#8 of 24 Re: 2001 Sensor Crank Broken [edmac1] by wvowner Feb 07, 2008 (5:23 am)
Replying to: edmac1 (Feb 06, 2008 6:50 pm) They said if it was part of the drive train it would have been covered. The thing is they say it is NOT part of the drive train. How can you argue with the manufacturer? I don't have the money to sue for this.

Replying to: wvowner (Feb 07, 2008 5:23 am) The issue here is the description of the crank sensor itself as compared to what is considered a "Powertrain" component. The simplest way to describe this is that a "Powertrain Component" covered under the powertrain warranty is a lubricated moving part that sends power to the drive wheels. On a Hyundai this pretty much covers all "Non Electronic" parts from wheel to wheel as long as there is a drive axle attached. In other words on a front wheel drive only vehicle the front wheel bearings are a powertrain part but not the rears. The crank Sensor is a non moving, non lubricated electronic sensor that has a 5/60 warranty. I assume that this is a 2.4 4 cyl and when it broke it took out the tone wheel and timing belt and grenaded the engine when the valves kissed the pistons. What you need to understand that the dealer does not make up the warranty policies and procedures, the manufacturer does and if the failed part isn't covered the damage caused isn't either. I hope this clarifies the powertrain issue a little. Replies to this message: imanikristina (Oct 16, 2008 9:54 am)
#11 of 24 crank shaft sensor by surfer6 Jun 28, 2008 (10:24 am)
Does anyone know where the crank shaft sensor is located on the Sante Fe 02? I have replaced the fuel pump thinking that was the problem, but not. Test drove and the car died, got it started and drove it home. Now it will not start at all.

Replying to: chiwlf (Mar 30, 2008 12:58 pm) Good Afternoon,   At this very moment, my 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe is being repaired at the local Hyundai dealership.   On Tuesday nite, my Santa Fe started stalling - on a busy street - and then stopped when the engine light came on. After over an hour, roadside service arrived and gave me a "jump". After turning on my lights, high beam and the air conditioner, he said there was nothing "major" wrong with my vehicle; neither the battery nor the altenator were the problem. After letting it run for a few minutes, I attempted to drive home. Less than 2 miles later, it stopped again. Again, I let it run for 10-15 minutes and drove the last 2 miles home.   The next morning it was towed to the dealer. Their assessment: "Battery testing bad. Charging system tested fine. Replaced battery and retested system. Condition corrected." I agreed to have the battery replaced based on this assessment - although the roadside service said there was no problem with my battery, since I had 55,700 miles on my vehicle.   I purchased 4 new tires in August and did not get a front-end alignment. Therefore, I told them to do a front-end alignment as well.   When I got my bill, I was being charged for a "4-wheel alignment" rather than a front-end alignment. The service department person told me each of these procedures cost the same. Again, what did I ask for? What did I receive?   I paid my bill and fewer than 2 miles later, my vehicle stopped - on the expressway!! I immediately phoned the dealer and made him aware of the magnitude of my discontent. They sent a tow truck - over an hour later. They loaned me a 2008 Santa Fe and reminded me that I was responsible for the gas. I received a call yesterday afternoon and, after running additional test, it was determined that that the Crank Sensor went bad. It is covered under the 5/60. I'll pick it up later this afternoon. Let us not talk about how I really, really feel about my experience...   ImaniKristina (ichessmom2aol.com)
#13 of 24 I feel your pain! by klaidlaw Oct 20, 2008 (11:29 am)
I've just retrieved my 2003 4 Cylinder Santa Fe, having broken down on the side of Canada's busiest highway (the 401) TWICE in the past three months with a faulty crank shaft sensor. Even my mechanic feels sorry for me! I've read that the 2001 V6 Santa Fe's had a crank shaft sensor recall - I'm beginning to think it shouldn't have stopped there!
#14 of 24 Break Lights on the 2004 Santa Fe by imanikristina Oct 20, 2008 (7:03 pm)
Good Evening,   While the service department manager was assessing my vehicle - the first time -, he noticed that 2 of the 3 brake lights were out. He said they could replace them for $25.00. I said thank you, but no thanks.   After reading my manual, I went to Wal-Mart's automotive section and purchased a 2-bulb pack of 27 watt combination bulbs. The total price - $1.96!! In my garage last Saturday nite, armed with my electric screw driver as well as a manual philips screwdriver, I changed both bulbs within 45 minutes. It is truly amazing what these people try to get away with and no one holds them accountable. Perhaps a letter to the corporate headquarters - along with my receipt would make a difference...   ImaniKristina (ichessmom2bellsouth.net) Replies to this message: tidester (Oct 20, 2008 9:36 pm) espo35 (Oct 16, 2009 4:50 pm) imanikristina (Jan 18, 2010 6:17 pm)

Replying to: wvowner (Jan 10, 2008 3:59 pm) Did you ever get any satisfaction from Hyundai? I have the same problem. 2003 Santa Fe 2.4L with 65,000 miles. Crankshaft angle sensor broke, and pieces caused timing belt to jam and snap. Replies to this message: imanikristina (Dec 15, 2008 10:22 am) stush (Mar 11, 2009 2:58 pm)

Replying to: novnog (Dec 14, 2008 1:18 pm) Good Afternoon,   Fortunately, my 2004 Santa Fe was still under warranty. They fixed it at no cost to me.   Kind regards, Loretta Replies to this message: stush (Mar 11, 2009 2:58 pm)
