2013 Hyundai Santa Fe AWD

When the car runs good, it runs good. It handles good, does well in the snow and ice. We have had our car in the shop at least 20 times for the same problem starting 3 months after we bought the vehicle. we had it in the shop more than 3 times within the first year. If I had know then what I know now, I would have returned the car as a lemon. I love the car just tired of always having to take it to the shop. They changed a wiring harness this last time. Hopefully it fixes it. I don't know that I will ever buy another Hyundai again just from my personal experience with it. My parents have two Hyundai's, neither are a Santa Fe though. I was excited about getting it but when you are doing 70mph down the highway and the engine just loses power, it's pretty scary.

Fully loaded, love the comfort, but NOT the Brand.

My Santa Fe is fully loaded n a beautiful car,..But i traded an Acura TL for this due to winters, n was assured of Hyundai quality service n standing behind their cars... So i had the full package, window etching in case car was stolen, tire warranty service, dent, nicks, paint touch ups...... After the first year,,.the rims started peeling,..went in they took pictures n Hyundai would not replace or stand behind the quality service.. it was a NEW CAR!..then i had issue with the front tire getting replaced after i was told when i purchased warranty that curbing a tire would be included,..They gave me unfriendly attitude n told me no n that there was nothing they could do for me,..after talking to manager, he was kind enough to listen n hear it was due to a mental part in road. He told them to put it into the computer about this issue,..not that they liked it but it was done for me at that point,..Then i had issues with a small dent on door n a few nicks, was told that had to be done by the body work department n at my expense!.. Again had to go through the manager n told him this was a to be covered under the paint, n Dent package I paid so much for,..After looking at it, and deciding I was told they could pull the dent out but could not touch up the paint,..So all they could do was put a clear coat on it,..yes to this day its shows the paint off. So do not take the paint, dent package. Money will be wasted!. Then my coverage for electronics ran out at 60, 000,..well at 61,000 wouldnt u know it,, The back up camera went out,..No they wouldnt replace it. When i spoke to the service dept, they didnt even know what part it was or if they had it. N now last week it started with no power, n shifting very hard at rpm over 5. The warranty on the motor n power train is still in force but was told the part was not included in the warranty,..so 430.00 later n two times of it being looked at i just got it back. I truly enjoy the comfort of my car n the turbo makes it give the power u need but will never recommend a Hyundai nor will i ever purchase one again. As soon as possible i will be trading it.

Not good on mpg

Has a good look but mpg is very bad. Also has blind spot on left front dashboard. The panel is so big it makes hard to see anything especially when you make left turn.

GDI motor is garbage

Car stalls a lot if you don't have the heads cleaned out constantly. Have to always put an additive in gas so it won't hesitate.

Not completely Happy

My 2013 model had many little and major defects. Water leaking from roof rail, moisture got into the head light fixtures. Had to take for at least three recalls services. Still finding some more and my five year warranty about to expire soon.

Handling is sub-par on the road

The handling is sub-par. Found out that the reason for the front end alignment going out all of the time is due to the steering wheel driving selections (Sport, Comfort, Normal) I found out about this from another reputable automotive shop to have the alignment done for the 7th time. They told me that I was not the only one to come there to have the same thing done. The mechanic told me that it is an issue that Hyundai needs to take care of to get it corrected. As for the struts....they are nothing but second hand junk and don't deserve to be called struts.

Have had same issue twice in a year for defective hose. Hope I got a good one this time. Other than hose issue everything is awesome. Except this AC issue with hose. Santa Fe it self is a nice vehicle, just AC hose

Great vehicle that put me down

Its a beautiful vehicle. I love that design and it has been reliable until one of the recall items (which I had replaced bit I guess this still can happen) caused the engine to blow up while we were driving on the highway:( Life flashed a front of my eyes at that moment, we had 3 adults and my son 3yo in the car when that happened. Thanks God my husband was driving and was able safely drive off from far left lane to the grassy are on the right. There were large 18 wheelers on the road and about to drive over a bridge. That was by far scariest moment of my life. I couldn't stop thinking that and about what could of happened. Vehicle was at 80000 (+-) miles at the time and under power train warranty it covered repaired at the dealership and loaner vehicle for the time needed for the repairs. Repair took two month, my Hyundai is running perfectly now.

Nice car on the outside

My wife loved this Hyundai Santa Fe Limited as soon as she laid eyes on it. It looks nice on the outside and inside but the inner parts are cheap and fail quite often. It's like a pig with Lipstick. When you add the HUGH depreciation hit we took and we really wish we had gone another direction. The car was over $35,000 MSRP new and now 5 years later with only 58,477 miles on it (and it is in perfect condition) the blue-book private part is only $14,000 - $16,000 a whopping mere 40% of when new. Compare that to a Toyota or Honda.

Disappointed

I been having trouble with this vehicle since I purchased. I got the vehicle brand new in 2013 and the problems begin about a year later. It makes off and on clicking noises, the display screen show words in Chinese at times, I have had to change the battery so many times, and now the air control unit has stop working. I will NEVER purchase a Hyundai again!

Santa Fe-Sport.

I Love my Santa Fe Sport, but I am very disappointed that I was caught up in two Santa Fe vehicle recalls for my 2013. Wasn't counting on this when I bought this car. Doesn't speak well for Hyundai. I probably would not say good things about it if asked to give my opinion.

Riddled with recalls

I’ll never buy another Hyundai again because this one always seems to be called in for MAJOR recall work. I just got in for another recall and am anticipating when the next one will be. Maybe I got a ‘bad lot’ of cars but still it’s scary to have these major failures in my car.

Not near as good as my last santa fe.

This car is not near as good as I expected it to be. There are too many things substandard about this vehicle. Compared to my two other Hyundai this one is junk. At 14000 miles my front rotors where shot. The pads where good but the rotors went bad, this should not happen. I have had many cars and trucks in my life that I've worked on myself and replaced many pads, rotors and other brake parts and this never happened this way. Worst, I had to pay for the replacements. This was only the start of my dissatisfaction with this car. I'm not sure if I would ever consider buy another Hyundai.

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe

My AC has gone out twice; windshield wiper reservoir began leaking at about 40,000 miles and had to be replaced. Car has developed a problem with the starter and periodically will not start until turning the key several times repeatedly.
