Once again, another problem over a month after new transmission. I'm going to get a second opinion from another mechanic before I allow dealer to order part, they say I need, at the tune of $613. Enough is enough! Car only has 60,000. Don't think I'll be buying a Hyundai again.

My 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe has 82000 miles and recently the check engine light came on. My mechanic ran a diagnostic on it and said the fuel sensor was bad. The fuel sensor was not covered under warranty and would cost $800-900. This is a safety issue which should be fixed but out of my pocket as the car can stall or seize when out of gas. If this is a serious safety issue then they should recall.

A chronic problem since the 100k mark. Warning light goes on and off every few days. As Santa Fe accelerates, there is a hesitation when the automatic transmission shifts causing an audible 'thunk' coming from the transmission/engine. Spent at least $750 looking for the problem. Internet traffic identified a class-action lawsuit lodged against Hyundai in 2014 - and took to my local dealership. Denied knowledge of any lawsuit and little help. Returned again 6 months ago, and new service person could not identify any problems. Suggested there is no algorithm in their computer detection that can find the problem....hmmmm. Took the vehicle back again (2/2/17) and found a "new" service manager. Described the problem - and he had heard of it!!! Took it in and hooked up the Hyundai computer and here's what it said:
P0011 A: Intake position timing over-advanced;
P0014 B: Exhaust crankshaft position timing over-advanced.
Same problem others are having (lawsuit). Could cost up to $3000! Oye!
