worst part is what they charge for this car knowing it's fuked up

I got a letter from Hyundai stating this exact problem. Made an appointment got it repaired. Don't know why you wouldn't have got one.

I hope you will get a resolution soon. Thanks for sharing your concern.

For 2024, the Kia Seltos is no longer using the DCT, and replacing it with a traditional 8 spd automatic... gee I wonder why. 🙄

It's sad when a manufacturer and dealerships won't honor their warranties, and deny recalls. Buying a new AND used car is a gamble - if you get a lemon, you have to go through hell to hopefully get any help. And if you do, there's no guarantee the service departments know how to fix the problems.

if it's a secret or hidden recall, it means you have to scream loud to get it fixed. My son has a 2013 Hyundai Elantra that needed a new engine......I had to scream loud to get it fixed......

Thanks for sharing. I bought a Hyundai Santa Cruz in August of 2022 . I did get a recall notification letter for the trailer hitch recall but not for the turbo, body panel nor the transmission. I contacted Hyundai customer service, the 1-855 number and they advised that the recalls were specific to a car’s VIN implying that certain recalls did not apply to all Hyundai vehicles. Don’t know whether this is true or not.

Thanks for exposing these issues with Hyundai/Kia...

I was looking at hyundai cars today, and I'm so glad I seen your video, you have convinced me, so thank you.

Sorry you are going through that. Another reason why I am glad that I bought the base engine and base transmission on my Santa Cruz Sel.

Have had this truck for about 15k miles and love it but also VERY happy i got the base engine. Heard there were way too many issues with the turbo engine

I bought a 2023 Santa Cruz and I am experiencing the same problems. I brought it in and they had it for a month to repair. Got it back and the next day the same problems. I have to wait for a month to get a loaner car.

I never had any Problems but I got a recall! Went in for Service they reprogrammed it and that was it. I have the Letter I can show you the Letter. I have a 22 year relationship and it's been a great relationship with them. I have owned since 1999 owned one sportage 3 Souls and now my 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL Premium turbo with activity package. I pull a 19 foot Rock Wood Camper with no Problems. I Love my little Truck Swiss Army Knife. I get no money or anything! Rusty Clarke Chester/Enon Va. I bought my Truck for Broad Street Hyundai Richmond Va and get it Serviced at Colonial Hyundai Walthal Va. For 24 years I have had great Service. As soon as KIA gets their truck I plan to get another one for my wife! I got mine in August of 22 as soon as they came out. Love this little Truck. Sold my STX F 150 and never looked back. Mine came with 125k warranty and lifetime Synthetic Oil changes. I am Sorry he has problems but I have not . Except for getting a tow package and getting it put on and replaced the tail License plate lights got water in them.

Any update?

Hyundai corporation is such a sham.

Are they still catching on fire ??

There are no recalls for the newer 2023 Santa Cruz re: the DCT as far as I know. Anyone hear otherwise?

My SC went into "limp mode" as well (SEL non turbo) twice so far. First time, they replaced an o-ring and sensor and the second time, they stated they couldn't find the problem. My case manager said if it happens a third time, they will issue a buyback :/

I have 2023 base model at 16,277 miles that’s having transmission issues. Taking it into to beach blvd Hyundai next week to see what the issue is. Thanks for your information.

Got mine fixed No problems after that

Can you forward these documents to me?

If it only has 6,000 miles it should still be under warranty anyway right? I'm not seeing what the big deal is? I bought a Maverick instead and I have really enjoyed it. I like that it has a real 8-speed transmission

Almost bought one; glad I bought a Tacoma....

Our Hyundai dealer honored all repairs for the engine recalls and anything else , they have always taken care of anything and when have had many and still do, never a problem .

That's why I'm gonna wait for the Ford Maverick trimmer. It's hard to get, their sold out, but I'm a patient person.

The warranty includes towing does it not? If so I would have had it towed to the dealer I bought it from. Limp mode is meant to get vehicle off the road, not drive home lol

Surprised you haven't gotten the Hyundai fanboys and fangirls comments yet..." I've got 12,000 miles on mine and not a single issue." "You shouldn't be going around trashing a brand." "All car makers have a few bad ones. " Or, " It's a Public forum you are always going to hear more negative post than good ones." ... until something goes wrong with their Hyundai, then, crickets.

