problem #2

Nov 302017

Santa Fe GLS V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,000 miles

Rear end making noise, fluid leaking out of rear case/pumpkin. Took to Midas/Lube, they confirmed bad leak from damaged cover. Called Garff Salt Lake tow truck, they came and got it and replace rear end gears/etc under warranty. Now it won't start and it's not covered, see other complaints. LEMON.

now the front diff buggered

First it was the REAR DIFFERENTIAL, now the FRONT DIFFERENTIAL! First time car had to be towed from a 2hr tow trip and a 4,500 job to fix THANK F*** for warranty!

Now it's the FRONT DIFF! And a $6500 job! Again warranty! Thank F! I'm told by Hyundai front diff is common in these, when made no luberication was added and it's a common occourance! WFT HYUNDAI built your cars right! Rear diff supposedly uncommon to go!

Next day we had turbo hose blow out as they didn't replace it properly after working on it HYUNDAI YOU SUCK!! I was always hesitant buying a Hyundai, bu heard they had upped their game! Apparently Not!
