Description of the problem	This is to make aware of potential/ possible engine fire cause in some hyundai vehicles. I own a 2011 santa fe. At less than 70k miles the oil light began to flicker and leak oil. Dealership indicated i ruined engine and i was responsible for all repair costs due to bla bla bla. I took vehicle to independent shop and they found and replaced defective oil pressure switch hyundai #9475037000 which leaked oil onto top engine, created a large pool of hot oil that sat there hidden under other components. ( fire hazard ). Then- at 130k miles it happened again. Repeat replacement of genuine defective oil pressure switch and hot oil on engine (fire hazard) contacted hyundai to explain the fire hazard defective oil switch issue. All they could say was take it to dealership. Well i did just that the first time this happened so why go back and go thru the same bs. The 2 switches failing and hidden oil pools on a hot engine should be a red flag and maybe an answer to all the past car fires reported here. Included is photo of the defective parts that where replaced. Note- the switch location is in the v cavity under the intake manifold. Impossible to see and if it starts spewing hot oil out there's no way see it.
