Worst Vehicle I have ever owned

To say that this vehicle is bad is to do a disservice to all of the bad things in this world. I would rather have the 2004 Nissan Xterra I had as a teenager before its engine caught fire. The tires popped by a small pothole in the road, the backup camera and sensors have malfunctioned essentially since we purchased the vehicle. The cabin was cheaply made, with multiple items in the vehicle breaking or falling off within a year of driving it. These are just the things I can think of right now. This is the absolute worst vehicle I have ever owned, and somehow has cost me the most.

Do not purchase

I have had a Hyundai before but the newer cars/models are all a job and the franchise/dealerships are dishonest. My car have broken down on me so many times and Hyundai and the lemon law refuse to help me. I guess they want something unfortunate to happen to me, before they help. Save your money and look away. This brand and the people who work with it is garbage.

santa fe 2025

overall Im happy with the vechicle, however within 2 weeks of owning a cover lock on the luggage rack fell off in high wind. Then in less than a year the other cover lock fell off as well. Seems like maybe this is a poor design. My dealership hasn't replaced them as they say the part is not available from Hyundai. Also while I know these are safety features the automatic warning systems need to be able to be shut off (such as 'take a coffee break" or forward viewing.

Happy just a few quirks

Overall very happy with the 2025 model. I had a 2019 model and that is why I stayed with same vehicle model. However there have been a few flaws… the sideboard came loose and a technician was able to “pop” it back in, the metal part that is along the front windshield popped off and thru weeks of waiting for another part, was finally fixed, and now I have an irritating rattle noise coming from the front seat. When someone is sitting in it there is no rattle, but I don’t always have a passenger as it’s just me . I don’t have the time right now to bring it in to the shop due to work schedule. Overall I like all the functions of the 2025 model and the room it has, just these flaws have me guessing how quickly vehicles are “put together” and I can’t avoid sounding like my elder relatives right now, but they truly don’t make things like they used to.

2024-2025 models have a engine/transmission problem.

I understand that 2024-2025 Santa Fe models had a new engine/transmission issue where when traveling the car would shift into "limp mode" instantly slowing the car to no more than 20mph suddenly!. Very dangerous. I do not advise these two years on this model, and before buying, I suggest you be sure the model and year you purchase does not have this flaw. I understand the issue for other year Santa Fe (including the 2026 model) have the older type engine ( very reliable) and that they work properly. I have owned Hyundai's ( 2 at a time) for over 30 years and never had an issued until the 2024 and 2025 models and it is a known issue easily found on the Internet. Except for this model, I have previously always been happy with Hyundai vehicles.
