I’m on my third Santa Fe turbo. I’ve had no problems with the vehicles and the dealers have treated me well. Always have the dealers maintain them. Plenty of power when needed and the vehicles offer plenty of utility when needed. Service personnel and salespeople seem well trained and professional. The recent recall could be a set back for some but Hyundai (in my experience) stands behind their vehicles. Just have great luck with the vehicles and excellent follow up.
I have a 2009 too. 154000 miles and I've had zero issues other than the one stated about the fuel level sensor. I've replaced brakes, tires and oil. That's it. Very impressed with my Santa Fe.
I have a 2008 Santa Fe and it has never given me any problem. I purchased a timing belt kit as soon as I bought the vehicle in 2010 with 50k miles on the odometer. I had the timing belt changed soon after and it still runs good in 2022 with 226k on the odometer.
Just bought a 2008 Santa Fe with only 43k miles. 1 owner. Elderly lady owned it. Should I look at changing timing belt? Could I expect this car to hold up well for a few more years?
@@karthikeyannataraj3786 I’m not an expert but a mechanic I respect told me as soon as I purchased the Sante Fe to purchase a timing belt kit. I did. Soon after (at about 70,000) the timing belt changed. I have a new vehicle now but I’m going to spend 3k fixing the old Santa Fe because the engine still runs strong. I may have the rear seats removed so I have a place to nap when I’m working overtime. I never had trouble with the old Santa Fe. Maintenance was cheap despite me rhetorically beating it like an ugly stepchild.
The 2007 is ours. Head gasket issues, three times over. Front control arm weather cracking, suspension creaking, and the gas tank float broke so we use trip kilometers to measure out fuel now. It's the one equipped with the 5 speed auto.
I owned a 2011 model with tons of issues. I had 200k miles in the end. Altinater, engine, ball bearings. Also, I had the same issue as 2010 recall but they said it wasn't an issue with the 2011. It was. I'm completely turned off from the Santa Fe. I bought something else.
Very weird to hear such things. I bought hyundai stanta fe 2007 in 2018. I had been using it 4 years without any problem and sold very quickly without any negotiation to the new owner. Used this car for offroad, some hard trails, family trips etc. It has an awesome capable trunk and a great mgp. This car left me only positive memories and feelings.

I wrecked my o7 Santa Fe doin 45 into a tree, ran it off into a ditch and hit a rock so hard it shoved the right tire into the fender well, and had someone pull out in front of me and I've literally drove it ever since. 😐😐 I hope someone sees this.
In my opinion for Top 5 problems for this gen Santa Fe owning one and working as a hyundai tech for 6 years 1. Valve cover leak 2. Axle boots cracking and leaking 3. Ball joints 4. Fuel level sensor 5. Transmission shifter assembly seizing up But it’s amazing vehicle have 270,000 and running like a champ
Glad to hear that.. just bought a 2010 Santa Fe for my wife, it's in great shape but has 181,000 miles... She just drives in town so I figured we'd take a chance on it...
Tranny fluid needs pre milage replacement (07-08 5sp). Id suggest 100k instead of 168k. Its amazing how full the magnet is with metal even after 20 000.
My gas ⛽ Guage hasn't worked for at least 4 years. The repair is $500. I set my trip odometer to zero every fillup & fill up at 250-270 miles. I can't see paying that much just for a convenience.
You can do it, but I would allow maybe 2 days out of service, might be a good time to replace the rear speaker at the same time, I would just replace the whole assembly it’s easier but cost more,
They should recall this as safety issue. I do the same set trip odometer. The check engine light goes on and off. Concern I have is that there could be another code generated that I would not know about. Called Hyundai Canada. They were of no help. This is a safety issue.
I have own two of these cars, my work wagon in Australia, and my home wagon here in New Zealand. I have never had issues with my vehicles and I love them.
had mine done 4 times, still leaks. but i still drive it and hasnt shorted out yet. Maybe will catch fire someday, but been like that for 11 years now.
Ok I bought my Hyundai Santa Fe pre-owned with 90,000 miles on it, biggest thing I noticed was when I first start it up or after it's been sitting for 15 minutes it has this loud raddling noise for about 5 to 8 seconds then it guits and I can drive all over the place and it runs fine,turn it off until start it up later,why it does this I figure it out,and I also have the fuel gage problem,and it up it sits on empty,once in great while it will work then it quits
I have 2002 with 95,000 miles on it, never had any issues but I only average 3000-4000 miles a year. I maintain it very well and I drive it like an old lady. These old Santa Fe's have a lot of room!
