Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I bought my Santa Fe in 2008, with 12,000 miles on it. I've had to replace a gas pedal switch, gear shift switch, gas gauge switch, driver's seat switch, two batteries replaced, the driver's visor hung down, both hydraulics lifts gate replace, backseat left side door lock replace and still doesn't work right and of course the ESC light problems. All the problems started in january 2015.”
NHTSA complaint #10821132, filed 2016-01, 60,000 miles“Please note that my air bag sensor light for the passenger front seat is on and I have had the light reset more than several times. When driving the light will go on again and again. I have the dealer look at this problem twice and they have reset the light and that did not work. On 4.26.2016 the dealer took the seat out and cleaned all of the connections and sealed with connecter sealant. The dealer stated on the bill that if the light comes on again then they will have to order a front seat assembly. The light came back on 4.26.2016 three hours later. …”
NHTSA complaint #10861682, filed 2016-04“According to the manual for my 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe, for maximum safety the middle of the head restraint should be at eye level. As a service advisor at a Hyundai dealership has verified, the post notches enable the midpoint to come up only as high as my mouth--far below the recommended height. I am 6'3, not extraordinarily tall. Hyundai's consumer affairs office said on jan. 16 that since the vehicle is functioning as designed, there was nothing the automaker would do even though the vehicle is providing me less head and neck support than recommended by the company's own manual.”
NHTSA complaint #10215145, filed 2008-01“The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. While parked, the contact noticed that the front driver's seat would not retract when pressing the power seat switch. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.”
