2007 Hyundai Santa Fe review from North America

22,000km - Air bag light came on and service dept. Replaced the faulty sensor.

22,000km - Front grill replaced due to faulty plating.

24,000km - A/C not working due to core valve failing, service dept. did a core charge.

29,000km - Air bag light came on and service dept. replaced impact failing sensor.

29,000km - Rear brakes showing abnormal wear, replaced discs and pads.

39,000km - Front suspension links failing, replaced both link assemblies.

45,000km - Air bag light came on, replaced faulty sensor.

45,000km - Temperature controls not functioning properly, replaced entire unit in front dash.

45,000km - Clunking when putting vehicle into gear replaced gear shift. (This is a recall issue)

50,000km - Air bag light came on, replaced fuse box and wiring harness.

50,000km - A/C not working, replaced faulty lines in ceiling of vehicle. Upon examination the lines were leaking in two places.

52,000km - Transmission making a funny noise when shifting into lower gears, and front end grinding when turning to the right. These issues have not been addressed yet.

This vehicle is not reliable or safe. I worry that my air bags will not deploy in an accident and my family and I have been breathing in air conditioning chemicals for the last two summers due to the leaking A/C lines in the ceiling of the vehicle.

All that Hyundai Consumer relations will do about this vehicle is make note about my complaints. I paid a lot of money for this vehicle, and as far as I am concerned I didn't get what I paid for. I will never purchase a Hyundai vehicle again.
