#724 of 908 Re: 30,000 Mile Service..worth it? [sprintrps] by steve_ HOST Jul 14, 2008 (2:21 pm)
Replying to: sprintrps (Jul 14, 2008 1:19 pm) Ok, thanks, I'll pass the info along and the data people can check it out and fix the guide.   If you have that kind of personal relationship with the dealer, you may want to grin and pay a bit extra for your service. It sounds like you are ahead on the weatherstripping as it is and who knows what kind of "after-warranty" help they may give you on a future wear and tear item.   Easy for me to say since it's your money.

Replying to: sprintrps (Jul 14, 2008 1:19 pm) Owner's Manual clearly shows to replace the transaxle fluid at 30K   I just looked it up online at Hyundai's website and while it does say replace at 30K, it is under the category, "If Necessary". Now who decides when it is necessary is a very open-ended question! Replies to this message: steve_ (Jul 14, 2008 2:56 pm)

Replying to: tenpin288 (Jul 14, 2008 2:46 pm) lol, now that's covering the bases. The maintenance guide says to inspect the transmission fluid and drive shaft and axles at 30k. I'm assuming that means the transaxle is covered for fluid inspection - parts is parts.   So, an "automatic" recommendation of a fluid change looks more like a profit motive for the dealer than calling you up after it's on the lift and reporting a problem with the fluid color or odor.

Replying to: toycam11 (Jul 14, 2008 3:57 pm) Ok, our crack data team notes that the automatic transmission fluid change is listed under the “if necessary” column in the Edmunds Maintenance Guide and here's why:   Maintenance schedules are typically separated into two types based on your driving conditions: normal and severe. A maintenance schedule using “normal” conditions have less frequent suggested checks/inspections and less frequent fluid/filter changes. All of the maintenance schedules listed in our maintenance guide currently use the “normal” condition.   In this case, the 2007 Santa Fe’s transmission fluid change at 30k miles is required in the “severe” condition but not in the “normal” condition.   ----------------------   The normal vs severe service is another can of worms - it sounds like you would fall under normal service since you aren't towing or idling or driving on dirt roads. The dealer may suggest otherwise.

Replying to: js06gv (May 12, 2008 9:02 pm) My driver's side floor mat keeps coming loose from the anchor; aside from that there's no other carpet issues on my '07 SF Limited.
#731 of 908 Re: Check Engine Light [angel20] by leftcontact Aug 13, 2008 (5:32 pm)
Replying to: angel20 (May 16, 2008 5:06 pm) I had this happen - had the car in the shop 5 times in first 5k miles - kept replacing different things, and the light kept coming on within 15 miles or so. The 5th time I told them I don't want the car back without at least 20 more miles on the odometer and no engine light... it hasn't come on since. Sounds like it was this issue.

Replying to: toycam11 (Jul 14, 2008 8:54 am) I just had my brakes (07 santa fe) looked at because I suddenly started feeling/hearing a grinding -- they have 26K on them. My mechanic took them apart and cleaned them-- said everything looked brand new ( I do a lot of highway driving too-- between buffalo and rochester ny). He told me that they were just "frozen" in place-- and once he cleaned them all up -- they were back to normal. ( A lfriend recommended the santa fe-- and she has over 50K without replacing the brakes -- I believe she has an 06)
#733 of 908 power lumbar support by js06gv Aug 17, 2008 (10:27 am)
Anybody out there with problems with the power lumbar support on 2007+ SF? I had the mechanism inside the seat replaced once due to malfunction, and last night when I went to adjust the support it failed again. When it deflates I'm hearing a loud crackling sound inside the seat and then it won't inflate again.