I still have a 2005 Santa Fe - it runs like a dream. I replaced the starter and the battery a couple times and brakes. But after 20 years of having this car it still drives beautiful
I had a 2003 2.7 V6 Santa Fe that I drove for 13 years with 365,000 miles on it. I probably would have driven it longer but after a front-end fender bender it started leaking coolant out the front of the engine block, so I figured it was time to retire it. It had the original engine and transmission with no problems. Other miscellaneous things went wrong like windows not rolling down, alternator failure and the fuel purge unit causing long startup after gas fill-up. Other than that...an amazing car!
My transmission and my fuel level sensor both went bad on my 2008 3.3L V6. The trans would get stuck in 5th gear on cold startups and would downshift on the highway over 60mph. On the fuel level sensor, the check engine light came on but the function was normal in the car. My mechanic had to take the back seats out to change them out. There are two of them. Amazingly my alternator is loaded with dirty, grimy oil. It looks like the valve cover is leaking oil. Things happened to start at 150,000 miles. I now have 179,000 miles on it. This video is amazingly accurate to my car. Thanks. Liked and subscribed.
My front bumper paint peels how do i fix that i contacted Hyundai and they said it was a PAINT ISSUE i took it to my dealer and they peeled it even more i was so mad 😡 so i repainted the bumper the Blue vehicle i have it’s A 2010
2012 Santa fe, clogged access drain line. They want it for 2 days. They say that they must completely take the dash apart to get to it. Cost estimate was 16 hours at $165 an hour. I'm just sick to hear that.
I just bought a 2011 Santa Fe after driving the wheels off my 1992 Camry. So far I love it. As you said I have engine light on. Machanic said it was ok. I believe him. Can’t get my phone to stay paired is my only problem. Can’t wait to go on long road trip. Drives like a Dream
I have a 2007 Santa Fe, 3.3L with almost 275,000 miles on it. Engine is great. The only issue I have had is the fuel sensor in the gas tank. I’m on my third one. There are two of these located under the rear seat. Easy to get at as you don’t need to drop the gas tank, just remove the rear seat.
I have a 2002 Hyundai Santa fe and it dead when I drove it from my house to my mom house it has a new battery what can be wrong we change the battery and it went to the end of the street and cut off please tell me what to do
So, here in Canada I went to buy the ATF fluid at the dealers, they gave me 5 pints of penzoil grey atf stuff lol. So i went and bought some atf at walmart and three years after the change...no issues whatsoever.
When i did my plugs on the V6 3.3 @ 150 000km, I bought a new EGR at Hyundai and to my surprise Hyundai had modified the part a bit (was the correct part number) Put it in and works great, sometimes i don't even realize the SUV is idling. (maybe a clean would of worked)
I just changed my alternator and got it checked out beforehand. And my battery symbol on my dashboard is still lit up but my car starts up at least. What could be draining my battery..?
2007, 2.7 V6 problems after 100,000 miles, purge valve , fuel sensors, crank shaft position sensor, MAF sensor, coils and now large leak somewhere in emissions system unable to find at this point. Was very reliable from 80,000 to 165,000. I’ve replaced radiator , coils , purge valve numerous times new headlight housings , new horns , fuel position sensors, timing belts , water pump. Engine, and drive train seem bullet proof but the emissions stuff and sensors are a pain...
I have a 2011 Santa Fe. My radio goes off while I am driving. It generally comes back on at some point, on it's own and repeats this. I googled this and found it seems to be a common problem with Santa Fe. Wondering if it might have a loose wire or ?
I moved down the back seats to add something huge in the trunk after I turned it back the air bag sensor lighted in the dashboard and I tried my best to stop it but no way .I don't know what should I do about that.
you mention oil leaking on the alternator what you don't say is that if you see that, you have to replace the valve cover gasket. cleaning the oil off the alternator isn't going to fix anything and even if it does it's very temporary
lol mine too. Its been leaking on the alternator for 13yrs, The alternator has no rust issues :) I bought a alternator testor and its become a habbit to test before i take it every ride.
I have a 2008 with a 2.7l engine and ran into a couple of issues at about 97,000 miles. 1) The ignition switch developed an issue where it would short and cause the starter to engage while in park or neutral - replaced the switch but ended up having to replace the starter because it burned it up. 2) The purge control valve wears out and sticks at abut 97k miles. This is part of the pollution controls and will trip the check engine light. Car is driveable but will not pass a state inspection if required. Valve is at the back of the engine on the back of the manifold.
