#64 of 133 grease fitting by grizzlydude Oct 31, 2005 (1:24 pm)
In climbing around under my 2004 Santa Fe 4WD, I noticed a grease fitting on the universal joint at the connection to the driveshaft that goes to the rear of the car. This is neither mentioned in the maintenance schedule nor the shop manual (that I can find). Has anyone noticed this and verified if it needs to be lubricated periodically (and if so with what)?

Replying to: steve285 (Apr 21, 2003 9:34 am) Your dealer cannot claim a head gasket failure was caused by self change of oil. That is why they backed down, they knew they would lose.   The fact that they tried not to honor your warrenty is because they have poor customer service and are disruputable.   I would not buy from this dealer and would recommend to eveyone to avoid this dealer...how long do you think they will stay in business if this got out?   Buy the way, the only dealers I've heard of that have tried this are in Texas and New York,,,,where are you located?

Replying to: hung0820 (Apr 10, 2001 3:22 pm) The two wheel drive Santy can be towed with a standard tow truck....the All Wheel Drive (4x4) or AWD cannot be towwed with a standard tow truck, you must have them use a flat bed truck.   This would be the same for any PERMANENT AWD or 4x4 that cannot have the hubs manually released. Towing these vehicles will destroy the transmission/diff.
#69 of 133 Anyone bought a diagnostic computer? by johnboyy2g Nov 30, 2005 (11:04 am)
Anyone bought one of the diagnostic computers, or one that can also reprogram the chips?
#70 of 133 Performance increase using computer chips? by johnboyy2g Nov 30, 2005 (11:05 am)
Anyone tried any of the aftermarket add-on computers that modify the air mass sensors? Or any thing like that?

Replying to: rwolf (Sep 21, 2005 7:03 am) rwolf,   you are the very first person we have encountered that has had the same safety issue as we have had with a 2003 santa fe. to make a very long, bureaucratic story short, we tried numerous times at the dealer, with a hyundai factory rep at the dealer, with hyundai of america and with the maryland attorney general's office to rectify the issue to no avail: they could never replicate the problem with their diagnostics hooked up so in their mind there wasn't an issue. we lost our lemon law grievance (and all respect for hyundai since they denied our offer to keep the santa fe until the issue arose). we'd be interested to hear your story!   nomoresantafe Replies to this message: don33 (Dec 18, 2005 12:06 am)
#73 of 133 no timing belt replacement at 60,000 voids warranty? by nomoresantafe Dec 05, 2005 (10:45 pm)
all,   just wanted to validate what our dealer told us regarding the 60K service. call it once bitten, twice shy, but he claimed that if we opted not to do the 60K service and replace the timing bely, at 60,001, the warranty would be voided for any damage caused by a subsequently broken timing belt. True or not true?   nomoresantafe Replies to this message: michaelw2 (Dec 06, 2005 2:07 pm) dxnarcissus (Jul 16, 2006 12:36 am)
