Horrible experience with the 23’ Santa Fe.
After leasing my 2023 Santa Fe in April of 2023, the check engine light came on driving it off the lot. Little did I know then, this would be a two nightmare. I had a total of probably 10+ loaner vehicles with in this 2 year range of time. The heat would not work past 40mph, the engine temp gage was always at zero, and the vehicle thought it was periodically over heating. The dealership kept replacing parts but nothing was fixed. The longest time I had a loaner vehicle was almost 5 months in one stretch. Second longest time was almost 4 months. Then there was about 8 different times it was in for service for about 6-8 weeks at a time. Thankfully, I was able to get rid of it and buy a Telluride this week. I will never ever purchase a Hyundai again. Also, I did have a case open about it with Hyundai customer care. The most they offered us was one month lease payment reimbursement. It was egregious. Also, we have 3 young children in car seats, and a few of the times they gave me a small Santa Cruz truck. As you can imagine that’s a tight fit for a family of 5. Finally my last loaner I had was a palisade. They switched me from a Santa Cruz to a palisade because I think at that point the dealership just had pity on my situation. I will forever steer clear of all Hyundai products. I maybe drove my 23 Santa Fe for a total of 6 months in this past two year span. It was an awful experience.
