2002 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS review from North America
"The Santa Fe 4WD does not work"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The 4WD does not work in the Hyundai Santa Fe. Hyundai stated that the traction control is getting in the way with the 4WD. They will not help me because they cannot fix it.
My front wheels could be on ice and my back wheels could be on dry pavement and I am stuck! The right front wheel spins and the other three wheels do nothing. Unreal.
I cross country ski and kayak and have to rely on friends to get me there. Can't get rid of it because I would loose a ton of money. I feel like a victim of Hyundai.
If you need a reliable 4wd vehicle, you should not even consider a Hyundai.
Good luck.
