2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT Complaints

WHEN DRIVING IN NORMAL AND SPORT MODE, ON ACCELERATION THERE IS A DELAY AND WHEN THE GAS IS LEFT OFF, THE ENGINE IS REVVING HIGH BUT PROPULSION, SPEED IS DIMINISHED, HAVING A STALL OUT AFFECT AT VARYING SPEEDS. RPM IS HIGH BUT ENGINE IS NOT RESPONDING . THIS HAS HAPPENED WEEKLY AND NEARLY DAILY WHEN DRIVING IN CITY ENVIRONMENT WITH SPEED FROM 30 TO 50 PLUS MILES PER HOUR.

NHTSA RECALL: 17V365000 I HAVE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED BY HYUNDAI REGARDING SEAT BELT ANCHOR ISSUE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE JULY 2017 AND WAS NOT INFORMED BY THE COMPANY SELLING THE VEHICLE (BYERS AUTO GROUP, COLUMBUS OHIO) OR THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS RECALL. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH SEAT BELT ANCHOR THIS NEEDS FIXED ASAP.

HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CAR FROM DAY ONE. WHEN I HIT A BUMP IT LOST POWER, LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS. HAD IT INTO 3 SEPARATE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS FOR SAME PROBLEM 6-7 TIMES. SUV GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH TIME, STARTED LOSING POWER WHEN TRAVELING UPHILL.WAS ALMOST IN TWO BAD ACCIDENTS BEFORE IT STOPPED RUNNING ALL TOGETHER, SMOKING. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSED WITH A BAD ENGINE FROM ASSEMBLY LINE. CAN NOT EVEN GET IT REPAIRED FOR MONTHS DUE TO BACK ORDER ON ENGINES...CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND ASKED THEM TO TAKE THE DEFECTIVE CAR BACK. IT IS A 3 YEAR LEASE WITH 1 YEAR LEFT...THEY REFUSE TO TAKE THE SUV BACK...EXPECT ME TO KEEP A DEFECTIVE SUV THAT I HAVE NO FAITH IN DRIVING EVEN WITH A NEW ENGINE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. BUT HYUNDAI IS REFUSING TO TAKE THEIR DEFECTIVE SUV BACK....JUST NOT RIGHT. ALL OF THIS IS DOCUMENTED. SUV LOST POWER ON TWO OCCASIONS, ONCE WHILE DRIVING 45-50 MPH ON A FLAT SURFACE THEN AGAIN TRAVELING 65 MPH IN THE MOUNTAINS TRAVELING UPHILL. IT ALSO HAD SEVERAL TIMES I WOULD HIT A BUMP AND IT WOULD LOSE POWER DRIVING ON A FLAT SURFACE.

1.) ON APRIL 20, 2018 STOPPED ON A HILL FOR A RED LIGHT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PUT ON THE GAS, THE CAR WENT BACKWARDS. THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY CITY/HOSPITAL DISTRICT AND THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS BEHIND US. 3.) IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON JULY 21, 2018 ON A CITY STREET WITH NO ONE BEHIND US. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THIS. 2.) WHEN SOMEONE PUTS A PILLOW UNDER THEM ON THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG DOES NOT WORK. THIS HAPPENS IF THE CAR IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 45 MPH, TEMPERATURE ABOUT 80 DEGREES F, WITH THE SUNROOF CLOSED, WHEN SUDDENLY THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. THIS VEHICLE HAS A PANORAMIC SUNROOF. THE FRONT SECTION EXPLODED, SENDING SHARDS OF GLASS ALL OVER INSIDE THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER AND CALL HYUNDAI ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY COULDN'T HELP US , SO WE VACUUMED UP THE GLASS AND PUT A TARP ON THE ROOF. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE HYUNDAI IS REPLACING THE ROOF UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO OBJECT WHICH IMPACTED THE ROOF; IT JUST EXPLODED!

OUR SANTA FE SPORT WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVE WAY WHEN THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUTWARDS. SHATTERING THE GLASS IN MANY LITTLE PIECES. WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY FOR REPLACEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. VISION HYUNDAI HENRIETTA ROCHESTER (2525 W HENRIETTA RD, ROCHESTER, NY 14623, (585) 292-0500) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ACCELERATION PROBLEM. SOME TIMES TURNING LEFT EITHER FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR A SLOW TURN WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS IT TAKES OFF AND THEN HESITATE FOR FEW SECONDS AND THEN TAKES OF. IT IS SO SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE TRAFFIC COMING TOWARDS YOU. NOW IT IS STARTING TO DO IT MORE AND NOW ITS DOING IT WHEN I TURN RIGHT. HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND CAN NOT BELIEVE NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS. AS USUAL SOMEONE HAS TO GET KILLED BEFORE THIS IS TAKEN SERIOUS.

A ROCK KICKED UP WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ON A CITY STREET AND HIT UNDERCARRIAGE, DAMAGING THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. THIS IS A SPORTS UTILITY TRUCK, ADVERTISED AND MARKETED TO HANDLE OFF ROAD CONDITIONS. POOR DESIGN IN LACK OF PROTECTIVE METAL PLATE BARRIER AROUND THE CANISTER HAS LEAD TO AN EASY PUNCTURE AND DAMAGE TO EVAC COMPONENT AND EXPENSIVE COST FOR REPLACEMENT WITH NO PART WARRANTY.

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A SIDE STREET ON TO A MAIN HIGHWAY THE CAR QUIT MOVING . THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. NO POWER. THERE WERE NO ENGINE CODES DISPLAYED. AFTER COASTING TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND PUMPING THE GAS FEED MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR FINALLY TOOK OFF. THIS IS A REAL CHANCE FOR A BROAD SIDE ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER SANTA FE SPORT 2.0 TURBOS THAT I PERSONALLY KNOW OF . THE LATEST ONE WAS A 2018 SANTA FE SPORT 2.0 TURBO OWNED BY -----------WHICH ALSO ALMOST CAUSED A BROAD SIDE ACCIDENT. THIS MUST BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!
