Q: What do you think of the new 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe?
Anyone who owns one or knows about them. Might buy one.
A: Check if you need SUV or 4 X 4 (not all SUV are 4 X4)
Where I live, China-made SUV (not 4 X 4) are generally cheaper than Korean-made SUV, if you do not need 4 X 4
However, Japanese-made SUV, 4 X 4, may be more fuel-economical for high mileage Owners
Do compare all models available that suits your vicinity/usage to decide
Q: I am going to buy a new Hyundai Santa Fe sticker 24K-pay cash-how much will I have to pay (Discount?)?
I can buy any month or time of the month. I am not rushed. I just want the best deal I can get. I am pretty open on color and options. I would prefer to buy locally.
A: I run a Hyundai dealership and would be more than happy to assist you in getting a good deal. If the vehicle stickers for 24000, then invoice on the vehicle is about 23000. For example, I have a gls that stickers for $24890 & invoice is $23858. I don’t think you’ll have a problem buying it for invoice, but if you own a Hyundai, you’ll also qualify for a owner loyalty rebate in addition to the manufacturers rebate. I’m located in Idaho, and the current rebate is a $1000 and $500 owner loyalty rebate. I hope this helps and good luck!
Q: how many people in santa fe, New Mexico own a hyundai santa fe?

Q: New 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe trouble accellerating/braking?
I just bought my new 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe 2 weeks ago, and all was well until about 2 days ago. It started acting up when I try to accellerate…it feels as if it is jerking into gear, or more like it is braking on its own. It seem to be straining until I get past 30 MPH, and then it seem to be ok. But then again, soon as I take my foot off the pedal, it is almost like I am applying the brake as the car slows down quickly – instead of coasting to a stop. Almost like a “grabbing” sensation….
Does anyone know what this could be? Its driving me crazy – as the car drove like a dream before this started. I am taking it in on Monday to have it looked at, but I am afraid they won’t understand what I am talking about. This vehicle only had 6 miles on it when I got it…do you think it needs to be tweaked? Could something be majorly wrong? Help!!!?
A: Hard to say if there’s something major wrong, but no question that is not normal at all and you noticed the sudden change. It sounds like an issue with the Transmission or ECU more than anything else. I hope you will post a followup later today if they diagnose the problem, would be interesting to see what they found.
Q: Is it normal for a new 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe to blow blue/black smoke in the morning?
I leased a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe in June and noticed about a month ago when it started to get cold outside in the morning, it puffed blueish black smoke and now even when the car is warm it smokes. The transmission also stays in first until 30mph and then kicks in hard to second gear. Is that related? The dealer said the smoke is normal since it is a new car and only has 4800 miles and needs to be “broken in” but I don’t believe it. The dealer also said I must be driving the car to hard if the transmission kicks. I feel because I am a woman they are taking advantage of me. My brother advised me to stay away from Hyundai. Should I bring the car to another dealer? Is that normal?
A: You have a book that came with your car stating who to call if the car is not repaired. Look up the numbers and start calling. I have two Hyundai cars and let me tell you the same as the others here, that is not normal with the engine or transmission.
The next time you get a new car, find a better dealer who will fix your car.
Q: opinions of the Hyundai Santa Fe? new or older?

A: I just traded in my 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe.
I LOVED THIS “CAR”!
It handled great! I live up north and it would ride over snowbanks with barely a growl!
She was zippy and trust worthy and roomy. If we hadn’t had more kids..I would have kept her! My husband just traded in his 2004 Santa Fe for a sexy little mid life crisis car.
Not only is it a great car..but if you are going to buy it used..you may still qualify for the 100,000 mile 10 year warranty!
Check into it! good luck!
it also has a good trade in value:

Q: How do I get a new key for a 02 Hyundai Santa Fe?
I do not have a spare key. I only got the one key with the car so what do i have to do to get a new one?
A: My advice is go to the dealer and get one made. It probably does have a chip in it so it has to be programed to you car sadly. It costs about $90 to get a key made for you car. You cant go to lowes or home depot for that key. The cant program it.
Q: Question about folding seats in the new Santa Fe SUV?
one of my relatives is considering a new hyundai santa fe. they test drove one and said it went fine, and they didnt forget to do a thorough walkaround of the car before leaving the showroom. their overall impression of the santa fe was good enough after comparing it to the others. their original plan was to leave the dealer on the first visitation day to sleep on it and think the deal out more thoroughly. now they want to delay the actual purchase for a few months until things get settled. but they regret having forgotten to check out a few things about the car on the visitation day before leaving there. one of the things was to know if the car is able to carry long cargo inside with the trunk door closed (like a ladder). so what they were hoping for was to see that the front passenger’s seat to the right of the driver’s seat folds flat & forward. this feature appears in the smaller Tucson, but not for the santa fe in it’s brochures. for current owners of the newer santa fe, does it??
A: About the Interior & Seats
New Santa Fe is one of the most package-efficient crossover SUVs on the market and presents impressive seating and storage flexibility within the same overall length as Honda Accord Euro.
Hyundai accomplished this by developing an all-new platform that avoids the compromises inherent in typical medium car/SUV platform sharing.
New Santa Fe’s first and second row seats have increased head, leg, and shoulder room with enough room left over to allow a class-leading optional third-row seat design.
The centre row seats are split 60/40 and the backrests not only fold forward almost flat for long loads or sleeping within, but they have 12 rake angle adjustment positions(11 in seven-seater) from vertical—great for carting a big box behind—to quite laid-back.
Maximum in-cabin load length is 2.46m diagonal or 2.18m along the left side behind the left front seat. Maximum cargo width at 1385mm is stocked golf club bag-friendly while Santa Fe’s space between its rear wheel arches is 1160mm, 20mm wider than Territory (in-house measurement). Cargo volume aft of the front seats is a cavernous 2213 litres with 969 litres behind the second row.
To ease access to the third row in the seven-seater, the kerbside 40 percent section of the centre row seats tumble folds forward up off the floor, without requiring head restraint removal or the front seat moved forward.
Hope the infromation was useful to u
Q: Did we get a good deal on our new 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited?
My wife and I just bought a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited 2WD. The cash price was 38662, we made a 400 dollar downpayment and recieved a 3500 rebate, had a 700 dollar trade in which they added 1000 dollar cash incentive too. This leaves 23062 to pay over 72 months at 7.99% interest at 408.12 a month. Did we get a good deal?
I’m sorry the cash price was 28662, NOT 38662
A: Your interest rate is higher then normal due to the long loan length, you may consider getting a new loan from http://www.eloan.com for your local bank for around 6.5% over 60 months, 72 months is too long to be paying for a car.
You didn’t mention if you had any option packages, but you must have since the base retail price of the Santa Fe Limited FWD is $28,445. Lets assume you got a touring package with a retail of $3100, +$725 freight, – $3500 factory rebate and you get a price of $29,020 prior to any negotiation. So, its sounds like you got the price down to $28662 a discount of only $358, I think you could have gotten it for another $2000 off that price, so it was not a good deal based on the numbers I have listed here as your purchase price and package. Does your cash price include sales tax, in MD that would be $1700 on a vehicle like this.
Bottom line, you paid what you paid and now need to enjoy your new Santa Fe and be happy to know that you got a very nice SUV regardless of what you paid.

