Park N Fly Mississauga Canada. Vehicle in parked position. Vehicle reversed from position and driven for 50-75 feet. Driver made a left turn and within two seconds the vehicle started accelerating on its own. Driver’s head and hands bounced off the steering for a brief moment and then returned. Engine could be heard revving continuously in an increasing manner. Nothing on the gas pedal nor was it manually depressed. The pedal felt stuck with no recoil like what is usually felt when ones foot is taken off the accelerator. Driver attempted to depress brakes to maximum capacity but the system would not override the acceleration and the motion the car was travelling. Car continued to pickup speed to about 70 km/hr. Attempted to slightly turn into a side lane. Cars were parked in facing each other position. Driver clipped the first vehicle, then deflected and ran into three other vehicles before becoming wedged. Passenger front tire continue to spin and burnt thread. Driver front tire intact

The Dealer at Selma Hyundai (2505 Highland Ave. Selma, Ca. 93662) was unable to complete the the recall. Dealer stated “unable to complete PODS update attempted multiple times. Current Scan tool does not support hook-up to cables and option is to update no present. Air bag light due to PODS (passenger occupant ECU) fault with loss of calibration. Scan tool will not communicate with passenger seat module.” “No repair at this time.”

My car has active recalls for the brake switch (prevents brake lights from working properly) and systems related to proper airbag deployment. In addition, there is a service recall (it doesn't show in your database, but it is Hyundai Service Campaign 936 [XXX] ) related to the valve gasket literally dumping oil out to the point that it destroys the alternator - it destroyed my AC Compressor, too! That's not the main point of this, but it's relevant in general. I have been attempting to schedule an appointment to get these issues resolved, but all local dealers tell me the recalls have "expired" and refuse to even look at the car. Some legitimately stop answering the phone when I call at this point, it just rings forever. The online tool to make an appointment from the official Hyundai site has you pick a time to bring the car in, but the dealers to not allot any slots to this so none are available to select. I contacted Hyundai Corporate Customer Service to resolve this, and was told I'd need to "continue trying to work with the dealers." It was no help at all. I am trying to fix the issues myself - my car is currently half-assembled in my garage, and I am technically proficient (I hope!), but it seems ridiculous to be denied service for active safety recalls - and keep in mind, I am only trying to do it myself because the dealers refuse to and I don't want to die in a fiery car crash. I shouldn't be forced to do this. Oh, in addition - Hyundai won't reimburse me for the repairs (I bought my own alternator/compressor once work was refused)... because they aren't being done at a dealership! It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so scummy. Thank you for any help you can offer. I am legitimately losing my mind at this point.

Break pedal switch getting hot and disables the gear shifter

The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated while coming to a stop, the contact was informed by another driver that while coming to a stop the brake lights were inoperable. The contact was informed that the brake lights failed to function properly.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 158,000.

I am writing to formally report an incident involving the service department at Lakeland Hyundai (1500 W Memorial Blvd, Lakeland, FL 33815). My 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe was brought in on 12/31/25 for an active engine recall involving the Cylinder Head Cover Oil Leak Repair (Recall Code 976 / Campaign 24-01-026H). The vehicle was driven into the dealership in proper working condition. I was later informed that allegedly stripped bolts for the cover would require an out-of-pocket cost of $483.36, despite this being a recall repair. There was also a required Upper Timing Chain Guide repair quoted at $58.38 to complete the recall work. When I was called in on 01/12/26 to pick up the vehicle for completed work, I was charged $29.99 for a Multi-Point Inspection related to the recall, yet no documentation or billing was provided for the timing chain guide repair I was told was completed. Upon attempting to leave the lot, the check engine light was on and the vehicle immediately began shaking violently and producing a loud noise. The service representative could not identify the cause and later advised there was nothing further they could do, citing a P0300 code, and instructed me to return the loaner and retrieve my now-undrivable vehicle. My vehicle remains at Lakeland Hyundai and is undrivable due to issues that arose immediately following recall service. I respectfully request guidance and resolution regarding responsibility for the damage, loaner coverage, and loss of transportation.

UNKNOWN Went to the grocery store and vehicle was working fine. Upon leaving the store, started the car, ESC OFF light was on and when I went to press the brake to put the vehicle in reverse, the gearshift was locked and I couldn't move the gear. Long story short, I had to get my vehicle towed to the house as the vehicle is non-drivable at this time. Kelly's Blue Book indicated there were a few Hyundai recalls related to the ESC but my make and model was not affected but clearly I believe it is based on my experience and find this very unsafe.

