Hyundai is aware of ongoing problems with their 2.0 turbo motors, but the recall only covers the rod bearing failure/knock sensor issue. Many owners, including myself, are experiencing blown head gaskets, and several believe this failure is directly related to the same underlying engine defect.  This is not an isolated case\u2014numerous complaints online and in owner forums describe the same problem. Despite the high repair cost and known engine vulnerabilities, Hyundai refuses assistance because my vehicle is outside the mileage limit, even though the defect is widely reported and appears to be a design/manufacturing issue, not normal wear and tear.  I believe NHTSA should investigate whether the head gasket failures in these 2.0 turbo engines are linked to the same defect that prompted Hyundai\u2019s engine recalls, as it presents significant safety risks (engine overheating, sudden power loss, potential for fire).   In 2018, the Center for Auto Safety formally petitioned the NHTSA to investigate 2011\u20132014 Hyundai Santa Fe models (among others) due to a high number of non-collision fire complaints, including reports of melted wires, smoke, and burning odors in the engine bay  \ufffc.  While this isn\u2019t directly about head gasket failures, it underscores a pattern of serious safety-related issues affecting that generation of Santa Fe vehicles.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"SANTA FE SPORT","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]}]}
