My wife was accelerating to 45 mph, the vehicle began to swerve left to right rapidly. There was no warning indicator illuminated. She coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted, but the failure recurred. She noticed that the rear passenger side wheel was almost touching the inside of the rear fender. She was able to limp it about a mile home to driveway. she contacted hyundai & they told her to tow it to closest hyundai dealership & reap suspension problem will be fixed under recall. After we paid to have it towed to dealership it was diagnosed that the rear trailing arm was corroded and almost broken & needed to be replaced. The dealer service technician called my wife the next day to inform her that her santa fe rear trailing arms had not been replaced by hyundai. She immediately called hyundai to speak with person that told her to have it towed to dealership. Hyundai opened a case number for her santa fe. Hyundai called back couple days later saying they had researched her santa fe under recall campaign 090 and that it did not qualify being that it had not registered within the 20 salt belt states required for recall. Hyundai case worker said they were not going to repair the santa fe under recall.& hyundai was closing the case. after a very extensive search on the santa fe frame corrosion recall she discovered that the frame corrosion recall had been expanded to include every santa fe within the 50 states, although hyundai did not send notices to anyone unless the santa fe had been registered in the 20 salt belt states. with this new info she has been trying to contact the hyundai case worker to re-open her case. as it stands her santa fe was towed to hyundai dealership where it sits in back lot untouched & undriveable. After closer look at trailing arms both sides are rusted completely out.

When getting gas, the pump always 'clicks off' when im pumping gas. Does not matter how full. The only way to ensure a full tank IS to continue pumping until gas comes out the top of the filler neck. This usually means overriding as many as 50 pump 'click offs'. I have seen other santa fe owners…
When getting gas, the pump always 'clicks off' when im pumping gas. Does not matter how full. The only way to ensure a full tank IS to continue pumping until gas comes out the top of the filler neck. This usually means overriding as many as 50 pump 'click offs'. I have seen other santa fe owners complaining about the same problem obviously this IS a manufacturing flaw & needs to be fixed. This method of getting a full tank IS not desirable and what's the point of having a 17 gallon gas tank if it takes 45minutes to fill up. Thank you.

I had been driving the vehicle home and noticed the car was rubbing against the car. the subframe has rusted so much that I can't drive it. had taken the vehicle to firestone. they said not to drive it and you should have it towed to our house. They said the tire would fall off or worse. they wouldn't touch it. so I had it towed to the hyundai dealership. they told me that to replace the sub frame in the front on the driver's side, it would cost $2000. when I towed the vehicle to hyundai, they said it could cost up to $5000. I couldn't afford to fix it. I then towed it home and it IS sitting in my garage. I wish I would have know about this problem before I bought.

In a letter dated april 14, 2009, hyundai-kia america technical center, inc (hyundai) notified nhtsa that it will conduct a safety recall of approximately 85,000 model year (my) 2001 through 2003 hyundai santa fe vehicles manufactured prior to january 27, 2003, that are registered and operated in the following salt belt states and the district of columbia:connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, and wisconsin.hyundai IS recalling the vehicles to remedy a condition where internal corrosion of either the right or left rear trailing arms may result in fracture of the affected arm while driving, which could result in loss of vehicle control and a crash.the rear trailing arms will be inspected in the recalled vehicles using a procedure developed by hyundai to measure metal thickness.parts with perforations from corrosion or with metal below the specified thickness will be replaced with redesigned trailing arms.if the minimum metal thickness IS met, drainage holes and and rust proofing material will be added to the existing rear trailing arms.although not subject components of this investigation, hyundai noted it would perform a similar procedure for the front subframes of the subject vehicles. Odi's analysis of complaint data revealed that 99% of all consumer complaints related to trailing arm corrosion were from vehicles either originally sold or operated in saltbelt states. Similarly 92% of the warranty claims were from vehicles originally sold or operated in saltbelt states.odi identified 30 rear trailing arm fracture incidents through analysis of complaint and warranty information and consumer interviews.twenty-nine (29) of the fracture incidents involved vehicles in states covered by the recall.based on hyundai's decision to conduct a safety recall this engineering analysis IS closed.
