Latches/locks/linkages:hood:latch
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2013-2017 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the secondary hood latch actuating cable may corrode and bind, causing the secondary hood latch to remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed.
If the hood is not securely closed or the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATION WHEN TURNING SOMETIMES. IN SPORT MODE ITS FINE BUT ECO AND REG IT ACTS UP. I WAS ALMOST T-BONED CAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT A INTERSECTION.

THERE IS SOMETIMES HESITATION AFTER COMING TO A STOP. THIS IS ESPECIALLY FRIGHTENING AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS. I PUSH ON THE GAS AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. IT HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 20 TIMES, BUT IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AT A BUSY ROTARY. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS, BUT HYUNDAI HAS NO SOLUTION AS OF TODAY. I AM AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT EVENTUALLY.
Engine 100 mi 10 mo in service
2017 SANTA FE SPORT 2.0T ULTIMATE AWD - HESITATION OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM LOW SPEEDS, MOST FREQUENTLY OBSERVED WHEN MAKING TURNS. STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR CAUSES THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TO BLINK AND THE ENGINE TO EFFECTIVELY STALL OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS. WHEN THE THROTTLE DOES ENGAGE AFTER THE HESITATION, IT IS IN A VIOLENT MANNER. THIS HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY THAN NOT, AND IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR AND HAVE 20,000+ MILES ON IT. THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE. HAD I BEEN AWARE OF THIS SITE, I WOULD'VE FILED A COMPLAINT IMMEDIATELY.
