ESC is only useful when you are already moving and have to suddenly swerve to avoid an obstacle, etc (it brakes individual wheels to keep you from spinning out of control).
 
AWD helps you get moving when starting from a stop on a slippery surface by sending power to the rear wheels in addition to the front wheels.
 
Traction control only keeps you from spinning your wheels when accelerating on a slippery surface by cutting engine power to the wheels when a wheel starts to slip.

Buy Buy and Buy you will never regret it. I had a 2003 / 2006 and 2007 Santa Fe never any major problems. Forget Rav and Chevy I swear you won't regret it

I purchased a 2007 Santa Fe Limited new in November and have only changed the wiper blades and had the emergency brake adjusted. Great car, super ride and what a bargain. Just ensure that you keep an eye on the rear brakes as they can be of some concern with corrosion.
Good luck with your purchase

#2986 of 2993 ABOUT THE MARKUP ::: " ADDENDUM" IS A WAY TO CHEAT THE MSRP AND CONSUMER by nexusone

May 30, 2011 (4:09 pm)

STAY AWAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY FROM ALL NAPLETON AUTO GROUP DEALERS, ESPECIALLY HYUNDAI...
 
HERE IS WHAT THEY DO:::::::::;;
 
CAR COMES WITH AN 19500 MSRP, FAIR LIKE THE LAW REQUIRES
 
THEY ADD A LEGAL LOOKING SHEET NEXT TO IT CALLED AN ADDENDUM AND THEY ADD SENSELESS WORDS LIKE EXTRA SECURITY PACKAGE (LIE, IT IS SAME FACTORY STUFF), OR OTHER WORDS LIKE APPEARANCE PACKAGE (IT ALREADY IS AN SE MODEL BUT THEY TELL YOU THE FOG LIGHTS AND OTHER STUFF IS DEALER INSTALLED, ANOTHER LIE) ANYWAY, THEY ARE ABOUT 2 GRAND MORE AT THIS TIME WITH THE LEGAL LOOKING SHEET (ADDENDUM)...
 
THEY ARE THE WORST PLACE TO GO ANYWAY, THEY JUST WANT TO STICK YOU WITH ANYTHING THEY HAVE AND MAKE YOU SIGN SAME DAY ....
STAY AWAY THERE IS SO MUCH MORE I DONT HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN....
 
THIS IS A CROOK HEAVEN AND THEY DO IT WITH A SMILE, DONT BE FOOLED...
 
RUN RUN RUN DONT WALK.

Please write up a Dealer Review too.
 
I wouldn't use ALL CAPS though; looks like you are yelling and it's hard to read so most people skip posts like that.

I am having this same problem with my "new to me" 2007 Santa Fe. Did you ever figure out how to get more heat to come out on the floor ?
 
Thanks

#2989 of 2993 Third row question by niravshah

Feb 26, 2013 (2:30 pm)

Hi All,
 
This may be stupid question. But I own 2007 Santa Fe SE model without third row. When I bought I didn't need the third row. But now I am really in need for third row. Is there any way to install third row in my car. I am not in situation to buy new one right now.
 
I will really appreciate if some body can provide me info on this.
 
Thanks.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong bu the Santa Fe never had a third row until this year.
 
But it may be possible to find a third party company, say for example:
http://www.littlepassengerseats.com/hyundai.html
 
(One has to wonder though how safe something like this is without being attached to the body of the vehicle.)

The third row seat in the 2nd generation Santa Fe was available in the 2007-08-09 model years. It wasn't very popular (or common), and was discontinued for 2010 in North America.
