I bought a 07 AWD Limited Santa Fe a year ago. Honestly, it is an okay car. Some squeak and rattles, but I never had any mechanical failure. Initially, it drives ok. As time goes, I found the the front seats were too high. Also the shape of the seat was like a half egg shell. It was very uncomfortable. It takes me a month to find that out and I develop a serious lower back pain that affect my sleep. Also the leather used in Santa Fe does not last. Quickly, they look pretty beat up. When I decide to change car to ease my lower back pain, I went to several dealerships. Most of them were only willing to trade it for 1/3 of the price I paid. I end up give hyundai another try since they gave me the best trade-in value, which is about half of initial price. Another thing is that the dealer I bought it was bad. They promised me the loaner car when the car is in the shop. However, when I went to the dealership after I called to confirm the loaner car, they just told me that there was some problem with their computer and the loaner car was not available. Anyway, it is bad experience for me.

Hi all, new to this forum and new to Hyundai. Just purchased a new 2008 Santa Fe 3 weeks ago. I started reading this forum at that time and I am 1800 posts behind, so excuse me if this has been discussed already. I read that the dealer can program the door to auto lock at 15 mph. My question is can they be also programed to unlock when shifted into Park or the engine is shut off? BTW, so far love the truck, except for a vibration in the dash. Ouch, only 1000 miles and how will the dealer correct that?

Replying to: masantafe (Nov 06, 2008 10:20 am) The panel in question shuts against the side of the dash. The door panels just touch the ends of the dash when closed, and you can actually feel the vibration coming from the joint by the handle mechanism. I ended up putting a drop of superglue to join the panels together and stop the cavitation. So far it works. |
