2001 Hyundai Santa Fe LX review from North America
"I love this truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had the engine stalling issue: The 2.7-liter V6 engine may stall and not restart when idling for extended times with the air conditioner running. This requires reprogramming of the engine control module and/or replacement of the
oxygen sensors. In our case, the oxygen sensor replacement did not fix the problem. The engine control module had to be reprogrammed.
Back window wiper not laying on the window and therefore was not clearing it. Dealer adjusted and now it's fine.
General comments?
Great value, not too large not too small.
Great ride and handling.
Am thinking about buying another.
