND FIXED. SEEMS TO ME THAT IT OCCURS ONCE THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY EXPIRES AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON KNOWN TO ME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT NEED TO BE REPLACED. ITS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG

IT STARTED OFF AS WHAT SEEMED LIKE JUST THE BULBS BURNING OUT IN ANY WHICH LIGHT. THEN MY PASSENGER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING THEN STARTED WORKING. THE LIGHTS STILL WERE HAVING ISSUES. IT TOOK A BIT FOR ME TO REALIZE THAT THERE IS A SHORT OR SOMETHING IN THE CAR. THE LIGHTS GO OUT THEN COME BACK ON THEN SWITCH WHICH ONE IS OUT. THE WORST TIME WAS WHEN IT WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND CAME BACK OUT WITH NO LIGHTS WORKING. I CONTACTED THE COMPANY TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO FOUL PLAY AND THEY CHECKED THEIR CAMERA. I'VE HAD THE LIGHTS LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIMES BY MULTIPLE DIFFERENT COMPANIES. IT NEVER FIXES THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY. A FEW WEEKS AGO THE BACK RIGHT PASSENGER LOCK STOPPED WORKING THEN THE NEXT WEEK THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW AGAIN. THEN YESTERDAY THE LOCK STARTED TO WORK AND TODAY IT DOESN'T AGAIN. AND SPEEDOMETER IS OFF. HARD TO SAY BY HOW MUCH. DEPENDS ON WHICH SPEED READER I GO BY.

HYUNDAI ISSUED A RECALL RECENTLY RELATED TO THE ABS MODULE, WHICH CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT IN ADVANCE, AND AFTER WAITING FOR AN HOUR ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO ORDER PARTS. THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM AND WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE I CAME FOR THE APPOINTMENT, THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AND PUTS DRIVERS IN DANGER BY EXTENDING TIME SPENT DRIVING WITH THIS COMBUSTION HAZARD. IT HAS NOW BEEN TWO WEEKS (ON MONDAY) SINCE THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP ORDERED THE PARTS AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. I CALLED LAST WEEK TO CHECK IN AND THEY SAID THAT THE PART STILL HAD NOT BEEN RECEIVED AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT ARRIVED. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, IT SEEMS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT HYUNDAI IS TAKING THIS LONG AND NOT PROVIDING A SAFE ALTERNATIVE VEHICLE WHILE AFFECTED CUSTOMERS ARE WAITING ON THE PARTS.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REMOVED AND COMPENSATE THE VALUE TO PREVENT LOSS OF MY HUMAN LIFE OR OF ANOTHER PERSON

POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND ENGINE FAILURE. OIL LEAKING FROM TOP, ANTERIOR, PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE AGAIN CAUSING ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND ALTERNATOR FAILURE. MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES, CAR NOT STARTING, CLOCK RESETTING, DRAINING OF BATTERY. SOLUTION: REPLACED VALVE COVER GASKET AT OWNERS EXPENSE FIRST TIME AT 114900 MILES, BEFORE SERVICE CAMPAIGN 936 WAS KNOWN. MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES AGAIN, CLOCK RESETTING, CAR NOT STARTING, TRIPOMETER RESETTING. SOLUTION: DEALERSHIP REPLACED VALVE COVER GASKET SECOND TIME AT 136,434 MILES, UNDER RECALL. DEALERSHIP ALSO REPLACED FAULTY, OIL COVERED ALTERNATOR. DEALERSHIP NOTED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN COVER WAS LEAKING OIL. THE TIMING CHAIN COVER IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN 936, BUT SHOULD BE AS THE LEAK IS THE SIMILAR ISSUE TO THE VALVE GASKET COVER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. DUE TO THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS HER BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BOARD AS WELL AS USE HER EMERGENCY HAND BRAKE IN ORDER TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE CONTACT EASED HER FOOT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. DUE TO THE FORCE APPLIED TO HER BRAKES, SMOKE BEGAN TO EMIT FROM VEHICLE'S EXHAUST PIPE. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE UNTIL A PARKING LOT UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT THEN TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND CALLED TITUS-WILL HYUNDAI 2255 CARRIAGE LOOP SW, OLYMPIA, WA 98502 WHERE THEY INFORMED HER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THERE DEALER. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, SHE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,700. INVALID VIN.

CAR HAS RECALL. DEALER TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN THEY WOULD FIX IT. DEALER THEN TELLS ME CORPORATE HYUNDAI WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO DO THE WORK EVEN THOUGH DEALER HAS THE PART. AN ELECTRICAL SHORT WITHIN THE ABS MODULE MAY CAUSE AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE, EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, INCREASING THE RISK OF AN INJURY. *TR

MY VEHICLE STALLS AND EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF POWER AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES PER HOUR FREQUENTLY, WHICH SHUTS OFF THE VEHICLE IN A MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, POSING A SAFETY RISK.THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN
