While pulling into a parking space at an extremely low speed, foot tapping the brake, the car excelerated (uncommanded) at what appeared to be full throttle. Depressing the brake had little to no effect and the vehicle stopped after hitting a metal pole. The vehicle sustained severe damage and was determined to be a total loss. The airbags did not deploy.

WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30-35 MPH ON CURVY BACK ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR WENT INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HEAD ON COLLISION. AFTERWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL EXHIBITED A POPPING/THUD NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY. DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. THAT TOOK ALMOST A MONTH. THEN THEY REPLACED THE RACK AND THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. THAT STILL DIDN'T FIX THE SOUND. NOW THEY ARE REPLACING A CLOCK SPRING. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG AND ARE JUST THROWING PARTS AT THE CAR HOPING IT'S FIXED. IT'S BEEN 44 DAYS AND GOING ON 3 REPAIRS. HYUNDAI SAYS I DON'T MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A BUYBACK OR EXCHANGE AND HAVE FRANKLY BEEN EXTREMELY RUDE. I WILL NEVER TRUST THIS CAR WITH HOW THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED AND WILL NEVER BE GIVING MY BUSINESS TO THEM AGAIN.

STOPPED THE CAR AT A RED LIGHT AND THE IDLE STOP AND GO (ISG) FEATURE HAS TURNED OFF THE ENGINE... ONCE THE GREEN LIGHT TURNED ON, I PRESSED GAS AND THE ENGINE DID NOT START AND AFTER COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS ALL WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO USE THE KEY TO START THE ENGINE ASWELL. AND SO I HAD TO TURN OFF THE KEY COMPLETELY AND THEN START THE ENGINE... BOUGHT THE CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR AT 38000 MILES IN FEB 2020 AND THIS HAPPENED ONLY ONCE IN AUGUST 2020 AND THE MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 39800 DURING THAT TIME. LUCKILY I HAD ONLY ONE CAR AT MY BACK WHO HONKED ON ME CONTINUOUSLY... I WAS NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AFTERWARDS BUT TO BE HONEST I KEPT ONLY ABOUT 50 MILES SINCE THEN. I AM AFRAID IF I WOULD GET STALLED ONE FINE DAY... AND ALSO AFRAID HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER WOULD JUST SAY NOT REPRODUCIBLE AND MAY JUST SAY TO TURN OFF THE FEATURE MAY BE?

THE ACTIVE LANE KEEP ASSIST MAY WORK INTERMITTENTLY BASED ON MANY CONDITIONS LIKE WEATHER, ROAD, LIGHT, LANE MARKING, ETC... WHEN THE LANE KEEP ASSIST (ACTIVE MODE) IS ENGAGED A GREEN LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD... AND WHEN IT DISENGAGES THE GREEN LIGHT JUST TURNS OFF... AND NO SOUND/BEEP WARNING HAPPENS... AND I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT THERE WOULD BE NO BEEP/SOUND/ALERT WHEN THE LANE KEEP ASSIST DIS ENGAGES AND YOU STILL SAY THAT THE DRIVER IS ACCOUNTABLE/RESPONSIBLE. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS FLAW AS A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE NOTE THAT NO INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT HAPPENED BUT RAISING THIS COMPLAINT SO THIS CAN BE REVIEWED.

MY VEHICLE APPLIES THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY ROADS WHEN NOTHING IS IN MY PATH. I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF IT AND HYUNDAI HAS NO RESOLUTION. THEN ALSO MY VEHICLE HAS LANE ASSIST AND THE COMPUTER FOUGHT ME STEERING THE WHEEL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. HYUNDAI REPLACED STEERING COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE BUT DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED SO THEY NEVER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE TRIED TO GO TO HYUNDAI ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT BASICALLY THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT OUR MONEY WE PAY AND NOT OUR SAFETY.

AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE COMPUTER HAS ATTEMPTED TO PULL THE CAR OUT OF THE LANE INTO THE ADJOINING LANE AS IF IN ATTEMPT TO AVOID SOMETHING. THIS IS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED'S ABOUT SIX TIMES. VEHICLE ALSO AT ONE TIME APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AS THE VEHICLE IS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AS AN EMERGENCY STOP. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THE REPRESENTATIVE IMMEDIATELY SUGGESTED THAT THERE WAS A RODENT PROBLEM. THIS WAS CONFIRMED NOT TO BE THE CASE.AS THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY OTHER COMPUTER MESSAGING THE TECHNICIAN SUGGESTED THAT MAYBE IT WAS THE CALIFORNIA FASTRACK RESPONDER UNIT. THEY SUGGESTED IT BE RELOCATED WHICH I DID. THE PROBLEM LIES THAT YOU'RE NOT SURE THAT THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND THE SUGGESTION 'TO DRIVE IT TO SEE IF IT REPEATED' AS IT DOES NOT SOUND PRUDENT FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE. THE COMPUTER PULLS AT A HARD LEVEL WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN THE LANE AND IT SUDDENLY RELEASES THE PULLING WHICH JERKS THE CAR BACK INTO THE DRIVING LANE MUCH LIKE AN OVER CORRECTION. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY QUITE DANGEROUS AND I WOULD SUGGEST SOMETHING ELSE IS DONE TO EITHER CONFIRM OR DISAPPROVE THE RESPONDER ISSUE AS THESE RESPONDERS ARE COMMON AND IT WAS PLACED PER THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE FASTRACK.

I HAD RENTED A HYUNDAI SANTE FE IN SEPTEMBER 2019. I HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW WEEKS WITH NO ISSUES UNTIL I DROVE OVER THE MOUNTAINS. I HAD PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND WAS LOOKING TO PARK, COASTING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT, I THEN BACKED UP AND FOUND A PARKING SPOT. I WAS TURNING RIGHT IN AT A VERY SLOW SPEED, A VIRTUAL CRAWL INTO A PARKING SPACE WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SUDDENLY REVS ITS ENGINE AND BEGAN ACCELERATING OUT OF CONTROL JUMPING OVER THE FRONT PARKING CURB AND SLAMMING INTO A CHAIN LINK FENCE. THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP, I PUMPED THE BRAKES TO STOP AND WHEN IT WOULD NOT STOP, I QUICK SLAMMED THE VEHICLE INTO THE PARK POSITION TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM HITTING A TRACKER AND CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE OR INJURY. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE AGENT AND THEN I CONTACTED ENTERPRISE RENTAL COMPANY IN BEND OREGON. I WAS ON HOLD FOR ROUGHLY 30 MIN. I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS THEY KNEW OF AND THEY ADVISED ME TO CONTACT THEIR TOW COMPANY AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THE AIRPORT IN REDMOND OREGON TO SWITCH OUT THE VEHICLES. I RESEARCHED ON MY OWN AND FOUND THAT THEIR WAS A SIMILAR INCIDENT IN LAS VEGAS, NV REPORTED IN JANUARY 31ST, 2018. THIS INCIDENT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE ISG MAY BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN THIS CASE.

I AM NOT SURE WHAT CATEGORY THIS SHOULD BE IN BUT MY 2019 HYUNDAI SANTA FE HESITATES WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN I AM ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP BUT ALSO HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY WHEN I AM GOING AROUND A CORNER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT HAS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN TURNING ON TO A BUSY STREET OR MERGING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY. AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I SEE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE.

