This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Smelled smoke at a stop light. Continued when light turned green. Pulled over about 30 car lengths later because smoke was coming in the vents. Jumped out of car and ran. Within 2 minutes, entire front engine was completely engulfed in flames. No indicator light came on before. Car was driving perfect.
Multiple complaints about the engine stalling while driving at different speeds causing very dangerous situations the vehicle looses power steering and proper braking mine has done this once so far and I have seen multiple complaints online of the same this happening to others who own the same year make model of the vehicle
Vehicle loses all electrical power, despite having a new battery installed by dealer. Battery runs down, sometimes overnight. Dealer cannot find any issues, though something clearly is draining battery power very quickly. It has happened at least 5 times in the past 3 months. Vehicle is operated often enough to preclude such battery drainage. I am bringing it back to the dealer again on 11 June, as this occurred again today (9 June). I purchased a portable machine that jumps the car because this happens so often. My spouse is the primary operator of this vehicle and I fear that the electrical will fail unexpectedly and pose a safety problem. This is a design flaw or a lemon!
Over one month ago, my gps viewer showed a wrong time. I reset the clock and exited the feature. The clock quit appearing on the screen. At first I didn't notice it. Then when I did, I wasn't able to enter the program to set the clock: It was all dark on the choices. I read both my manuals and nothing in them talked about this problem. I had several friends read the manual and they couldn't find any information to fix this either. I went to the dealer and have it fixed and they said there is no fix for this. The second time I came to the dealer, the technician ordered the whole head unit and they said I have to wait for the order. It's about 4-5 weeks now and I still haven't heard anything. I called last week and they said there is no eta for it. I do not know what to do anymore.
My car wouldn't start had my car for service. I was charged a service fee which they would tell me whats wrong with the car. I was only told the battery was an issue. That was replace. The person who attend me did not tell me anything about getting an oil change or any other problems in February. Went back in April because my car stop running turned off in the middle of the road. Went back to the same dealer I not fix cars so when I get servive for the vehicle. I would think someone would tell me otherwise but no. I toke it back I was told the vehicle doesnt have warranty. That it expired but in the system there was no warranty even recorded. Now I am stuck with harassment calls about a vehicle I no longer have due to lack of maintenance. I purchase the vehicle last year in June 2019. I didnt have the car for then a year.
My car just turned off. While I was driving under 15 miles, it turned off, this has happened 3!times since I got the car. The seatbelt in the 2nd row behind the passenger seat sometimes doesn't want to lock. The dealership said that they weren't able to recreate the problems so there's nothing that they could do about it. I spoke to their corporate office and sent emails and no one can fix the issues.
Car completely shut down while driving at a slow speed turning right from a stop sign, was lucky to be able to pull over to side of road. All electrical/computer shut down, engine cut off. Restarted but engine sputters, feels like it is trying to shift gears while still in park. It was a very unsafe situation. Was not able to get started to drive home. One week earlier I noticed the computer acting up when I first started up, but restated and drove anyway (no problem that time while driving).
Vehicle has intermittent starting issues. Starts when it wants too. Car is only 18 months old 17,100 miles. 2 days in row car wouldn't turn over but everything in the car worked. Lights, radio, power windows etc. Computer wasn't detecting key that was in my hand.
This is the third occassion where my 2017 Santa Fe will not start. When I turn the keys in the ignition there is no sound at all, no electricity is being sent to start the engine. However, all my lights and radio funtions work just fine. After a while the it will work again. My battery has been tested and shown to be working fine. I leave no interior lights on and cant figure out what changes to make it start working.
Vehicle has intermittent starting issues similar to a low or dead battery. Will only start when it wants. Usually happens at first start of the day or late afternoon. Putting vehicle in drive is harder than normal. Transmission gear shifts have hard jerking feel.
While driving on December 11, 2017 after dark, down a mountain pass in Colorado, at 55 mph, all of the lights - interior and exterior - failed (turned off) momentarily. When my husband hit the brakes, he could see the brake lights activate in the rear view mirror. After playing with the headlight controls for a few seconds, everything came back on. This happened as my husband was switching from the high beams to the low beams. Even though the interior (dashboard) lights were off, the radio continued to play.
## VIN passed ## ## the low fuel light on my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe sport does not illuminate or beep to notify me of low fuel. I was down to almost 10 miles left before I realized I was almost on empty. Dealership has checked codes and told me there are no faulty codes. Now inhave tontake it in again and let them know that it still doesnt work.. I am leaving it on empty so they can see how the light doesnt turn
The driver seat makes squeaking noises all the time. I cant move in my seat without these loud and annoying squeaking noises coming from the back of the seat
While driving at 25 mph, numerous warning lights illuminated, including low tires, steering, other codes consisting of letters. Power steering failed, power brakes failed. Engine was still running. We were able to pull the car off the road safely. Steering warning light still illuminated as were tire warnings. The tires were fully inflated, engine still running. We turned the engine off, raised the hood to check for thrown belt. Belts were intact. Tried to restart the engine, it made a clicking and a sizzling sound and would not start. Called dealer, dealer gave number for Hyundai assurance. They came and picked up the car. If we had been driving any faster, or in traffic, the automobile's failure could have caused an accident. If we had been on the highway, someone could have been hurt or killed. After a couple of days we were given a courtesy car. After a week, the car was repaired. The problem was reported as a fuse on the positive battery cable. Cable and battery were replaced. Vehicle was in motion on a city street at time of failure.
When driving suddenly the car decelerates making it necessary to mash harder on the gas pedal to get the car to continue moving. The usb port does not charge which results in the phone losing battery life you can only use android and apple car onn that port so when traveling long distances you may be without directions. Its an ongoing issue.
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving approximately 2 mph, the vehicle lost power while turning right or left. The power returned within seconds. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to a local dealer. The failure mileage was 1,200.
