There's a reall on this vehicle that I just purchased the description says: front coil spring protector installation how can this issue be resolved? This issue should been taking care of and reported to you guys but obviously it hasn't. So I need to know is it still available to be free of charge or do I have to come out of pocket to get this repaired? Or can I still go to a hyandai dealer for free repairs? I'm not sure of the notification date. So in the box below I'll put this year and date

Oil light came on .so I carry to the people that did my oil change they checked it out they did not see where it was leaking from. They refill it and then the light came on again ,so this time I carry it to the dealer on that monday they gave me an app. For that wednesday the 13th kept it overnite and returned back the 14th man in parts dept said it was blowing out the tail pipe. No leaks on the ground. Oil light came on again and now they said the b.b.b.said my car is to old and that the people that did my oil change did not put oil in ,which is a lie. Start to burn oil at little over 85000 mile. I carry it to the dealer and they said they fixed it but they did not.

I have the same complaint as many santa fe owners. Problems of acceleration at 40, along with shifting issues. On several trips to the dealer, leaving the car there for sometimes 7-15 days at a time. It has had 4 throttle position sensors, an alternator and 2 batteries. My mileage is 100,386 and the vehicle needs 3000.00 worth of transmission work. Hyundai simply states my vehicle is out of warranty and these issues do not have anything to do with my transmission. I have a signed statement from the transmission shop manager that states a tps problem absolutely will affect the transmission.

My car is a 2001 4-cylinder 5-speed manual transmission. The engine is too small for the car's weight. I had to have the clutch replaced after only 24,000 miles, which was not covered under the warranty (cost was over $1000). The dealer insisted that I caused the problem by "bad driving". I have driven a stick for well over 12 years, and never had to replace a clutch on any other car.

Dt: 2001 hyundai santa fe has automatic/standard transmission which would downshift on its own. The consumer first noticed this problem when getting onto the highway and the vehicle wouldn't shift out of third gear. When consumer exited the highway he noticed he only had second and third gears. He shut the vehicle off and restarted it and the vehicle operated normally.

When the vehicle reachs approximately 40 MPH it stutters. When the problem occurs I takemy foot off the accelerator and then putting your foot back on this fixes the problem. If I push through 40 MPH then I do not get the stutter. I have taking the car in to hyundai and they fixed the ball joint on the drivers front wheel, they said this will fix the problem; but has not fixed it. I went back up to hyundai and now they say they don't know what it could be. Anything from transmission flush to the balance of the wheels.

Vehicle tended to go into neutral at random times while being driven, and did not accelerate. Consumer took vehicle to dealer for testing, and to replace the transmission, but the problem recurred.