WHEN SITTING AT RED LIGHTS, THE ENGINE COMPLETLEY SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TO PUSH THE PUSH START AT LEAST 10 TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL RESTART. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. I'M WORRIED I WILL GET STRANDED. I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE IT WITH HYUNDAI SERVICE, BUT TO MY UNDERSTANDING THEY DO NOT OFFER RENTALS. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 16000 MILES WHEN THIS ISSUE BEGAN. I PAID 38000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND NOW TO MY UNDERSTANDING, TO HAVE IT SERVICED I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL. MY SAFELY SHOULD BE MORE OF A CONCERN. HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA SHOULD BE VERY CONCERNED. THEY SHOULD HAVE REQUESTED A TOW AND OFFERED A RENTAL AS SOON AS I MENTIONED THIS ISSUE!!! NO, INSTEAD I HAVE TO LEAVE IT AT THE DEALER IN HOPES THE ISSUE IS FOUND QUICKLY, SO I DON'T RUN UP A HUGE RENTAL BILL PLUS PAY MY MONTHLY CAR NOTE. WHAT IF MY VEHICLE JUST SHUTS DOWN GOING 65 ON THE FREEWAY? WILL I HAVE BRAKING POWER? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I COULD BE IN MAJOR DANGER.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 11/11/2019 WHEN MY 2019 HYUNDAI SANTA FE HAD A SIGNIFICANT FAILURE OF THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. THE TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME BRAKED SUDDENLY AFTER TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE WARNING DID NOT SOUND AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, ABS DID NOT ACTIVATE AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. NONE OF THE THREE STAGES OF THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ACTIVATED. THE MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE BRAKES TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE COLLISION OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 10MPH. THERE WAS OVER $12,000 DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE SANTA FE BUT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE DRIVEN OVER 1,000,000 COLLISION-FREE MILES IN VARIOUS VEHICLES, WITH AND WITHOUT COLLISION AVOIDANCE. THIS ACCIDENT WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED BUT FOR THE MALFUNCTION OF THE CAS. I REPORTED THIS TO HYUNDAI USA. I TOOK MORE THAN ONE WEEK FOR A REPLY. HYUNDAI'S POSITION WAS THAT THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE BUT IT WOULD MEAN THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE FOR 10 WEEKS OR MORE, WITHOUT A TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION WITH HYUNDAI.

PLEASE FOLLOW UP THE ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR AND MAKE SURE THE COMPENSATION MAKE TO PEOPLE WHO SUFFER FROM INCIDENT NOT THE ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR, AND IF THEY SEND A COMPENSATION TO OWNER (RENTAL CAR), THEY WILL FORWARD IT TO ME.

I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2019 SANTA FE ULTIMATE 2.0T LEASED IN AUGUST WITH 1600 MILES AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE CAR IN TWICE WHERE THEY HAVE HAD TO RECALIBRATED THE TRANSMISSION. WHENEVER I WAS AT A STOP OR WAITING TO MAKE A TURN I WOULD PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPMS WOULD GO UP BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR AND MOVE WITH THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT INTO GEARS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A BRAND NEW CAR! LOOKING AT DIFFERENT MODELS THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY MY CAR BECAUSE IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP. THEY FIX IT AND IT WORKS FOR A WEEK OR SO AND THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG! I WAS TOLD IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEN THEY WILL CALL THE MAIN HEADQUARTERS. THEY SHOULD BE DOING THAT ALREADY TO FIND OUT HOW TO FIX IT ONCE AND FOR ALL SO I DON'T HAVE TO KEEP COMING BACK. I HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS MATTER.

AFTER DRIVING MY SANTE FE FOR LITTLE OVER 1000 MILES, I WAS WAITING BEHIND SEVERAL VEHICLES AT A STOP LIGHT IN HYATTSVILLE AND MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WOULDN'T START. AFTER TRYING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES, IT FINALLY STARTED. I DROVE TO THE NEXT STOP LIGHT AND HAD TO STOP AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THIS HAPPEN TWO MORE TIMES AND THEN FINALLY IT STARTED AND I DROVE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN GAITHERSBURG (FITZGERALD AUTO MALL). I REPORTED THE INCIDENT AND THEY CLAIM TO BE UNABLE TO RECAPITULATE THE INCIDENCE. AT AROUND 5014 MILES, WHEN I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT IN DC, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN AND WOULD RESTART. THE COPS CAME AND PUSH ME OUT OF THE ROAD AND I WAS THEN ABLE TO RESTART. I DROVE TO THE NEXT STOP LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN AND WOULD START. EVENTUALLY, THE VEHICLE STARTED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES. I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PERFORMANCE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICE AND GIVEN BACK TO ME. THE FOLLOWING DAY DRIVING ON GERMANTOWN ROAD THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN AT A STOP LIGHT. I CALL THE DEALER AND THEY ASKED THAT I TAKE IT BACK THE NEXT DAY. ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN. I TOOK BACK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM THAT I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE ANYMORE AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE IT. THE MATTER WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO REFUSE TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE AND OFFER $500 COMPENSATION FOR MY INCONVENIENCE WHICH I REFUSE TO ACCEPT. I AM SEEKING YOUR ASSISTANCE TO THIS ISSUE. P.S. I DO HAVE PICTURE OF THE INFORMATION THAT WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENCE AND MY NIECE WAS WITH ME ON TWO OF THOSE OCCASIONS.
