I haven't had any warranty (or other) issues onmy 07 Santa FE SE AWD thus far (30k miles). But it is nice to know Hyundai is doing a good job when warranty repairs are required.

2008 Santa Fe Brake Failure by susankj

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.

Humming / Pulsating Sound - '07 Santa Fe by ryanor

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

does it only happen with a/c on?

I'm not sure; I'll have to experiment and report back. But if so, what would it indicate--an A/C problem of some sort?

I've read on another board that the Santa Fe is notorious for the front end alignment going out (causing cupping of the tires which will cause a droning noise).
 
Would this be something covered under the Hyundai warranty? Or would it be considered more of a maintenance item?

The alignment went bad on my '07 which I didn't know was a common problem until last fall. Dealer said the tires aren't covered under warranty due to bad alignment.
 
2 tires went bad because of this, 1 was cupping with 60% left, and the other was ok with 60% left. I just replaced the 2 bad ones and had them realigned the tires. The humming is still there, but not so bad. Next tire rotation will be fun. The tire that has cupping will have to be rotated to the front. Last time I did that, the car started shuddering/vibrating at speeds 40-50mph.

As a follow up, having the A/C on or off does not make a difference. Braking has no effect on the noise either. There is no vibration involved; just the noise. I've read the Bridgestone Duelers that came on the car are not the greatest.
