ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I am unsure what component of the engine caused the issue. There was chance of engine failure while driving. While idle the engine was stuttering and the RPN dial was fluctuating. Engine persisted to stutter and jerk at random intervals when accelerating. The engine light came on flashing ~1 hour after the first sign of the issue. Immediately after the engine light came on the vehicle was moved off of the road and a tow truck was contacted to transport the vehicle to a Hyundai dealership. The vehicle was inspected at a manufacturer's dealership and the problem was resolved with a technician stating that the vehicle needed a "system update". There is also an ongoing issue with the vehicle excessively consuming oil.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Excessive engine oil consumption. The vehicle oil consumption is beyond my control, currently I am afraid to embark on vacation driving to friends or on vacation in other states. Low engine oil can result in engine overheating and fire, thus endangering life, family and property. I am currently adding oil every 14 days to ensure the engine is at a safe operating level for my own safety. I am requesting a one time manufacture's assistance to remedy this defective.

Potential Consequences:
I have had this car since Sept 2023, it had about 85,000 miles when I got it. Before I had even owned it for a year and before it had 100,000 miles it was burning oil at an alarming rate! I took it to my dealership which did a consumption test and told me to bring it to Hyundai. Hyundai did their own oil consumption test which results proved my car was burning 3 quarts of oil in under 1,000 miles. Hyundai refused to do anything about it as well as the dealership I bought the car from (they say it is a Hyundai problem) I have spoken to corporate who refuse to fix it because I bought it out of warranty, which I was unaware of at the time I bought it. I am a single mother who has to work full time to support my family, my car has died numerous times and I am buying oil about once a week, I have had to call out of work due to it dying and it has died with my children in the car as well. I am afraid to drive it because I know it will die and I will be stranded but unfortunately I have no other options. It is a complete safety hazard and I can not trade or refinance because even tho I havent had it 2 years, I owe more than it is worth in value.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Bought my vehicle as second owner and 1 1/2 years into financing I discovered the piston rings are failing which is causing to much oil consumption. It’s burning oil to fast - in three weeks my car has burned through three quarts of oil. I do my regular oil changes as recommended and already change the gasket. If I have not checked my oil I would never had a clue. I am currently doing my oil changes because the dealer shops were not nor even knew of the burning oil issue. How does one car burn that much oil in three weeks. My extended warranty has exited and now my engine is failing. My vehicle was not included in the class action settlement. I am a teacher with children and don’t have the money to buy a new car let alone fix the engine. The vehicle has rough idling at times and doesn’t have the power to go sometimes. It’s failing quicker than I could imagine.

Car stopped running 4 months ago and had it towed to the shop and they did a Knock sensor update and sent us back with it. 4 months later check engine light comes on and take it in and they recommend a new engine and this car has a class action and they’re saying we don’t qualify. They’re saying it’s the piston rings. The car burns oil like crazy. Over 5 quarts in 2,500 miles consistently and the oil light never comes on. I have 2 kids that ride in this car for it to just die or for the engine to start fire is a risk I am not willing to take.

Potential Consequences:
While driving my vehicle, the check engine light came on, and the engine entered limp mode, severely reducing power and acceleration. This presented a significant safety risk while traveling on the highway, especially during lane changes and merges. The issue was later diagnosed by a certified Hyundai dealer as Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1326, which relates to the knock sensor detecting potential engine bearing wear. The dealer confirmed this issue and performed related inspection work under Hyundai’s Service Campaign T3G. No prior warning signs appeared before the incident. Hyundai has issued a known campaign for this issue, but no recall appeared under my VIN at the time. I incurred rental and rideshare costs due to the vehicle being held at the dealer for several days. This condition severely impacts the drivability and safety of the vehicle.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
This model engine is a common complaint easily found by quick internet searches. They have recalled SOME models, but not all. This car uses EXTREME amounts of oil. It is not normal. I have not had a car in my 38 years of driving that used anything even close. I do not have any leaks. This car requires 1 quart of oil every 500-700 miles. This is horrible for maintenance. It is very dangerous to an unsuspecting buyer. I found out about this when my engine light came on and to my surprise the oil was about empty after an oil change when I first purchased the car. This was only about 6 weeks in to having the vehicle! This is also horrible for the environment, expensive, and messy. Hyundai should be held accountable. The oil consumption is due to an engine defect that is not directly related to their current Lifetime limited warranty for connected bearing rods.

I went to get my oil changed, and I've noticed that not even 2week after the oil change the truck is 2 or 2 1\2 quarts low on oil. So, I was wondering if you have any other problems with this truck and the oil. The Santa Fe isn't linking any fluids under it.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I was driving to work when I heard a loud knocking noise in my engine shortly after beginning my trip. My vehicle then lost all acceleration power as I was making a left turn at a light. Then, the check engine and oil pressure warning lights activated simultaneously. Had the driver behind me not been maintaining a safe following distance, I certainly would have been rear-ended. After having the vehicle towed to a mechanic approved by my insurance company, I was told that the issue was possible engine failure. There were no warning lights or symptoms before this issue arose, and I still had 400 miles before I was due for another oil change.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
At approximately 65,000 miles the car started using excessive amounts of oil in the crankcase. I visited the local Hyundai dealer who changed my oil and began monitoring the condition. I was instsructed to come back to the dealer every 1,000 miles for an oil top off and to report the consumption. On the third visit, the engine is now using approximately 2 quarts of oil in 1,000-1,100 miles. Extremely excessive. I inquired about a warranty claim but was denied since I was the second owner. Yet, Hyundai acknowledges problems with this engine and have established broader coverage for engine problems stemming from the rod bearing which includes coverage for the second owner. The high oil consumption underscores another problem with this horrible engine, and high oil consumption should be included in a recall and repairs.

On the third visit, the engine is now using approximately 2 quarts of oil in 1,000-1,100 miles. Extremely excessive. I inquired about a warranty claim but was denied since I was the second owner. Yet, Hyundai acknowledges problems with this engine and have established broader coverage for engine problems stemming from the rod bearing which includes coverage for the second owner. The high oil consumption underscores another problem with this horrible engine, and high oil consumption should be included in a recall and repairs.

Defect Description:
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
My ABS and Traction Control lights keep going off, intermittently. They have been doing it for several years.It can be for hours or for days. I took a video of it happening a couple years ago, and photos, also. More recently my speedometer has started jumping. I had the ABS recall performed when it was first implemented. When I've taken my vehicle to Hyundai (twice now specifically for this) they say they can see no codes and will do nothing. From what I have read on the ABS recall, this is what are the symptoms of it. I am under the impression that I have somehow gotten a defective part, even when they did the recall. The recall was that it could cause an engine fire. Today driving home, for a second, downhill, the oil light came on for a second-then went off. I came home and parked. My husband checked. He said there is no oil in the car. That, I imagine is part of the other engine issue this model has. But you would think the oil light would come on sooner and STAY on. He is going to get some oil and then take it to a shop when he gets off work. My main concern is getting the ABS/speedometer fixed as I believe it is from the first recall. The second issue-that is probably a Hyundai "recognized" issue. They just keep telling me nothing is wrong with the ABS/speedometer though. I have photos spanning several year, it falls in line with the recalled issue. Just replace the part already. The last date I went to Hyundai was Monday last week, so I'll put that as the incident date, as I was there for the ABS/speedometer. I had to drive an hour each way to see them twice now to be told they can't do anything. Today the oil light came on.
