2001 Hyundai Santa Fe GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Needa a better clutch. And I would keep it for ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My clutch failed at 35 000km.
I was on the beach. Told not covered.
Repair was $3500.Dealer was going to charge me $4500.
About 6 mths latter I was not happy with clutch. Took it to dealer. A test was done. Clutch failed.
So a whole new clutch was replaced under warranty. I was told a new updated and better clutch was installed.
The fist was a dulemass system. New system was a the old solid fly wheel.
12 mths latter on the beach again. Clutch failed again on hard sand and noramal dirt track work.
Thiss time dealer will not pay for repair.
I am of to court to get my money back.
