Santa Fe

  • miles
Letter regarding the electrical problems he has experienced with his 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The consumer stated whenever he parked near electrical towers, the locks on the door would malfunction, the cruise control light would not go out, the windows would not go up, the gear box would not display which gear the vehicle was in. The climate control never functioned according to the manual. The cruise control sometime exceeded the set speed over or down long inclines. The driver's seat which was electronic sat up too high. The roof rack cross bar was too far, which allowed air to pull off the loads. The tire jack was not sufficient for the vehicle

I have a Hyundai Santa Fe. I have had three major issues with the car and one small cosmetic issure. The major issues have been with the structure of the car, the wheel axel, the alignment, and the engine block. All of these items have either been loose, broken, or defective. Yes, they keep fixing the car, but it's a new car. If I wanted a car that needed to be repaired weekly I would have kept or purchased an used car. I fear for my safety and the safety of my family riding in this car. We have been lucky so far that I have been able to catch these defects before we've gotten into a major accident.
