problem #2

May 152023

Santa Fe GLS 2.7L 4 cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 279,000 miles

Loud rattling, loss of power steering and then a big clunk that really scared me. Then vehicle started smoking. Lucky I was just pulling into my driveway when it happened but definitely thought I blew the engine of something. Going to price out a new part and fix it myself. I haven't got a budget to pay a mechanic.....

Santa Fe 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 76,000 miles

Alternator and battery lights come on and will not go out until part is replaced. When the pulley gets real bad the car engine will quit and it will not start again.
