Average price in New York dealerships is around 35 dollars. Anything above that is pure robbery and should be reported to Hyundai Corporate...

Mountain Hyundai, here in Hamilton, ON, wants $99 for a CAF. I told them "No thanks" and went on ebay. Found them in California for $14.99 each. With delivery to Canada, the total was $41.00 for 2. I replaced the old one with one of the "California" models and it works great. My old one was brutal! Almost 2 years on it.
$99, eh? Talk about highway robbery. More like robbery, assault and battery.....
Maybe I should have used a furnace filter. A good 3M Filtrete is only $12 for a 16" X 25". I could cut it into 6 pieces! But I digress.....

That's what I did on my van. There's no activated charcoal in the big box store filter but I haven't had any complaints from my wife either, and she has a few allergies. CAFs for the van run from $60 to $80 around here.

...who will immediately do one of two things:
 
A) Have the dealer flogged and cancel his franchise,
 
B) Send you a form letter very close to the following:
 
"Thank you for your communication. Our dealers are independent businesses who set their own prices at their discretion. We welcome the opportunity to be of service."
 
Care to place a bet on which of these will likely occur? Ahem....

HMA, have you been to the dealer yet? Our's is a 2007 SE with third row and front seat backs squeak as well. Seems to happen more on the driver side and during turns. Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

I didn't take it to the Dealer but the Squeeking seams to have corrected
itself, that's a good thing as I don't like taking it to the Dealer
for anything, I even change my own oil.

Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear that your squeak is gone. We'll probably get it checked out at the dealer soon as our's seems to be getting worse...or maybe it's starting to annoy us more!

Stuck in Park by stuckinpark1

Bought used 04 Santa Fe in March 2008. Anyone have any problems getting out of park mode when parked at any kind of hilly angle? (and I live in a pretty flat area). Took it to mechanic - not sure what the problem could be (thinks in the transmission area). Have to rock car back & forth to get it out of park. Any help/suggestions please.

Try putting the emergency brake on first before you put it into park and when you are leaving take it out of park first then release the emergency brake. It sounds like you are doing the opposite and the weight of the car is leaning on the transmission while it is in park, and it is too much strain.
