THE CAR NEEDS CONTINUOUS STEERING CORRECTING JUST TRYING TO TRAVEL IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE CAR WILL DART FRONT RIGHT TO LEFT AT VARYING DEGREES OF INTENSITY. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH LESS THAN 500 MILES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALER CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT BUT FOUND NO ISSUES WITH IT. AS DESCRIBED BY OTHERS, THE CAR BEHAVES AS IF IT HAD WORN OUT BALL JOINTS, HOWEVER IT IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I HAD THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE, BUT AFTER TEST DRIVING ANOTHER SANTAFE SPORT AWD AND READING ONLINE REVIEWS FROM PLACES SUCH AS EDMUNDS.COM AND NUMEROUS OWNER COMMUNITY FORUMS BY SIMPLY SEARCHING "SANTA FE WANDERING", IT APPEARS THAT A VAST NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS TERRIFYING ANOMALY. THIS ISSUE MAKES ME FEEL INCREDIBLY UNSAFE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ESPECIALLY WHEN PASSING TRAFFIC OR NEXT TO OTHER VEHICLES AS THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

hyundai santa fe 2014 Complaints

STEERING

drove new 2014 santa fe sport 2.0t for the first time on the highway after buying it 3 days earlier. the vehicle would not maintain a straight path while driving at highway speed. sf required continuous correction at a varying degree. it is not only that the vehicle wonders, but it does so mildly and aggressively. the vehicle tends to sway and rock all while trying to correct for the continuous wondering. it's a very odd sensation that occurs, just when you think you might go straight for a bit the vehicle will dart to one side and it has no rhythm or reason. sometimes left sometimes right and the road crown plays no part in the direction. dealer aligned all 4 wheels twice. added toe in and camber to the rear. also, replaced rear springs and shocks. turns out one of the springs was shorter than the other by 1/4" causing the suspension to be unbalanced. this repair helped for some of the unexplained rocking but now that it is fixed the whole steering issue has been exacerbated. i don't feel safe in the vehicle and intend on selling it. currently, it has 11k miles. i logged another complaint with hyundai customer service today too. the fact that potential buyers rarely get to drive the new car for more than 7-10 miles and at speeds rarely above city is a disservice. if hyundai knows this problem exists and government oversight knows, than it is deceitful and dishonest. lastly, this vehicle behaves in the same manner as one with worn out ball joints that would not pass a state safety inspection. yet these santa fes are still being sold. it's a wolf in sheep's clothing. buyer beware!

2014 santafe sport awd - the car wanders excessively at highway speeds and the problem becomes worse as the speed increases. the car needs continuous steering correcting just trying to travel in a straight line. the car will dart front right to left at varying degrees of intensity. the car was taken to the dealership with less than 500 miles to address this issue and the dealer checked the alignment but found no issues with it. as described by others, the car behaves as if it had worn out ball joints, however it is a brand new vehicle. i had thought that this was an isolated issue with my vehicle, but after test driving another santafe sport awd and reading online reviews from places such as edmunds.com and numerous owner community forums by simply searching "santa fe wandering", it appears that a vast number of people are experiencing this terrifying anomaly. this issue makes me feel incredibly unsafe driving on the highway especially when passing traffic or next to other vehicles as the car does not want to drive in a straight line.

i purchased a new car, on feb.1, 2014. the malfunction lamp on the dashboard was lighted up in 1 month. my car was repaired from my dealership several times but the problems are not cleared yet. at last, the very serious problem was happened on apr. 19. i stepped down fully on the gas pedal on the highway, but my car was not changed in speed. the rpm and speed meter were not changed when i stepped on the pedal perfectly to the end. the staff in service center said that the problem came from the right and left side bolt of high-pressure pump. the right hand side bolt had come apart and left hand side bolt was loose. they didn't know that why this problem was happened. that's my all serious story!

i was driving east to an ave, but another driver hit me on the passenger side. when the driver hit my car we spinned half way. the passenger sitting on the passenger side got hurt on her arm. the accident was sort of big. the car door on passenger side and the door behind the passenger was dented in. getting hit that hard should have deployed the airbag and the hyundai emergency calling system. however none of them were working when the car was hit. according to hyundai they have more airbags than any other companies but even though they have more, the airbag didnt deploy which made the passengers arm get hurt. also the drivers knee got hurt even though there was a so called "airbag." hyundai santa fe did not do what is meant for its safety.

failure to accelerate from a full stop with accelerator petal partially or fully depressed. malfunction occurred three times and persisted each time for between one and a half mile on two occasions and for one half mile on one occasion. on july 11, 2014 automobile was left with dealer for warranty repair of the malfunction and has remained there as of this date, august 3, 2014, with no repairs having been done. this is a very serious malfunction and could quite easily result in an accident with serious safety consequences. this is a new vehicle with only 1100 miles on it. the malfunction has occurred randomly during routine driving followed by a return to normal operation of the vehicle after driving the distances noted above.. all three instances occurred after making a left hand turn from a full stop. vehicle slowly increased speed without any appropriate response from accelerator position. driver had petal fully depressed in one instance and tried flooring and pumping the petal in two others with no response.

panoramic sunroof, the section of glass that opens, exploded while driving 70 mph down the interstate. there were no cars within 1/4 mile of me, and no overhead bridges, so nothing hit the roof, it just exploded. in fact, looking from the exterior, it is clear that the glass blew outward, because the perimeter of the whole is convex facing outward, and most all of the glass, including the wind guard were blown onto the highway. the upholstery liner was ripped as well. so thankful that i was by myself, and that my 8 year old daughter and wife were not in the car. in my mind, this is clearly a manufacturer's defect. could you imagine if a windshield were to do this?? you never hear that happening, so they are obviously cutting corners on these sunroof panels. hyundai is repairing it for free, but i will always be paranoid about it happening again.

STEERING

car wonders when traveling on freeway going at freeway speeds. correcting for this darting from side to side seems scary at these speeds. changing the driving mode selection on the steering wheel doesn't change the problem. i still experience the same wondering and darting that i am constantly trying to correct. thought it might be tires but they are new and no signs of unusual wear. acts like a worn ball joint or tie rod or the need for an alignment.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

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.
