2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Complaints

VEHICLE BEGAN BURNING THROUGH 3-4 QUARTZ OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES AFTER VEHICLE GOT CLOSE TO 75K MILES. WHEN THE ISSUE FIRST BEGAN, THE CAUSE WAS UNKNOWN. AFTER RUNNING MULTIPLE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS, IT IS NOW BELIEVED TO BE AN ENGINE DEFICIENCY.

CAR STARTED TO WHINE WHEN STARTED, THEN I WAS AT ABOUT 30 MPH IT MADE A HIGH PING NOISE LIKE SOMETHING FELL OUT AND THE CAR SHUT OFF, NEVER STARTED AGAIN, MECHANIC SAID ENGINE BLOWN

LET ME SAY MY HYUNDAI SANTA FE LIMITED ULTIMATE 3.3L AWD IS A VERY GOOD AND RELIABLE VEHICLE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES OR PROBLEMS. ALWAYS KEPT IT MAINTAINED. WELL ABOUT A MONTH AGO I HAPPEN TO START MY HYUNDAI WITH THE DOOR OPEN AND I HEARD A SOUND JUST FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE SOUND OF A ENGINE LOW ON OIL WHAT COULD NOT BELIEVE IT, IT CAN'T BE. SO I CHECKED IT AND SURE ENOUGH IT NEEDED OIL, DUMBFOUNDED NO OIL PUDDLES ANYWHERE ON THE GROUND I WAS KINDA IN SHOCK THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED DIDN'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT ITS NEVER LEAKED OIL AND NONE OF THE GENTLEMEN THAT CHANGES THE OIL NEVER SAID ANYTHING OIL ABOUT THE OIL BEING LOW OR OIL ON THE ENGINE. SO I FOUND OUT WHAT KINDA OF OIL IT TOOK AND PUT ABOUT 3 1/2 QUARTERS. OK ALL BETTER BUT STILL WONDERING HOW THAT HAPPEND JUST RECENTLY HAD THE OIL CHANGED. WELL THE NEXT MORNING I HAD TO DRIVE TO SAN DIEGO FROM LONG BEACH CHECKED OIL OK NO PROBLEM ALL GOOD. SO IM ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING THROU OCEANSIDE CAMP PENDLETON AND WAS GETTING HUNGRY SO THE FIRST EXIT AFTER DRIVING THROUGH OCEANSIDE I WAS GOING TO STOP AND GET SOMETHING MIND YOU NO LIGHTS NO SMELLS NO SMOKE. SO I STARTED TO EXIT STILL EVERYTHING JUST FINE AND WHEN I SLOWED DOWN COMING TO THE LIGHT THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN NO SMOKE NO LIGHTS NO SMELLS. I WAS VERY SUPRISED I TRIED TO START IT AND NOTHING TRIED AGAIN AND NOTHING. SO I CALLED AAA THEY LOOKED AT IT AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG BUT WOULD NOT START. SO I HAD THEM TAKE IT ON A FLAT BED TO HYUNDAI HARBOR OFF OF CHERRY WHERE IT SITS NOW. THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THE ENGINE HAS SEIZED UP IT WILL NOT ROTATE. TOOK OIL PAN OFF AND FOUND METAL PIECES AND SAID THE BEARINGS WENT BAD IN TURN BURNING UP THE OIL AND SEIZED THE ENGINE. THAT PRETTY MUCH IT SO IS THEIR ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP ME. I STILL OWE AROUND $19,000 ON IT AND DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO I'M GLAD I FOUND THAT LITTLE ARTICLE BECAUSE I NEED HELP.

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

VEHICLE ACCELERATES VERY SLUGGISHLY ON TAKE OFF & IS VERY UNRESPONSIVE UNDER LOAD LIKE GOING UP A HILL.

I OWN A HYUNDAI 2017 SANTA FE. I, MY HUSBAND, AND MY DAUGHTER ARE EXPERIENCING (FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE & REPORTED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER) A SERIOUS & DANGEROUS LAG WITH ACCELERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, THE CAR HESITATES BADLY WHEN COMING OUT OF TURNS AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE...JUST SHORT OF COMING TO A STOP. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND APPEARS TO BE GETTING MORE FREQUENT. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES. WILL HYUNDAI FIX THIS ISSUE?
