The trim on the front seats very cheaply made

I am not happy with this Santa Fe, I loved my first one. The trim around the front seats have fallen off and cracked, my passenger seat is rarely sat in and the front trim has cracked and came off and the side is loose.

Smoke and Mirrors

The Hyundai looks good and has a lot of bells and whistles but under the surface there's another story. First of all the chrome on the car is silver coated plastic and started peeling from the rims to the door handles. The plastic cover on the head lights peeled, faded and became very dim and ugly. Then my car with less then 50 thousands miles on it mainly used for going 3 miles back and forth to work, with all the over priced maintenance done at the dealer I needed a new fifteen hundred dollar steering column. The leather seats are fading and cracking even after keeping up on good car care cleaning and leather restoration. These cars look good with all the bells and whistles but they are really a heap of expensive junk. It seems like every couple of months there is a new recall or a knew problem with this vehicle I will never buy another Hyundai.

Suspension and noise

The suspension is non exisistant, a minor pot hole rocks the vehicle. The noise level on some freeways is so loud that you can’t hear. The vehicle is reliable, for the most part the vehicle is reliable, up to now , I’ve had only minor problems that were fixed within a few hours.

Door seals, emergency brake and AC

This vehicle was purchased new by us. We have had to replace the door seals on the doors at least three times in the six years that we have owned the vehicle. I have owned many different new vehicles, some for over 15 years and never experienced this type of failure on any other vehicle. I believe that this part is inferior to any vehicle I've owned due to the frequency of occurrence on this vehicle. After the first two years, we started experiencing intermittent problems with the AC of the same nature of not blowing cold air and stopping entirely. After research on the internet, I have found similar instances of this AC problem with other owners. The emergency brake will not hold on a incline at a measured 12 degrees or more. Our driveway is a slight incline and pressing the pedal completely to the floor, the brake will not hold. We've had it in numerous times but are now told the brake has no further adjustment, When you put the vehicle in park, it is the transmission that is holding the vehicle in place. That design of parking brake, to me, is not properly designed and is inferior to the Elantra that we own that will hold on the same incline as well as any other vehicle which we've owned. This issue may be considered minor, but if we had to park on a real steep incline and the transmission parking pawl broke, the car could become mobile and roll down the hill. I have complained to the dealer we bought the car from, and the answer I was given was "use the transmission". When these type of complaints arise, there should be a way that the manufacturer is notified by the customer so that the issue is either addressed or ignored and the customer is notified. I like the vehicle and would give it a much better rating if these issues were addressed.

Eh...

It is an okay car. I received a 2013 as a gift from my grandparents about two years ago. It is a good car, but I don't think I would buy another one. I have run into engine issues, but Hyundai did fix the issue with a recall. Still. I would have liked if it wasn't a problem in the first place. Now I am having issues with the catalitic converted, and I am worried to see the next issue that will pop up. Please, if you are looking to buy this car, do your research.

Engine died

Would've been a higher rating if my engine hadn't seized up... That being said, a new engine was put in at no cost to me... Overall I really like the car, gas mileage and styling being my top pros, reliability was the biggest negative, but only because of that one issue

Nice looking vehicle but the ride is not smooth and gas mileage is not great!

I enjoy the look of the Santa Fe Sport, however there are some things that could definitely be improved on. The vehicle is not a a very smooth riding car. I seem to feel every bump in the road! The gas mileage is not that great either. Other than that, I like the vehicle.

Crap paint

Purchased this vehicle used a few years ago. The vehicle it self is decent, but the white metalic paint is horrible. Hyundai knew this when they sold the while new and used that the paint eventually would start to peel off on its own. And the owners are left "up shits creek, with out a paddle. Hyundai will not repaint your vehicle for what is their fault.

LOTS O POWER UNDER THE HOOD WITH THE TURBO.

VERY GOOD CLIMBING GRADES. NO PROBLEM AT ALL ! THE TURBO GIVES YOU ALL THE POWER YOU COULD NEED. INSIDE IS VERY COMFORTABLE. OUTSIDE VERY ATTRACTIVE STYLE. FANTASTIC A/C AND HEATER. WARMS UP QUICK AND A/C VERY COMFORTABLE. VERY SMOOTH RIDING ON THE FREEWAY. MILEAGE IS GOOD ON THE FREEWAY AND ON LONG TRIPS. HIGHEST MPG WAS 31 MILES PER GALLON ON LONG DRIVE. HOWEVER, AROUND TOWN ABOUT 20 MILES PER GALLON. IF YOU RACE AROUND TOWN AND LOTS OF STOP AND GO TRAFFIC EXPECT ABOUT 18 MILES PER GALLON. VEHICLE CORNERS WELL AND IS VERY QUIET. THE HYUNDAI WARRANTY IS THE BEST I COULD FIND. THE HYUNDAI DEALER WAS VERY NICE TO DO BUSINESS WITH. I HAD NO PROBLEMS. ..

Overall great car...maintenance minder functionality is stone-age compared to my Honda

Vehicle is very smooth and quiet on the highway...nice feature set overall. Navigation isn't as nice as my little portable Garmin GPS (the Hyundai wants to take some VERY strange routes and doesn't show the current speed on the map like my Garmin - (it even turns RED if you are speeding...very handy reminder). The main negative is the maintenance minder....very rudimentary - simply "reset" the reminder for any number of miles you want?? How about TELLING me when I need to change the oil (my Honda and Toyota both show remaining % of oil life based on my actual driving conditions, NOT just 5000 miles period). BLUELINK is a JOKE - sends me emails that everything is great even after I receive a recall notice for replacing the fuel line so the vehicle won't catch on fire!!?? Why not use BLUELINK to tell me about the recall?! Get an email telling me I should schedule to get my oil changed a week after I already did....all based on estimated mileage....not real data from the car like most other manufacturers. Again overall very happy thus far but plan to keeping up with required maintenance on your own.

Great family hauler

Got this vehicle when we knew we were expecting a baby. I had to trade in my genesis coupe for it, but I have no regrets. Not built for performance, but is sure footed in bad weather.

A quality vehicle

The new santa fe is a well appointed vehicle by any standard and should not take a back seat to any SUV. The controls are easy to get to and well laid out so there is very little driver distraction. I have the 2.0 turbo with the leather pkg and all wheel drive and find this competes with my neighbors more expensive SUV's. This they have told me. My only complaint is that the marketing department does not do any justice to this fine vehicle and all it's features in it's ads.
