2015 Hyundai Santa fe problems
The Hyundai Santa Fe (Korean: 현대 싼타페) is an automobile produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai since 2000. It is a five-door crossover SUV that either has front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. It is named after the city of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and was introduced for the 2001 model year as Hyundai's first SUV. The Santa Fe was a milestone in the company's restructuring program of the late 1990s because the SUV was a hit with American buyers. Between 2006 and 2012, the Santa Fe was positioned between the smaller Tucson compact crossover and the larger Veracruz.
The third-generation Santa Fe introduced in 2012 was available in two versions, which are regular (short) and extended long-wheelbase version. The short model was sold as the Santa Fe Sport in North America (three-row seating was not available) and simply Santa Fe in global markets (three-row seating was standard or optional), while the extended long-wheelbase model is called the Santa Fe in the US, Santa Fe XL in Canada and called the Hyundai Maxcruz in South Korea. The fifth and current generation was released in 2023 and omits diesel engines in favor of petrol hybrid powertrains.
As of 2022, the Santa Fe is positioned between the smaller Tucson – which the Santa Fe shares platform with – and the larger Palisade in Hyundai's global crossover SUV line-up.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-17
- VIN: KM8SR4HF6FU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: My car burns a lot of oil. The Hyundai dealership service center ran a controlled test and validated that my car burned a quart of oil in 1000 miles. This is not normal. It turns out that there are a lot of Hyundai owners with the exact same problem. It seems there are bad piston rings.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-11
- VIN: 5XYZTDLB4FG
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: I am filing this complaint regarding my 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, which recently suffered engine failure due to an unresolved issue related to error code P1326. The check engine light began flashing, and despite multiple visits to my local Hyundai service center (Gateway Hyundai Nissan in Fargo, ND), the problem was not properly diagnosed or repaired, resulting in catastrophic engine damage. The vehicle has a branded title, but I have confirmed that, according to Hyundai's warranty policies, recalls and campaigns are still applicable to branded vehicles. Hyundai has issued a recall for engine defects associated with error code P1326, yet the service center has refused to replace the engine under this recall. Instead, they are insisting on an out-of-pocket repair cost of $9,300.56, even though the engine failure is a result of the defect addressed in the recall. This failure occurred while I'm driving with my wife and 9-month-old infant, which posed a significant safety risk. Had the service center properly addressed the issue during my earlier visits, this situation could have been prevented. I am filing this complaint to request that Hyundai be held accountable for the engine replacement as part of the recall and to prevent further safety risks for other drivers experiencing this defect. I respectfully ask the NHTSA to investigate Hyundai’s handling of this recall and ensure that customers with branded vehicles are not unfairly denied critical safety repairs. The manufacturer must ensure that engine replacements under the recall are carried out for all affected vehicles, regardless of their title status, to prevent dangerous road situations. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

- VIN: KM8SRDHFXFU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Sudden loss of engine power in traffic on highway in funeral procession. My safety was put at risk on the highway. The check engine light came on intermittently the previous week. I made six trips to the Hyundai dealer in Plymouth, MA. First told the oil was low when the dipstick was normal. Oil was changed. Check engine light came on as I left the lot. Two more trips computer reset two different ways. Engine does not have normal power going up hill. Another trip to dealer EVAP hose collapsed. Light back on and off. I paid for diagnostic fee $175, oil change then told it was CVV and timing issue with $2817.89 in parts because the tech "saw" the problem. >$3000 estimate for labor. Repair started now told CVV is not the problem metal shavings in oil OCV intake and exhaust valves and needs new engine. The car had $60,000 miles on it and was extremely well maintained. It does not have a warrantee. This is same issue as the Hyundai recall for metal debris left in oil passages of engine crankshaft during manufacture though my model is not covered by the recall. Hyundai declines to help. There is a huge personal safety and fire risk from this defective manufacturing process.

