Door locks do not work properly. Sometimes lock, sometimes do not. Mostly they unlock but do not lock properly. The key fob also does not always work. Have had the battery and system checks and there were no issues. Dangerous to have doors not lock properly for a single woman in parking lots or even with the car parked outside at night.

I bought my santa fe in 2008, with 12,000 miles on it. I've had to replace a gas pedal switch, gear shift switch, gas gauge switch, driver's seat switch, two batteries replaced, the driver's visor hung down, both hydraulics lifts gate replace, backseat left side door lock replace and still doesn't work right and of course the ESC light problems. All the problems started in january 2015.

Fuel door latch switch on driver-side door will not upen fuel door on occasion. Happening more frequently lately. On-line search shows this is a common problem w this model. Is anything being done by manufacturer to fix this?

All door lock acutuators on my vehicle are defective causing faulty door locks. A review of owners forums reveals this to be a common problem. This creates a safty concern if people, especially children need to be able to exit the vehicle quickly. A potentially fatal example would be a fire inside the car.

My ESC light comes on and goes off intermittently while driving, this has been happening for probably the past year. I have never noticed any effect on the performance of the vehicle and since I didn't know what ESC was I did not pay it a great deal of attention to it. My passenger air bag light also does this "coming on and going off thing" so I assumed it was a weird dash light glitch. About 4 months ago vehicle started having electrical problems (power door locks sometimes stop working). Finally today I noticed my rear brake lights were not coming on... Obviously I was very concerned and called hyundai to find out if there were any recalls. Hyundai gave me a case # but said my vehicle is not covered under current recall, so I am not sure if anything is wrong?

Major problems with our 2007 hyundai santa fe including gas tank door latch needing to be replaced, car shaking uncontrollably, which the dealer diagnosed as a coil issue. The last problem LED to the car being towed to the dealer. They are replacing the transmission due a failure of the car to accelerate and then lurch into gear, creating a very dangerous situation.
