2011 Hyundai Santa Fe

This vehicle is LOUD. If you want a quiet ride, look elsewhere. That said, it is comfortable for long road trips, and for an SUV the gas mileage isn't as terrible as it could be. Be warned, though, that these cars have front-end suspension glitches. A vehicle well under 100,000 miles should not have to have ball joints, sway bars, and other front end suspension components replaced all in rapid succession -- especially since the vehicle is only ever driven on paved roads. You get what you pay for with Hyundai. You're certainly not paying for suspension durability, at least not with the Santa Fe.

Issues

Have extended warranty but had issues that were not covered under this warranty. Ex internal lighting system over dashboard. Had other problems not covered & strong discussions. Poor camera & clarity on screen. When extremely cold guidance does work until warmer temperature is reached

2011 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited

I like my Hyundai Santa Fe a lot but repair cost and replacement parts are VERY costly. Even brand new I noticed outside noise. If I were to purchase another Hyundai Santa Fe Limited I would purchase one with all wheel or four wheel drive for better stability.

IT SURE WOULD BE NICE

If the vehicle could not be so noisy. There has to be something that can be done about it. Otherwise, I'm happy with my vehicle. It is holding up pretty well for being a 2011. Need to bring in the vehicle for more work after the 4th of July. Seems I need rear brakes and new tire alignment. One more thing too but I can't recall. I just hope I can keep the bill UNDER $800. My wallet can't take much more.

The cars OK but the dealers charge ridiculous prices..

The car runs great but I have yet to have even the most routine repairs cost less than $500. Struts $1200. Cabin filter $80. Power steering flush and fan belt $500. $75 oil changes. This offsets the cars quality along with the NY AUTO GIANT monopoly controlling all the dealerships on Long Island. They take advantage of the captive audience.

Santa Fe with 130k Miles

Until now Santa Fe has performed well. Now at 130k need all new front suspension. Very costly, not sure it is worth it for 9 year old vehicle. Must consider options before making the investment in Santa Fe.

reliable but "trucky"

This SUV has been reliable but lacks some items that I would have liked. A power trunk would have been helpful as well as a back-up camera. The ride is "trucky" I realize that these things were not available on this vehicle at the time I purchased it. The passenger seat controls are manual- power would have been better; the lack of an up and down feature makes it annoying for a shorter person to see easily out of the front window. I sit on a pillow. However, in general this was a worthwhile purchase.

where is longevity quality????

vehicle has been great,,, but the washers quit, and doorlock quit, car has over 100,000 miles and runs great... but the door locks and windshield washers should be covered by warranty.... very disappointing.... falling apart like my OLDS DELTA 88.

Buy a car that ends in A like Toyota or Honda.

Let’s see- my car’s not even 8 years old, it has 154,000 miles. I’ve had it quit on me on the expressway TWICE. Arrow was unable to diagnose it the first time apparently. Hyundai apparently misled buyers about the mileage to which they offered us affected owners something like $200 off the price of a NEW one. Really? I drove 154,000 miles and lost countless miles per gallon. Then the electrical outlets in the back stopped working- that’s a $400 repair job. The first week I had the car the sunroof stopped working. Yes out was repaired, but c’mon folks build a better car. I do all highway driving and shocks and struts were needed at $1500 plus. Now it’s the timing cover-leaking oil. Never had that before either. Never had that happen on either of my Toyota’s or Honda’s. Simply put- Hyundais are only priced like good cars-don’t be deceived.

2011 Hyundai Santa Fe

My Santa Fe has a problem with faulty acceleration. When I stop or slow down and then accelerate, the vehicle often lurches forward. It has been this way from the time I bought it in Feb, 2011.The service techs could not determine the cause, so I gave up trying to get it fixed. I would be hesitant to buy another Santa Fe due to this issue.

2nd owner vehicle of a Lemon

I only drive the car to work maybe 7 times & the front right spring broke. I did not buy from a Hyundai dealer which was my first mistake as what can a Chevy dealer do for me except they did pay for that repair. But only for 1000 miles did they cover me. No sooner did I drive a few business trips then my car started banging & jerking violently w/stops & turns into parking spots. Very embarrassing as people stop & stare at the loud noise!! It is a coupler in the AWD train. It would have been covered IF I was original owner sadly so I’ve only had the car under 90 days & in the shop & not driving it!! Ridiculous. Hyundai won’t stand behind their product here. Who buys a car & immediately needs mandatory repairs in order to drive it like this?!!

Doubt that I would ever buy another one...plus the Thomas (Cumberland) dealership people...all of them from manager to service are stupid, rude, and could care less about their customers after the vehicle is off the lot!! Thanks!!

First huge repair at 16,000 miles

In my own experience, I wouldn't recommend a vehicle that makes you spend more than $400 repairing it after only 16,000 miles. I have to add that it feels extremely unstable in difficult driving conditions like snow or ice. Very easy to lose the control of the vehicle even being extremely careful. I never feel safe driving it under these conditions. Very scary and stressful.

Maintenance Nightmare

This vehicle has been a maintenance nightmare from the day we drove it off the lot. Thank heaven for the 10 year/ 100,00 mile warranty. Even after the warranty took care of major engine issues, we have had the front end nearly completely rebuilt, went through two alternators, and the electrical system has a mind of its own. Cant wait to dump this lemon.