I got 2007 santa fe and fuel Guage is broken, and when I drive it stalls like it is stopping , new battery but I always have to shake the battery cable first before it will start.
Fun fact: did you know my Santa-Fe actually wasn't able to boot up and we requested a neighbour of ours to help with the car and then suddenly it worked but stopped working once we got home. That's what I have to say!
I have a 2012 Santa Fe 3.5 v6 making weird thumping noises when accelerating…could it be possible strut or shock assembly? Also, this car seems to run hot as engine is real hot after short drives….any comments or help?
Bought this car for my mother in law and as soon as we bought it the alternator went out and the fuel gauge stopped working. Dealer fixed both. Might look into that crank sensor and EGR for preventative reasons. Thanks!
Edmundo Chaparro-Barriguete Edmundo Chaparro-Barriguete 0 seconds ago I have a santa fe 2003. I had a crankshaft position sensor fail twice in 2 different engines . It brakes and tangles in the timing belts, destroying the valves and pistons. BIGGEST PIECE OF SHIT CAR. i ALSO HAVE 2 HUNDAY SONATAS HYBRIDS. 2013 2014 respectively. Also they brake around 110K to 120K mi. The dealers and the hunday corporate also a terrible experience as far as customer service and honoring warranty when the cars brake down. They never have enough technicians to service our cars and then the ones they have do not know how to diagnose hybrids. Hundays are a real terrifying error to keep buying them. SO DISSAPOINTED. here in nashville tennessee.

I have a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe gls. It has a check engine light on and I'm getting an error code P0125 and P0128. I have replaced the thermostat (3 times), the thermostat housing, and the sensor. I have also added coolant to the radiator and the reservoir. The check engine light went away for a few weeks but it's back on this morning. with the same errors as above. What else could it be?
😂 a trans cooler line came off on my 07 lost all the fluid and she slipped. I put it back on filled it up with some gas station atf and kept on my way. Only complaint I have is the annoying hydraulic valves
My 2011 randomly stalls while driving down the highway or in town. Two dealers have given up on fixing it. It started around 60k miles. Can’t bring myself to buy a new one.
JUST HOPE YOU DONT HAVE TO REPLACE THE A/C COMPRRESSOR .. HERE IN VANCOUVER - ESTIMATED COST CAN $1200 + LABOUR - 2 HOURS @ $140 PERHOUR PLUS TAXES JM VANCOUVER B.C.
If you think these issues are big, you don't know BMW. Those get internal coolant and oil leaks from these goofy coolers they design. They don't refer to them as "Big Money Wasters" for nothing. ALL cars have their issues, common problems, and I can go through numerous makes, models, and at least one common issue per.

I’m in orlando and i don’t trust in some mechanics here, do you have an idea what can be ? I will appreciate your help
Hey I have a question regarding my 2011 Hyundai santa fe. Battery died, got new one but still wont crank. All lights come on and all just wont crank over. Did notice when putting new battery on the horn was blasting loudly. Any help would be appreciated.
RE: Item #4...I don't know about OTHER models, but my 2009, 3.3, 6cyl Santa Fe has had the alternator replaced free of charge by the dealer under a Canadian Government enforced TSB. (technical service bulletin). TWICE!! Reason? The rocker cover NEVER seems to seal properly, with or without a new gasket and oil leaks from the top of the engine, down over the side and into the alternator cooling slots. This can be a life and death problem (which is why the gov't enforces the fix) because if your alternator fails in a heavy traffic, high-speed environment, you can lose power steering, brakes and virtually all control of the vehicle. (Can you spell HEAD ON COLLISION?!?) Depending on the jurisdiction you live in, ask the dealer about a warranty replacement before doing anything at your own expense! Just sayin!
I have an 2007 with 90K on it and have had two of these issues. The fuel sensor thingy and the Crank Position sensor errors. I had the work done on the fuel sensor as it was causing my engine light to come on and I couldn't pass the emissions testing in Ohio with that light on.....(total Crock). The Crank Position sensor reading has been sporadic and I haven't had to replace that yet. Overall a very solid vehicle. I've done all the routine maintenance and the only other expenses have been 3 wheel bearings that failed likely due to Ohio road salt. It has a rather stiff ride and appears to be designed to have some weight in it to smooth it out. I have the larger V6 in this FWD. Would like to keep this going for a long time.
