Thanks.
Guess no one wants to be a First Responder.
They collapse real nice when you lower the seats but won't budge otherwise.
T he newer model boast a different engine and transmission. You can get a quicker/better response if you present your problem to one of the Experts.
Good Luck
There is a 2.7L V6, and a separate 4-cylinder (2.4L, I believe, for 2004). Do you know which it is? Hyundai has never put a 2.7L 4-cyl into production.
I'm wondering if anyone living in a cold, damp area has heard this same noise after having the maintenance done. Thanks in advance for any input.
BTW, I have an appointment with the dealer on Wednesday, but I don't have much hope in getting this resolved. But at least I'll have documentation to show possible problem.
I would be keep an eye on the suspension from past experience and also would be interested in dealer's response.
Good Luck
Had recall done 7 weeks ago and nothing is different than before.
Fe is nice and quiet now. Thanks for all the responses.
Took it to the dealer with initial thought that the AWD was on but nothing was found wrong with the AWD. Eventually had to do rear differential service as the manager thought the oil may be old causing some resistance on the back wheels. He said I should drive it for another 500km and call him if the problem is still there.
Has anybody experienced this or is there anybody with some idea of the problem here? It ts a 2008 Santa Fe with 80,000km and has been a good boy until this.
Not sure why it wasn't noticed right after install. The air quality was never a problem with original Filter.
Should I pull it and check it myself --- I dread going back to the dealer 4 weeks later.
(I would never have a dealer replace a cabin air filter - they tend to charge more than double the price you could get from an auto supply place)
This was the prime reason I got rid of my Dodge Dakota which was giving me 16MPG/18MPG city/highway respectively.
My total driven miles since the lease of my Santa Fe are 3800 +/- as of 12/12/11.
About a week ago, 12/05/11, the MPG had decreased to 19.0 MPG on trips and very little change in city driving.
I filled the tank and noted that the MPG reading went back up to 24.0 MPG for a few miles then dropped back to 19.0 MPG whether I was on the road at a constant 60 MPH or driving in the city at 30 MPH
.
Checking the actual miles driven since the last fill-up (on 12/12/11) with the gallons of gas consumed, i.e. Miles/Gallons used, the MPG calculated to 18.0 MPG. Why??
The odometer resets the MPG after fill up. I’m up to 19.8MPG having driven 3 miles from the gas station and will continue to monitor the MPG to see if it reaches the expected MPG (the reason I purchased a Hyundai)
I brought the car to the dealership (where leased on 09/12/11) to have the problem checked and they weren’t able to find any problem other than the tire pressure was down by 3 psi. Our temp had fallen to below freezing that day but even so, when the problem first occurred, the temp was in the 60’s.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem and if so, is there a solution?
Give it a shot....
I'd consider using something like BG Frigi-Fresh if I had mold in my HVAC but not on a regular basis.
The deodorant is not an option since most remind you of Restrooms.
Where does one one further direct it's complaints?
I have gone in and told them that I was driving on the 401 and went to make a lane change and accelerate when all of a sudden, I had nothing, no power behind me and making a change to the fast lane with someone barreling down on me at 120km/h, the engine then got supply of gas or kicked in after a few seconds of hesitation. The dealers response...Ya thats the way the transmission works. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
Other than that it has been apparently routine maintenance they are hosing me with. Tranny flush, fuel injection, power steering, brake fluid, coolant flush, cleaning service for the brakes that prolongs life (ya right see how that works for me). All of these things you would expect a car running in top shape. not so much for this Sante Fe.
Needless to say I am not very impressed. When I mentioned to the service manager that I researched online what the problems could be I have been having he responded with 99% of the time the blogs are wrong and dont know what they are talking about. Googling my engine problems I found various things from Fuel Pressure regulator to EGR valves and maybe a throttle position sensor. The Service Manager also told me that my Sante Fe doesnt have an EGR valve, I said ok fine I am not the mechanic but can you give me something other than duh well the computer didnt show anything so everything is fine!
I am not imagining these things they really do happen to my car.
Anyone able to help me out or tell me a better Hyundai dealer in the Ottawa area to go to?

The TSB would only go into effect if the computer has stored the trouble codes to confirm that the TPS is defective. It sounds like your dealer either didn't see those codes, or didn't bother to try to read them.
But if you don't have the Check Engine light, then it could be a TPS, a faulty wire harness, or even a transmission problem.
the worst thing that could be is the body control module under your driver side dash. if the work was done tru a dealer, you need to have them troubleshoot their work. there are problems with the clock spring for the 07-09 santa fe , its probably the reason why those items do not work.
After 221 thousand km's and change, I have no power, and it is burning a lot of oil and the exhaust is almost white in color. The engine itself runs quiet. There is no oil in the coolant either.
The nearest Hyundai dealership is over two hours away, so I had no choice but to take it to a local mechanic who said he needed to do a compression test, but wasn't sure if that would be the issue, that itself would be $300 on top of the 200 I paid just for him to look at it. I thanked him for his time and took the vehicle home, since it was sounding like it was going to be in the 1000's of dollars to repair.
Fast forward a few months later I took it to our local high school where they checked the timing chain (had been done about 80,000 km before) and that was fine, they also did the compression test, and he said that was in normal parameters as well. Since they didn't work on a lot of imports, there was nothing else they could find.
My other mechanic friend says that it could be the head gasket.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I looked on the internet for info and took the car to a couple mechanics but the trans mechs. said it was very strange that the car didn't make the noise when in gear.
Info from the internet pointed towards the starter and flywheel. When all said and done, it was the ignition switch that needed to be replaced. Had I not done a little research, I may have been taken for a whole transmission from someone. Thanks and Kudos to Edmunds.
I hope this helps someone else if they have the same symptoms.
took it to the dealer and got it fixed under warranty the same day.
Stuff like Air Filters, Mud Guards, Door Mirrors ??
Used to have a Dealer that specialized in Offers and contributed to issues when I used to frequent the Acura Forums.
I needed to buy a replacement sun visor, reasonable price, came when expected, no problems installing.
So far, so good
These were a Coolant Change along with Induction Service each @ around $120. Remember, my vehicle has only 25K. I passed on both and couldn't wait to get home to check my owners docs.
Couldn't find anything about Induction Service and the first Coolant change should be @ 60K
Has anyone else run into this and/or know what Induction Service is all about ?
