My car has started jerking when up shifting and seems to only be happening when the car has not warmed up. Then today while driving on the interstate at 78mph my car lost power. Not completely. Almost like something "gave out" and I lost the forward force I was going. It also became louder, almost like a lid hum. When you accelerate the vehicle does not want to

This car has had a lower engine knock at start up from day one. They took care of knock sensor system but it still knocks at start up all the time and they refuse to take care of it at the dealership. I am a retired automotive restoration shop owner of 40 years and have had articles written about my shop so I know for a fact that the knock is coming from the rod bearings! it seems as though Hyundai dealerships thinks and acts like everyone they encounter with this issue does not know what they are talking about. I am at the point of hiring an attorney before something bad happens with my wife and daughter while in the car.

There's always a 2-3 seconds hesitation in situations where acceleration is necessary. After 2-3 seconds of hesitation after stepping on the pedal for acceleration, the car revs and produces high pitched and loud sound with no acceleration or accelerates abruptly. Quickly merging into highway, making turns, changing lanes from a full stop and slow movement feel like playing russian roulette. Hyundai service center always claims they cannot replicate my complaint and my concern is ignored.

I was doing errands in my town when my Santa Fe felt like it did not want to shift, went into limp mode and would not go over 15 mph. Had to have it towed to wayne Mazda (sister store of wayne Hyundai) for them to tell me 2 days later the engine blew at 33K miles and I have only owned the car for 10 months. My case manager through corporate called me yesterday and stated engines are on back ordered and I probably wouldn't get my car back till mid June or later. Wayne Hyundai will not allow me to have a free rental car so I am paying out of pocket for my rental which will be reimbursed however I am responsible for all taxes and fees that apply. Save your time and money from buying a Hyundai. Biggest mistake of my life.

While driving my Hyundai Santa Fe sport, I noticed hesitation when accelerating from a stop. The engine light also started blinking. I made it home safely and called the service dept at the Hyundai dealership. I was told because the engine light was blinking not to drive the vehicle but to call a tow truck service and have it towed to dealership. I was notified today that the engine is defective and will have to be replaced. The vehicle has a little over 16000 miles. I have read several other complaints on this website of others having the same problem. Why have all these vehicles not been recalled and replaced" why wait for possibly a fatal accident to occur" I was lucky. I made it home.

When driving in normal and sport mode, on acceleration there is a delay and when the gas is left off, the engine is revving high but propulsion, speed is diminished, having a stall out affect at varying speeds. RPM is high but engine is not responding. This has happened weekly and nearly daily when driving in city environment with speed from 30 to 50 plus miles per hour.

Have had same problem with the car from day one. When I hit a bump it lost power, like it was not getting gas. Had it into 3 separate Hyundai dealerships for same problem 6-7 times. SUV got progressively worse with time, started losing power when traveling uphill.was almost in two bad accidents before it stopped running all together, smoking. Towed to dealership and diagnosed with a bad engine from assembly line. Can not even get it repaired for months due to back order on engines...contacted Hyundai Consumer Affairs and asked them to take the defective car back. It is a 3 year lease with 1 year left...they refuse to take the SUV back...expect me to keep a defective SUV that I have no faith in driving even with a new engine. I don't feel safe in this vehicle. But Hyundai is refusing to take their defective SUV back....just not right. All of this is documented. SUV lost power on two occasions, once while driving 45-50 mph on a flat surface then again traveling 65 mph in the mountains traveling uphill. It also had several times I would hit a bump and it would lose power driving on a flat surface.

Acceleration problem. Some times turning left either from a complete stop or a slow turn when I press on the gas it takes off and then hesitate for few seconds and then takes of. It is so scary when you have traffic coming towards you. Now it is starting to do it more and now its doing it when I turn right. Have read several complaints with the same problem and can not believe nothing is being done about this. As usual someone has to get killed before this is taken serious.

- Clearwater, FL, USA

While making a left turn from a side street on to a main highway the car quit moving. The engine was still running but the car stopped in the middle of the road. No power. There were no engine codes displayed. After coasting to the other side of the road, and pumping the gas feed multiple times the car finally took off. This is a real chance for a broad side accident. This has happened to other Santa Fe sport 2.0 turbos that I personally know of. The latest one was a 2018 Santa Fe sport 2.0 turbo owned by -----------which also almost caused a broad side accident. This must be fixed before someone is killed!

I have a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe sport 2.0 with 8500 miles on it. Since I took possession of this car, I have been having repeated occurrences of engine stalling coupled with the traction control light going on. This happens when I make either left or right turns into traffic: Acceleration stalls completely for 2-3 seconds, and the traction control warning light flashes. I cannot get the car to accelerate at all, even with the pedal fully depressed to the floor. The engine revs extremely hard, but the car does not accelerate. This happens on completely dry pavement. There is something seriously wrong with the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe, and someone is going to die as a result of this problem. I have come close to being rear ended multiple times, and I have nearly been T-boned when taking a turn in front of on-coming traffic. I have researched this problem online, and it is wide spread with hundreds of identical complaints. This needs to be addressed immediately before someone dies in the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe.