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-26
- VIN: KM8SRDHF0FU
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE
- Summary: The 3.3 liter V6 GDI engine failed while driving at approximately 136000 miles. Heard a ticking noise start shortly after leaving home, and had hesitation and shaking upon acceleration from a stop sign, but saw no warning lamps. Went around the block back home to find out the ticking noise was under the hood. Motor oil was almost 3 quarts low, but only 2/3's of the way through the service interval. Checked for leaking, saw none dripping, but did see oil on the under of the rear differential. I then let the car run for minute or so in the garage and looked for leaks. I saw no active leaking and ticking was quieter, so I drove to a close gas station to get a little gas and test drive, still no warning lights. On the way back, about a mile from home, the engine light came on, despite the ticking sound being gone. Within a quarter mile, at the next stop sign, I let off the brake to accelerate and the car started rolling backwards, causing the vehicle approaching from behind to swerve into the turn lane. The vehicle was no longer running, and wouldn't restart. Towed to local mechanic and was told 2 days ago the engine was seized, and replacement was needed. I have not contacted any dealership or the manufacturer, as I the second owner and do not have a warranty. However I have spent the last 2 days reading seemingly 1000s of articles and forum posts related to this engine, whether it be in a Hyundai or a Kia. Several of the articles I have read about this 3.3 liter GDI Lambda -II engine and it's horror stories, referenced this nhtsa site as a place where complaints can be made, so here I am. Many articles describe the same problem.. hesitation... ticking.. sudden mysterious oil loss... little, if any warning... complete failure while driving, putting safety at risk. With the problem with engine so blatantly rampant, it is my fear that after I scrap this vehicle, there will be a recall. Over the phone quotes, and online pricing have ranged from $7500-20000 for repair.

My dad (who is very mechanically inclined) pulled over at a gas station and checked oil and other fluids. It was low, even though I just had oil changed 900 miles before and it was checked before our trip to the hospital. We bought oil and put it in. Knocking was still there but was not as loud. We got back on interstate. Few miles up the road it completely lost power, extreme knocking, no lights on in the dash or any gauges out of normal range. He checked oil and it was completely empty but there was no oil trail or anything. We coasted into a crossover and that's when he saw the connecting rod under the car.

- Fire: 1
- VIN: 5XYZUDLB7FG
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: While I was driving on the highway in the left lane, smoke came from the engine, then it started coming from underneath the car. The car turned off. I was forced to stop on the left lane of the highway and exit the vehicle and walk as far away as possible. I called 911, then I noticed fire coming from the engine. This was unsafe for myself as well as other riders on the highway. Firefighters came and put out the fire. Once they left, I was left by myself waiting for the tow truck to arrive. No police officers helped to keep myself safe while waiting on the left shoulder once the highway re-opened. When asked if I needed a police report, the police officer said no because it wasn't a crash. The vehicle was inspected by my insurance company and it was deemed a total loss. There were no warning signs or messages or symptoms prior to the failure at all.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-05-14
- VIN: KM8SR4HF1FU
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: While driving, there was a very loud pop, following by the sound of glass shattering. I was unable to tell which window was broken since it was dark outside (early morning before sunrise), but I could hear wind coming into the car. I pulled over and inspected my car, and that is when I noticed that the middle portion of the panoramic sunroof was completely shattered. Fortunately, the inside cover was closed, otherwise the glass would have fallen on top of my head & covered me in broken glass from the sunroof, as well as the front and rear seat passengers. I am grateful that my children were not in the car with me when this occurred. My safety was at risk 1), due to the loud pop/explosion sound which startled me & caused me to swerve while driving. 2) the shattered glass falling from the sunroof onto my head and the rest of my person, as well as any passengers, could have caused serious injury especially if glass had fallen into the eye of anyone inside of the vehicle, especially the driver. This could have endangered others by causing me to collide with another motorist on the roadway. Prior to the shattered sunroof, there were no warning signs to indicate anything like this would happen. No warning lamps, no visible defects, issues, or other symptoms of failure were present before this occurred. The issue of exploding sunroofs has been a well-known issue with Hyundai vehicles with panoramic sunroofs and resulted in a recall for some models of Hyundai. I contacted a local dealership after my incident, and he was aware of the unexpected shattering of the sunroofs, but advised that my vehicle was out of warranty, and that my model year was not included in the recall group, and therefore it was not covered for the incident. There are many online forums that discuss this issue for various Hyundai vehicles in the USA & Canada, including class action lawsuits regarding the issue. Photos taken of the damage for insurance claim. Stress marks seen in photos.

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-03-26
- VIN: KM8SR4HF9FU
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE
- Summary: engine replacement can be avoided you should use fuel injector cleaner every 3000 miles, sediment clogs injectors, and pistons which fuel leaks into oil pan, causing oil/fuel mixture to burn, creating overheating, which leads to oil burning, and eventually engine seizing. If you use fuel injector cleaner every 3000 miles this will prevent needing to replace motor.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-03-12
- VIN: KM8SRDHF9FU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Out of the blue, the engine started knocking badly. Immediately pulled over and checked engine oil which was extremely low. (This was odd since I regularly check oil levels and keep up with oil changes.) I happened to be very close to an oil change shop, drove over and they did an oil change. They found silver and gold metal shavings in the old oil and topped off with new oil. The knocking was muted but came back by the time I got home. I have not driven the car since. Seems to have the same fate as many other Hyundai vehicles in the current recall, but this has the 3.3l engine. I've also found there is a petition to add the 3.3l engine to the recall.

