ABS system lights going off after recall Recall #205 being completed. My vehicle has only 27,000 miles on it and is in excellent condition. I took it in for the recall and have spent thousands of dollars at the dealership for regular maintenance over the past year. Two days after the recall being done, my ABS system lights went off. Rick Case Hyundai wants to charge another $l,200 for ABS sensor replacement. This is incredible since nothing was wrong until I took it in, as advised, for the recall on the ABS system. Now they say I need to keep the car outside in case of a fire and that the sensors aren't covered. This is an outrange and I get NO assistance since contacting Hyundai Customer Care and the case manager of my Case #l8756193 is an absolute joke and of no help whatsoever. The sensors should be replaced at NO Cost to me as it was a direct result of the recall visit.
2013 Hyundai Santa Fe brakes complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 63 of 63, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My vehicle had been stalling on I assign for a couple of months until one day in June 2021 it wouldn’t start at all. I got a new battery installed and assumed that all was well. Weeks later, I was in route to visit family when my ABS, traction, and down hill break lights all came on. I pulled over and tried cutting my car off and on a few times to see if that would resolve the issue and it did not. My car also seemed to slow down a bit and struggled slightly accelerating up hills. In 2019 my turbo engine was replaced after my vehicle stopped accelerating while I was on the interstate. There is currently a recall on 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe’s that reads: “ Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Santa Fe Sport vehicles. Brake fluid may leak inside the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) module, possibly resulting in an electrical short… If the ABS module short circuits, there is an increased risk of an engine compartment fire.“ unfortunately my VIN is not included in the recall and I fear my car may catch fire any day now as a result of this failure.
My car is making a rapid beeping noise it stops every time I break I am extremely scared. I believe it has something to do with my engine. I’ve recorded videos however the box below doesn’t allow videos.
After starting the car, the warning lights for defective ABS,ESC and dbs (may) stay on. Sometimes after starting the car, these light go off. Hyundai had previously replaced ABS sensors on the vehicle.
Abs & brake warning lights are on. Even after replacing brakes. This is current recall but my VIN does not show up under this recall. The radio & GPS works but there is no sound coming out. I was able to reset before but not anymore.

Abs,ESC, brake warning lights on, incline warning light on wheel bearing speed sensors both had to be replaced codes indicated problem with wires, replaced but no solution
My car keeps turning on and off. As of recently the lights came on and off inside the car( radio, lights, ) then the steering wheel locked up but the gas was still able to be used. The ABS , steering wheel , and SUV indicators were red on the dashboard
While driving 35 MPH through an intersection on a city street, the entire electrical system failed and shut off. I was unable to steer or brake, but managed to coast into a parking lot. The entire dash panel repeatedly flashed and all warning symbols appeared on dash panel. Briefly the dash panel displayed connect fuel sensor before completely shutting off. We towed vehicle to dealership and was told it appeared to be a failed alternator and starter and compromised battery cable and sensor and wouldn't be covered under warranty. We had just had the fuel line sensor replaced under recall and now this. This is after the total engine failure and that LED to the engine being replaced with what we told was a factory new engine that fell under the metal fragments in oil chamber recall. We are fortunate we were unharmed during this incident. This is extremely frustrating that we have been hit with recall after recall. We were told to not be surprised if this issue also became a matter of recall.
I was on my way to a softball field for my granddaughters game and after stopping at a stop sign, I began to accelerate and my car just died. I drifted over to the roadside and tried at least 5 times to restart the vehicle to no avail. I then called aaa auto and had the girls start walking toward the ball field , much against my better judgement ( ages 10 & 12). The vehicle I had towed wednesday to my home. I now have no transportation. We were on a small connecting road between route 40 and275.

Then about 4moths later the back one's right and left sides. Then 4months later the left and right side went out (front). Then again the back breaks went I dont understand what is going on.this will be my third go around with these breaks

While driving on interstate, 65 miles hour , smell of burning coming from rear of SUV, 2013 hyundia santa fe sport 56k miles got out of SUV and my left rear brake was smoking very hot, took it to dealer and they looked at the left rear brake and said it was just the brake pad, repalced pad, but did not inspect all my brakes! Then next day my left and right rear brakes locked up and was smoking, again took to dealership, they said nothing wrong! I was so confused, I called the hyundai customer service they did a complaint form, it did no good for dealership did not fix or did they do a complete brake inspection, they say it would be to costly and would take to much time! And on the check in form they put mileage of 66k miles so as to look as it was out of warranty but yet the brakes lock up! I got a call from hyundai service rep. Dave he said he wanted to make sure I as being taken care of and would see to that my brakes get fixed. But nothing ever came of it, he does not answer my calls and did not set anything up.... Wow what a company. I looked up problem on the internet and yes there has been others with same problem with there brakes but nothing has ever come back from hyundai saying that it is a problem, so I did the caliper replacement on my own and yes the calipers are shot! No good. So what good is there warranty?

Driving 15-17 miles an hour, rush hour, on street tried to stop, bump car in front, dealer said I need an master cylinder and an break booster, brought my car 4/9/16, certified used car, now I have to pay 1200.00 to get the brakes fix plus 500.00 deductible for accident plus 100.00 deductible for easycare, this is not fair.
Car in front of me stopped to avoid running red light at intersection. I tried to brake and thought my anti-lock brakes would stop me but they failed to work properly and I hit the car in front of me. There was very little damage to the car in front of me but $8,000 damage to my car. I took the car to the hyundai dealer and asked them to check out my brakes and they put their computer on my car and said everything was ok. I have since tested the "anti-lock" on my brakes and they provide too much "anti-lock" and I know how anti-lock should work locking and quickly releasing repeatedly until stopping, but these brakes do not work like that with a feeling of being on ice until just before stopping to work like my previously cars have worked.
I had just picked my vehicle from the dealer from having a 30,000 mile service completed. I left the dealership coming to a complete stop leaving the parking lot. Proceeded to the next stop light and came to a complete stop. The next stop light turned yellow and I was applying the brakes. I felt a pop in the brakes and the peddle went directly to the floor and the vehicle did not stop. I coasted to the next available place that I could pull off, and let the vehicle coast to a stop. I contacted the dealer and they came to get the vehicle. I followed the dealer driver as he drove the vehicle back to the dealership. On the way the courtesy driver came back with the mechanic. They popped the hood and he checked it out. When we got back to the dealership I asked what the mechanic was doing. He said he thought something may not have been connected from the service, which was not the case. They informed me they would call me in the morning with what they find. I had my daughter in the vehicle and we were lucky that it didn't happen at a busy intersection. My main concern is knowing my rights when I do get the vehicle and my concern that after a 30,000 mile tune up and a full vehicle inspection that this happened. I am concerned with the safety of myself, family and friends in this vehicle.
