Hyundai Santa Fe 2002 Seat Belts Rear Review #10161861

HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2006.HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company had a problem with SEAT BELTS:REAR . my daughter called out "help, mommy! i'm stuck!" i looked in the rear-view mirror to find the shoulder-belt of my vehicle was wrapped around her neck. i thought it was only pulled to the side of her head so i asked her to duck her head out. she said "i can't, i'm stuck!" i pulled to the side of the road. when i got to her, her face was getting red. i ducked her head under the belt. to my horror, the belt was wrapped around her neck again. thankfully she could call to me. this could have been a terrible tragedy. the locking mechanisms on the shoulder-belts that are supposed to activate when you fully retract the belt to install a child safety seat are broken. i have been through three defective mechanisms so far. when i first installed the seat, the mechanism worked. after needing to remove the seat at one point and disengaging the mechanism, it quit working. it never locked again. so, i scheduled an appointment with the dealership to have the problem fixed, as my vehicle was still under warranty. in the meantime, i moved her seat to the other side of the vehicle. same problem. the locking mechanism of the belt worked, until i had to disengage it. then that side broke. my vehicle was no longer under the bumper to bumper warranty, so i moved the seat to the repaired side. after a while, i needed to move her seat and disengage the locking mechanism. it quit working! i called the dealership. the part was under warranty, but labor wasn't. i didn't have it repaired because i couldn't afford it at the time. in order to keep my seats installed correctly, i began using the locking clips that came with the seats. (now i have two children.) this handles the seats being installed safely, but it doesn't deal with the fact that the belts of my vehicle can move freely because the locking mechanisms are broken. because of this my inquisitive two-year old was able to successfully pull on the belt and wrap it around her neck nearly two complete times. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):KM8SC73D82U.

HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002 car safety problem was reported on Feb 14, 2007.HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . there is a failure in the electrical system. when heat is running lights dim. when i roll up windows, the lights dim. when using windshield wipers the heat gets colder. little things that weren't so bad at first. heat would fail to turn on occasionally and now will not come on at all. this is causing my windows to frost while driving making visibility very hard. if it weren't for all the other little electrical problems i would just think the heating system went bad. but it has been a pattern in everything electrical on this car. a few times i would go to start the car and it would not start. if i turned everything off then it would start. thought maybe was bad battery until i got a new one and it still wouldn't start. i had the new battery tested and it was ok. i believe it is another electrical issue. *jb.Hyundai Santa Fe 2002 problem was reported in ADA, OH.

HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002 car safety problem was reported on July 05, 2007.HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . grinding and other odd noises when braking in my 2002 sante fe. purchased the car new and i have replaced the hydraulic brakes once a year since i purchased it. i have complained to two different hyundai dealerships and to hydundai motor corporation. itself and was told that i must be a brake rider and city driver. either of these is true. i have never had to replace brakes every 8-10,000 miles on any car i have ever owned. i was told a complete, full brake job must be done each time because the rotors are so thin that there is little margin for error of over resurfacing. this could cause a very serious situation. i was told by one service manager from one hyundai dealership that he would never allow his wife and children in this particular car with turned down rotors and that he would rather lay out the hundreds of dollars on constantly replacing the front brakes for piece of mind. i was spoken to like i was an idiot by hyundai customer service line when i complained and my concerns of an inferior braking system were ignored. i have just had my fifth set of front brakes put on the car and was actually told by a new service manager that between him and i, that the brake pads were made for a small vehicle not an suv of this size, and that this car was known for brake problems. this only confirmed what i tried to explain to hyundai as was also told to me by two other private party repair centers. i now refuse to allow hyundai to charge me almost double the price to replace their inferior, cheap braking system. they apparently put cheap, horrible wear and tear parts in their car, so you will need to replace them very regularly. resulting in them making a bundle and then some back on their oh so great bumper to bumper warranty. i actually saw their brake pad and it is small. *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):KM8SB12B42U.

HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002 car safety problem was reported on Oct 10, 2008.HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR . we found that both rear trailing arms we completely rusted through. we had to get them both replaced by the dealer for $650 a piece. the old parts were discarded by the hyundai dealer. the dealer thinks this is normal ware and tare on an 2002 vehicle. the problem that i have is that the rear trailing arms are a major suspension component. fifty percent of the vehicle weight resides on these components. hyundai should have build them with highest quality in mind. my opinion the rear trailing arms should have lasted longer then the fender on the car. their was no event leading up to the suspension problem. one day the car felt like the wheel alignment was out. the vehicle was very hard to handle on the road. we then arranged for the car to get a wheel alignment. they said that they couldn't do a alignment because their is a suspension problem with the rear trailing arms. they also informed us that the car is not safe and to bring it to a dealer to get fixed. i feel this could have been a fatal accident!!! *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 145000 miles.

HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002 car safety problem was reported on Sept 06, 2010.HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR . i own a 2002 hyundai santa fe which was the subject of a recall notice based on nhtsa campaign id number 09v123000 which addressed a problem with corrosion of the rear trailing arms in vehicles located in the salt belt states. i took the vehicle to a hyundai dealer service center on 1/18/10 where they supposedly inspected it and performed the necessary "corrective" procedures on the rear suspension (according to the dealer invoice, they inspected and applied wax to the trailing arms). on 9/6/10, one of the rear trailing arms on the vehicle collapsed due to extreme rust and corrosion. given that only 8 months has passed, it leads me to believe that the condition of the trailing arms on 1/18/10 would have warranted a full replacement instead of a wax application. as a result of the trailing arm collapse, the right rear tire became extremely unstable to the point of nearly falling off of the vehicle. i had the vehicle towed to an independent automotive establishment who diagnosed the issue which was subsequently confirmed by the same dealer who performed the initial "corrective" procedure. the dealer did retrieve the vehicle and promptly replace both rear trailing arms. in this instance, fortunately i was able to handle the vehicle so that there were no injuries or damages to other people or property, but the outcome could have been very bad had there been a resultant accident. i wanted to file this complaint to warn other owners of other recalled hyundai santa fe vehicles that hyundai's prescribed "corrective" procedure for the recall is not sufficient!!! i also own a 2003 hyundai santa fe for which the same type of recall was issued. i had the same procedure performed on that vehicle, and i don't trust that the problem has been resolved. *tr.Mileage was 105300 miles.

HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002 car safety problem was reported on June 12, 2013.HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002, manufactured by Hyundai Motor America had a problem with POWER TRAIN . when ever the under engine gets wet the car turns off and the brake light and oil lights come on. when it stops i can't turn the wheel and it locks up. i was driving on interstate in the rain and the car started jolting that the car was off then on then off then on again. i had no control of the car in the torrential rain going 60 miles an hour. whenever it rains or if i go through a puddle of water this has happened again and again. when i took it to the auto dealer that i bought the car from, i was told that normally there is an engine undercover but there is not one on my car nor was there ever one put on by the manufacturer. having no engine undercover causes the car to stall out whenever water is splashed up onto the engine. this causes the belt to ajar and that stops electrical from flowing to the car and therefore it stalls out at very dangerous times; like driving in traffic or driving on the interstate. no engine undercover is available and therefore the problem can not be fixed. what do i do about this dangerous behavior of the car??.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 71000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):KM8SC13D42U. Hyundai Santa Fe 2002 problem was reported in TAMPA, FL. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002 car safety problem was reported on Sept 28, 2014.HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002, manufactured by Hyundai Motor America had a problem with STEERING . power steering became harder (with a shimmy feel in steering wheel), and noticed a loud whining sound when steering wheel was moved. stopped car, and checked p/s fluid level, and it was lower than normal (checked on a regular basis). this morning (9/29/14), noticed a large puddle of oil on driveway below car. again checked p/s fluid level, and it was well below the min. mark. went to store and bought p/s oil, and filled up the reservoir. returned home and saw p/s fluid dripping onto the driveway, refilled the reservoir, and went to the local hyundai dealer to have it checked out. the dealer inspection revealed rusted metal lines leading to and from the p/s cooler (below radiator), and quoted $540 for replacement of the metal lines and cooler (& 2 days lead time to get parts). there is no recall notice for this corrosion issue. later went to the local aaa repair center, and they confirmed the hyundai dealer's findings. both indicated this is a common problem for this car if they had been driven in the northern states (this car was purchased new in northern ohio, & garaged there for 8 years). this is a safe driving issue if the p/s pump fails due to insufficient p/s oil for cooling & lubrication due to fluid loss from corroded metal lines. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 137390 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):KM8SC73D82U. Hyundai Santa Fe 2002 problem was reported in WILLIAMSBURG, VA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002 car safety problem was reported on July 04, 2014.HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2002, manufactured by Hyundai Motor America had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . shortly after having a complete brake overhaul (rotors, calipers, pads, shoes, etc) started experiencing the abs/trac control lights randomly coming on and off. had to mechanic and found no fault issues. lights continued to randomly come on and off, at different speeds and braking. shortly thereafter, started hearing the abs motor run with and without the lights coming on. tapping the brake pedal stopped the abs motor/pump from running and would eliminate what appeared to be eliminated the pump resetting itself. approximately 3 months ago, the issue affected braking distances, in hat you may be stopping at a light or stop sign and the abs motor would activate, even on dry pavement and significantly increase stopping distance. this has almost caused an accident on multiple occasions, not only with other vehicles but when pulling the car into my, or a shops' garage. having been researching i have found numerous complaints of 2002 santa fe's having the same issues, and have found that hyundai has issued service bulletins that are abs associated, but there has been no action to recall or fix the issues. i do not understand why there hasn't been a recall, as there have been recalls for what appears to be the same issue on later year vehicles, so it would appear that this is a systemic problem with the santa fe model abs braking systems..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 145000 miles.
