Hyundai Santa Fe. Lemon or dud?
This is less a review on The Glen and more a review on a really expensive DUD of a car. I bought a car from Hyundai - 2nd hand one but thinking it comes from Hyundai themselves, it should be good. Bought the Santa Fe Elite. Since I've had this car, I have added 37 000km on the clock
During this 37 000km ( 3 year period), I've had to have the rear fog light repaired, The hand brake button was broken and needed to be replaced. Then the turbo went and needed to be replaced. Then the car's handbrake wouldn't release and this needed to be replaced (took a few weeks with no car to wait for the part). Every 6 months in this 3 years I need to refill the aircon as it keeps running out of "gas" or something, and every time they say they have found the issue but 6 months later, same problem. Now the audio buttons on the steering wheel has just stopped working - they say i need to replace the clock spring. And the car has a pronounced shudder on the steering wheel when i brake which according to them, its the steering rack. - Oh wait and of course by now the car is out of warranty and the warranty plan doesn't cover it.
Not sure if hyundai completely lost their standard on what a good, reliable car is (had my previous Santa Fe for 9 years) or if I just got the most expensive dud / lemon in the market?
