I have an '07 Limited AWD Santa Fe with 31,000 miles on it. Just last week I noticed a ticking/clicking noise in the glove box area. I've tried emptying out the dashboard tray, opening the glovebox, locking the glovebox, nothing works!! I just took it in for my 30k service a few weeks ago, so I don't think it's a major problem, but it is driving me crazy.  I did notice that it only starts in when I'm doing over 30 mph. If under 30 mph, the car's quiet as anything. Any suggestions for me?

Replying to: NY_Maverick (Jan 06, 2009 7:52 pm) I have an '08 SF Limited and just started noticing a slight creaking sound coming from the cargo area and really only notice it at low speed and driving over uneven pavement, like turning into my driveway from the street. I've had the car about four months and it just started about a month ago. I started hearing it right after loading it up for a family vacation with a lot of luggage and a trailer hitch bike rack. I'm not sure if the problem is connected to the load it carried while on vacation. I took it to my dealer yesterday and they immediately told me about this TSB, which I knew about myself from reading the posts on this forum. I didn't see them really road test the vehicle to replicate the problem and that led me to believe that they're getting a lot of these complaints and are assuming it's the same issue covered in the TSB. Was your creaking noise loud or soft and only really noticeable while turning onto uneven pavement? How is your SF now since the repair? Has the fit of the parts removed and replaced held up? Thanks for your help. |

Replying to: NY_Maverick (Jan 06, 2009 7:52 pm) I'm thinking of living with it instead of letting the dealer perform such an invasive fix/procedure, but don't want it to get worse or run out of a warranty option. Thanks for any help! |

I had an alignment done back in July attempting to fix excess tire/road noise--typically in the 40 to 50 MPH range. I'm still getting the 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! Ryan |

Just bought an '09 Ltd. Day after I bought it there's a strong rattle in the hatch area. Husband rode back there and feels it's the hatch itself. I popped the rear hatch ports off to see if there's a loose wire harness but find nothing. I can't duplicate this noise from the outside when parked for anything. Hatch seems secure. It happens over vibrational road issues like the black strip laid over cracks or minor bumps. It sounds like a door is ajar. Or a marble is hanging from a string inside the hatch bouncing around. I've been trying hard to triage this before service people crawl all over my new car, poke around, remove panels, scratch it up, dirty the carpet, etc. Taking suggestions. (spare is secure)