Q: 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe — Just got new transmission now “Check Engine” light is on?
Ok … I’ve had lots o’ trouble since having my Santa Fe serviced last week. A new transmission was put in and then a new starter the very next day. The starter was put in at the advice of the technician who stated that my starter was bad and needed replaced. Turns out the starter was not the culprit … this I found out when the car wouldn’t start the same night I brought it home from getting a new starter. Upon taking the car back to the dealership and further inspection, the technician found that “wiring to the transmission range selector switch failing intermittantly causing it to look like the starter was failing intermittantly. Necessary to replace 2 terminals in the ranger selector switch and reinstalled the old starter and retest many time and everything check ok at this time.” That was late in the afternoon when I picked up my “fixed” Santa Fe. The very next afternoon driving home from work, the check engine light comes on. I took to AutoZone to get a “heads-up” on the issue beforing returning to the Hyundai Service Center. Code was P0305. My Santa Fe is at the dealership now getting worked on. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Is it something caused by the previous work from this past week?? I am a female and just don’t want to get screwed over.
Oh yes … the AutoZone guy told me it was a misfire in cylinder 5. Hyundai just told me they are not seeing a misfire in cylinder 5 (although they verified this is what the code is for) and are trying to determine the cause of the check engine light.
A: I was right when I told you to take the car back because the cables have not being properly adjusted causing the gear selector not to allow the starter to jump. Now….related to fault code P0305, this indicates a missfire on cylinder #5. What would cause this? Hard to say… a bad spark plug or wire or failed injector. Could this have been caused by the tech that replaced your transmission? Possibly, but hard to say because I can’t see the quality of work he’s done. Best advise is to wait and see what the dealer comes up with. After that you can draw the line and make your judgment.
Q: 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe won’t start after having a new transmission put it …?
My Santa Fe had a new transmission put in this past weekend at a Hyundai dealership service center. When I arrived to pick it up, the service guy said that when he went to move it this morning, it would not start so he needed to put in a new starter; he said that the dashboard lights were lit up but there was no noise when he turned the key. He said they tried to jump it and that did nothing so it was the starter. So they put in a new starter … the car drove well that same day but that night when I went to leave, the same issue happened … it would not start. No noise or anything when I turned the key … all the lights worked … no help when I tried to jump it. Any suggestions??
A: When the dealer put the transmission back in the car did not adjust the shifter cable (for A/T) properly, it would not allow the engine to start. To find out, just try to remove shifter from P to D and then shift it HARD back to P. If it starts, all you have to do is to go back to dealer and have them adjusting the cable. Also, if it doesn’t work, shift in N and see if you can start. It looks like the starter doesn’t engage not because its broken but probably because the shifter lock doesn’t disengage.
Good luck
Q: What are the best tires for my 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS 6V. ? I live in the suburbs of New York.?
I generally drive 55-80 mph with a lot of highway driving. And I am looking to save money. Also, my Santa Fe has 36,000 miles on it.
A: Costco has good prices and will tell you which models are compatible with your car and install tires. We went on a weekend and it was still fast.
Q: 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Rear window opening?

A: Read the manual that came with the car. I’m sure if you look you will find your answer.
Q: Do I need mounting brackets to mount new speakers (rear) in my 2004 hyundai santa fe?
I’m trying to install new speakers in my 04 hyundai santa fe. I’m putting in kicker ds600 speakers which are 6 4/3″ like crutchfield says. I pulled out the rear stock speakers and they are 6 3/4″ but theres a square bracket built into the speaker that makes it wider so it can be screwed into the frame. I cant install the new speakers without some kind of bracket to fit the frame. Does anyone know what I need to do or if I need to buy a bracket?
A: Shouldn’t.. The frames are the same between models even, therefore the holes are there no matter what model.. Should just be able to pop off the panel and install.. may need to drill and put self tapping screws in it or find the little frame clamp things that have threads on one side with a screw that goes in it.
