2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT Complaints

My car was stolen because Hyundai makes it ungodly easy to steal. They can literally steal the car with a USB cord. Hyundai and kia need to be held responsible!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE WHILE TURNING LEFT. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER NOR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000.

MY CAR HAS STARTED JERKING WHEN UP SHIFTING AND SEEMS TO ONLY BE HAPPENING WHEN THE CAR HAS NOT WARMED UP. THEN TODAY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 78MPH MY CAR LOST POWER. NOT COMPLETELY. ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING "GAVE OUT" AND I LOST THE FORWARD FORCE I WAS GOING. IT ALSO BECAME LOUDER, ALMOST LIKE A LID HUM. WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO GO

THE PAINT IS PEELING AND FLAKING OFF IN SHEETS ON TOP AND ON HOOD OF MY 2017 SANTA FE SPORT AWD. THE COLOR IS PEARL WHITE AND HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND ONLY HAS 54,000 MILE

THERE HAS BEEN A KNOCK SINCE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT 3 YRS AGO. IT BURNS THREW AT ABOUT1-2 QUART OF OIL EVERY 2000 MILES TRIGGERING THE OIL LIGHT TO COME ON. OIL CHANGES ARE DONE EVERY 3000 MILES WITH FULL SYNTHETIC ALWAYS. IT'S ALSO BEEN TAKEN INTO HYUNDAI OF OLYMPIA FOR ACCELERATION ISSUE WHILE DRIVING (DOESN'T SHIFT UP/DOWN, SHIFT VERY HARD, STUTTERS WHEN SHIFTING) ALSO ASKED ABOUT OIL CONSUMPTION WHEN TAKEN IN FOR RECALL AND WAS TOLD THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS NORMAL.

STICKY STEERING WHEEL, HARDER TO KEEP VEHICLE STEERING STRAIGHT WITHOUT EXTRA FORCE, STEERING WHEEL DASH LIGHT AND TWO OTHER LIGHTS COME ON PERIODICALLY THEN GO OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AND ASCENDING A HILL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE SPEED WOULD BE REDUCED. ALSO DURING THE FAILURE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER HADDAD HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 689 EAST ST, PITTSFIELD, MA 01202, AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.*DT*JB

THIS CAR HAS HAD A LOWER ENGINE KNOCK AT START UP FROM DAY ONE. THEY TOOK CARE OF KNOCK SENSOR SYSTEM BUT IT STILL KNOCKS AT START UP ALL THE TIME AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE CARE OF IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. I AM A RETIRED AUTOMOTIVE RESTORATION SHOP OWNER OF 40 YEARS AND HAVE HAD ARTICLES WRITTEN ABOUT MY SHOP SO I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE KNOCK IS COMING FROM THE ROD BEARINGS! IT SEEMS AS THOUGH HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS THINKS AND ACTS LIKE EVERYONE THEY ENCOUNTER WITH THIS ISSUE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. I AM AT THE POINT OF HIRING AN ATTORNEY BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WHILE IN THE CAR.

THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. IT WAS REAR-ENDED.THE DRIVER'S SEAT RELEASED BACKWARD ONTO THE REAR SEAT. SEE PHOTO ATTACHED.

THE PAINT IS COMING OFF IN CHUNKS ON THE BONNET RIGHT AFTER THE PAINT WARRANTY EXPIRED, WHICH IS ONLY THREE YEARS. THE CAR IS PEARL WHITE. *TR