I actually don't know where you're getting the idea of servicing the transmission from, those models that's recommended not to open drain or replace the fluid by pulling the pan you're supposed to use a pressure pump to keep pressure built up inside the system so you don't get air bubbles and you flush it out from what I understand cuz it's a sealed unit you can pull the pan if you're really suspect you know it's going to go bad .
I've done mine 3 Times now, just drop and fill, I would never service under a pressurized system!!! Also if you are doing this the first time at 120 000 miles, dont or keep your old fluid just incase you need to put it back due to slippage.
My wife has wned an 08 Santa Fe Limited from new...we've experienced none of these. We've had coil packs go out on it. One of them went and also somehow the bolt was no longer threadable into the block, so i had to helicoil it to fix it. The weather stripping on the two rear doors has failed (We're in the Pacific North West so the climate is pretty tame) but evidently they like to shrink and i'm replacing those now. We had a moment where a light leak of the power steering happened - dealer wanted to replace the power steering pump for like $1500 but we topped up the power steering fluid once and we're good to go. The amplifier under the seat went out as well (we ended up thinking it was the head unit, swapped itout, then discovered it was the amp and wired around it). Ultimately the car has been pretty reliable, but we stopped driving it last year. Still own it as a third spare car. Oh, and the trunk struts are pretty shot and won't raise the trunk the whole way automatically.
We had a 2011 santa fe and it was overall pretty reliable. Only bigger issue was a bad head gasket that was causing overheating. Unfortunately we chrashed it and had to get a new car.
Okay so I’ve got a love hate with this fella here .. don’t be me like me and buy the first or second thing you test .. if your researching for a new vehicle and come across this comment . Don’t buy an 09 .. I’ve spent over 3000$ trying to fix this crankshaft position sensor error and oil leaking onto the alternator.. replaced the sensor myself and it still popped up. Took it too two different shops where I wasted the 3000$ and still nothing solved fuck .. give yourself a break and don’t buy a 2009 version I beg you... on top of it . Changed many headlights and converted them to led.. this Santa fe bastard took me 5 hours just to change high beams 😂.. ain’t even mad about the money wasted . This a Straight gong show . Bitch got me wanting to quit my job and be a bum.. NVM, I am actually sad about the money wasted 😞😞
2007 3.3 cooling fans come on with AC, never come on without AC, temp on gauge little less then middle. When shut off engine radiator stays hot for like 6-8 hours. can feel the heat. I would think at that heat the fans should turn on even when car is off but never does. Is there a sensor that can be replaced to get those fans running if so where would it be located.?
I have a 2011 limited with the V6.Bought new and now with about 65,00 on it. About 6 years or so ago I had the Crankshaft Position Sensor go out on me. I'd come to a stop sign or light and the vehicle would just shut off. Took a minute or so to get restarted but always got going. Shortly after that I did get a notice from Hyundai and brought it to the dealer and they changed it out N/C. Was glad for that. So far the only other somewhat problem is that I've had 3 or 4 batteries in it. Only seemed to last about 3 years. I'm 69yo and have owned many vehicles and never had a battery quit in that short of time. Now for a question, If I remember correctly, when I purchased the vehicle, the dealer mentioned the Transmission was a sealed unit and didn't need any maintenance. Last time I brought it to the dealer for my 60,000 service, they mentioned I should have it flushed out. Is that something I need if it's a sealed unit? curious about that. Thanks for the video information.

I can't see paying that much just for a convenience.
Lol thats what i am doing since mine started acting up a few weeks as go
Same here. been about 2yrs now 😅🤷🏽♂️
You can do it, but I would allow maybe 2 days out of service, might be a good time to replace the rear speaker at the same time, I would just replace the whole assembly it’s easier but cost more,
I do the same!
They should recall this as safety issue. I do the same set trip odometer. The check engine light goes on and off. Concern I have is that there could be another code generated that I would not know about. Called Hyundai Canada. They were of no help. This is a safety issue.
I have own two of these cars, my work wagon in Australia, and my home wagon here in New Zealand. I have never had issues with my vehicles and I love them.
Santa fe CM is the best
fuck new zealand!
oil leak above alternator is a recall. i had mind fixed by dealer for $0.
They also replaced my alternator
had mine done 4 times, still leaks. but i still drive it and hasnt shorted out yet. Maybe will catch fire someday, but been like that for 11 years now.
