Steve, Host
thank you,
THE TECH DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND NEEDLESS TO SAY I LOST ALL MY SETTINGS. I WAS ABLE TO RESET EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE OVER HEAD DIGITAL CALENDER BY THE SUN ROOF.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO RESET THE CALENDER? THANKS !

I will give it a try.
I am a new Santa Fe owner as of this past week (2006 GLS 3.5L).
I must have missed it on the test drive, but whenever I brake between 35-40 mph, the steering wheel begins to vibrate/shake rapidly. It stops once below the speed falls below 35 mph.
I only have about 250 miles on the vehicle, so I'm not sure if it's a brake pad "break-in" temporary issue or there is something amiss with the brake rotors. Is this steering wheel vibration normal for this vehicle?
Has anybody had any similar experiences?
I have a problem that I have not seen on the Forum. While traveling at a variety of speeds (15 to 45 miles per hour) My Santa Fe (which I have loved to this point) has been suddenly (seemingly) shifting into either first gear or reverse. This has happen 3 times in the last month.
I can't really say this is what is happening, but that is what it feels like. The car nose dives, starts to stall (but doesn't) and the check engine light comes on. I have to pull over, turn the car off, wait a few minutes, start and it seems fine. My dealer's service people can't repeat the problem and the check engine lights are pointing to ridicules things.
I need help with this (as does my dealer). It is dangerous as it really puts the car in harms way by stopping so suddenly.
Thanks for your time. :confuse: :sick:
Thanks!

thanks :lemon:
The parts are supposed to be in, so we're bringing the SF back to the shop tomorrow. In Florida, you can request that the old parts be returned to you. I'll be making that request. I've had fans go out before, and they have never burned out the switch. Seems to me, if the fan wouldn't turn at all, a fuse should have blown.
Has anyone else seen this before?

Again, after having my car in the shop for 3 days, and the dealership could find nothing wrong, I drove the '03 Santa Fe home with no brake problems thus far. But I really can't count on it.
I'm going to the "maintenance" site now... And calling Hyundai consumer affairs to "open" a file on my vehicle" make sense...
Thank you again.
If you have the 2.7 liter 4WD version it could be perceived as being slightly sluggish but consider that it has about 173 hp to move 4000 lbs of SUV. The 3.5 liter version has no such problem and spins the front tires easily. I would not spend the hundreds of dollars for a dubious chip "upgrade" by some after market programmer/company that may disturb other functions and certainly may affect that wonderful warranty in a negative way.
