First issue started when the car stalled 3 weeks ago coming off a highway exit ramp while waiting at light. Car stalled a second time while sitting in traffic shortly after. Then worked fine and had an oil change completed at the dealer on 8/2/19. On 8/11/19, car would not accelerate normally after proceeding from a red light on a state highway, check engine light came on and shortly after engine started making knocking noises that became louder after a few miles. Requested a tow truck to tow car to the dealership after noises and acceleration became extremely bad. Car dealer found metal shavings in oil pan and metal build up inside the engine. Long engine block replaced under power train warranty at 95,014 miles.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. While operating the vehicle, a knocking noise was heard coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken to Suburban Hyundai (1814 maple lawn, troy, Michigan) where it was diagnosed that the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact indicated that the vehicle was previously repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 17V226000 (engine) in 2017, but the failure persisted. In addition the contact stated that the gear shifter became stuck and was very difficult to switch from the park position. The failure would normally occur when the vehicle was not driven for several days. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures.

Vehicle stalls while sitting idling waiting at stop lights problem is intermittent and unpredictable. Engine shutters while idling as well. Vehicle loses ability to accelerate when this occurs requiring the driver to put the vehicle in park, turn the engine off, then restart the vehicle. Safety hazard in busy traffic. Additional issues with slippage sounds from the axels when turning corners. Problem may be linked to other open recalls involving manufacturer reported machine errors during the manufacturing process that causes premature bearing wear within the engine. The noted safety risk on other VIN numbered models within the same class is that it may cause the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a crash. This vehichle was just purchased from carmax Virginia three days ago. Issue was not obvious at the time of purchase. There were no open recalls for this VIN number at the time sale was made, but issue is quite present at 50,000 miles and I have contacted carmax to inform them of the issue. This particular problem seems consistent with all models of Hyundai manufactured around 2014. A national recall of the entire line should be considered to alert consumers and avoid unwanted purchases and or damaging accidents.

When making a left turn from a stop or rolling stop and you press hard on the accelerator the engine does not rev up and the hesitation of a second or two can leave you stranded in a lane of traffic.

The car makes a scraping metal noise only when accelerating. Speed is not a factor. Happens each and everytime you accelerate. Hyundai replaced the crank position sensor wheel twice. Hyundai does not know what the problem is and have had my car for almost 2 months!

While driving at 60 mph the vehicle lost rpms and the ability to accelerate. I pulled over safely to the side of the road and called Hyundai roadside assistance. Roadside assistance could not validate my location. I attempted to drive to the next town but rpms stayed from 1000-2000 and I was unable to go over 25 mph.

Hyundai Santa Fe sport. Can start/stop engine in various gear including reverse. Purchased April 10, 2014. After driving my new Hyundai for a week or so, decided to wash it. My habit is to wipe out the hatch and under the hood. Upon opening the hood discovered no coolant in reservoir. Evident there never was any from the factory. Month later replaced back-up camera. 5 months later shifted to reverse navigation system went totally black. Couldn't get service appointment until week and half later. One week to date, after navigation blacked-out while in park and no one inside auto drifted back. Vehicle was damaged. Found Hyundai Santa Fe can start or stop in various gear including reverse which is dangerous. I could never feel safe driving the auto again. Filed complaint with Hyundai motor America eating for resolution.

This is a transmission problem shifting 1-2nd gear, as we slow down to enter our garage and wait for door to open, the car lurches forward with huge amount of force, almost as if we are hit from behind, then it goes into gear and proceeds. Happens almost every day now. I read many consumer blogs saying this is an issue for the Santa Fe models. Definitely a transmission issue.

I purchased a new car, on Feb.1, 2014. The malfunction lamp on the dashboard was lighted up in 1 month. My car was repaired from my dealership several times but the problems are not cleared yet. At last, the very serious problem was happened on Apr. 19. I stepped down fully on the gas pedal on the highway, but my car was not changed in speed. The RPM and speed meter were not changed when I stepped on the pedal perfectly to the end. The staff in service center said that the problem came from the right and left side bolt of high-pressure pump. The right hand side bolt had come apart and left hand side bolt was loose. They didn't know that why this problem was happened. That's my all serious story!
