The sub frame that's holding the engine is rusting apart almost missing a huge part of it which is a cause for concern for the safety of me and my children. Especially being that i was never informed of this issue upon purchasing this as a "certified vehicle". Only had it for one year.

Crankshaft harmonic balancer broke apart which caused loss of control: ( of the steering, brakes, lighting, etc. ) the vehicle was in motion at a very low speed while turning into a driveway! Fortunately i was able to immediately stop and shut off the engine which prevented excessive damage from shrapnel. If this occurred at the interstate speeds, it could have proved catastrophic for myself, passengers and other…

Fuel gage always changes levels. Constantly making the low gas light to turn on even after filling the gas tank up at the gas station. Its very dangerous to not know where you gas level is when many use the santa fe as their family car to transport their children. Its been happening the past week

I got a letter for a recall for underbody corrosion preventative care, however when i took to the dealer to get this done, the undercarrige/underbody was already too corroted/damaged and hyundai is not willing to fix it, instead they are trying to offer me $4,800 which will not buy me a new suv car. And this is due to a manufature deffect.

However 10 minutes later while driving 73 mph on the hwy, the "esc off" light came back on and suddenly the front end felt like it was pulling and began to make sort…

While driving, the passenger side sun visor detached and fell, swinging from the electrical wires. Went on line to check this and found many complaints of the same thing happening. Could be very dangerous and there should be a recall. Hyundai dealer ordered a new visor and can replace it, but it shouldn't happen. *tr

The left sun visor broke at the top of the arm and can't be fixed without replacing the whole thing. When i researched it there were humorous complaints. It falls down and hangs in front of my face as i'm trying to drive. It's incredibly dangerous and has almost caused me to be in multiple accidents. I've been dealing with it for a long time as i don't have the $400 that they want to charge me to fix it.

While driving down a busy southern california freeway at 65 mph, the post securing the visor to the headliner broke free, leaving the visor hanging directly in my field of vision. I didn't even touch the visor, it fell from the vibration of traveling down the road. It has happened other times as well, including on a dangerous mountain road.
