Santa Fe

  • 100,000 miles
The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that the starter failed periodically. The starter was replaced, but the failure recurred. The contact researched the failure and found that there was too much paint on the negative connector to the engine from both the passenger and driver sides. An independent mechanic resolved the failure by sanding down the area by the connector to metal on metal. The failure was remedied. The dealer and manufacturer had not been contacted. The failure mileage was 100,000.
