2012 Santa Fe 3.5 limited w/ nav. Suv is 3 weeks old I turn on the nav today and a pixel was red I'm guessing it's a broken pixel? I turned it on and off for a bit, changed channel and played around. It's dead center upper screen. What would you do? I really don't want my dash ripped apart but if it's going to get worse... And it's not perfect and I do have OCD with my vehicle.
View 11 RepliesJust picked up a CPO '07 Passat Wagon (Sport Pkg2, 30k on the odo) and recently found the multi-function display between the tach and speedo has a malfunction. It sort of behaves like a melting screen saver where all the pixels in the display shift vertically and warp, or it blanks out all together and throws up a vertical stripe about 5 pixels wide. All the steering wheel controls work fine and index through the functions as expected. It has done this pretty much every time I drive the car since I picked it up.
The car obviously has plenty of warranty left so I have a service appointment at the dealer next week, but just curious if this is a common issue- a forum and google search yielded nothing. I've had a couple A4's in the past that had trip computer displays that acted up in hot weather, but not like this. Also, my in-laws have a MkV GTI with the same/similar trip computer and it hasn't ever done this.
2007 Santa Fe just broke the rear wiper arm while trying to replace the blade. Went to rockauto.com to get replacement arm but they don't list one for the Santa Fe but do for the Tucson. My question is will the Tucson arm work on the Santa Fe?
View 1 RepliesIt happened while I was putting back the radiator drain plug. The head of the drain plug broke. I used the easy out tool to extract the screw. I managed to make a hole in the screw but was not able to pull it out. The drain plug got spread on the radiator thread instead. I tried to pull it with a thin screwdriver. I managed to broke half of it and take the small pieces out. Unfortunately, when it was almost out, it jumped up inside the radiator...
I have unsuccessfully tried a vacuum to suck it out. What are my option at this point? Could I just leave it there or I must take it out somehow?
So I was driving yesterday and my roof was still covered in snow. Came to a stop sign on a hill and all the snow from the roof decided to come off all at once onto my windshield. I turned the wipers on and only 1 wiper moved so I turned them off and then had to get out and clean all the snow off. Now my passenger side wiper arm doesn't move or moves randomly but not in sync with the other at all. If I lift the wiper arm up so the blade is in the air the arm moves no problem but the second I put the blade down it acts up again. It doesn't look bent or anything but it is loose and wobbly as in I can move the arm up and down where the drive side one seems pretty firm. How I can even take off the arm in the first place to look at it?
View 13 RepliesFor some months, I've heard squeaking noise from passenger side suspension. Sound like it's from shock & spring on bump road.
This video sound is very similar : Squeaking Noise, Front Driver Side - YouTube ...
I looked at my suspension. and found rubber bushing is broken. Driver's side bushing is normal.
Is this noise related to the broken bushing?
Is it easy to replace the rubber by myself?
A guy said ATP AT-205 reseal will fix this noise in Youtube video. Is it true?

I have a 2.7L Santa Fe 7 seat automatic in Shanghai, China, imported new from Korea in 2007.
When it is raining outside with the air conditioning turned on and then I turn the headlights on, the A/C goes off. there are no lights on the console and the fans stop blowing. If I turn the headlights off again the A/C works again.
I am currently driving a 2012 Santa Fe Sport (Canadian). Over the weekend I encountered a problem with the ignition - the key would not turn. It happened once in the morning but it turned after I jiggled it a few times. It happened again in the afternoon but this time it would not turn at all. I had to call roadside assistance. They had me try a few things (pumping the breaks, shaking the steering wheel) but I couldn't get it to turn. They had to send a tow truck. When he arrive he fiddled with it for 30 seconds and got it to work but could not really explain why - only suggested that I take it to the dealership to have it looked at.
The vehicle is only a few months old (5200km).
I have a 2009 Santa Fe Limited with 47,000 Km on it.
Over the past 2 weeks I have noticed that when I go to start up the car, the ignition doesn't sound the same. Meaning, that typically when I start the car, I hear a quick turn of the ignition and away I go. When I now start up the car, the ignition does not turn over as quick and I'm now hearing a bit of a hesitation.
I'm not sure whether it's real or even possible. Starting this summer, when it's hot and I turn on AC, I feel loss of power from the engine. When need for speed, it's slow to accelerate. The engine is less powerful than when it's cool and no AC running. Is this possible? It's 2010 V6 AWD.
