2001 Hyundai Santa Fe review from UK and Ireland
"I like the car, but does not seem to do the job it is supposed to"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My clutch went at 15000 miles.
My clutch went at 21500 miles.
Every so often I get a horrible grinding noise coming from my brakes, and there is a slight loss of braking ability.
General comments?
I bought this car to tow my horse to local shows I was told by the sales assistant that it coul tow 3000IBS. Which made it a suitable car for my need, so far I have only moved my horse trailer in its unladen state and every time I come to somewhere where my car has to use a little bit more power than usual I get a terrible burning smell and failure from my clutch. I will now try to get the vehicle investigated from the dealers. The work has all been carried out under warranty so fortunately it hasn't cost me anything. The brakes have been checked by the garage who say that there is nothing wrong, but it can be a little worrying.
