I bought the vehicle 2 months ago, and 2 weeks ago, I noticed the car was shaking when I applied the brakes. The engine light came on and I took it to the shop, and was told I needed a new engine.
2013 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS low beam very dim ( having to use High beams contentiously)dealership states can not find problem, checked wiring harness ohms out correctly(12 volts )have replaced bulbs many time manufactured recommended. have researched internet and Hyundai form many owners are having similar issues on other modals as well. This has become a serious safety issues as well as cost, There has been no response from Hyundai about this issues. Is there a corrective action for this problem?
When the cruise control shuts down, the tachometer cuts out and the vehicle seems to go into limp mode. Brightening or dimming the headlights causes an intermittent bright flash to the interior lights. This could be potentially dangerous seeing as you have no acceleration, which could cause very extensive damage to person and property. The intermittent bright flash could be a result of an unregulated power surge, which could cause damage to person and property.
I cannot see at night with my headlights. Steering is very loose.
Car burned oil putting 2 quarts back in it every week/ topping it off. Oil light doesn't indicate oil is getting low and or does it come on. Left side of steering wheel controls don't work at all. What's the point of the bluetooth if you cant use the important part of the function that's supposed to help. Both in motion and stationary.
2/10/20 my right low beam headlight keeps blowing out. We have replaced the light 3 times in less than a week. Our mechanic suggested that I report this problem to the federal safety agency to see if there is a recall on this problem. My light is out again!!! This is a serious safety problem. Cannot see the right side of the road unless I use my high beams.
Ever since I have had this vehicle the driver side break light has gone out. I keep replacing the bulb but I find out it's the socket. As well the driver side parking light the halo over the front light has gone out this has to be a defect please help me to understand how this keeps going out. The halo cannot be repaired easily.
My headlights keeps blowing less than 6 months after being replaced.
Driving visibility during darkness and/or rainy conditions is significantly reduced due to dim and low beam direction of said vehicle making driving with high beams the only way to safely drive at night.
