There is also no way of knowing whether the cabin is reaching the set temperature, either. I will try with a separate thermometer and see if it is accurate. |

It almost seems like the system is doing a check of outside and inside temperatures before blowing inside the car. I also notice that the front windshield vents will blow for a short while after starting up. This is very helpful in colder weather. This is the best climate control system I've ever owned. 2007 Santa Fe AWD Limited with Premium and Touring packages Dark Cherry Red with beige leather interior |

I think I'm being fed alot of b.s. at the moment. I bought a 2003 Sante Fe 4wd on 9/25/06. The milage was 42,500. The truck is still under warranty until 60k miles (has 55,200k). However, this is the first time I have gotten to use my A/C and it doesn't work! I was told by the service shop  the dealership, "it appears you had leaves and other natural debris stuck in between the A/C condensor. The leaves have now rotted and caused a hole in the A/C condensor. This is not covered under the warranty because this is due to leaves not manufacter defect. Repair comes to $850." My question is: I have only had this vehicle a short while, it stays in a carport, I don't go running off street with the truck. Are you telling me after the dealer did all the inspections on it prior to selling it to me, that leaves came in between my A/C, rotted within 8mths and it's my fault? I believe this is manufacter defect & not my fault. Any takers on this problem??

Replying to: mpuzach (Jun 21, 2007 8:54 am) If it's in Auto mode you get it's light. But turning the whole system off and then touching the fan >> button seems to start the ac. But neither Auto or AC buttons are lit. I think turning off the Auto, then making sure the AC button is off by cycling it seems to get me to just fresh air. Isn't just leaving the Auto on all the time running the compressor all the time? Even if it's 70 outside and the cabin is set for 75, the sensors are going to see that if the cabin goes to 77, the AC will be turned on to try to correct it? Same for heating....won't the compressor go into reverse-cycle mode? I'm not nitpicking. This is my first Auto climate control vehicle. There's a lot to figuring out what all the new toys are doing!! |

Replying to: pelican19 (Jun 21, 2007 7:07 pm) On separate notes, my map lights have been upgraded, finally. But, as someone who actually takes advantage of a lot of mp3 music on CDs, I'm not real satisfied with Hyundai's single disc base cd/mp3 player (pre-xm). Mp3 sound quality on this unit is drastically degraded. I've had it replaced by the dealership once because of the levels of distortion coming out of the unit... still the same problem. I've even tried different recording techniques offered by users of these forums... still the same problem. It appears to be a problem isolated to this specific type of unit as other hyundai mp3 players work fine. But the other Santa Fe's on the lot with this particular unit all had the same problem. The dealership has thrown up its hands and said that since the Hyundai Corporation has not yet identified a problem with this unit, there's nothing that can be done. Needless to say... I'm not pleased. 07 Santa Fe Limited
