Hyundai Santa Fe Sport

"Increased oil usage"

""Since December 2023, the engine uses excessive oil. It needs a quart about every 600 miles.""

"Paint chipping in chunks"

"Repair costs of over $1800.."

"The engine light would stay on and the car would rumble and stutter when driving. The dealer said mote than likely was a bad fuel injector and replaced one. We also had replaced the plugs and one ignition coil. Still did not fix the problem."

"Pulsation and vibration down steeper grades around 93,000 miles. Rotors and pads replaced and problem was resolved."

"Fairly severe wheel shake when braking"

"Paint is chipping on front of hood"

"The sunroof wouldn't close properly. My extended warranty said wasn't covered. I had the sunroof closed. Now don't use it."

"Remote won't work"

"The car usually runs fine. Then one day, all of a sudden, the car started running very rough and It limped home. The next morning It started rough and ran rough and shook violently while running. I went to the local car parts store and bought a pack of spark plugs,and that solved the problem. The old spark plugs were very caked with gunk that i believe was burnt oil. This vehicle is driven about 1000-1250 miles per month and I put 4 quarts of oil per month into this engine per month. It is not leaking any oil at all. It burns oil at a rate so high that I put 1 quart of oil in the engine each Saturday morning. I check the oil every other day to make sure it is ok. When I check the oil Saturday morning it is usually just at or just below the MINIMUM mark on the stick. I put a quart of oil in and it bumps it back up to the FULL mark on the oil stick. Drive for a week and repeat the next Saturday. In my opinion the spark plugs were due for replacement anyway because the car had 108,000 miles on it at that time. But, the oil consumption is excessive and it gets expensive. I put Pennzoil Ultra Full Synthetic 5w20 oil in it and it costs about $11 per quart at the local auto parts store. That's about $572 per year if i drive the same mileage each week."

"There is a large round plastic knob that controls the interior fan speed for the ac/heater inside the cabin of the vehicle. That quit working and the ac was fan was stuck in the ON position and it was stuck blowing on HIGH speed all the time. After a week of excessive noise on my long drive to work I couldn't stand the noise anymore. I got this one repair done at the local Hyundai dealership. The repair cost a total of $1306 (including around $230 for a diagnostic fee). This is a very excessive amount for a plastic knob. The reason it cost so much is that the plastic knob is mounted to a piece of hardware that is a circuit board. The entire circuit board had to be replaced and the part alone was around $800. My son also has a Hyundai Santa Fe with the same broken fan speed knob. Because my repair was so much money my son has decided NOT to repair his vehicle. He is just going to live with broken fan speed knob."
