The wiring harness which connects to the braking systems down hill and track, and ABS breaking and warning light of oncoming cars when passing wires which are made of soybean based causing wiring to be eaten by rodents. Second time to fix another $55 dollars. This is scaring me when driving.

I had 2 issues with this vehicle and I believe that these might be a common recall issue. The back up camera on my Hyundai Santa Fe 2014 sport stopped working entirely I could still drive my car but it the screen turns blue when I put it in reverse. And I had another issue I used my emergency break in my car and the breaks jammed, I did drive my car because it wasn't completely locked up it was jammed and it caused my rear breaks and rotors to get so hot that they were smoking, at that point I did have to get my car towed because I dodnt want to risk a fire.

I have recently received a safety recall notice from Hyundai from national traffic and motor vehicle Safety Act for the Hyundai sante fe sport 2014, SUV. The problem on the letter states there are problems in the manufacturing of the engine, pre-mature bearing wear in the motor and the bearing can fail, and vehicle could stall while in motion, increasing risk of crash. I am taking the vehicle to Hyundai dealership today. The vehicle is making a knocking noise from the engine that increases in frequency as the engine RPM increases. I drive the vehicle on the highway so this is very dangerous and just started to hear it last night. It has started to reduce power when gas is accelerated and RPM increase and hesitation of vehicle moving forward when pushing down on gas pedal. This vehicle has been unsafe to drive and I am a mother of a 4 year old son, we bought the car originally for safety. I am dissapointed in this vehicle as it was unsafe for me and my family to drive in. I also utilize the vehicle for work and it is unsafe to drive. I will also have to deal with figuring out transportation when dealing with Hyundai dealership. I am unclear of the outcome at this moment, but very dissatisfied with this vehicle.
