2006 Hyundai Santa FE Electrical system Problems

“Air bag light keeps coming on and off(every day , several times on a 30-45 mins drive ) on dashboard as I am driving on regular basis .. Seems like airbag won't deploy while light is on , and if there is an accident and light is on I think the driver airbag will not deploy . Hyundai dealers already know the issue and apparently is a bad electric connection on the seat belt click that needs to be replace ... They are willing to diagnose it for $125 .. But many people says the cost of repair is $490 . …”

“I was traveling on I-295 and approximately half mile from the exit I needed, my battery light, brake light came on. When I neared the off ramp and slowed down to 60 MPH, I started to turn the steering wheel and it was unresponsive and I had lost power steering.

“This happens more often than none now. I can be pulling out into traffic of just cruising along when I press gas to go whenall of a sudden the car jerks, looses power! Like its going to stop and stall in one quick second and throws me forward even with my seatbelt on it jerks me I only had it stall one time, so far.

I almost got hit pulling out into traffic because the car lost power and wasn't going anywhere when I had gas peddle pushed. …”

“This complaint is in reference to my 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe. Approximately in the month of may 2010, I began noticing problems with my vehicle's electrical system that were numerous in distinction. To summarize a list of the problems, I will begin with the door locks on the vehicle. During the incident in may 2010, I attempted to unlock my vehicle with the portable lock/unlock/alarm keypad and for some odd reason the pad would only unlock the driver side door. I got in my vehicle and started the car while I ran inside to get some things to bring home with me. …”

“After engine is warm, about 20 minutes later, there is a gurgling in the fuel tank when the key is turned on (before and after the engine is started). I think it is fuel being returned from the engine. I have had it in two different Hyundai service shops, with the fuel pump replaced twice, and a fuel pressure regulator replaced.
