This is my third Hyundai. Have had the Sonata, Santa Fe Sport and currently the Santa Fe Ultimate AWD. I am currently waiting on some good rebates or sale prices on the 2019 Santa Fe Ultimate AWD which will be my fourth one.. As far as quality, ride, comfort and technology, I would have the say all the Hyundai's we have had were equal quality wise. Hyundai builds great vehicles and I have recommended them to friends and family. Some have switched to Hyundai and thank me for it. Their vehicles range from the Elantra to the Genesis. Hyundai keeps improving the quality and technology of their vehicles and give you a lot for your money. Some high end/luxury vehicles fall short of Hyundai. With Hyundai your are not just paying for a name, you are paying for the best. I will continue buying the Hyundai brand as long as they continue to make high quality, technologically advanced and stylish vehicles.

When I bought my Santa Fe new in 2016 I couldn’t put gas in the tank. Pump shut off every two seconds. The tank and all assorted parts were replaced. Still can’t put gas in it if the weather is very hot or very cold. Now have been battling the dealer, Hyundai’s customer care and corporate to get my screen replaced which does not come on unless the car has been driven for more than 20 minutes. Dealer refuses to replace it even though it only has 44,000 miles on it and I have an extended warranty. Runs good but I’ll never buy another Hyundai.

Good overall but ONE MAJOR ANNOYING ISSUE for me

Update 3/12/13: Once again the accessory power issue continues to be the most annoying and irritating thing about this vehicle for me. I’m still trying to learn that I cannot plug in my phone or listen to the radio or other things you would normally expect to be able to do in your car without running the engine! Update 3/12/17: The battery discharge warning issue is more persistent and annoying than ever! My original review follows. In this review I want to focus just on the one big problem I have with my 2016 Hyundai Limited Ultimate SUV which I wish I had known about before making the purchase. In general I agree with other reviewers that this is a good vehicle overall and a good value. It does most things you'd expect from a modern SUV quite well. However buyers should be aware that you cannot sit in the vehicle and listen to the very excellent sound system in this vehicle without the engine running! If you do you will get a loud beep sound every two minutes or so along with a warning that you are discharging the battery. This beep tone is just as loud as the music so you cannot ignore it. So You cannot enjoy your music in this vehicle in ACC mode knowing you will be hearing this annoying beep every two minutes or so. The dealer has advised me that this is so you don't discharge the battery which of course is important. However why couldn't they have designed this car so that something like just listening to the radio could be done without having to run the engine? On the side of Hyundai, if the battery does go dead there is a Lengthy restart process to get all of the technology reset back to where it was before the battery died. I could see where this could potentially generate additional service calls, but for someone like me ( and plenty of other folks I am sure ) who just likes to sit in their vehicle and listen to their music on that excellent sound system this is a huge issue and unacceptable. There are plenty of vehicles out there with equal or more technology than this one which do not have this problem. This is a design error on the part of Hyundai. If I had known this in advance I would NEVER have purchased this vehicle. I am NOT looking forward to the next five years of this! Hyundai is fully aware of this issue and if it gets enough attention I am hoping they might take some kind of corrective action in future models. I am still holding out hope there may be some future firmware update from Hyundai which may resolve this issue or at least diminish it somewhat on their current offerings. If not being able to use the radio and other accessories in this vehicle without the engine running is not an issue for you then I think you will be quite happy with this vehicle.

Got rid of this vehicle because of issues with electrical circuits and check engine lights. Was good until three years and 31500 miles. That's when problems started. Dealer could not find or fix electrical problems. So much for the "best warranty in the business." I cannot recommend this vehicle if you are looking for a long term vehicle.
