Initially took my 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe (with barely over 16,000 miles) in and was told the right rear wheel hub assembly would have to be replaced and I could still drive my car while the part was on order. After hub assembly was replaced, then told there was another noise and that the rear differential and the computer system that controlled it would both have to be replaced and that the car was now NOT drivable. Quite surprised and mad that a vehicle less than 2 years old with barely over 16,000 miles has these major problems. Next time will buy a Toyota.

Could start to hear this 'whining', 'howling' in the back end of the vehicle at speeds of 20, 40, 65, 85 Km/h. Very annoying. Thought maybe the tires were causing this, or a rear wheel bearing. Turns out the rear differential needs to be replaced! 43,000 KM's - normal driving, no hitch installed on vehicle so has never towed anything. My wife uses it as a daily commuter around Calgary and has been in for regular service at the local Hyundai Dealer. Took it in and they are going to replace the rear diff (under warranty) as it's causing the noise.

Noise is consistent no matter if accelerating or decelerating. No vibration detected. Very disappointed that this would happen with so few Km's on vehicle. Makes me wonder 'what's next' to go....

Other than that, it's been a good vehicle for us!
