2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Complaints

After a road trip from NJ to KY, the low oil pressure light came on during stops. A quick check at the mechanic shows that my oil was low though I was not due for a scheduled oil change. I was informed that the car might be burning oil. The low oil light still came on during stops even after toping the oil. I was later informed that the engine cannot maintain the oil pressure when the car is idling after a follow-up visit in a couple of days. A quick check online showed that Hyundai has been having issues with car engines related to 'metallic oil' which could lead to this issue. My mechanic informed me that the dealership has refused to change my motor since it is not included in the ongoing engine replacement program. I was also informed that the company no longer makes the engine even if I want to purchase a replacement! I wish to request the NHTSA to institute a wider review to study if other Hyundai and Kia engines have oil burning/metallic oil issues and if these could be looped into the engine replacement program as it is unfathomable that a 5 yr car's motor should be damaged after a road trip under normal use conditions. Thanks for looking into this.

Driving on the Interstate with my kids on our way to see family, when we heard a rattling sound and within in a minute or two, then heard a thud sound and the car died. I was barely able to make it to the side of the Interstate. We first had it towed to a local mechanic, who explained that it had thrown a piston through the engine block. We were quoted at that time around $11,000 for engine replacement. In order to submit anything to Hyundai, we had to tow it to the nearest dealership, which confirmed the local mechanic's diagnosis, only to be denied coverage because of warranty. They quoted us approximately $14,000 for an engine replacement. Even though this is not the specific issue outlined in the massive recall, they KNOW they have a serious issue with their engine production during this timeframe. They really need to something to help those of use with blown engines. Mileage is roughly 102,000 and we have service records to prove we have not neglected maintenance.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V056000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. An unknown dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

I have had my vehicle in for the same sputtering/lack of acceleration problem 5times. The check engine light is flashing, yet, the tech says there is nothing wrong. It is frightening to drive when I cannot accelerate and it jerks horribly between 0-20. When I reach 64mph, it starts deceleration and drops even though my foot is on the gas pedal. I also have a known oil consumption problem they have not been helpful with. I did contact the National care line and they have accelerated the problem to a safety concern.my car has been at the dealer for 5 weeks and I just got a message stating nothing is wrong with the car.

I took my Hyundai to the dealer Anderson Hyundai in Anderson SC in March 2022 for an issue with all 3 of the brake warning lights coming on and was told that there was a recall. I was told that they took care of the issue. A week later all 3 lights came on again and the service manager informed me that that fix didn't work. I was also told that my car could catch fire and that I should receive another notice. When I received that 2nd recall notice I was then told that they could look at it but it would cost me to fix it. The issue is when I start the car the odometer spikes up to the 20 mile mark and then those 3 warning lights come on it isn't fixed. It has also displayed those warning lights while traveling on the road.

UNKNOWN It started with the engine suddenly reducing my speed down to 10 mph while I was driving on the freeway, the check engine light turned on. We then took it to the Hyundai dealership who turned us a way and told us they couldn’t see us for several months. So we were forced to take it to a repair shop who ran a compression test and told us it failed. We were able to speak to the dealership a few days later who asked us to take it in they re ran the test and told us it passed but they needed to do some updates to the knock sensor due to multiple recalls they had failed to inform us on (even though they had conducted an update back in 2019) after this they conducted several oil consumption tests which have averaged a liter or more consumed per 500 miles. During this time the vehicle repeatedly had knocking sounds, warning light flashes, sputtering of the engine, occasional stalling, and marked issues with acceleration from a stop, amongst other concerning issues. We then we’re required to have a combustion cleaning by the dealership, this not only didn’t solve any of the previous issues but increased the oil consumption to as much as 1.5 liters in around 330 miles. The dealership confirmed that the vehicle had been properly maintained and it hadn’t been tampered with but Hyundai continues to refuse to replace the engine. Even though many of the other engines with similar issues have since caught on fire and endangered the occupants. The vehicle continues to jerk when accelerating and consume oil at an alarming rate.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. The contact initially received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V056000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) and had the vehicle serviced at the dealer once parts were available. After the recall repair was performed, the vehicle failed to accelerate from a stop. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact called the dealer and was advised to bring the vehicle back to the dealer for an inspection. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle with engine failure and provided an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was 149,000.

what I was told by the dealer my engine has failed / locked up due to the crankshaft being locked up. I was put at risk because as I was driving at 45mph on the road and the vehicle just shutoff no power, I was able to get to the side of the road and pull into a parking lot. I tried to start the vehicle while after waiting an hour and a half but all i got was a clicking noise. The vehicle is currently at the dealership where the technician has told me there was a recall on the engine of 2017 santa fe acouple years ago and this is exactly the same thing that happened then. waiting for approval for repair. There were not any warning lights prior to this happening. My vehicle only has around 86,000 miles on it

The rear seats vibrate @ 60 mph+. The seats cause the entire vehicle to shake. I cannot place a child in the seat or an adult for fear the seats will come unhinged. Additionally, sometimes it is difficult to determine if the road is rough or if it is the seats. The vehicle has been inspected by two dealerships (w/ records) but it cannot be fixed. I have reported the issue to Hyundai corporate and have been told it's in my hands and the seat dysfunction is not covered by any warranty due to it being a manufacturing issue. The issue began shy of reaching the vehicle's standard warranty (it has an extended warranty from its original purchase).

My dealer, Crain Hyundai, North Little Rock, AR, has not performed the recall notices on my 2017 Santa Fe (recall 961 Auxilary Canister Kit and recall 218 ABS system). I have taken the vehicle in three times and they say they don't have the parts. I would like to file a complaint in this regard. Michael Barron
