Too many Unnecessary Safety Features

I’m continually getting warnings from the camera mounted above the steering wheel telling me it can’t see my face. This disables the cruise control which puts me in a dangerous position. Also, my second row powered captains chairs will collapse on a person . It needs a sensor to stop when there is resistance. I’ve spoken to Hyundai support and even filed a claim with the NHTSA on one of these issues. Hyundai has given me no support.

Like size and placement of screen on dash. Driver assist excellent.

Too little ability to review. I have good and negative but no room to actually review.

Mileage lacking

I love most everything about my car, except the actual mileage. It only gets good numbers on the long trips, very low mileage on around town driving. I received a recall notification, but when I called the dealership they had no idea what it wad for.

Overall, I LOVE my new 2025 Santa Fe.

My only 'complaint' is how easily the front sensors were damaged, which will require me to pay $800 after driving just over 4,000 miles. I'm also very frustrated that the $132 I paid to diagnose the problem, will not be applied to the $700+ estimate to replace the sensors. Not a great start to my NEW relationship with Hyundai.

Warning systems need improvement

I like the car...but there are a number of small things that make it irritating to drive. The facial recognition is in a terrible location, my hand blocks the camera which in turn gives lots of warnings. The Santa Fe also is constantly giving warnings to take a break. Why??? Not impressed with the MPG on the interstate. At start up it takes a very long time for the log in process.

Hyundai Motor America responded on 04/13/2026 11:20 AM

Hello Jeff, You can find more information about the FAW in chapter 7 of the owner manual. This describes which features use the camera and information on how to adjust settings.
Estimated mileage distances are determined by standardized tests under controlled circumstances. Real world range is also affected by driving style, weather and the use of the climate control. Every effort is made to provide customers with accurate information. ^cc

Knopp Review

The car is a 5 but we have an issue that has happened three times. The car appears to lock up after diving. It has to be jumped started then it's OK again. The dealer has replaced the battery but the problem has reoccurred. It appears to be "User" related with the car and/or Bluelink.

engine quality

we have ONLY had this Vehicle since December 19 2025, and TWICE now, it has FAILED to perform. the first time, the vehicle developed a major problem with a computer failure, whic only allowed the vehicle to run at a speed of 13 MPH, and was in the repair shop for two weeks, the second time, I could only get it to run at 29 MPH. I took it out to your DEALERSHIP in Fort Wayne, Indiana. on the way to the dealership. it must have corrected itself and started running Normal again. the dealership tested EVERYTHING the could Think of and found nothing wrong, so they called Hyundia engineering. even they had no idea what the problem could be, so our dealership asked if they could keep it a while to road test it to try to reprodce the problem. finally, after about a week and a half the reproduced the problem, but as of today, have not found the cause of the problem. we are still looking for the CAUSE of the problem. we really LOVE the room, and everything else the vehicle has. my wife is bound to move anywhere with her wheel chair and the Santa Fe is perfect for her chair. if it weren't for the roominess and capibilities, we would just get rid of the thing because of the engine problem. so far, we still love our Santa Fe, and are willing to allow the dealership do what ever needs to be done to make it dependable again, or even replace it if need be. Thank you

It’s ok…

Great design and comfortable. Way too many issues with phantom alarms, infotainment center having to reset way too often. Car completely draining battery while sitting for a couple hours and faulty door lock actuators. Will I buy another? Definitely not. If I could trade it in and not lose a ton of money? Yes I would.

Car cannot be protected from rodent damage

I have a year old car that continually needs rewiring because of squirrel damage. Despite sprays and light/sound machines whatever the wires are coated with is drawing rodents. The damage area is unpredictable and can effect the wiring in the main engine or the wheel area, or really anywhere in the car. And that makes it unsafe since the damage can't be stopped and effects the driving dependability. I have many cars parked in the same place at my home and none have this problem.

Nice vehicle but poor human interface

Our SF hybrid is a nice comfortable good mileage vehicle. Overall a very good vehicle except for confusing and sometimes limited human interface. These are probs that if fixed would make top notch vehicle except OE tires have terrible wear , maybe 15k miles max. Really substandard. Voice commands work terrible except for phone. Impossible to use for navigation. N Home Screen the map is so dark it can’t be seen. Not adjustable unless you go to full map. Constant take a break warnings - too sensitive. External sensors don’t work in heavy rain and snow. Getting alarms under tricky driving situations is distracting and dangerous. Selecting media is difficult while driving. Simple buttons would help. It is easy to leave hybrid car on as no obvious indicator that car is off exists, just a tone and lights stay on as convenience. Typical of many hybrids. If convenience proximity feature is used for tailgate it may open into garage door if you walk outside of garage near door. Use a kick method instead. Tailgate rear window opening would be nice as in many other suvs.