I waited till mine got pretty gunned up, 70000, has a factory new one on there and at no cost
Ok I bought my Hyundai Santa Fe pre-owned with 90,000 miles on it, biggest thing I noticed was when I first start it up or after it's been sitting for 15 minutes it has this loud raddling noise for about 5 to 8 seconds then it guits and I can drive all over the place and it runs fine,turn it off until start it up later,why it does this I figure it out,and I also have the fuel gage problem,and it up it sits on empty,once in great while it will work then it quits
I have 2002 with 95,000 miles on it, never had any issues but I only average 3000-4000 miles a year. I maintain it very well and I drive it like an old lady. These old Santa Fe's have a lot of room!
Fuel level sensor has driven me crazy omg
I still have a 2005 Santa Fe - it runs like a dream. I replaced the starter and the battery a couple times and brakes. But after 20 years of having this car it still drives beautiful
I had a 2003 2.7 V6 Santa Fe that I drove for 13 years with 365,000 miles on it. I probably would have driven it longer but after a front-end fender bender it started leaking coolant out the front of the engine block, so I figured it was time to retire it. It had the original engine and transmission with no problems. Other miscellaneous things went wrong like windows not rolling down, alternator failure and the fuel purge unit causing long startup after gas fill-up. Other than that...an amazing car!
I have 2009 3.3l with 235000km. engine head gasket and alternator replaced from recall except these, it is great car
My transmission and my fuel level sensor both went bad on my 2008 3.3L V6. The trans would get stuck in 5th gear on cold startups and would downshift on the highway over 60mph. On the fuel level sensor, the check engine light came on but the function was normal in the car. My mechanic had to take the back seats out to change them out. There are two of them. Amazingly my alternator is loaded with dirty, grimy oil. It looks like the valve cover is leaking oil. Things happened to start at 150,000 miles. I now have 179,000 miles on it. This video is amazingly accurate to my car. Thanks. Liked and subscribed.

My front bumper paint peels how do i fix that i contacted Hyundai and they said it was a PAINT ISSUE i took it to my dealer and they peeled it even more i was so mad 😡 so i repainted the bumper the Blue vehicle i have it’s A 2010
I have a 2010 santa fe with the 3.5 v6 and has 230 000km and I have none of these problems! Sealed transmission. So far so good :)
+DylanT. Thanks for the feedback!
2012 Santa fe, clogged access drain line. They want it for 2 days. They say that they must completely take the dash apart to get to it. Cost estimate was 16 hours at $165 an hour.
I'm just sick to hear that.
Thanks for this info. Going to take my 2011 in for a tune up this month. Headed out for some road trips and want to be in tip top shape.
Where are you going? Can I go?
How was the trip ? How did the car hold up ?
you didn't mention where is the egr valve is located
Under the plennum, not easy to get to.
I just bought a 2011 Santa Fe after driving the wheels off my 1992 Camry. So far I love it. As you said I have engine light on. Machanic said it was ok. I believe him. Can’t get my phone to stay paired is my only problem. Can’t wait to go on long road trip. Drives like a Dream
I used to have a problem with my phone staying paired, eventually it stays. I've had my 2011 santa fe since it was new.
I have santafe 2012 and it is beast 💪

I have a 2007 Santa Fe, 3.3L with almost 275,000 miles on it. Engine is great. The only issue I have had is the fuel sensor in the gas tank. I’m on my third one. There are two of these located under the rear seat. Easy to get at as you don’t need to drop the gas tank, just remove the rear seat.
I have a 2002 Hyundai Santa fe and it dead when I drove it from my house to my mom house it has a new battery what can be wrong we change the battery and it went to the end of the street and cut off please tell me what to do
So, here in Canada I went to buy the ATF fluid at the dealers, they gave me 5 pints of penzoil grey atf stuff lol. So i went and bought some atf at walmart and three years after the change...no issues whatsoever.
When i did my plugs on the V6 3.3 @ 150 000km, I bought a new EGR at Hyundai and to my surprise Hyundai had modified the part a bit (was the correct part number) Put it in and works great, sometimes i don't even realize the SUV is idling. (maybe a clean would of worked)
I have a 2008 3.3 v6 limited with 232000 miles and I'm now having all of these problems except for the alternator it has been a great vehicle though 😀
It is a bad cars?
Great car. Sorry you are so negative
My brothers alternator on his 07 Santa Fe left him stranded 70 miles from home. Changing that was not fun
they sell a little led module for the cig lighter, i use it religiously cause of this issue.
