NHTSA complaint #10417750, filed 2011-08, 55,400 miles“I have also had this problem on my 2007 Santa Fe limited (the airbag indicator and the alarm sounding for no reason at the same time). They both started happening at the same time. I have the airbag indicator illuminated in the lower right hand corner of the dashboard control panel. I took it to the dealership on this past monday (23 june 2008) and they were able to see the error code. But could not determine what the actual problem is. So they cleared the error code, changed the oil, and washed it. The dealership told me to come back if it happens again. …”
NHTSA complaint #10232262, filed 2008-06“The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign id number 08v272000 (equipment:other:labels). He purchased the vehicle for the towing package that was included. The recall repairs would change the amount of weight the vehicle was allotted to tow. The initial label incorrectly lists the gross axle weight ratings. The initial weight ratings were 2,976 for the front and 3,197 for the rear. The new rating labels would drop the weight to 2,910 for the front and 3,131 for the rear, causing conflict with the equipment weight needing to be towed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10241997, filed 2008-09, 29,000 miles“Three major complaints. At 18,000 miles the top seal of the engine had to be replaced, repaired under warranty. At 21,000 mile the rear brake calipers had to be repaired for sticking and pads replaced at owners expense. Owner told by dealership the cause was probably from salt used to treat road surfaces during snow removal . Hyundai refused warranty claim and would not admit improper materials used for braking system. At 27,000 miles, multiple visits to dealership for repair of inoperating turn signals. …”
