problem #1

Santa Fe

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles
We have approx. 90,000 miles on our Santa Fe and have had A/C trouble off and on the past year. We have spent over $2000 while the dealership and a privately owned A/C shop replaced various parts. I am awaiting a response from Hyundai as to what they will do to resolve this situation. We have also had the strap on the back seat break, the paint is pealing off at the bottom of the vehicle, the lights/radio/air condition all dim when vehicle stops or hits a bump in the road.
