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.

The contact owns a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine seized. In addition, when the vehicle was restarted, the taillights were inoperable. The contact stated that only the front lights were operable. The contact stated that when the failure occurred, it was nighttime and on a busy dark road. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with failed rear toe hitch harness and that the vehicle needed to be re-wired and the toe hitch needed to be removed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 57,720.
Failed oil pressure sensor which was leaking oil through the wiring harness; could have caused a fire from oil dripping on exhaust system. Oil pressure sensors should only fail electrically, not from allowing high pressure oil to leak out. Dealer states there have been some cases where the oil flowed through the wiring harness to the vehicle ECU, rendering a severe problem in controlling the vehicle. Dealer repair invoice attached. Besides the oil pressure sensor the wiring assembly had to be replaced from the oil contamination.
6 months after I purchase a brand new 2018 Santa Fe grande my vehicle start cutting off when I turn the wheel a certain way I reported it to the company it will not detect on the machines so they cannot fix it so I'm stuck with a car that continue to cut off and nobody knows why
I called the dealership to report a hot smell in my car on Tuesday. They told me to bring it in for service inspection. Thursday morning the car was driven for a short time and parked in the drive way after. Approximately two hours to two and a half hours later the car cab was full of smoke. The fire department and sheriffs department both arrived on scene.
