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

Replying to: ryanor (Jun 01, 2009 9:30 am) Would this be something covered under the Hyundai warranty? Or would it be considered more of a maintenance item? |

Replying to: ryanor (Jun 02, 2009 4:45 am) 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.

Replying to: ryanor (Jun 03, 2009 9:55 am) Front Left: Toe -0.15 (Specified range is -0.08 to 0.08) Front Right: Toe -0.17 Total Toe: -0.32 (Specified range is -0.16 to 0.16) Rear Left: Camber -1.9 (Spec range is -1.5 to -0.5) Rear Right: Camber -1.7 Are any of these considered seriously out of alignment? Could it be the reason for my humming noise? Also, since my Santa Fe is still under warranty (~27,000 miles), should I take it to the dealer and have them check it out? There wouldn't be any cost to do so, would there? |

I bought my 2007 Santa Fe in the latter part of 2007. It came equipped with what I thought were good tires. Just this week I've had to replace all four tires because of wear issues called cupping, which when I asked about it at the Dealer was told that they've not seen it in any other Santa Fe, it felt like a brush off. Come to find out, other people are experiencing the same thing. I'm definatly calling Hyundai tomorrow when they open. Back to my story, I had exactly 22,837 miles on my Hyudai on those tires, which should have lasted longer, but they didn't. The basic problem I was having was this horrible grinding sound when I drove the car. I replaced the two front tires first as they needed to be changed. But, upon returning home found that the back tires that they put on the front, had that awful noise. I was told at the Dealership that it would cost $175 for each tire that they replace..needed two. I declined but said I'd be back for an alignment. Got the new tires, no problems, didn't even pull to the right. Got an alignment, pulled to the right, not bad but pulled that direction anyway. Called the dealership, Gal that works there told me that Hyundai has that in all of there vehicles, in case the "Driver" falls asleep at the wheel, you don't cross into oncoming traffic. Has anyone else heard that? It just sounds like a bunch of melarky (bull). Anyway, I just need to say this is my 3rd Hyundai (my second Santa Fe) and that I didn't experience anything like that in my 2001, gave it to my parents and they drive it.
