#11 of 908 Re: Various Issues With My 2007 Santa Fe [sprintrps] by rbautista Nov 01, 2006 (1:17 pm)
Replying to: sprintrps (Oct 31, 2006 3:05 pm) In regrads to #2, I've had the same issue. The service department looked into and the mechanic could not find any problems. Their suspicion was that it has to do with the ABS. The confirmed it has nothing to do with the tranny. The mechanic test drove 3 other 07 Santa Fe's on the lot and they all did the same thing. This doesn't concern at all since it is covered by their warranty.   This is my first Hyuandai and I am not disappointed yet. My previous car was a Mitsu Eclipse and the service doesn't even compare to Hyundai's. When Hyundai looked into this issue for me, they gave me a loaner. Mitsu would always try to charge me for a loaner or wouldn't give me one at all.
#12 of 908 Auto Door Locks on '07 Santa Fe by trebl Nov 01, 2006 (1:53 pm)
I've seen posts elsewhere from people wanting their doors to automatically lock when the vehicle begins moving. Evidently, this feature isn't (or wasn't)preset at the factory. It's a simple re-programming which your dealer can do in a few minutes. I ran across this information someplace else but can't (due to older brain cells) remember where. I asked my service rep to set mine as below, and they didn't know it could be done on the new Santa Fe (they did know it could be done on the Sonata).   I apologize if this is old news.   From the 2007 Santa Fe Shop Manual   USER OPTION MODE The BCM (Body Control Module) offers 3 items user option mode for a user convenience (AUTO DOOR LOCK, ARMIDISARM BY KEY, HORN ANSWER BACK) It is able to set up the enable or disable of AUTO DOOR LOCK function or AUTO DOOR LOCK operation vehicle speed when using it. It is able to set up the enable or disable of enter the burglar alarm mode when using door lock by the key. It is able to set up the enable or disable of horn inform function when using door lock by the key or RKE. Select option "SNATAFF(CM)" and press ENTER. Select option "BODY CONTROL MODULE" and press ENTER.   Select option "USER OPTION" and press ENTER.   Select option "AUTO DOOR LOCK STATUS by using the direction button(& IT). Select the parameter by using the direction button( . I ) and press ENTER to save it. (Disable I 5km1h II Okmlh IISkmIh I 20kmlh I 2Skmlh 130kmlh 13SkmIh I 40kmlh)

Replying to: sprintrps (Nov 01, 2006 11:50 am) Thanks for your concern sprintrps. Luckily, no one was hurt. My wife was able to safely stop her vehicle (thank God there were no cars too close behind her). The other driver was particulary lucky because after he struck my wife's car he spun around several times across three lanes bouncing off between the left guard rail and center median of the highway. It was a young man in his early 20's driving his father's Durango with his girlfriend and several teenagers in the back seat. He received a carless driving ticket and was shaken up quite a bit (according to my wife), but all were safe. My wife made particular note of how "in control" she felt during the incident (It's no surprise to us though, we also have a 2001 Santa Fe).   - Frank.

Replying to: ravenfan50 (Nov 01, 2006 12:05 pm) I do not think there is any "official" documentation. I waited 3 weeks and then called Hyundai. The Hyundai representative was excellent. She contacted the parts dept, found out exactly when the panels would be shipped, and called me back a few days later to advise me that the panels had been delivered to my dealer.
#15 of 908 Re: Outside temperature error on Limited [slk70] by davesuv Nov 03, 2006 (5:38 pm)
Replying to: slk70 (Oct 30, 2006 5:34 pm) Thanks for the info slk70. Your solution was right on. The service manager at my Hyundai dealer was impressed that I had the correct answer to my temperature problem, before it was even released to the public. After consulting with Hyundai, they did the same fix to my Limited. He indicated that Hyundai will soon be issuing a TSB with this fix.   I can now read the outside temperature (Too bad it's getting so cold out. Sometimes I don't want to know how cold it's getting ).

#16 of 908 Ouside Temp on 2007 SE/Similar problem to Limited? by gangsplatt Nov 04, 2006 (5:53 am)
Replying to: davesuv (Oct 29, 2006 9:56 am) My 2007 SE has stopped displaying the outside temp on the trip computer. When I cycle through the different displays, i.e. Range, AVG MPG, etc outside temp doesn't even appear at all. I did hold the reset button in and it appeared but when I shut the car off and restarted it went away again. We like to have the outside temp always displayed since we live in the Northeast and its nice to know when the temp is close to freezing so we can be more careful when driving. Emailed my dealer for an appointment but am wondering if its a similar problem to what is occuring on the limited?

Replying to: gangsplatt (Nov 04, 2006 5:53 am) I have the exact same problem. I can only see the outside temperature when I turn the ignition on and "scroll" through displays. Once I start the car only the range, mpg, and trip odometer are available to view or reset. Let me know if you get a solution from your dealer.

#18 of 908 2nd row seat folding problem in SF with 3rd row seats by davesuv Nov 06, 2006 (4:24 pm)
I have the Touring package with the third row seats (which work very nicely). My problem is as follows:   I usually keep the third row seats folded down so I have more storage in back. If I then fold down the second row seat on the drivers side, I cannot easily fold the seat back up because the bottom rear of the seat back gets caught on the headrest of the third row seat. If I reach in with my hand and press the bottom/back of the 2nd row seat in and carefully guide it past the headrest, I can get it to fold up, but it's a pain.   Upon looking the situation over, I see that when I fold flat the third row seat, the compression of the seat back with the seat bottom pushes the headrest of the 3rd row seat up by about 1/2 inch. Just enough so the 2nd row seat back does not have enough clearance to easily fold up and down. This only occurs on the drivers side. The passenger side is a tight fit, but is able to open without my pressing it. If I take the 3rd row headrest off, I have no problem.   My question is, does anyone else have this problem, or is mine just an isolated case of things not being aligned correctly that I can get fixed by the dealer? Please let me know if you do or do not have this problem. Thanks.   2007 Santa Fe AWD Limited with Touring and Premium packages Replies to this message: jamit (Nov 09, 2006 11:33 pm)

Replying to: davesuv (Nov 03, 2006 5:38 pm) Glad I could help. No reason everyone has to lose the use of their vehicle for a few days while the problem is hunted down.   Also glad to know they are using the same fix. I was worried that this may not be Hyundai's standard fix long term. I figure it's worth while asking at the first oil change if they have changed the fix to something else in case this proves not to be the standard way to go. Also I figure to hold on to the repair slip in case I have to bring the vehicle to another dealer and they question who did the rewiring.
#20 of 908 Re: 2nd row seat folding problem in SF with 3rd row seats [davesuv] by jamit Nov 09, 2006 (11:33 pm)
Replying to: davesuv (Nov 06, 2006 4:24 pm) In Canada, I have the 2007 SF GL Premium AWD (7 seats) for 2 months. And I have no problems getting the 2nd row fold up/down with the 3rd row down. Before I fold each row down, I make sure the headrest is all the way down. There is an even gap between 2nd and 3rd rows when down. So I am pleased that I am not one of those isolated case. Yes, I would bring it in for misalignment. Let us know what happens. Thanks.
