Hazardous
I purchased the 2023 Santa Fe about 5 weeks ago. It has been at the service shop for about a week because, in those 4 weeks of ownership, the vehicle failed to start 3 times. Of those three times, we missed preschool, a doctors appointment, and the electronic failure caused the doors to lock after I had loaded them in and the car failed to start. Thankfully I kept the driver’s side door open and was able to open the rear passenger door to get my child out. I had to climb over the back seat to get the jumper cables out of the floor in the back since the trunk wouldn’t open without functioning electronics. The dealership simply “can’t replicate” the issue. So I’ve been without a vehicle for a week, without any replacement offered. The issue has happened 3 times in a month, so I understand it hasn’t happened for them yet, but the fact is that the car is a hazard to myself and my children. It is unreliable at best, and no solution or compromise has been offered. We took a risk going with Hyundai for the first time, and we are seriously regretting it so far.