I just changed my alternator and got it checked out beforehand. And my battery symbol on my dashboard is still lit up but my car starts up at least. What could be draining my battery..?
I am glad I came across this video I am having almost every problem in this video for 2.7L

2007, 2.7 V6 problems after 100,000 miles, purge valve , fuel sensors, crank shaft position sensor, MAF sensor, coils and now large leak somewhere in emissions system unable to find at this point. Was very reliable from 80,000 to 165,000. I’ve replaced radiator , coils , purge valve numerous times new headlight housings , new horns , fuel position sensors, timing belts , water pump. Engine, and drive train seem bullet proof but the emissions stuff and sensors are a pain...
I have a 2011 Santa Fe. My radio goes off while I am driving. It generally comes back on at some point, on it's own and repeats this. I googled this and found it seems to be a common problem with Santa Fe. Wondering if it might have a loose wire or ?
I moved down the back seats to add something huge in the trunk after I turned it back the air bag sensor lighted in the dashboard and I tried my best to stop it but no way .I don't know what should I do about that.
Check the connectors under the seat maybe they disconnected
My mom has had so many problems with it and I seam to still like it shes had alot of the same problems you have
Your mom is very disappointed in your spelling and your lack of punctuation.
you mention oil leaking on the alternator what you don't say is that if you see that, you have to replace the valve cover gasket. cleaning the oil off the alternator isn't going to fix anything and even if it does it's very temporary
How about Valve Cover gaskets. They are faulty on the V6. My have been serviced 5 times, hence oil leak on the alternator.
lol mine too. Its been leaking on the alternator for 13yrs,
The alternator has no rust issues :) I bought a alternator testor and its become a habbit to test before i take it every ride.
I have a 2008 with a 2.7l engine and ran into a couple of issues at about 97,000 miles. 1) The ignition switch developed an issue where it would short and cause the starter to engage while in park or neutral - replaced the switch but ended up having to replace the starter because it burned it up. 2) The purge control valve wears out and sticks at abut 97k miles. This is part of the pollution controls and will trip the check engine light. Car is driveable but will not pass a state inspection if required. Valve is at the back of the engine on the back of the manifold.
I got 2007 santa fe and fuel Guage is broken, and when I drive it stalls like it is stopping , new battery but I always have to shake the battery cable first before it will start.
Fun fact: did you know my Santa-Fe actually wasn't able to boot up and we requested a neighbour of ours to help with the car and then suddenly it worked but stopped working once we got home. That's what I have to say!
I have a 2012 Santa Fe 3.5 v6 making weird thumping noises when accelerating…could it be possible strut or shock assembly? Also, this car seems to run hot as engine is real hot after short drives….any comments or help?
Bought this car for my mother in law and as soon as we bought it the alternator went out and the fuel gauge stopped working. Dealer fixed both. Might look into that crank sensor and EGR for preventative reasons. Thanks!

I have a santa fe 2003. I had a crankshaft position sensor fail twice in 2 different engines . It brakes and tangles in the timing belts, destroying the valves and pistons. BIGGEST PIECE OF SHIT CAR. i ALSO HAVE 2 HUNDAY SONATAS HYBRIDS. 2013 2014 respectively. Also they brake around 110K to 120K mi. The dealers and the hunday corporate also a terrible experience as far as customer service and honoring warranty when the cars brake down. They never have enough technicians to service our cars and then the ones they have do not know how to diagnose hybrids. Hundays are a real terrifying error to keep buying them. SO DISSAPOINTED. here in nashville tennessee.
In my opinion for Top 5 problems for this gen Santa Fe owning one and working as a hyundai tech for 6 years
1. Valve cover leak
2. Axle boots cracking and leaking
3. Ball joints
4. Fuel level sensor
5. Transmission shifter assembly seizing up
petrol or diesel?
No oil pressure sender? The seals on these seem to go on these things and make a huge oil mess.
Yo tengo una 2007 y buena me a salido le cambie la correa del tiempo. Tengo una pregunta lleva 3 semanas q no desemboca bien cómo q se alenta y no prende ninguna luz.
My 08, Valve cover leak (chronic) and fuel sending unit once. I also have stabilizer replacement more often than air filter.
I have a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe gls. It has a check engine light on and I'm getting an error code P0125 and P0128.
