I was able to drive it for several weeks but it happened again. I drive it a few times and it resets itself. I have not noticed any misfire or other issues...just that it doesn't get but about 19 mpg arount town and 22 mpg on the highway.
This vehicle only has 8000+ miles. I suppose that I will take the advice of the service center and drive it until failure. After all, as the service tech pointed out, it has a ten year warranty.
if your car has service engine light blinking or solid and the car has hesitation, jerking motion in drive or reverse, light goes on and off on its own with no intervention - the problem may be a TSB that just came in about a week ago - when I get the tsb # I will post on the tsb section - also - i'd like to see that the correction from the tsb works! problem may be o2 sensor bank 1 - i had code p2600
Just got a call about my appointment tomorrow with the dealer.....after contacting lemon law everything is moving fast now. The dealer is putting all responsibility in Hyundai, and is blaming them for there problems... they will not touch this one. Hyundai America is coming to get my santa fe and taking it out of dealerships hands. Dealer tells me that he would have done the same thing, refering to calling lemon law....but still sells the vehicles on their lot. I asked him if he is informing all the people buying this vehicle, he declined to talk any further..... What does this mean for those who buy tomorrow?
(could be bad gas too)
me: temp sensor failed
brake light switch failed
others: map light issues, temp sensor wrongly wired, starter realy failed, check engine light errors, mpg errors,front air bag weight sensor errors, driver door window regulators failing, error codes wrong, TPMS errors
It's no wonder that the CEO of hyundai became obsessed with rejecting all electrical components that didn't work to specs.according to one previous post.
Oh by the way. my cover broke on the back console also... is it covered by warranty?
And how do you read codes on your own?
read the codes with a scanner - hooks up to vehicle - there are cheap ones that just give codes and you have to go look up what it means - there are ones that give codes and explainations of what the code refers to - then there are nice ones that help you narrow the problem down to the specific problem - some can even do stuff like turn on your fuel pump just to let you know that it works so look for another problem.. coool stuff :shades:
So far my nov 06 build 2007 SE has been just fine
TIA
My patience is thin, and I hear it cracking.
Will post with updates.
Is there a cell tower visible at the place where the light goes on ?
Actually, the light is on all the time, so i don't think it's outside interference (I hope there's not that much!). I took the car to the dealer and after they really looked at it (I don't think they did anything before but check the pressure and flash the computer) determined that the right rear pressure sensor was bad. I asked the service mgr if these things took batteries, and he gave me some line that they self-generate power. From the picture in the Veracruz brochure (which I had time to peruse while waiting), it looks like one of those large watch-type batteries on the sensor. Regardless, they didn't have the part and would be two days. So another trip to have them break the bead on the tire and replace the sensor and pair the new sensor with the computer.
Will advise as we proceed...
When they received the letter from the Lemon Law Lawyer saying that they better fix it or we move forward legally, Hyundai was very generous in putting me in a brand new 2007 Santa Fe (with only 11 miles on it) and they also cut me a check equal to two months of car payment (since that's about how long I was driving their rental car).
I wish it had just stopped there. But...I am sad to say that two weeks after getting into my new Santa Fe - the TPMS light went off. Here I am again, with a second car and on the 4th trip to the dealership with the TPMS issue. It's not even coming on in the same areas that it came on in the other car - so I'm not drawing any similarities to the area (ie - electromagnetic interference). Hyundai continues to send up a "specialist" mechanic every time I call. According to Hyundai, it's all a very strange coincidence and I have been told on numerous occassions by their customer service specialist that I am indeed the only person in the country having this problem and while it's very coincidental, they're looking into it.
Any thoughts??? Any solutions? Anyone else having these problems???
Good Luck
Does anyone else have the same issue and is there any way to dim them even further?
I think the Sante Fe is a great car. I've had it for about 5 months and have almost 12,000 miles and no complaints.
