problem #2

Santa Fe

  • Automatic transmission
  • 110,000 miles

It's really disappointing to be left on the side of the road. I'm tired of replacing the battery often. I've replaced alternator and battery, and am getting a little tired of spending money on the same thing. Hyundai needs to figure out what is going on.

Santa Fe Sport V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,000 miles

Car won't start on winter days despite having remote start. Service department manger claims starter must be frozen, then tells me to drop the car off so they could take a look at it. How did he think I was going to get it there? Push it?
