ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:DRIVER MONITORING:CAMERA/SENSOR

Potential Consequences:

The Forward Attention Warning device located on the steering column (camera) cannot be disengaged. This device does not allow me to wear dark or polarized sunglasses, which I need since I have eye issues. This is a safety issue for me and others, especially since I am [XXX] [XXX] and there are times when the visor doesn't cover the sun. You can 'disengage' it in the Driver Assistance settings but it does not stop the warnings nor does it stop it from disengaging your cruise control. If you look to the side of the vehicle, look up to pull the visor down, or wear polarized or dark sunglasses, it will also shut off your cruise control. I have taken the vehicle in to the Gainesville GA Hyundai and told them about this issue but they have said that there is no fix for this. BTW -- there are a bunch of posts on Reddit about this issue. This problem isn't a failure of the system, it is a design flaw. I noticed it on the day I bought the vehicle. Now, it is an annoyance to the point that I am looking at buying a new vehicle. I have only had the vehicle a year....not happy.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Since buying this vehicle I have had problems with shaking while braking… specifically while going at a higher speed downhills. At 3000 miles I took it in and they shaved down my rotors and stated it would need to be replaced if it didn’t fix it. The problem continued, when I would bring it to the dealership they would deny being able to replicate the problem. Upon searching on Reddit I saw that others are having problems with their rotors on their Santa Fe prematurely needing replacement. This has been a problem since I bought the car and I feel like it’s a significant safety problem that Hyundai will not cover under warranty.

I purchased a brand new 2024 santa fe xrt back in March of 2024. And around December my front end started shaking and I had bad vibrations in my front in when I was finally able to get it into the hyundai dealership in January they told me it was my front 2 rotors where warped my vehicle only has 13k miles and shouldn't have rotor issuses. Even though it was covered under warranty all the dealership did was resurface the rotors and said the vibration is gone. They also said if it does it again just to bring it back but a new vehicle shouldn't have warped rotor issues with less than 15k miles.

The transmission is the problem that caused the vehicle to downshift while driving and resulted is a sudden jerk and slowdown in speed. My safety was at risk as the car slowed down suddenly and almost caused the vehicle behind me to rear end my vehicle. But luckily the other driver was able to stop. I previously brought the vehicle to Hyundai service (12/12/24) and they indicated that they couldn’t replicate the problem and there was no situation. The vehicle will be brought to the aforementioned service center again to check the situation (1/07/25). There were no warning the first time it happened, as mentioned earlier and after the second incident the car displayed the message that occurred the first time again which I have attached.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

When I first start my car for the day, I get an error message, which says transmission error get transmission checked immediately. I’m unable to put my car into gear and when I try to go forward the transmission acts as if insufficient transmission fluid and does not accelerate properly and go into gear. I went to a Hyundai dealer in October 2024!to get the car serviced. The Hyundai dealer flushed the transmission system For a while I no longer got the transmission error message on the dash. A few weeks later I had the transmission error again and the car would not go into gear. I took the car in for a second time to be serviced by Hyundai dealer They said that they reset the software. About a week later I got the transmission error message again, along with the difficulty of engage in the transmission. The workaround I had for this was to turn the car off and turn it back on again and that would get rid of the transmission error message until the next day. I plan to take my car in to a Hyundai dealer this week and report to them that I’ve been having this transmission error message almost daily for the last week. This problem makes the car feel unreliable, and it is a potential safety risk to not be able to accelerate and change gear when operating the vehicle. The car also lurches foreard slightly after parking and turning off thr ignition.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

On December4th 2024 my car rolled forward into a barrier post. I stopped to get air in my tires and the Parking Allert went off as I got near the barrier post. I then parked my car. I left my car running and driver door partially opened. I dropped the valve cap between the spokes of the last tire being filled. So, I got into the car and backed up about three feet to get the cap. Parked the car got out and it rolled forward into the barrier post. I was completely out of the car but just by my driver door. I tried to get back in but it was too quick. Subsequently, I drove to work to let my supervisor know i would need time to go to the dealership. I was concerned air bags would deploy since that didnt happen. Also because the car didnt stop on its own felt the integrity of systems were questionable. So, I repeated the steps at work like the incident. Except, I stayed in the car. The car beeped and the dash said Shift to P when my door was open and placing in drive and reverse. I NEVER got any indications of such when the car hit the barrier. I found the two DTC's that showed on my Hyundai App were related to DTC U110387 and U110382. I had 99 miles on the car having purchased it with 15 miles on it. The original date of these DTCs is Aug 27th, 2024, with a last reported Aug 30, 2024. I see recalls 24V529000 and 24V246000. I don't know if they are related. but this has to be addressed. My car is at the dealership being repaired and my insurance rate will no doubt go up and the value of my car down. This isnt right.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

My vehicle was in for repairs at both a collision shop and a dealership following a minor accident. When I got the vehicle back, I found that the seat controls were not working, preventing me from moving the seat backward or forward. During a test drive, the car lost power despite the gas pedal being fully pressed; it wouldn't accelerate and then suddenly jerked forward. This could have caused an accident if I had been on a busy highway. Further testing revealed an abnormal noise at 1500 RPM in multiple gears. The vehicle has been towed back to the dealership, but there's no word yet on when it will be fixed. Hyundai has been contacted multiple times, as the car has been awaiting parts and undergoing repairs for over four months. They don't seem to be taking these safety issues seriously nor helpful in resolving the issue.
