MY 2013 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT 2.0T IS ON THE REXALLL LIST FOR ENGINE PROBLEMS; IT WAS AT DEALER LAST WEEK WHER THEY CHANGED OUT FUEL PUMP & SUPPOSEDLY CORRECTED AN ISSUE W METAL DEBRIS IN OIL GOING TO ENGINE. HAD PROBLEMS LESS THAN 48 HOURS LATER; WAS TOLD I COULD BRING IT IN OR TAKE TO GET BATTERY TESTED. NOW, 48 HOURS AFTER THAT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I BELIEVE THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS THIS IS PART OF THE RECALL ON THIS MODEL. IT DOESN'T SOUND OR FEEL RIGHT COMPARED TO YOU HOW IT WAS DRIVING A MONTH AGO WHEN I PURCHASED US…

I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE I80 20 MILES WEST OF LINCOLN, NE AT APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH. I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND IT LOCKED UP IMMEDIATELY, THE TACHOMETER DROPPED TO 0 RPM AND I LOST POWER STEERING. THIS VEHICLE HAD ALREADY HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED FOR THE KNOWN ENGINE LOCKING ISSUE. WITHOUT SOME QUICK REACTION THERE VERY EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERE INJURIES.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 55MPH, IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, AS WELL AS JUST SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. EVERY OTHER TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES THEN GOES OFF, ON/OFF, ON/OFF ETC... AND JUST AS OFTEN AS THE LIGHTS CHANGES THE SHIFTING IT'S EXTREMELY HARD WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. THEN THE VERY NEXT DAY, IT RUNS PERFECTLY FINE. HOWEVER, IT REACHES EXTREMELY HIGH RPM'S BEFORE SHIFTING. WHEN IT DOES THAT, IT LITERALLY FEELS LIKE THE BOTTOM OF TH…
