The car keeps jumping into first gear when driving
The car keeps jumping into first gear when driving throwing me into the steering wheel. Yesterday while on the highway it did and I almost got hit. It has been in the repair shop almost the full month of January, again the whole month of February and 17 days of March. It is back again as of 3/23/26 in the shop. I feel it is dangerous and not trust worthy at this point. Is it going to take me dying or killing someone else before they either fix it or pull it back under Lemon Law.

Vehicle sucks
Ever since I’ve purchased the vehicle I’ve had nothing but problems. It’s a 2025 calligraphy and the day I purchased it it was back into the shop with 19 different electrical issues and the dealership said everything was fine. Till this day my dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree and nothing gets done! Have premium leather seats a they’re super uncomfortable and it wrinkled in less then a month of having the vehicle. The transmission makes hard shifting on hills when coming to a complete stop and go. The build it cheap inside. It’s easy to get scuff marks and dings.

Nice Car, Great Mileage, Kindof Dumb
The car is nice. It gets great mileage.
It has all kinds of cameras/sensors on it. However, it really is kindof dumb. If it had great self driving/autopilot, even if just driving itself on a freeway, I'd feel much better about it.

Excellent service experience
I was greeted promptly upon arrival, my assigned service rep handled everything accurately, and I had no issues whatsoever with the work that was done or the length of time it took.

ATH 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe
Love my Santa Fe but I’m still pissed about needing to get rid of my Sonata with only 60k miles because of known engine problems and burning a quart of oil every 1200 miles.

Love this suv
I love how my car rides, all of the safety features, and conveniences. Those 1 star is gone because there are things like unlocking the doors automatically that doesn’t always work, and if I pass the back of my car even when I do not stand behind it , the back door opens .

Great Car When its Working
When working it is a great car - comfortable with seamless transitions from electrical to gas engines. 3 major repairs in 13 months and 5,000 miles - fuel injectors replaced, safety recall for rear-camera, and battery coolant pump replaced and some kind of voltage regulation problem as yet unidentified

Hybrid Santa Fe review
While the exterior and interior are very nice quality there are features that didn’t hit the mark.
