07 Santa Fe CV Boot & ECU Replaced by grutza
Jul 30, 2009 (12:43 pm)
Reply
I go to an independent mechanic and he stated the left front CV boot was leaking grease. I scheduled an appointment for the following week.
 
Over the weekend I experienced what some others have, ESC light off, cruise won't work, brake lights won't function and can't shift gears without using the override button.
 
Both were replaced under warranty, the brake light issue they were familiar with and looked to see if my VIN was covered under recall or TSB. It wasn't but replaced the ECU, according to my paperwork, under warranty along with the CV boot.
 
On another note, they had a Equus in the showroom. Looks great.

Figured it out! Our Santa Fe finally did not start after we shut it off and figured out the fuel pump went out. Took it to Dealership where they replaced the pump. Here comes the shock.....it had been re-wired directly to the fuse box causing the pump to function all the time with the key on/engine off! Yes, you read right...it was "hot wired" by passing the original harness and relay switch.
 
We purchased it used in Las Vegas, NV.
 
Anyone have an idea why someone would do this?

If your tires are new, I would contact the tire maker, as they can replace your tires for free. I'm not sure an alignment will help unless you get new tires.

'07 S, Fe - replaced rear wiper blade by jcwsbltd

'07 Santa Fe Ltd - saw the rubber split and drooping down on my rear wiper today, so read the manual for replacement size and Whoa ! - it says simnply to refer to Dealer for rear wiper replacement.
 
I went to the dealer and they wanted $40 (yes- $40) to replace it. i said I wasn't paying that much for it and went to Pep-Boys. Got a 13" blade for $6-99 and they replaced it for free.
 
However, be warned - the OEM blade arm assembly is a plastic arm, which would not come off, so the Tech. had to pull out the old rubber blade, take out the new one from it's metal arm and push the new one in to the existing prongs on the original blade arm.
 
Anyone else had the same problem or an easier experience for replacement?

Roof Rack Cross Bars by srz948

Are the cross bars on the Santa Fe roof rack easily removed? If so an explanation of how is greatly appreciated. I might be taking a long trip and I understand the cross bars could reduce mileage by 4%. Thank You.

A follow-up: I had an alignment done back in July; I'm still getting the excess tire/road noise, but hopefully the condition will not get any worse.
 
I happened to get down on my hands and knees to inspect the tires last weekend, and noticed the inner 1/5 or so was severely worn (the fronts worse than the backs). Some squeaking occurs when making tight turns, due to this wear I'm sure.
 
I now have 31,000 miles (on the original Bridgestone Duelers) on the car. Have been rotating tires every year, but now will every 6 months. I plan on getting new tires sometime next spring.
 
Hopefully better tires will end up with a quieter ride with even tread wear!

Hyundai Road Service - Locked Out by ralph1970
Aug 29, 2009 (4:21 am)
Reply
Last week we were over 400 miles from home and 200 miles from the nearest Hyundai dealer, when both sets of keys got locked in our 2005 Santa Fe. Standing there in the rain, I called the Hyundai 800 number on the window. Within 45 minutes Hyundai had a wrecker there and the door opened for NO charge. Within a half hour Hyundai called me to be sure were OK. I could not have asked for better service.
