Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2015 was making sounds when vehicle was off. The ABS warning lights were lit on the dashboard (3 warnings in total) once car was turned on. Drove home hoping the sound would go away but it did not. Once home the sound continued without the vehicle being on. Opened the hood and listened for the location of the sound. It was the ABS module on the left. This part then caught on fire while parked and off (keys were out).

The sunroof screen will not close therefor is no protection if the sunroof were to shatter. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer. It is not covered by the warranty. There were no warnings prior to the incident. I have tried to close it regularly and it still won-€™t close.

The blind spot detector starting randomly going off very sporadically since we had the car. Then one day it started going off almost every minute for about 7-8 minutes then an error message appeared and it stopped working all together. The car was in motion on the freeway.

My 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe has been recalled due to the anti-lock system (ABS) modules that could leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrica short over time. The piston seals in the ABS modules's hydraulic valve could leak brake fluid into the electronic control unit (euc). An electrical short in the ABS module could increase the risk of an engine compartment fire. The safety recall letter I received 12-24-20 stated to call the nearest Hyundai dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment to have this repaired. I called on Jan 12, 2021 to my dealership and was told the parts to fix the recall were not in yet and they could not tell me when they would be available. I find this to be very concerning that I may have a car that anytime could catch on fire and Hyundai cannot fix it.

In January my alternator failed. I took the car to a dealership and they replaced the bad part. Two days later that part failed and took it back to the dealership and they swapped the part again free of charge. On Friday Sept 6th my alternator failed again and destroyed the in-line fuse and killed the battery. Once its fixed it will be my 4th alternator in less than 80K miles. All of the times that this part failed it was while on the highway.
