My 2009 hyundai santa fe has stalled more than 4 times while driving since 2010. It loses power without warning rendering the vehicle unsafe and not able to be driven. The first time in 2010 it stopped while on the exit ramp of a highway doing about 50 mph. The car was brought to the dealership and they "could not duplicate the problem" so they did nothing. Brought same vehicle back to dealership in 2011, 2014 and…

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…

While driving on the highway the driver side visor fell out of the ceiling as if the wires were cut in half in the hole that held the visor in place. I did not have an accident due to the sudden event but i have barely been able to see while driving early in the mornings or late in the evenings when the sun is low in the sky and shining directly through the window.

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…

First problem, gas gauge stopped working. Fluctuated up and down, then would read empty right after filling the tank. Had to have 2 sensors and fuel pump changed. Very expensive!! Now the car stalls when slowing down. Every morning when i leave for work it stalls at least once, it has started back up, but this morning the motor felt very groggy and i did not feel safe in driving it anymore. Took it home. I've…

2009 hyundai santa fe v6 3.3 liter has experienced occasional, random stalling over a few years, always while braking and often while turning. The problem seems to happen after a period of steady speed driving and then slowing down and turning. When this happens, the vehicle steering instantly gets very difficult and braking ability likewise becomes increasingly difficult. After putting the vehicle in neutral, or…

Paint comes off the car in large pieces that, if raining, will stick to windshield of the car and the car behind you, while driving. This blocks the visibility out of the front of the windshield and causes wiper problems as the large pieces get stuck to them. Again this will happen while driving in the rain. The large piece of paint will still come off during normal driving, but the safety concern is while driving…

While driving the vehicle and turning onto a side street the engine shut off. There was no indication as to what happened, no check engine light and no error codes showed up. This is apparently a problem hyundai is aware of and there is a class action lawsuit pending however it only covers model years 2010-2012.

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! Again my greatest fear…

Only 85k miles on the hyundai used for normal driving. The fuel gauge/sensors have begun acting erratic. Filled the gas tank and gauge showed full. Very next morning gauge down to a quarter tank. Purchased gas and only needed 3 gallons. Fuel gauge all over the place and not measuring gas correctly. Creates an unsafe condition as driver does not reliably know how much fuel is available. Many issues like this…

We were exiting west bound i-10 in pensacola, fl, and when turning right onto the surface road at slow speed the engine died and we lost power including steering and brakes. We were able to pull off of the road into a restaurant parking lot and restart the car, but had a close call with suddenly reduced speed in merging traffic. This is the second time this has happened to us in this car. The first incident was in…

On march 24, 2010, my co-worker and i were in my 2009 hyundai santa fe when it suddenly accelerated. I pushed the brake to the floor and it would not slow down. I then put on the emergency brake. Both feet were extended to the floor holding these brakes down. The car did slow down but would not stop. I had to take a left turn across the highway (there was fortunately a break in the traffic), i put the car in park…
