Brake/stop light switch located behind the brake pedal sticks causing the gear shift to not be removed from or into Park. Hyundai issued Recall #110 for this issue but the recall does not cover all versions of 2007 Santa Fe even though the issue occasionally occurs on non recalled versions.

The valve cover gasket failed after being replaced under a previous recall in the same manner and oil leaks directly into the alternator causing it to ultimately fail.

It started off as what seemed like just the bulbs burning out in any which light. Then my passenger window stopped working then started working. The lights still were having issues. It took a bit for me to realize that there is a short or something in the car. The lights go out then come back on then switch which one is out. The worst time was when it went in for an oil change and came back out with no lights working. I contacted the company to make sure there was no foul play and they checked their camera. I've had the lights looked at multiple times by multiple different companies. It never fixes the problem permanently. A few weeks ago the back right passenger lock stopped working then the next week the front passenger window again. Then yesterday the lock started to work and today it doesn't again. And speedometer is off. Hard to say by how much. Depends on which speed reader I go by.

Potential fire hazard and engine failure. Oil leaking from top, anterior, passenger side of engine again causing electrical issues and alternator failure. Multiple electrical issues, car not starting, clock resetting, draining of battery. Solution: Replaced valve cover gasket at owners expense first time at 114900 miles, before service campaign 936 was known. Multiple electrical issues again, clock resetting, car not starting, tripometer resetting. Solution: Dealership replaced valve cover gasket second time at 136,434 miles, under recall. Dealership also replaced faulty, oil covered alternator. Dealership noted that the timing chain cover was leaking oil. The timing chain cover is not covered under the service campaign 936, but should be as the leak is the similar issue to the valve gasket cover.

Car has recall. Dealer told me to bring it in they would fix it. Dealer then tells me corporate Hyundai will not allow them to do the work even though dealer has the part. An electrical short within the ABS module may cause an engine compartment fire, even when the car is turned off, increasing the risk of an injury.

The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that the turn signal indicators and the cruise control feature would not operate when needed. In addition, the ECM warning indicator illuminated when the failures occurred. Also, when the contact replaced the rear passenger side turn signal bulb, the rear driver side bulb also failed to operate. Furthermore, the contact stated that both brake lights began to fail after the bulbs were replaced. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the ECM failed. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failures. The contact discovered NHTSA campaign number: 13V113000 (service brakes, hydraulic, exterior lighting), which listed the same failures she was experiencing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 185,000.

Issue 1) fuel sensor had to be replaced, one was done by me the other by mechanic. It stopped showing how much gas I had in tank so I had to guess. Seems to be a know. And recurring issue issue 2) headlights have all of a sudden stopped working, the high beamss work issue 3) the driver lock no longer works but others do and the gas door no longer unlocks from driver door so I have to use the emergency release to get at the tank. Issue 4) the latch for the hood is stuck open, this has been a known issue on another model from the same year. I can get mechanic records for fuel issue, that was about 1.4 years ago. Headlights were yesterday and hood as of today. The door issue within last few months and gas door within 2 years.

2007 sante fe alternator issue. Post recall fix, oil leak still happening and this time the alternator almost caught on fire. Smoke started pouring out from under the hood. Had to pull over and pour water on the alternator to keep it from catching on fire. Car became disabled and had to be towed. Family was in car while this was happening.

Front corner of valve cover is leaking oil onto my alternator causing it to become saturated with oil and electrical shutdown. The same oil is spreading all around my drive belt from the alternator and saturating all pullies and the entire drive belt as well. I am having problems charging my battery electrical shutdowns on the highway and with other components such as steering, A/C and belt not wanting to grip the pullies that it rides on. Very dangerous. Numerous complaints simular to the same exact engine on the Hyundai crossover that has the same engine type but was recalled to fix. Why are Santa Fe owners left out of this recall if it is the same exact enging as the crossover that was recalled and fixed.

We have a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe limited V6 3.3L with ~80K miles that suffered an alternator failure while driving yesterday 8/14: Car lost all power in the middle of the road and stalled... hopefully without much traffic around. We thought it was a battery problem, so we got a new battery but problem happened again. We checked to see if others had similar problems and found there was a Santa Fe 2007's recall on a valve gasket in 2016. Now, it seems our old Hyundai dealer changed it during the 60K maintenance (we didn't receive a notice or were told about it at that time, although today we found they did it in 2016 B/C we were informed about that in the dealer this morning). In any case, we towed the car to a closer Hyundai dealer (car would not move even after battery jump) and they basically told us the replaced gasket didn't work and impacted the alternator. Problem is, the car is 11 years old and is 'out of warranty'. they are 'checking with corporate' whether they should charge us full price for the repair ($1700) even if the problem is -more than likely- related to that recall... so, my question: Since the problem that the work done in 2016 should fix still happened, am I still covered by that recall? do free-cost recalls end with the warranty (10-yr) for the car? I really thought recalls do not end.thanks in advance. P.S. I also wrote a similar note through your facebook page.

There was a recall on the valve cover gasket as its poor design caused it to fail and leak into the alternator causing the alternator to eventually fail. I've had it replaced twice and the third gasket has failed and is leaking into the alternator once again. Hyundai has failed to create a permanent solution to this issue and should continue to replace the gasket and alternator if necessary until they do.

Vehicle intermittently does not turn on withought cycling of the shifter from park to drive repeatedly. I have taken the car to a reputable ase certified mechanic and was informed that it was a bad shifter cable. He also stated this was a know problem with this year and model vehicle.

Crankshaft harmonic balancer broke apart which caused loss of control: ( of the steering, brakes, lighting, etc. ) the vehicle was in motion at a very low speed while turning into a driveway! fortunately I was able to immediately stop and shut off the engine which prevented excessive damage from shrapnel. If this occurred at the interstate speeds, it could have proved catastrophic for myself, passengers and other highway travelers. My checking online disclosed there are many occurrences of this nature! unfortunately I did not take photos.

Both fuel gauge sending units needed to be replaced at 91,000 miles. Check engine light and improper/inaccurate fuel gauge readings prompted the repair which cost over $400 at my local mechanic. Per the mechanic and internet research, this issue seems to be prevalent with pre-2010 Santa Fe models as he recently replaced another set of fuel gauge sending units in a Santa Fe. Clearly not normal wear and tear.

- Mount Prospect, IL, USA

For the last 3-6 months my engine light and fuel gauge have been acting up. My engine light comes on to check engine at same time my fuel amount reads empty of 1/4 tank amount after I just filled up. I'm told that I need to replace defective sensors for $600 plus dollars as soon as possible. I dont want to run out of fuel by a bad read out or stall in traffic.
