Over the weekend, I took our Santa Fe to NTB to have the tires rotated/balanced. I also had them check for cupping, but they didn't notice any. They did a free alignment check, as well. The items that were out of spec for me:
 
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?

2007 Santa Fe GLS - OEM Tire Issue by auxfire

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.

you should call Hyundai to complain about that dealership - the explanation about the car drifting toward the left or right to avoid accidents when you fall asleep at the wheel really sounds like an insult to all intelligent life forms. I haven't had those particular problems with the tires but mine lasted about 40k miles and had to be changed do to all the tires being worn on the inside. Possibly my fault because i'd never done and alignment in 2yrs but the car never felt like it needed one. When you replace tires - do not use the oem (original) tires - they are not good for the money they cost - instead research for a better tire for less money. you can also use a different tire size too!

My SFpulled bad to the left right from delivery. They aligned it once, solved the problem at high speed and upon acceleration, but at low speed the car still pulled left and the steering wheel was 'turning left' on it own with every road inperfection. They claimed it was normal (probably to help me avoid accidents when driving in England), wanted me to wait to change for my all season tires. After the change, they checked and adjusted the steering wheel straight, but then the car pulled to the right. Finally re-aligned both the steering wheel and the front wheels together and now it run straight. Sure took them a while...

I had a pull to the right on my 07 SF SE AWD also. I had it aligned and it still pulled to the right. When I had the tires rotated, the pulling stopped. Turns out one of the tires (bridgestone duelers) were bad. At 25K miles, I replaced all the tires with Kumho's. No problems since.

Fuel pump noise by rayden19
Jun 20, 2009 (7:55 pm)

I own an 08 Santa Fe SE (2500 miles) and noticed that when I turn the Key ON - Engine OFF....the fuel pump sounds like it is running continuous (gurgling sound). It will stay doing that until I turn the key or start it. In other cars I have owned, the fuel pump simply primes and then waits for the car to be started.
 
Any ideas why this is happening?

Apparently, I found out on Wednesday, that my tires (the Original ones were covered, because when I bought my car, they gave me the Factory issued tires and I spoke to the Tire people. Mine happened to be Bridgestones. If I had kept them, they would have replaced them for free, due to the cupping issue. I was told that the tires have a life of the tire guarantee. And therefore, would have been replaced, or a big discount on the tires.

My 2005 Santa Fe 3.5 liter is currently experiencing rough idle and poor acceleration only when cold, when the engine warms up it's fine! The only code was a P0302, cylinder 2 misfire. I have read it could be a dirty or faulty fuel injector...the only problem is I don't know which one cylinder # 2 is...

was the tune up done already (spark plugs)? and a fuel system cleaning (not just pouring in something in the gas tank) do those b4 thinking about changing the injector. i suppose you do your own maintenance? If not - just ask the mechanic for the info next time you're in for service about which cylinder is which...

08 Santa Fe can not be started after a long trip by shmshen

Last Saturday, I drove the 08 Santa Fe for around a hour and stop at a gas station, turned off the engine and filled the gas. Then I tried to start it again. With the key on, I can not start it. The Check Engine/Low Oil Pressure/Check Battery light is on. (I think it is normal since the engine can not be started). Everything else seem normal, the coolant temperature gauge is normal as well.
 
Then I wait for about 20 mins and tried again, it got started without problem this time. All lights (The Check Engine/Low Oil Pressure/Check Battery light) were off when the engine got started. I drove for another 1 hour and the same thing happened again.
 
Does anybody have similar problem? Thanks.
