Car engine is over heating car engine locked up care engine manufacturer recall needs to be requested on all 2013 Hyundai Sante Fe 2.0T model vehicles this is a safety risk to all customers driving this model. The car engine was diagnosed and verified by the hyundai dealership service department. There were no warnings prior to failure. The service department notified me on August 10 2023 of the services needed due to auto risk and recall statements on the hyundai model vehicles.
I bought the vehicle 2 months ago, and 2 weeks ago, I noticed the car was shaking when I applied the brakes. The engine light came on and I took it to the shop, and was told I needed a new engine.
2013 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS low beam very dim ( having to use High beams contentiously)dealership states can not find problem, checked wiring harness ohms out correctly(12 volts )have replaced bulbs many time manufactured recommended. have researched internet and Hyundai form many owners are having similar issues on other modals as well. This has become a serious safety issues as well as cost, There has been no response from Hyundai about this issues. Is there a corrective action for this problem?
When the cruise control shuts down, the tachometer cuts out and the vehicle seems to go into limp mode. Brightening or dimming the headlights causes an intermittent bright flash to the interior lights. This could be potentially dangerous seeing as you have no acceleration, which could cause very extensive damage to person and property. The intermittent bright flash could be a result of an unregulated power surge, which could cause damage to person and property.
Car burned oil putting 2 quarts back in it every week/ topping it off. Oil light doesn't indicate oil is getting low and or does it come on. Left side of steering wheel controls don't work at all. What's the point of the bluetooth if you cant use the important part of the function that's supposed to help. Both in motion and stationary.
2/10/20 my right low beam headlight keeps blowing out. We have replaced the light 3 times in less than a week. Our mechanic suggested that I report this problem to the NHTSA to see if there is a recall on this problem. My light is out again!!! this is a serious safety problem. Cannot see the right side of the road unless I use my high beams.
Ever since I have had this vehicle the driver side break light has gone out. I keep replacing the bulb but I find out it's the socket. As well the driver side parking light the halo over the front light has gone out this has to be a defect please help me to understand how this keeps going out. The halo cannot be repaired easily.
Driving visibility during darkness and/or rainy conditions is significantly reduced due to dim and low beam direction of said vehicle making driving with high beams the only way to safely drive at night.
The headlights are directed downward such that they do not sufficiently illuminate the roadway. Exceeding speeds of approximately 35 mph at night on a level surface requires over-driving the headlights; high beams must be used at all times at greater speeds to drive safely. The company refers me to the dealership and vice versa; while they each acknowledge that this is a common problem, neither is willing to take steps to rectify the issue.
The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe sport. The contact stated that at night on dark mountain roads the headlights prevents you from seeing the side and cross roads. The dealer was not notified. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
2013 Hyundai sante fe. Consumer writes in regards to low beam headlights problem. The consumer stated when driving at night, the front windshield had a line and shadow at about half way point to the top that was a darker shade and as a result it was very dark and very hard to see, especially on poorly lit roads.
Have been noticing occasionally the front windshield wipers do not return to their "parked" position. They will occasionally stay too far up by 2 to 3 inches. When parked, they should be below the hood line tucked nicely to the wiper cowl. I have found on about 5 occasions since owning this car that the wipers are up as opposed to parked down correctly. The driver seat also rocked quite a bit when first purchased. Two of us drive the vehicle, neither of us are overweight at all. We got the seat track assembly under the driver's seat replaced. This helped the problem alot, but the seat still wobbles enough to be annoying. Have also noticed on other Santa Fe's that the fog lamp bulb shield (inside the lens assembly) appears melted, as it dangles down far too low and causes the fog light output to be incorrectly aimed.
I recently bought my wife a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe sport 2.0T. After having the car for several days I noticed that it did not have daytime running lights. I checked the owners manual and it said that some models had them. The car I bought was the top of the line model so I felt that the car should have them. I called the dealer and they checked their inventory and said that this model does not have them. I thought that all cars had them. I consider this to be a serious safety issue. ## VIN failed
