2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT Complaints

THE DRIVERS SEAT IS LOOSE AND WILL ROCK BACK AND FORTH. IT OCCURS IN MOTION AND WHEN STATIONARY. IT FEELS LIKE IN AN ACCIDENT IT MAY BECOME DISLODGED. IT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE SEAT TRACKS.

MY CAR STARTED SMOKING WHEN CRANKING IT AND BURNING OIL LIKE CRAZY. NOW MY CAR HAS A BLOWN ENGINE. I WAS NEVER INFORMED ABOUT THE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V226000.

THE PAINT IS FLAKING/PEELING ON HOOD, ROOF AND BACK BUMPER. RANGING FROM TINY SPOTS AL THE WAY TO LARGE AREAS (APPROX. 6 INCHES X 3 INCHES) IAS WELL AS THE TRIM DOWN THE SIDES ON THE PAINT IN PEELING OFF AS WELL. I HAVE CHECKED AND SEEN THAT THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SEVERAL OWNERS OF THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL APPEARING TO BE THE SAME IN COLOR ALSO) PLEASE CONSIDER RECALLING AND CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM, GIVING PEOPLE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR COMPANY AGAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS RECALLS ON THIS MODEL ALREADY SO IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED IF THIS WOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS A PROBLEM WITH EITHER THIS MODEL OR SPECIFIC COLOR BEING A DEFECT IN THE WHITE PAINT. I DON'T THINK WITH THIS PROBLEM I CAN SPECIFY IF VEHICLE WAS MOVING OR STAIONARY AS INFORMATION ASKED TO INCLUDE IN ALL COMPLAINTS. I HAVE ABOUT 3 MORE PICTURES OF DAMAGE THAT WOULDN'T FIT IN PHOTO SECTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO ALLEN HYUNDAI (28432 CAMINO CAPISTRANO, LAGUNA NIGUEL, CA 92677, (949) 485-3700) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO THE VALVES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,690.

THE DEALER DIDN'T NOTIFY ME ABOUT THE RECALL #162. IT TURNED ON THE ENGINE LIGHT A LOT OF TIME AND LOSS POWER WHEN I'M DRIVING.

VEHICLE HAS SLIGHTLY OVER 78,000 MILES. ENGINE SEIZED WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I AM NOT BEING TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SOLD US THE WRONG WARRANTY, GAVE US AN OUTDATED CAR FAX REPORT, AND IS SAYING THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

HYUNDAI IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT 2.0 TURBO SPARK PLUGS GERNADING INSIDE THE HEAD AND CYLINDER COMBUSTION CHAMBER. THIS IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER, OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES AROUND THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE AND SISTER IN LAW WHILE TRAVELING ON CA241 HAD THIS OCCUR. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, AND SHE HAD TO MAKE EVASIVE MANEUVERS TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO AN OFF RAMP WHERE THE SANTA FE THEN DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES EQUIPPED THE THIS ENGINE AS WELL AS THE 2.4I. HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE DOES NOT SEEM TO HELP WITH CUSTOMERS PROBLEMS REGARDING THIS. THEY ARE EVASIVE, AND ARE TELLING CUSTOMERS THEY WILL CALL YOU WITH IN 3-5 DAYS. ALL THE WHILE YOUR VEHICLE IS SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP NOT RUNNING AND AN ENGINE THAT DOES NOT RUN. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM, OFFER IT'S CUSTOMERS A NEW ENGINE FOR THIS CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AND NOT PUTS IT'S CUSTOMERS IN DANGER OF BODILY HARM OR POSSIBLY DEATH. HOW MANY LIVES SHOULD BE SACRIFICED FOR THE GREED THAT HYUNDAI IS GETTING BY NOT GETTING THESE UNSAFE VEHICLES REPAIRED OR OFF THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT JUST A HYUNDAI PROBLEM BUT A PUBLIC SAFETY PROBLEM AS WELL.THIS ENGINE FAILURE IS A KNOWN DEFECT BY HYUNDAI, AND NOT BEING REPAIRED. THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF PROFIT BEFORE SAFETY. THIS VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH, WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT ON CA241 WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURRED.

THE CLOSEST CAR IN FRONT OF US WAS 1/2 MILE. ALL OF A SUDDEN A LOUD SHOTGUN LIKE SOUND AND GLASS EVERYWHERE. THE FRONT SECTION OF OUR PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED. MY WIFE WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND MY 19 MONTH OLD WAS IN THE BACK SEAT. GLASS WAS ON ALL OF US.
