Engine takes off on its own
Initially, the car was comfortable and easy to drive. However, while I was parked, with the engine idling, the engine revved and the car took off on its own. The dealership and national customer service call center wouldn't help, and in fact, blamed me! They claimed that no Hyundai vehicles have this flaw, even when I produced several news stories showing that this had, indeed, happened in other Santa Fe-s. After several months of run-around from the dealer and the national customer service call center, I didn't feel safe in the car and sold it at a loss. With this kind of customer service, I won't recommend Hyundai to anyone!