THE HEADLGHTS ON LOW BEAM BLOCK OUT THE TOP 1/3 OF THE HEADLIGHT BEAM AND 2/3 OF THE HEADLIGHT BEAM WHEN THE CAR IS GOING DOWN HILL. THIS EYEBROW EFFECT IS NOT SHOWING WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ON. IN ADDITION WHEN THE LOW BEAMS ARE IN USE, THE MYVISION ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR IS BLOCKED OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT WHICH HYUNDAI WILL NOT ADDRESS CLAMING THERE IS NO FIX SINCE THE LIGHTS ARE PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. AT THIS POINT IN TIME THEY DO NOT OFFER A REMADY. THIS EYEBROW EFFECT APPEARS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION BUT ONLY ON THE LOW BEAMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VISOR FRACTURED AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

Engine valve cover gaskets leaking oil, causing oil drip on pavement. Could cause fire and alternator failure. My mechanic pin-pointed the leak location. The google search indicated that other Hundai vehicle owners also had this problem. Mechanic estimated cost to repair the problem was quoted at $700.00 dollars.

WHENEVER I NEED TO MAKE TURNS OR PARK AT A SLOWER SPEED I LOSE MY POWER STEERING AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. WHEN I TALKED TO A HYUNDAI DEALER THEY MENTIONED THEY HAVE DONE A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING BUT MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLYDED.

MY SON, [XXX] WAS DRIVING THE CAR. WHILE DECELERATING DOWN FROM 60 MPH ON APPROACH TO BRIDGE TOLL PLAZA, AT ABOUT 40 MPH THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY HARD TO WORK.

CAR UNIBODY RUSTED THRU

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CONTROL ARM 3 TIMES, (2/2013, 4/2014, 3/2015) AND ABOUT TO DO IT A 4TH TIME (2019). IT GOES BAD AFTER ABOUT 20,000 MILES AND AFFECTS THE ALIGNMENT WHICH CAUSES THE TIRES TO WEAR INCORRECTLY. BRAND NEW TIRES ARE GET WORN DOWN ON THE INSIDE EDGE AND IS NOT VISIBLE. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE. MY RELATIVELY NEW TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH. I'VE SPENT $3000 IN REPAIRS AND ESTIMATE ANOTHER $1000 IN TIRES THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED PREMATURELY. I WILL FILL ONE OF THESE OUT FOR EACH OF THE INCIDENTS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

The contact's daughter owns a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that her daughter informed her that the vehicle stalled while driving at various speeds and also while the vehicle was idling.

The driver seat belt locking mechanism has failed. I tried to replace it with OEM manufacturer parts but have been told by Hyundai that the part is not available, it is on back order but will be discontinued before backorder is fulfilled. My question is how can you discontinue manufacturering a part which is mandated by every licensing state? I have filed a complaint with Hyundai but they have ignored my attempts to resolve this. I need help to return my vehicle to safety standards.

PLEASE NOTE THAT MY AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT IS ON AND I HAVE HAD THE LIGHT RESET MORE THAN SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN DRIVING THE LIGHT WILL GO ON AGAIN AND AGAIN. I HAVE THE DEALER LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM TWICE AND THEY HAVE RESET THE LIGHT AND THAT DID NOT WORK. ON 4.26.2016 THE DEALER TOOK THE SEAT OUT AND CLEANED ALL OF THE CONNECTIONS AND SEALED WITH CONNECTER SEALANT. THE DEALER STATED ON THE BILL THAT IF THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN THEN THEY WILL HAVE TO ORDER A FRONT SEAT ASSEMBLY. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON 4.26.2016 THREE HOURS LATER. I DROVE TO WORK 4.27.2016 AND THE LIGHT REMAINED ON. MY CONCERN IS WHY THE CONSUMER HAS TO BEAR THE COST OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE IN REGARDS TO THE AIR BAG ISSUE I AM HAVING. I DO NOT THINK IT IS FAIR TO THE CONSUMER THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE FIXED AND THERE IS NOT ANY SORT OF SOLUTION TO FIX THIS ISSUE THE FIRST TIME WHEN I TRIED TO GET IT FIXED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE SENSOR WORKS FINE AND THEY SEEMED TO BE CONFUSED ON HOW TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE THE FIRST OR SECOND TIME. THERE ARE A LOT OF FORUMS OUT ON THE WEBSITE LIKE EDMUNDS.COM WITH HYUNDAI HAVING THE AIR BAG SENSOR ISSUE. IS THIS A PLOY FOR HYUNDAI TO FORCE YOU TO BUY A NEW CAR THAT IS 8 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAVING 85,080 MILES ON THE CAR. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND THE TIME AND MONEY THAT I HAVE PUT IN TO TRYING TO MAKE MY 2007 SANTA FE SAFE. I HOPE THAT THE GOVERNMENT STEPS IN TO HELP PRODUCT THE CONSUMERS BEFORE PASSENGERS GET SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IT APPEARS THAT THIS ISSUE FROM BRAND NEW CARS AND USED CARS.
