| 2007 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE AND THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS LOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SLIDE PLATE AND BRAKE PADS FROZE AND REMAINED ON THE ROTORS, AS A RESULT. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,200.

| 2006 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | AFTER ENGINE IS WARM, ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, THERE IS A GURGLING IN THE FUEL TANK WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ON (BEFORE AND AFTER THE ENGINE IS STARTED). I THINK IT IS FUEL BEING RETURNED FROM THE ENGINE. I HAVE HAD IT IN TWO DIFFERENT HYUNDAI SERVICE SHOPS, WITH THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED TWICE, AND A FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR REPLACED. HAVING GIVEN UP, BOTH SHOPS CONTACTED THE DISTRICT HYUNDAI OFFICE AND A FIELD SERVICE ADVISER TOLD THE LOCAL SHOPS TO SHOW THE EVENT AS "NORMAL". IT IS NOT NORMAL AND I THINK THE HYUNDAI DISTRICT OFFICE IS HIDING THE PROBLEM. COULD BE A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM AND COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF FUEL STARTS LEAKING. BOTH LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENTS NOW SHOW THE PROBLEM AS "NORMAL" AND NOTHING MORE WILL BE DONE ON THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IS APPROPRIATE. *TR |
