vehicle stalled and locked up was not able to push breaks or turn steering dealer advised me engine was stalled and needed to be replaced, was known in my model, this was why this vehicle and year had an extended warranty unto 200K miles. The engine was replaced and the vehicle is still not running correctly. When accelerating to turn on on highway, it seems stalled and doesn't move, returning to dealer tomorrow after being w/o a vehicle 3 weeks. It is not coming up on your recall notices and am concerned this is a safety issue.

2016 Santa Fe - While driving on interstate all warning lights came on - antilock brake, check engine, electronic power steering, vehicle grade, outside temp blinking blank.

I wish to file a complaint against Hyundai for the untimely manner in which they’ve handled recall 218. This recall has been in place for several months with many notifications that the recall exists. Yet, the company has failed to provide a solution to this highly sensitive and dangerous problem. At a moment’s notice, these cars can short circuit and burst into flames, this can be fatal and the company is not doing everything they should be to ensure their consumers are safe!

VEHICLE'S STEERING REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION. VEHICLE WILL NOT TRACK STRAIGHT. VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP VEHICLE IN A LANE, SOMETIMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. NOT A PROBLEM FOR IN-TOWN DRIVING, BUT A MAJOR PROBLEM ON HIGHWAYS. PROBLEM GETS EXPONENTIALLY WORSE AS SPEEDS INCREASE, ESPECIALLY ON I-45 AND I-130 IN CENTRAL TEXAS WHERE SPEEDS ARE 80+. WINDY CONDITIONS MAGNIFY THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS ESSENTIALLY WEAVING DOWN THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS SINCE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS HEADING TOWARD CENTERLINE OR SHOULDER. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE DE…

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED,WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO DRIVE. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THE ONLY WAY TO RESET IT WAS TO TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART THE ENGINE.

THE CAR WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP IN A DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING BECAUSE I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE CAR TO GET THE MAIL. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WENT TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AS I GOT OUT THE VEHICLE STARTED GOING IN REVERSE AND PULLED ME UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND THE VEHICLE RAN OVER ME. I'M NOT SURE IF THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF PARK TO REVERSE ON ITS OWN OR IF THE SHIFTER WASN'T ACTUALLY PLACED IN PARK. I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE COULD SENSE IF NO ONE WAS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND AUTOMATICALLY PUT THE CAR INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL. THE HEA…
