The hyundai sonata engines have been recalled for safety concerns because they can stall at any time. The santa fe sports have the same engines but have not been recalled. Mine did just this. Luckily i was on a quiet road with no one behind me.

As i climbed up the ramp the car wouldn't accelerate and finally stopped 40 yards after the steering wheel went loose. I had no control over the speed after the steering wheel went loose since i could not accelerate. I learned the engine just stopped working. Based on what i've read this has happened to others with sante fes on…

The car makes a scraping metal noise only when accelerating. Speed is not a factor. Happens each and everytime you accelerate. Hyundai replaced the crank position sensor wheel twice. Hyundai does not know what the problem is and have had my car for almost 2 months!

This is a transmission problem shifting 1-2nd gear, as we slow down to enter our garage and wait for door to open, the car lurches forward with huge amount of force, almost as if we are hit from behind, then it goes into gear and proceeds. Happens almost every day now. I read many consumer blogs saying this is an issue for the santa fe models. Definitely a transmission issue. *tr

It will hardly go until you stop turn the engine off then restart it at which point it resets and regains its power as before. I am concerned this is very similar to the recalls that are occurring currently with this car but they stop recalls for the…
