Where to begin? This SUV has been nothing but trouble since rolling it off the lot. I've been in for warranty work 3 times in two months, with more scheduled next week. In fact, I've driven more rentals and courtesy cars since owning this than the car itself. Issues I encountered: rear heater only blows cold air, the back window simply shattered had to have replaced (no lie), lumbar button mounted improperly, and only went one way, dash display intermittently cuts in and out, the bluetooth quality is atrocious, the trim paint in the interior will chip off if even breathed on too hard, It wouldn't even turn over twice, still more to list! Beware of this ride. It's riddled with defects

Overall, I love this 6-passenger car that allow folding down of all the seats (except front) for some extreme cargo space. It drives and handles extremely well...when it lets you. We all make minor steering adjustments every few seconds to correct for lane drift, bumps in the road, wind, etc. Occasionally, at speeds above 35mph, this car decides it wants to lock the steering wheel straight. Not so much that you can't turn it, but it takes extra effort. It gets exhausting over the course of a long trip...and is an obvious safety concern. I reported it to the dealer when it began occuring--about 35k miles, but they couldn't find anything. It doesn't happen all the time. The navigation system is not easily updated and it is expensive to do so. Low-beam headlights are weak.

Excellent upgrade over previous model

I traded in a 2010 Santa Fe Limited FWD which was fully loaded for the 2013 GLS AWD. The car is a serious upgrade in every way. The external styling is much improved. The internal styling is also lovely, with much improved materials, backup camera and navigation system. The biggest improvement is in the overall ride and quietness. The previous model was quite noisy and you felt every imperfection in the road. This model is as quiet as a luxury sedan and goes over bumps very smoothly. Also, the previous model exhibited serious understeer when accelerating. This one does not, probably due to the AWD. So far, I'm getting better than advertised gas mileage.
Cracked motor

I bought a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe mid 2018. I bought the vehicle from autonation ford in coconut creek. I’m the second owner of the vehicle with a clean title and accident free. Bought the car with 102xxx miles and the car currently has 109xxx. The car stopped working at a red light when i was about to make a uturn took to King Hyundai to check, because that’s where i get all my services done by the manufacture since i bought the vehicle, they told me that the motor was cracked. A cracked motor on an accident free vehicle. Hyundai decided not to give any help. Will never buy or refer any vehicles from them ever again.
