This is to make aware of potential/ possible engine fire cause in some Hyundai vehicles. I own a 2011 Santa Fe. At less than 70K miles the oil light began to flicker and leak oil. Dealership indicated I ruined engine and I was responsible for all repair costs due to bla bla bla. I took vehicle to independent shop and they found and replaced defective oil pressure switch Hyundai #9475037000 which leaked oil onto top engine, created a large pool of hot oil that sat there hidden under other components. ( fire hazard ). then- at 130K miles it happened again. Repeat replacement of genuine defective oil pressure switch and hot oil on engine (fire hazard) contacted Hyundai to explain the fire hazard defective oil switch issue. All they could say was take it to dealership. Well I did just that the first time this happened so why go back and go thru the same bs. The 2 switches failing and hidden oil pools on a hot engine should be a red flag and maybe an answer to all the past car fires reported here. Included is photo of the defective parts that where replaced. Note- the switch location is in the V cavity under the intake manifold. Impossible to see and if it starts spewing hot oil out there's no way see it.

Something in the engine, harness or module, allows the computer to overheat suddenly, through 3 batters and 2 alternators in 4 months last alternator lasted 2 drives... car dies nancy depressive light show and died then the battery and alternator is fried. Hyundia dealership refusing to check harness or module because my VIN number isn't listed in recall although my car is in the recall. The car has died 4 times requiring towing. The car died when driving after about 10 miles. Car has brand new battery. Starter works fine. It died in the middle if a streetceach time twice was at night. And I am a disabled woman who uses a wheelchair. Monday June 24th was the most recent time at 1 pm in 104 degree heat for 5 hours with a heart condition which was doubly dangerous situation. The battery died eventually leaving me with no hazards. What to charge me to replace a 3 rd alternator without checking harness or module a scam!

While on a long trip about 100 miles into the drive while driving on the freeway with the cruise control set to 78 mph the steering columns (from the turn signal side) starts smoking and it smelled like electrical wiring burning. I immediately slowed down but did not stop in fear of being stranded in the middle of nowhere. At the same time the turn signal started making this very fast clicking noise that sounded like the turn signal was stuck on, but it was not on. No idiot lights ever came on to indicate a problem. After about 15 minutes the smoke finally stopped the the smell went away. However the fast turn signal clicking noise continued off and on for the remainder of the trip. I continued to drive the next 250 miles home with the clicking noise. I was able to turn the engine off and on again when I stopped for gas and it started just fine. I plan to take the car into the dealership on Monday morning to have the issue diagnosed. Just after this happened I called my dealership for advise on what to do and he thought there might be a recall on this issue. My biggest fear was that the inside of the car was going to catch on fire and I was going to be stranded in the middle of no where with no help. Not to mention the fear on me catching on fire as the steering column in right in front of my body. Very dangerous situation. Please recall for this issue.

Led screen on A/C and mileage back lighting flickering on and off. Very disturbing at night. This should not happen on any car 2011. Lcd blue screens are shorting out. Mid panel radio down to A/C controls and odometer screen. Dealer wants 2,000 replace. This should not happen on a 7 year old car and mechanic says he sees it all the time on many models of Hyundai.

- Atlanta, GA, USA

My multi stalk switch is smoking and constantly clicking as if my blinker is on. It also causes my signal lights to come on and stick. This is happening the whole time the car is running. It first started smoking yesterday while I was driving on the highway, and it also smokes when the car is parked. I believe this to be a huge hazard because I am afraid it will start a fire.

Directional was blinking fast and was not on then smoke came from steering wheel.

- Baldwin, NY, USA

Center information console (radio/navigation) console screen is black in cold weather until it thaws out. Make radio and navigation unusable until it thaws. This is a safety issue because if someone is travelling and the car gets cold they'll be unable to navigate. Imagine getting up for an emergency to go somewhere and the screen is black preventing you from travelling or you're travelling and stop for a rest and the vehicle gets cold preventing you from continuing until it thaws out. If someone had an emergency and needed to find a hospital or in case of diabetic needed to find somewhere to eat and they couldn't because the navigation screen was frozen.

On June 11, 2014 my 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe ( 55051 miles) started making a whining sound when the car is first started. I took the car into a Hyundai dealer and they discovered that the pulley idler needed to be replaced. Fortunately my car is still under warranty. On June 27th, 2014 my Hyundai Santa Fe (55376 miles), check engine light came on. The car did not want to accelerate. Above 20 mph. I took the car back to the dealer and they discovered the 55376 PO638 lost communication and had to replace the throttle sensor. Coming home today July 17th 2014, the car was a little hesitant when accelerating after coming to a complete stop and trying to step on the gas pedal. Has anyone reported these problems?
