Take it to the licensed Hyundai shop. The one that just replaced the sensors did not do a good job in finding the fault.

Because you are suffering a wide range of issues it sounds to me like your ECM (Engine Control Module) is faulting or failing.

The solution may be as simple as cleaning and/or tightening the battery terminals and/or electrical ground connections.

I have personally witnessed this same type of operational issues with a GM pickup that was caused by improper installation of a rear taillight bulb at the factory.

It could also be caused by improper system voltage levels whether too high or too low. (alternator output, bad battery, bad voltage regulation, faulty or failing vehicle speed sensor, pinched or severed wiring, etc.)

Possibly a loose or oxidized wiring connector somewhere, anywhere on the vehicle.

I support your taking the vehicle to a reputable Hyundai dealer and holding them financially accountable for performing the proper repair(s).

I ran across a similar problem with my mother's 2006 Hyundai and found high resistance between the alternator battery(+) terminal and the battery, causing a voltage drop. (Hyundai recommends anything more than .02volt drop between the alternator and battery is to repair the wiring.)

To check for the voltage drop connect a digital volt meter between the alternator and battery. The red (+) prob to the alternator battery terminal and black (-) prob to the battery positive terminal. The engine needs to be running under a full electrical load- head lights on AC running at full max.

The easiest way I found to repair the voltage drop is to run a new 4 ga. cable from the alternator to the battery with a 100 amp inline fuse.

After I installed the new cable it not only took care of the problem, the car actually ran better. It's been 2 1/2 years now and no problems

Hi, I had a Hyundai Santa Fe 2007 and had to sell it because the torque converter failed two times.

It was only possible to drive backwards at first, then I could drive normally for a day and after a day the transmition failed totally.

Also the electromagnetic clutch that engages 4WD failed. So the car starts to jump. I will never buy a Hyundai again.
