2001 Hyundai Santa Fe LX review from North America
"My dream car!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1 1/2 weeks into ownership the CD player went wacko. I was in the middle of listening to a CD and it would just start and stop on its own. I changed to another CD thinking that one had some problems. Well halfway into the first song of the 2nd CD, the player just spat out the CD. The green "CD in" light stayed on and the CD motor kept running. This continued even after I turned the car off and took out the key.
I called the dealership and was able to bring it in the next day. They disconnected the CD part from the radio. They had to order a new CD play/radio, which took about a week and then they replaced it.
General comments?
I love my Santa Fe. I get so many comments while either I am at the grocery store, the bank, the library, and even in my own driveway while I'm washing it. I have the Pine Green color, which is a "rare bird", but that's what I had to have. It's AWESOME!!
Handles great!
Great value for what you get.
