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

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.

Santa Fe Reliability? by bmrich

I am thinking of getting a 2007 Santa Fe for my wife. What are some opinions on the reliability of the car? Are their any maintenance quarks or known problems I should look out for?

Two things come to mind: some of the sunroofs leaked (not mine), so if you're looking at one that has a sunroof, run it through a car wash, or look for leakage. The passenger's air bag light has issues with lighter-weight passengers.

I bought a new 2007 Santa Fe and it was okay for about 12,000 miles. Then it developed piston slap. The dealership and the Hyundai district representative will not fix the problem. The warranty is useless. At first, I could only hear it at start up on a cold day, now it is all the time. So, I would not ever buy another Hyundai product.

Irritating noise by rob87

Anyone notice a frequent popping/creaking sound from the center console? Especially evident when cornering. Mine is being caused by the "plastic wood" trim around the shifter. It's really annoying me. Haven't taken it to the dealer yet - I'm expecting the usual "it's normal" response.

It's never happened to me with my 2007, but common enough that others have
posted about the same problem.