- Summary: I have a Hyundai Santa Fé XL 3.3L 2015. I had a real danger situation with my family some months ago, when I had to pull over on a Highway after engine failure. I have this car for 11 months and all my maintenance records. Car died while I was driving putting me and my family in a danger situation. Not alerts or warnings signs. The car just died. I towed the car to a Hyundai Dealer, and after 3 weeks they reached out to me telling my engine is gone and there is no coverage/warranty/recall for that. After some research on-line I found thousands of people describing exactly the same issue. Major engine failure without any warning even with all schedule maintenance on date. I pretty confident that I am being victim of this knowing Hyundai issue and they don't care to keep people life in danger.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-03-02
- VIN: KM8SR4HF2FU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Oil consumtion issue. Same issue on their 4 cylinder motor. No indicator to tell you there is low oil. Engine fails. In addition, they do not manufacture the engine for replacement. I was instructed, by law they have to manufacture parts for 10 years. It is within 10 years and they haven't made parts for this motor for some time now. I request that this be investigated, as from searching the internet there are many people that have similar issues with the 3.3 liter engine. Hyundai should be force to recall them, just like they did for the 4 cylinder. In addition, their ingition system is flawed and can be easily stolen. Yet another reason why they should be forced to recall the vehicles.

Negative 2015 Hyundai Santa fe car reviews
Positive 2015 Hyundai Santa fe car reviews
-
It's big, but not too big, with fabulous acceleration and a great price!
-
We added this to our 2013 Sonata after the other midsize SUV we leased was bought back by another manufacturer as a lemon. We are incredibly impressed with all of the features in this car. It looks great, rides nicely, and has tons of room for two car seats and all the stuff that little kids come with. The technology is also great. I admit that the panoramic sunroof was one of the biggest selling features. If you haven't seen it, you must - it beats all other competitors. The only demerits I give are on the telescoping steering wheel - I wish it came back a little more - and the rearview camera - the lines do not move when you turn the wheel, which is weird as the Sonata does.
-
I did a lot of research before finally deciding on an SUV. I'm really happy with my choice of the Santa Fe! I got the GLS with the Premium and Tech packages, and I couldn't be more pleased. The build quality, look and feel, and handling are such a huge improvement over my 2011 Highlander Limited. I'm over the moon!
-
Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to let you know that this SUV is in great condition and looks really clean. You won't have any issues with it!
-
When we were searching for a replacement for our 2006 Toyota Sequoia, we wanted to go down in size. We started by looking at Toyota, but unfortunately, we didn't find the Highlander very appealing and the dealer selection was awful. We also checked out Buick, Ford, GM and Dodge. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we began comparing features, options, overall cost and warranties of all the above. We found that the Hyundai offered the best overall value by a wide margin. We absolutely love driving it and the features are great. Although we had to drive a long way to find the one we wanted, it was well worth it! As of 11-14-18, it is still working perfectly. We have not had to take it into the dealer for any issues and it has been serviced regularly with no problems whatsoever! We are even still driving with the original factory tires. We would definitely buy this vehicle again, but there is no need to as we plan on hanging on to this one for many more years.

The steering wandering issue of my 2014 Hyundai on highways is a serious safety concern that needs to be addressed. At speeds over 50 MPH, the vehicle constantly wanders from side to side, making it difficult to keep it in the correct lane. This issue requires immediate attention to ensure the safety of the driver and other road users.

I had to rent this vehicle when I selected an SUV via an online rental website for my trip. If I had known that my only choice was this car, I would have asked for a non-SUV and definitely not anything KIA or Hyundai. The interior and ride quality are not up to par with other more established economy car companies. If you're looking for a new car and want to save some money, you may want to consider buying used.

After buying the vehicle with 76,••• miles on it, we've put another 68,000 miles on it in little over a year. Unfortunately, this SUV has been the most uncomfortable vehicle I've driven. However, the only good thing it has going for it is that I usually can get 28 to 31 mpg.

Although I understand the frustration expressed, it is important to note that the issue with the gears shifting and the Bluetooth not downloading contacts is not unique to this particular Santa Fe. However, I am confident that we can find a solution to these issues. Please bring the car back in and we will work to resolve these problems for you.