I have replaced the thermostat (3 times), the thermostat housing, and the sensor. I have also added coolant to the radiator and the reservoir.
The check engine light went away for a few weeks but it's back on this morning. with the same errors as above. What else could it be?
😂 a trans cooler line came off on my 07 lost all the fluid and she slipped. I put it back on filled it up with some gas station atf and kept on my way. Only complaint I have is the annoying hydraulic valves
My 2011 randomly stalls while driving down the highway or in town. Two dealers have given up on fixing it. It started around 60k miles. Can’t bring myself to buy a new one.
JUST HOPE YOU DONT HAVE TO REPLACE THE A/C COMPRRESSOR ..
HERE IN VANCOUVER - ESTIMATED COST CAN $1200 + LABOUR - 2 HOURS @ $140 PERHOUR PLUS TAXES

VANCOUVER B.C.
I'm the 3rd owner of a 2011 Santa Fe with just over 200,000 miles , except for normal maintenance no problems.
If you think these issues are big, you don't know BMW. Those get internal coolant and oil leaks from these goofy coolers they design. They don't refer to them as "Big Money Wasters" for nothing. ALL cars have their issues, common problems, and I can go through numerous makes, models, and at least one common issue per.
I have a santa fe 2008 and all 4 blinkers have stopped working
Also when I step on my brake my blinker indicators on my dash light up solid
Any idea where I should start looking
I have a 2008 santa fe 3.3l v6 with 323km on original motor. car has never let me down. my steering wheel, horn, or buttons don’t work anyone know the fix?
2009 Limted model here with the 3.3 V6, bought used in 2017. Had issues with speedometer 18 months ago that lasted several months, gauge would go haywire with readings all over the place. Then wouldn't read any speed, or very slow speed when going much faster. Tap the brakes and the speedometer would correct. Now having fuel level sensor issues. Still only 117k miles so i want to keep it for another 50k. May have AC evaporator issues too. AC isnt always great unless moving
I’ll say just stay away from Korean cars it’s a mixed bag some are problematic & some are not u don’t know which u will get
I have 2007 Santafe diesel a/t. Currently it has strong vibration which is a bit annoying when ur driving.
Give me a brake, 'just replace the transmission' cos of a few bad changes - its worth more than the car. That's pretty lazy advice. .
I have a 2009 Santa Fe and at start up is having issues to start, i have to try 3 or more times at startup. Apart of that if i drive my car runs with no problem but if i turn off the car and at least in minutes when i try to startup again the car statrs to shake like it is going to shut down and when i try to accelerate seems like it din’t respond to the acceleration and start to feel shaky and a heavy smell of gasoline. I’m in orlando and i don’t trust in some mechanics here, do you have an idea what can be ? I will appreciate your help
Hey I have a question regarding my 2011 Hyundai santa fe. Battery died, got new one but still wont crank. All lights come on and all just wont crank over. Did notice when putting new battery on the horn was blasting loudly. Any help would be appreciated.
RE: Item #4...I don't know about OTHER models, but my 2009, 3.3, 6cyl Santa Fe has had the alternator replaced free of charge by the dealer under a Canadian Government enforced TSB. (technical service bulletin). TWICE!!
Reason? The rocker cover NEVER seems to seal properly, with or without a new gasket and oil leaks from the top of the engine, down over the side and into the alternator cooling slots.
This can be a life and death problem (which is why the gov't enforces the fix) because if your alternator fails in a heavy traffic, high-speed environment, you can lose power steering, brakes and virtually all control of the vehicle. (Can you spell HEAD ON COLLISION?!?)
Depending on the jurisdiction you live in, ask the dealer about a warranty replacement before doing anything at your own expense! Just sayin!
Why many person purchased Santa Fe Hyundai's they didnt given problem you only the one making issues to breakdown hyundai
Santa Fe in the market
Would have liked for you to show the egr valve location, just for fyi.
the location of the EGR valve differs depending on the year and submodel. your owners manual has an illustration of where yours is
I have an 2007 with 90K on it and have had two of these issues. The fuel sensor thingy and the Crank Position sensor errors. I had the work done on the fuel sensor as it was causing my engine light to come on and I couldn't pass the emissions testing in Ohio with that light on.....(total Crock). The Crank Position sensor reading has been sporadic and I haven't had to replace that yet. Overall a very solid vehicle. I've done all the routine maintenance and the only other expenses have been 3 wheel bearings that failed likely due to Ohio road salt. It has a rather stiff ride and appears to be designed to have some weight in it to smooth it out. I have the larger V6 in this FWD. Would like to keep this going for a long time.
