Think I got a Lemon
I was really looking forward to my new Santa Fe and for the first 90 days I was really enjoying it. Then on day 91 there was an Airbag Control Unit fault and for the past 45 days it has been in the service department with no end in sight. I have opened up a buy back case and it looks like Hyundai is going to buy the vehicle back, but I don't know for how much. This is one of my biggest concerns. My first payment to Hyundai was on June 27th and the service department has had the car since July 1st. I have now made two payments on the vehicle (June and July) and haven't used it since July started. I would love to just swap out the vehicle for another of the same type since I think this is a one off occasion but it doesn't seem to work that way. Now I may lose my 0% loan (big reason for the sell) and not have any vehicle. I really did like the car but losing that loan and not being able to get a new car without paying extra will turn me away from Hyundai. This is my third Hyundai, but may be my last if I have to put in more money to get the same car. Its too bad, I really did enjoy it.
