I have a 2015 Santa Fe. One hour after I took delivery, a HID headlight started flickering. Astonishingly, Hyundai denied the claim initially as its a ‘wear and tear’ part. An hour old… Eventually, they caved and replaced it.
3 years later, the Infotainment unit started looping on startup. Despite their vaunted 5-year warranty, and the 7-year extended Hyundai branded warranty I bought, its not covered. $4000 OEM, and Hyundai could not have cared less if they tried.
Eventually I had to locate one, take the risks, have it shipped, learn about lock-codes and how to install it, and fix it myself.
Do not trust Hyundai – not the car, not the company, not the warranty. Not even the dealership. Avoid at all costs. And the costs be sure!
