I also have a Santa Fe limited that was built in November 06. My map lights do not go on. Would you be so kind as to pass on the information for your Hyundai contacts so that I can get this fixed. It so dark in the vehicle at night without those lights.
 
Thanks

We just picked up our cargo cover last Saturday at Lujack's in Davenport, IA. We didn't pay over $260.00, including tax. I don't know if this was dealer cost. When I get home I will look at the invoice to see what I can find out.

Cargo Cover by colonel717

I had a big issue with my salesman on this accessory. He said oh its included with Limited. I'll be sure to take care of that for you if it isn't as it should be for the price of the vehicle.
 
I went and checked and there was an SE in the showroom that had one in it. List price on sticker said $100. Salesman wasn't around so I took his word for that he'd take care of it. Then the salesman says as we were signing all the papers, you cant get that with Ltd. I was baffled then showed him there are slots to put the cover. He then said well I can order one for you. I said fine do that.
 
Next day he calls and says the cover will cost $300. I was shocked and said how can it cost that much. I said look at the SE right in front of your desk it says $100 cost on there. He didn't believe me, so I said get off your butt and walk literally 7 feet from your desk He says, oh you are right. Then he calls parts and they tell him no its $300. Its only $100 if it is put in from factory. He says he can get it to me for $192. Not sure how they came up with that price, but I just said forget it. Not worth near that much.

It seems as though Hyundai should do a recall on the vehicles built in first generation and fix the map lights in all vehicles since it was their mistake to start with. Are recalls only done on major defects?

I feel the need to apologize for minimizing the map light issue. When I thought about it, I wouldn't want to get into a dark car at night. Society isn't what it used to be and I am just naive at times. Perhaps if enough people got together, Hyundai would issue a recall. As you said earlier, this is a safety issue. Also, if you are trying to buckle kids into car seats and can't see, how do you know they are buckled in safely? Maybe you know instinctively, but our kids are in their 20s now and I couldn't buckle a baby in a seat now ; they are too complicated for me. When I'm with my sister, she always does it.

The cargo cover we picked up listed for $288. We paid $242.21 and the dealer installed it. I'm sure it didn't take long. They also enabled the auto locks for us. My SF Limited came with the cargo tray and floor mats. I knew from reading the forums that these aren't necessarily standard, so I didn't push for the cargo cover. I thought I got a good deal all around.

map light issue by kmwilson

I contacted my dealer yesterday and he indicated that service thought the map light thing is covered under the warranty and could be fixed.....this seems very different from what everyone is saying on here. If it is an easy fix, then it would seem we would all have it fixed. I will let you know if it works that way.

Well ,I don't want to get anybody's hopes up but I just left the dealer and they are ordering the parts for the new front dome light fix under warranty. They will call me when they get the parts. As soon as I get it fixed, I'll inform everybody about the fix. Probably in about 2 weeks. I'm not going to rejoice until the fix is done. I will keep you posted. Gord

That would be good news indeed...PLEASE keep us posted...Part numbers would be great too!
 
There are so many stories about this...I am confused...and i got different ones from consumer affairs too...My poor dealer had no idea what it was even about!...if there is a TSB, perhaps you can get the # for the rest of us...darn...it really is dark up there!!!
 
TIA!!!

Torque Steer by rukiddingme

Today I took a test drive in a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. I liked the styling, however I was stunned by the abundant torque steer and the kickback steering. This condition was evident in moderate acceleration and frankly I consider this engineering flaw to be dangerous and fatal to my purchase of this vehicle.
I cannot understand why Hyundai would allow the manufacture of the 07 Santa Fe with this serious flaw.
I am curious though about how new owners feel about this problem?