View 6 Replies2007 Santa Fe. Recently my turn signal has not been working. It seems to act finicky and not want to work every time I need it too. I noticed that this happened once every blue moon in the winter time when I purchased the vehicle new back in '07. However it has been occurring more frequently as of the past 3 days.
I have checked the fuse and it is fine. My hazard signals work when my turn signal works if that is any additional indication of what might be going on. What can be done to remedy the situation?
I just bought a used 2007 Hondai santa fe. 65K. Loved it until four times when I turn key to start the car 'stumbles'. Dealer finds nothing wrong. What I notice today is I did not have my foot on the brake. My 11 yr old Subaru started w/o (not good I know) so I developed a bad habit. So now I wonder if this is not a problem but rather a safety feature and I need to always have my foot on the brake at start.
View 2 RepliesHave a line of dead pixels in the blue display? Is it something worth complaining over to toyota you think?
View 6 RepliesI've changed out all of my external lights for led's, including the turn signals. I had planned on replacing the turn signal relays with led comparable versions but have been unable to find the relays in the fuse boxes. The box that does the actual clicking under the dash seems like it could be it but it looks completely proprietary to this model, and not readily available in the compatible version.
I ended up installing resistors for now but that's caused other problems with my lights. Now when I turn my high beams on all 4 turn signals light up solid and I am unable to use them until I turn the highs off.
So, I would love to know if I do have a relay replacement option for my 2012 Santa Fe...
All my turn and hazard signals work normally when engaged but when it snaps back into the off position the turn signal (sound only) keeps going rapidly. It goes on and off randomly. It's the sound in the dash only. What it is? I can replace it myself I just need to figure out what it is.
View 44 RepliesAs I'm driving my 2007 Santa Fe with the A/C turned on, it will randomly turn off. I'll try to push the button to turn it back on and it won't turn back on, I wait try it again and eventually it turns back on. There are times when I'm driving without the A/C on and it kicks on by itself. After about 3months of this weird on and off, my A/C now will NOT turn on. The other day my friend gave the glove compartment a kick and it miraculously turned on. There was even an instance where I was driving over bumps in the street and my A/C finally kicked on and even when I've hit the brake hard it's turned on. I want to get this fixed but do not have the cash right now to take it to a mechanic or the dealership. Would this have something to do with the compressor? Is it electronic?
View 3 RepliesI recently bought a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe from a rental company. So far the only problem is that the radio and front defroster sometimes turn themselves on. Just today we were driving and the radio came on. Then later when accelerating it seemed sluggish, and I noticed the front defroster was on. I turned it off, and a few minutes later it came on again. It happened about 5 times while on the same 5 mile trip. Will be taking it to the local dealer/service center after holiday weekend.
View 1 RepliesI have had an ongoing issue with my 2010 Santa Fe Limited with the battery randomly being drawn down and would not start the vehicle.
I saw a post somewhere on the internet to remove the Negative connection on the fender and grind it down to the bare metal so that it has a good ground connection.
I have done that last week, but last night before turning in for the night i looked out the window and saw lights in my driveway. I went out to investigate and found that the Santa Fe's turn signal/hazard lights were all on front and back and not flashing.
I got in the vehicle and turned the lights on and off with no keys and they all went out.
I got the schematics for the Santa Fe and i believe it could be the Hazard relay that seems to be located inside the I/P Junction box or could be the Hazard Relay Control in the BCM.
The map lights in my 2011 Santa Fe GLS are supposed to come on whenever the door is opened or unlocked, and up until recently they did just that. But now they don't.
There is a button next to one of the map lights labeled "door" that controls this function, but I've pushed that on and off to no avail.
I can turn the map lights on manually, so the bulbs are fine. And the dome light (further back in the car) still does come on when the door is opened or unlocked. Just not the map lights.
I have 2007 Santa Fe LTD which will intermittently not start. All electrical devices work fine but when you turn the key the starter will not engage. Keep trying the key and after 5-10-100 try's the car will start. The next time it may start on the first attempt or it might not. Sometimes it will go weeks without a problem then it will not start again. I have checked the starter relay, battery, and cables. It seems like the alarm is faulty and not letting the power get to the starter.
View 16 RepliesI have a late 2010 R 2.2 (the new motor)and have had a problem with the trafficators (indicators) not returning after making a right turn. They do return if the turn is shallow and if the turn is sharp but not in between. I've raised it with the dealer and workshop foreman 5 times but just get told it is normal with these and it's because of the airbag placement.
