Well after 7 returns with the same engine light situation. I contacted lemon law, feeling no where to turn. A phone call from the dealer at 8am asking to bring my vehicle in on Wed and the Hyundai Specialist will personally take my vehicle and examine it. And she has one of the only CARDS to re program my vehicle. Amazing that this was one of the fastest selling models in our area, and I am the only one getting the special treatment. I had never gotten a phone call EVER from them when I asked them to call, but now they call me first. It is too late.. every time they touch my santa fe, it drives worst. I have a 1 year old baby, and I fear staling in the middle of traffic. What then? Mpg now is about 19 to 20 mpg

anytime you bring your car in for svc eng light - always request/demand the code that they retrieved from the car's computer using their diagnostic computer...
if your car has service engine light blinking or solid and the car has hesitation, jerking motion in drive or reverse, light goes on and off on its own with no intervention - the problem may be a TSB that just came in about a week ago - when I get the tsb # I will post on the tsb section - also - i'd like to see that the correction from the tsb works! problem may be o2 sensor bank 1 - i had code p2600

p.s: i might have another problem on my hands - p2600 refers to Coolant Pump Control Circuit/Open - so i don't see how the o2 sensor would be related unless something to do with engine/exhaust not heating up quick enough for O2 sensor to read properly - so hopefully the guy i talked to was misinformed as to what part would be ordered and installed - if the coolant pump is the problem then replacing the O2 sensor will not fix the problem! I'll keep all posted...

now I know that I should of insisted on getting the codes, after the run around I have had. My car does all those things, except I never noticed any problem in reverse. I have had jerking, staling, hesitation. I did not mention that 3 services ago they changed the o2sensor and was sure that would fix it, but it didn't. The latest is moving fuel injectors around to cylinder 2 and 3.. what ever that means. Since then the timing feels off. Could you please find the tsb on this problem.... Thanks

Hey all regarding ENGINE LIGHT!
Just got a call about my appointment tomorrow with the dealer.....after contacting lemon law everything is moving fast now. The dealer is putting all responsibility in Hyundai, and is blaming them for there problems... they will not touch this one. Hyundai America is coming to get my santa fe and taking it out of dealerships hands. Dealer tells me that he would have done the same thing, refering to calling lemon law....but still sells the vehicles on their lot. I asked him if he is informing all the people buying this vehicle, he declined to talk any further..... What does this mean for those who buy tomorrow?

my big OOPS! the code was actually P2a00 which directly relates to the O2 sensor bank 1 - i'll let everyone know what the tsb # is when and if i find out... they have to order along with cover for accessory power outlet behind center console. that cover is over $100 so don't break it - they covered me under warranty though...

this is a big deal! good that they are finally taking responsibility but bad that this looks like it could be a common problem that a lot of us will face- i really hope they find the problem or it results in a recall - otherwise - others of us will get the same run around if and when the problem comes to our vehicles...

Since reading the posts, over time, and with my own experiences, there seems to be a pattern developing of electronic failures :
me: temp sensor failed
brake light switch failed
others: map light issues, temp sensor wrongly wired, starter realy failed, check engine light errors, mpg errors,front air bag weight sensor errors, driver door window regulators failing, error codes wrong, TPMS errors
It's no wonder that the CEO of hyundai became obsessed with rejecting all electrical components that didn't work to specs.according to one previous post.
