Anonymous, IL (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)""The check engine light came on and off intermittently. Then, the engine started to lose power and eventually stalled. We took it to the dealer. They replaced the engine, no cost to us, and recommended several service operations (new timing belt, transmission flush, and filter changes) costing $1,000...we agreed to those. But the engine light remains. The dealership now wants $800-1,000 more to fix the O2 sensors, which they say is causing the "check engine light" to remain on.""
Anonymous, TN (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"The standard GDi engine was replaced, with another GDi, 2.4L engine. Excessive carbon buildup on valve intakes on all 4 cylinders. While we have a NEW engine, Hyundai replaced it with another GDi engine with NO major improvements but warrantied the NEW engine with a 100,000 mile warranty, subject to ANOTHER potential engine replacement later on down the road forced on Hyundia/KIA corporation by NHTSA. I would NOT recommend this vehicleVERY problematic SUV."
