#740 of 908 Re: New to Santa Fe and this forum [tonyflan07] by jcwsbltd Sep 03, 2008 (8:37 am)
Replying to: tonyflan07 (Sep 02, 2008 11:31 am) Hi - there are two things you can do :   In the search box on the front page, type in front air bags and it will bring up the previous posts about this well known issue and what others have experienced.   Also go to the website of the Government Office of Defects Investigation complaints page(www.odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/complaints) and check out Hyundai Santa Fe 2007 - there you will see on the first page 21 claims for front airbag sensor complaints.   Unfortunately, these have been happening since the first vehicles were made in 2006. No-one seems to know whether it is just a malfunctioning sensor, or if it actually does keep the airnags from deploying, or if it is badly postioned seat weight sensors, or even at what design weight the sensor activates.    For instance, if it is a 100 lbs. then that brings up safety questions for small adults and children in the front seat.   Hope you get it resolved.
#741 of 908 Extended Warranty by srz948 Sep 10, 2008 (4:00 am)
Just purchased a new SF. I think I read somewhere that you can extend the 5/60 bumper to bumper warranty to 10 years for $1500. This was not offered to me by the dealer. Is this true and is it a Hyundai warranty? Replies to this message: lucky15 (Sep 10, 2008 2:24 pm)

Replying to: srz948 (Sep 10, 2008 4:00 am) The 5/60 bumper to bumper warranty on your 2008 isn`t really bumper to bumper coverage, read the fine print, as for the extended warranty to 10 years for $1500 I wouldn`t get it if it is available, it really isn`t bumper to bumper either and it is overpriced at $1500, I paid $800 extra for the extended warranty in 2007 from Hyundai Motor Co. and I`m sorry that I wasted the money, my 2007 is running fine but I`m not sure I will keep it longer than 5 years, I don`t think Hyundai Motor Co. carries extended warranty coverage any more. I hope this helps.

Replying to: js06gv (Aug 17, 2008 10:27 am) I have the 2007 SE AWD SF, with the power lumbar (1 1/2 years, 23k miles). Thus far, no problems or unusual noises...knock on faux wood.
#744 of 908 Help-->2008 Santa Fe transmission problem by shmshen Sep 23, 2008 (4:04 pm)
I bought my 2008 Santa Fe in the middle on this May. Now it has 1650miles. It was great until yesterday (September 20). When I started, turned the transmission to “D”, pressed the gas pedal. Then I can feel the car was jerking. Apparently the transmission was working not smoothly. It used to work very smoothly until yesterday. After the first incident, I tried the “R” and it also had the same problem. The problem usually happens when I start the car and sometimes at the stop sign after a full stop.    Then I try something in the uphill (but it has a very small grade): drive to a position in the uphill, stop and park it. Then switch to “D” again, the car CANNOT stop and start retrogress. At this time, I push the gas pedal harder, then the car begins move forward with jerking.    This is a brand new car and I did not drive it a lot. I do not do oil change or any maintenance yet.    Went to my nearest dealer this morning and they said there IS a problem in the transmission: No codes in system - internal mechanical concern - low pressure at idle possible pump failure in trans.    But they refused to work on it and advice me to bring it to the dealer where I purchased it. So I drove to the dealer where I bought and still waiting for their test.    That is bad, it only has slight above 1600 miles .   Does anybody have the similar problem?

Replying to: shmshen (Sep 23, 2008 4:04 pm) I haven not had any similar problems, but the fact that the Hyundai dealer told you to take it back to the dealer you purchased it from is so wrong. All Hyundai dealers are required to honor warranty repairs regardless of where the vehicle was purchased. At the very least, I would let Hyundai Motors America know about this conduct. Good luck.

#747 of 908 Re: MP3 Player [srz948] by wachsf Sep 29, 2008 (5:59 pm)
Replying to: srz948 (Aug 29, 2008 8:03 am) My (wife's) new SF has the RSE instead of navigation, and I have yet been able to get it to display the playlist from any MP3 CD. I burned 4 CDs using Nero with a variety of UDF/ISO settings, but still no luck. What bugs me is that the owner's manual clearly states that it can display song title and artist info from MP3 and WMA files, as well as navigate through directories. Instead, it always displays "TRACK 1" regardless of which track it's playing.   Has anyone else been able to see title and artist info on MP3 discs?

Replying to: wachsf (Sep 29, 2008 5:59 pm) Just asking, but are you burning a regular CD (playable in any CD player) using MP3 files, or are you creating a data CD consisting of MP3 files? I have a 2007 SF, and the MP3 song titles do show. I burn the CD as a data CD, and I save each album in a separate directory using "Artist-Album" as the directory name. Each MP3 file in the directory I named using the track and title (e.g. 01 SongName.mp3). Don't include a playlist file (some programs add a playlist for MP3 disks for use in a computer). Works fine, displays the directory and the song on the display, and you can navigate from directory to directory and song to song within a directory.

Replying to: drwoodr (Oct 01, 2008 5:20 pm) Thanks for replying.   I burned data CDs. I even tried CDs made using Windows Media Player 11 and iTunes. iTunes puts all files on the root folder, while WMP retains the folder structure organized by artist and albums. WMP also includes a playlist on the CD. CDs made using Nero were pure data CDs with only MP3 files, and no playlists.   All have the same problem - no song titles, and worse yet, all songs say "TRACK 1" no matter what song is playing. I can skip forward and back, but the display seems like it has lost all of its intelligence.   On a slightly related note, it has problems skipping over songs on regular audio CDs. It will play though, but once I skip a song, it gets stuck and loops at the first 1 second of any song indefinitely. I find it hard to believe this and the MP3 problem are related, but maybe they are.   Looks like I need to make a trip to the dealer to see what the other SF's do with these same CDs.
