#2 of 7 Re: Has Anyone Had a Problem Starting Their '07 SF? [gypsystar] by gizzer777 Oct 21, 2007 (10:08 am)
Replying to: gypsystar (Oct 20, 2007 6:38 pm) Wish I could help but you are better off waiting for tomorrow ...the dealer will have to have at that one. There was a post somewhere here about a similar problem which turned out to be a break switch...again the dealer will do it...   There is a little button like affair at the top of the shift console. You are supposed to be able to pry the cap off and press the button to release the tranny...never tried but I read it somewhere here good luck and please let us know the outcome

Replying to: gypsystar (Oct 20, 2007 6:38 pm) The symptoms that you described are exactly what happens in a modern car when the battery is dead. Either your battery drained, or there was enough corrosion on the battery connectors that insufficient current was being delivered. If your battery connections are clean now, and the battery and charging system test out fine, then don't worry about it. If it happens again, though, you need to consider the possibility that an electrical short somewhere in the system is allowing the battery to drain while your car is parked.
#5 of 7 2002 santa fe question by stocker1 Dec 18, 2008 (12:19 pm)
I have a 4 cyl 2002 santa fe. While driving it just stalled, and wouldn't restart. It won't turn over. Seems like the battery is fine, all of the lights work. Any help would be appreciated Replies to this message: prezaxl (Feb 25, 2009 9:05 pm)

Replying to: stocker1 (Dec 18, 2008 12:19 pm) You probably should or started your own thread. I just got done with a similar symptom (stalled while driving) and a Mass air flow sensor was replaced to make the car start again. But with only a few weeks of goodness the no start problem is showing up again (symptom of unknown problem).
#7 of 7 2002 Santa Fe hesitates at Start-up by ruspy1 Jul 15, 2009 (6:15 am)
I had the Timing belt and the Alternator replaced. The Timing Belt was due to be replaced at 60k. I noticed that there was a whining noise, thinking it maybe the Timing belt, which I had it changed at 63k; however, the Hyundai Service informed me that the whining noise was the Alternator, it was on its way out, and the bearings caused the noise. My Santa Fe was occasionally hesitating during start-up, I'm thinking it was the Timing belt or Alternator, however, I had both of them replaced and car still hesitates during start-up sometime when sits for a while. Called Hyundai service and explained that the Santa Fe still hesitates during start-up after replacing the Timing Belt and the Alternator, could it be the Spark plugs that needs a Tune-up, he said that the Santa Fe doesn't need a Tune-up until reaches 80k, where I'm at 63K miles. He thinks that the Battery needs to be recharged because the Alternator was defective and replaced. I'm still not convinced, because the car hesitates during start-up and runs rough for little while before it warms up. I still think it may need a Tune-up. Has anyone had a similar problem?
