| In the morning when I first start my 2008 Santa Fe during the cooler mos. and all winter, the engine rpm jumps immediately to approx. 2000 rpm and stays there for at least 20-30 secs. and then gradually falls back as the engine warms up. Since this is the time of greatest engine wear, I checked with my dealer and they said that they are all like that and there's nothing that can be done to tone down the starting rpm. Any comments? I can just about feel the metal on metal for the first 5 secs. | |

My 2008 Santa Fe is 3 weeks old, 1100 miles and Brakes failed twice. The first time i went to stop and the pedal went to the floor. The second time we were stopped and they let go and we shot forward. Luckily I was already weary and left enough room and they grabbed when I hit the pedal again. Dealership wants to send it home because they can not duplicate. I told them no way unless their willing to sign a letter being responsible for anything that could happen when their bound to fail again. I have contacted corporate and consumer affairs has opened a case. Not sure what else to do. Anyone have any luck in getting their Santa Fe repaired.

Hello, I'm the original owner of an '07 Santa Fe GLS (2.7 L). Shortly after purchasing, I noticed a humming / pulsating sound that seemed to be coming from the engine compartment. This occurs when traveling in the 50 to 60 MPH range. Lately, it seems to be getting louder. Has anyone encountered something similar with their Santa Fe? Ideas as to what may be causing it? Thanks in advance! Ryan