I have a 2022 Santa Cruz LTD and it has been working very well and all recalls have been dealt with and I'm at 70,000km and yes I'm in Canada that's 43,496 miles, maybe I'm just lucky

My truck is in the shop now transmission is gone it has 15,000km on it 2022 Santa Cruz.

40,000 miles on my hyundai sante fe transmission went out! POS

Trade it for a Honda Ridgeline, a much better truck!

i remember the old Hyundai excel cars my dad and sister had one because they were cheap couldn't move out of their own way lol my sisters engine blew right after she paid it off lol

Did you not look into the record of recalls for the last 5years ...they were the king of the recall record ...anything but Hyundai for me ....Mazda for me .

Thank you so much for the time you took to research and video. My mind was totally made up with this info. I will now stay the fuck away from hyundai. Crazy part of my story I was doing research because I was interested in buying a Santa cruz (not now)

You sit on your high horse and blame Hyundai Corporation when they have issued the recall, but your real problem in my opinion is with the Hyundai DEALERSHIP that isn't up to date or without a clue of the recall if that is actually the case. You probably paid a great deal over MSRP out there in California too. I'm guessing at least 5k over...YOU should have researched the dealership and their service department before you bought your vehicle there. Live and learn!😊

Ditto any car with dual clutch automantic trans all have power failures

Seems that newer vehicles like Toyota, Ford, Honda and others have so many issues, some very serious or "life threatening", it's like being prescribed medications with serious "side effects."

Hyundai doing the same sh*t to oversea customers. Rather than face the truth, hid it under the rug and hope people don’t find out about it.

Thanks for the info. Santa Cruz was on my short list. I might let this mini pick up line for every brand ride for a while. great info. I did hear through some reviews that the double clutch trans was not dependable !

Drive it to the dealer and leave it their,let them deal with it

It's a beautiful small truck. Too bad their dual clutch transmission are unreliable.

It's a Hyundai , low quality. I thought everyone knew that. It's a Korean vehicle.

Chrysler, KIA, and Hyundai are generally sold to people with poor credit that are unable to purchase Toyotas...

#From what I'm seeing on your paper in that book you got there it says Hyundai Santa Fe!! Seriously!!?!? 😳😅😮🧐🤷🤔🔔🔥🙌🤯

There’s no car that isn’t trashed on Internet forums. It’s gotten to the point that “research” before you buy is no different than reading Amazon reviews. You know some of them are total bs. Some are true. Some buyers are their own worst enemies. Some companies are terrible. Ultimately it comes down to having to guess based on an overload of documentation and anonymous information.

DO NOT get the Turbo Engine, it's a crap tranny in it. Go with the SEL Limited non turbo charged engine, that's where the problem is.

Hyundai definitely knows it exists. If you had them look it up by your VIN, and your VIN isn't currently attached to the recall, then sure, they will tell you that you don't have a recall.

Toyota does the same thing. Will lie to you about their truck frame rust.

Experience loss of power 2023 Hyundai

As far as the Santa Cruz is concerned the base engine and transmission combo is the way to go.

My Santa Cruz came with a CVT transmission.

I'm not surprised.. and that's why I have a Highlander 😆😅 These days old Toyotas are the way to go. $40k for a Hyundai? You can get; a Tacoma, 4 Runner or Tundra 😳

' hyundai / kia are family business... daewoo with american GM company... LG / samsung are family business

Maverick wins 🎉

Ive read Hyundai is ending, quietly ending production on the Santa Cruz...

I don't know if you are uniformed or just angry and acting out, but this recall is hardly hidden! All affected owners received a notice of this recall and searching by VIN, will instantly identify any affected vehicles. Did you throw away mail or buy this used, not sure but you are WAY off-base here, nothing hidden, no subterfuge or malice on the manufacturers part. Yes, it sucks (I own a 2022 SC), but it was not hidden or otherwise supressed...

Too bad you didn’t do that research before you bought it. Sorry that happened.

Hyundai 🤣

Ford are worse vehicles ever.

Ive had my 2011 Hyundai Accent for about 8 years and it has 221,000 miles on it-and it runs like a beast still🤘