+Ghern Blanston Thanks for watching. Buy the part in this video on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
2nd Gen Santa Fe are from 2007-2012. 3rd Gen are from 2013-2018(SWB) and 2013-2020(LWB). 4th Gen are 2019 and up.
Why is my Hyundai Santa Fe 2010 model airbag light off while the engine is running
Is that truth why other countries like Santa fe was not gives trouble they like to drive hyunda Santa Fe the issue you mentioned was not occured
I actually don't know where you're getting the idea of servicing the transmission from, those models that's recommended not to open drain or replace the fluid by pulling the pan you're supposed to use a pressure pump to keep pressure built up inside the system so you don't get air bubbles and you flush it out from what I understand cuz it's a sealed unit you can pull the pan if you're really suspect you know it's going to go bad .
I've done mine 3 Times now, just drop and fill, I would never service under a pressurized system!!! Also if you are doing this the first time at 120 000 miles, dont or keep your old fluid just incase you need to put it back due to slippage.
EGR valve: might depend on the model year but most of them now use VVT instead
I'm scared reading all of these other problems that I have not had the displeasure of experiencing yet
I got a 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe it started jerking and so I think I got to replace all the sensors
My wife has wned an 08 Santa Fe Limited from new...we've experienced none of these. We've had coil packs go out on it. One of them went and also somehow the bolt was no longer threadable into the block, so i had to helicoil it to fix it. The weather stripping on the two rear doors has failed (We're in the Pacific North West so the climate is pretty tame) but evidently they like to shrink and i'm replacing those now. We had a moment where a light leak of the power steering happened - dealer wanted to replace the power steering pump for like $1500 but we topped up the power steering fluid once and we're good to go. The amplifier under the seat went out as well (we ended up thinking it was the head unit, swapped itout, then discovered it was the amp and wired around it). Ultimately the car has been pretty reliable, but we stopped driving it last year. Still own it as a third spare car. Oh, and the trunk struts are pretty shot and won't raise the trunk the whole way automatically.
We had a 2011 santa fe and it was overall pretty reliable. Only bigger issue was a bad head gasket that was causing overheating. Unfortunately we chrashed it and had to get a new car.
Yes, me too. I had a 2011.
Okay so I’ve got a love hate with this fella here .. don’t be me like me and buy the first or second thing you test .. if your researching for a new vehicle and come across this comment . Don’t buy an 09 .. I’ve spent over 3000$ trying to fix this crankshaft position sensor error and oil leaking onto the alternator.. replaced the sensor myself and it still popped up. Took it too two different shops where I wasted the 3000$ and still nothing solved fuck ..
give yourself a break and don’t buy a 2009 version I beg you... on top of it . Changed many headlights and converted them to led.. this Santa fe bastard took me 5 hours just to change high beams 😂.. ain’t even mad about the money wasted . This a Straight gong show . Bitch got me wanting to quit my job and be a bum.. NVM, I am actually sad about the money wasted 😞😞
Why does the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe jam when it accelerates
2007 3.3 cooling fans come on with AC, never come on without AC, temp on gauge little less then middle. When shut off engine radiator stays hot for like 6-8 hours. can feel the heat. I would think at that heat the fans should turn on even when car is off but never does. Is there a sensor that can be replaced to get those fans running if so where would it be located.?
I have a 2011 limited with the V6.Bought new and now with about 65,00 on it. About 6 years or so ago I had the Crankshaft Position Sensor go out on me. I'd come to a stop sign or light and the vehicle would just shut off. Took a minute or so to get restarted but always got going. Shortly after that I did get a notice from Hyundai and brought it to the dealer and they changed it out N/C. Was glad for that. So far the only other somewhat problem is that I've had 3 or 4 batteries in it. Only seemed to last about 3 years. I'm 69yo and have owned many vehicles and never had a battery quit in that short of time.
Now for a question, If I remember correctly, when I purchased the vehicle, the dealer mentioned the Transmission was a sealed unit and didn't need any maintenance. Last time I brought it to the dealer for my 60,000 service, they mentioned I should have it flushed out. Is that something I need if it's a sealed unit? curious about that.
Thanks for the video information.
I have a 2008 3.3 and my Esc Light and 4wd light is flashing and vehicle goin into limpmode... Ive replaced the parts for the code my scanner read , but its still doin same thing....can u help please
