Love my Santa Fe

Love my Santa Fe. Never any mechanical issues as I keep with the required maintenance. My only complaint is the loud cabin noise while driving. You can hear the wind and the tires on the road. Would have liked Bluetooth.

Great vehicle

Bought my 2007 Santa Fe new from Phil Long Hyundai Chapel Hills. This vehicle has been a reliable work horse for 135000 miles and I believe it will continue for many more years. Only serious maintenance required has been replacement of the alternator.

Reliable and provides extra space needed

Design and space good. Had electronic issues that caused the engine to shut off and had to be towed numerous times 1st year after purchased new. They found software issue approx 1 year later, no more issues since then.

Love it

I love it! I've had this vehicle for 12 years and it owes me nothing. My wife has had her Sonata for 15 years and loves it. Both vehicles have been good reliable transportation and would consider a new Santa Fe when I need one.

Nice vehicle

PROS: Nice size vehicle, plenty of room, runs well. Lifetime oil change a good deal CONS: Door handles ice up in winter, stabilizer links not durable, beige carpet on the floor of a car is lunacy. Gas gauge fails easily, rear seat does not fold flat (new ones do), no easy access to timing belt provides no way to check wear causing needless repair bill ( rubber belt replaced with chain in newer models), windows getting smaller and smaller.

Santa fe issues

I would have rated this car five stars but the fuel sending unit failed after a little research found that this is a common problem for this year. Expensive to replace. Hyandai should have issued a recall for this. Other than regular maintenance this SUV has been awesome.

2007 Santa Fe

I have enjoyed owning my Santa Fe . The only problem I have had is the wrinkling and tearing of the leather on the driver's door. The Hyundai rep said was not a defect but I believe it is and should have used social media to find others with the same problem.

Concerned about the my recent issues and expenses.

The repairs to my car in one month were roughly $1,200.00. There was a window that that needed replacement parts over $600.00. Front end work approx. $1,100.00. My door locks haven't worked properly in over 8 months. I have been told it could be the actuators. All 5 at one time? That will be $1,166.24 and the air blower is going bad. My Sante Fe is a 2007 with approx. 62,000 miles. I am the only driver. I am beginning to worry about the things that are now breaking and it is not covered by warranty. I have always had all oil changes at the dealership. I take care of my vehicle. But this door issue is a real problem since you cannot get in the back to retrieve whatever you have put back there because it won't unlock. So I am very hesitant to rate it higher due to all of the issues starting to happen.

Going downhill fast

I loved my 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe until January of this year. I've now been in the shop 5 times, only once for routine service and twice for problems caused by that routine service, plus radiator hose replacement (waited two full days for replacement parts) and total fuel gauge malfunction. $3,000 later, I'm wondering why I didn't just buy domestic and get rid of it at 100,000 miles.

Santa Fe

We have had this car since 2007 and it has done a lot of traveling. We've had our problems with it, but what vehicle wouldn't you. Plenty of room for caring luggage or what ever. With seats folded down, it is great for hauling.

Oil dripping from my valve cover on top of the alternator

My 2007 Santa Fe has performed admirably except for one major flaw. There is a design issue where if oil drips or leaks from the valve cover, it falls on top of the alternator. I have the gasket on the valve cover replaced three times. I have been told that oil is again dripping on the alternator where the gasket needs to be replaced...for the fourth time. On one occasion, my alternator shorted out where my car was running on battery power. I work in Mexico and had my car towed to the bridge. My battery was new so I was able to start up the car and was able to drive over the bridge into the US where my car eventually died. I had planned for a tow truck to pick up the vehicle once I crossed over. My vehicle died in a spot where it was easy for the tow truck to have access. My vehicle was towed to a Hyundai Service center where it was diagnosed that the alternator was shorted out due to oil inside the alternator. The root cause was the oil leaking from the valve cover. The gasket and alternator were replaced. Unfortunately, the leaks are persisting because I check it periodically. I do not want to be stranded again. As I said, oil is present on the alternator again so the gasket will need to be replaced the fourth time...VERY FRUSTRATING.

Couldn't get it to show 3 and a half stars so just went with 3.

Overall mechanically sound, but was alittle over priced to begin with.

My Santa Fe

I have to replace the accelerator switch, Gearshift switch, gasoline monitor, switch, two front seat switches, and 3 batteries in 8 years. It has been costly.

2007 Santa Fe

I wont buy another Hyundai, only way to keep the 100,000mile warranty is to pay for services at certain mileages that are WAY over priced, Tranny flush, radiator flushes that I can do my self which I did, at 97,000 I had to replace most of the steering component's, I.E. struts, lower ball joints, tie rod ends, stabilizer rod ends and the rear shocks, 3 window regulators that the cables either broke or motors quit, lower control arms are junk, basically formed sheet metal, never seen anything made so cheap!!! The parts I bought and replaced are much better after market parts made from steel and not plastic!!! also had to replace the fuel pump at 55,000 miles,Never again !!! I just hope it makes another 3-4 years before it falls apart!!! Curious to see if Hyundai actually post this review, I don't see to many negative reviews posted which I find hard to believe all of them are positive.

Bought my 2007 in 2009. Had a couple recalls, that were handle. I paid for a warranty which covered one of the recalls( alternator shorting out because of an valve cover gasket leak. I paid with the insurance I purchased to protect me(100.00$ deductible). When I tried to get the full amount my insurance paid they only would pay the deductible back to me. That left me paying for there recall.(800.00$ plus) Not good Hyundai business. Which brings to mind, why would you put an electrical component where a gasket can leak oil on it. I paid almost 2000.00 for the warranty. Like everybody else my headlight clear covers are ruined, not good plastic!

Ok for a used car.

Vehicle runs well but it is old and thus lacks many features that are important to users in 2017, such as Bluetooth capabilities, iPod jack, navigation, etc. It is fine for a student or someone who is just looking for a vehicle to get them from point A to point B. Otherwise something a few years newer would be better.

Good Vehicle

The vehicle has been mostly reliable with a some electronic sensor issues that I have not seen before with other makes. It has adequate room to haul some items.
