2009 Hyundai Santa FE Other or unknown Problems

“When I first tested the car I mentioned to the sales person that I thought it was pulling to the right. He convinced me it wasn't. On 7/31/19 I purchased 4 new tires and had a wheel alignment. I took it back for adjustments to the alignment 3 times before the covid outbreak (twice before january). It is now majorly veering to the right and I have to keep it from going that way when driving. I don't drive far to work which is why it wasn't as much of a problem before.”

“I noticed that when I was in park, the car would just shut off. This happened three times within a few week's time. I was concerned and wondered if the car would ever just shut off while I was driving on the freeway or a busy street. To my horror, it happened! A few days ago I was turning into a parking lot and the car just shut off!...there was a car behind me that came to a screeching halt! …”

“Takata recall my 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe, at approximately 110 miles, developed a problem, which actually results in a serious/safety problem. The problem is with the fuel system fuel gauge displaying the correct amount of fuel available in the tank. I don't know if the problem is with the fuel pumps, or the fuel sensing units in the gas tanks, or with the wiring between the gas tank and the gas gauge, or with the gas gauge itself. It doesn't matter if the vehicle is stationary or moving nor if the vehicle is slanted at an angle. …”

“There has been numerous instances when my vehicle has a full tank and during driving the gauge suddenly indicate an empty tank. The check engine light comes on on further investigation I have discovered that this is a common issue with this make vehicle. I am afraid of travelling I believe that this issue needs to be investigated as it could cause a safety issue for drivers who make the assumption that this is only a sensor problem and continue driving and suddenly stall in the middle of the road.”

“I purchased this car used in 2011. Over the years, at random times, the radio will pop off and back on again. It doesn't seem to affect the rest of the electrical system in the car, but it's a little scary when it happens - mechanic can't replicate. Now, twice in the last week, my car has stalled while slowing down, once on a multi-lane street and once after decelerating coming off the expressway (complete loss of power, steering, brakes, etc). I put the car in neutral and it started right back up, but this has happened in heavy traffic and scared the cr*p out of me! …”
