In fact, by opting out of mandatory arbitration, you are restoring rights that would be otherwise limited. Your warranty is still in effect, you're just increasing your options under law. By the way, the letter has to go to Hyundai USA, not the dealer. All the dealer does is sell you the car. Warranty issues go back to the importer/distributor/manufacturer. If I'm wrong on this, hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I will chime in. To quote Charles Barkley, "I am often wrong, but I am never in doubt."

Replying to: rich123 (May 30, 2009 3:28 pm) Most Santa Fe's were equipped by the dealers with an additional key operated Ignition disarm feature (an add-on feature they try to make you pay extra $ for, of course!) as well as the standard Hyundai alarm system,that flashes on the top dashboard, that may be what they are referring to. If so equipped, you should have an insertable plastic "key" (not the normal Ignition key) which is inserted into the "lock" under the dash below the steering wheel, which, when removed, does not allow the ignition to complete the circuit to start the engine.Therefore the engine is made in-operable unless the key is inserted. |

Replying to: tidester (Jul 29, 2006 10:02 pm) I really, really like it so far. It's hard to not really goose the gas and have some fun (I'm trying to follow the manual's 500 mile "breakin" recommendation). I probably could have done perfectly well with a Tucson Limited, except for the gutless 2.7L engine. Once I tried the 3.3L, I was hooked. So far, so good. Steering and brakes feel very good. I haven't "tested" the handling yet, but it too seems like it'll be perfectly adequate. My only problem is that I got a book for the wrong nav system, so I haven't been able to figure out the radio presets yet.

| Just brought 09 Santa Fe like it except varied noises when driving which I can live with just now. The fact that there is no backup system bothers me immensely. There should be a backup camera and or sensors. It makes no sense that it is not an option. Parking without seeing the bumpers is crazy. If they dont want to help they should have made it so aftermarket could help. If anyone has overcame this please let me know. Otherwise vehicle okay. | |

Hi: Hope this might be the right place to post my question. So far, very happy with our new car -- seems to have all the bells and whistles, but... The available car didn't have an OEM navigation/audio system installed so we took the dealer's offer of a Pioneer x710bt with bk/up camera, Sirius radio, iPod, usb,etc. Does the car come with its own (10, I think) speakers and amplifier installed? I think so, because they seem to be there. But the lowest audio system sounds demonstrate the sub-woofer is not operating separately either through the Pioneer amplifier or the OEM amplifier. Installer person sort of gave imprecise answers when questioned about the lack of separate sub-woofer control from the head unit. He talked about difficulty of getting proper connectors, etc, but that everything should work fine. Question: Does anyone know if the Pioneer x710bt can actually operate an installed oem sub-woofer independently? The Installation manual would suggest it can. So I wonder why they wouldn't have made the proper connections. Any help appreciated before I go to ask more questions. Anybody used to hearing the full sound-spectrum knows when a separate sub-woofer isn't operating independently from the others.
