2015 Hyundai Santa Fe: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Sep 1, 2023 · Acceleration, Electrical · AL

Vehicle has been consuming oil between oil changes. Recently the ABS, Down hill assist, and traction control lights came on. We took it to the dealer and were advised it was a wheel speed sensor in the passenger rear, but they wanted over $600 so we did not repair. Two days later all the lights went off and we had no issues. A month later I drove to Florida, checked and filled the oil with a little over one quart. On my way back the RPM shot up to close to 6K, the engine light started flashing, oil and battery light came on, and the car lost all power qnd started shuttering. There was a strong burning smell when we pulled over, that may it hard to breathe. As of writing this we were told it sounds like the engine has seized, but they are 5 months out on looking into it.

It appears to be a problem with all the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. It has abs, downhill, stability control lights on at the same time. It appears to be wheel speed sensor but they do not know which one. The service manager had said it happens to be a lot of the time the rear sensor that goes out. The service manager made it seem like it happens frequently. When I check online a lot of owners appear to be having the same issue. THREE LIGHTS, ESC, DBC, and ABS warning lights turn on. I am in fear for my life, due the safety on the road if the tires would lose control!

Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2015 was making sounds when vehicle was off. The ABS warning lights were lit on the dashboard (3 warnings in total) once car was turned on. Drove home hoping the sound would go away but it did not. Once home the sound continued without the vehicle being on. Opened the hood and listened for the location of the sound. It was the ABS module on the left. This part then caught on fire while parked and off (keys were out).

The remedy shown for the current recall is the same as the last recall. My vehicle was inspected as per last recall recommendation and no action was performed by the dealer. Why is hyundai still using the same the same remedy as per recall 194 customers can continue driving these vehicles; however, due to the possibility of a fire originating from the ABS module while parked, hyundai recommends parking these vehicles outside and away from structures until the recall remedy is completed. Hyundai plans to notify owners to bring their vehicles to the nearest hyundai dealership for inspection of the ABS module and if necessary, replacement with a new one. In addition to ABS module inspection, the ABS multi-fuse will be replaced with a revised one to mitigate the risk of a fire caused by an internal electrical short. The remedy procedure will be performed at no charge to the customer. Hyundai will provide reimbursement to owners for repairs according to the plan submitted to the federal safety agency on may 16, 2018.

Leak which may cause a fire. This is second recall for same problem. I feel unsafe while driving. They say if ABS light comes on to stop immediately. Unable to park in my garage or close to the house. No incidents as of now. I do not understand why this is taking so long and we are expected to drive an unsafe vehicle. Value of car has also dropped.

Received recall notice; told to park car outside as it could catch fine. Took car to dealership to have it repaired. Was told diagnostic show ABS module was not leaking, therefore no repair needed although they couldn't guarantee it wouldn't leak in the future. Called hyundai corporate (listened to campaign 953) detailing that an electronic update was installed which if the leak occurs, the car would be placed in a mode that would not allow it to be driven fast and to immediately go to hyundai dealership. I want my car repaired and part replaced. This electronic update does not do that ... If the corporation knows the part is faulty they should replace all, not just those that test bad at the time of the check. Was given no other recourse.

My 2015 hyundai santa fe has been recalled due to the anti-lock system (ABS) modules that could leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrica short over time. The piston seals in the ABS modules's hydraulic valve could leak brake fluid into the electronic control unit (euc) . An electrical short in the ABS module could increase the risk of an engine compartment fire. The safety recall letter I received 12-24-20 stated to call the nearest hyundai dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment to have this repaired. I called on jan 12, 2021 to my dealership and was told the parts to fix the recall were not in yet and they could not tell me when they would be available. I find this to be very concerning that I may have a car that anytime could catch on fire and hyundai cannot fix it.
