I've had Santa Fe 2015 for 10 years now.

I've had Santa Fe 2015 for 10 years now. Last week my mom went on a long 4 hour drive trip. There was a big dumb on the ground and she fell on it. The car was flipped 6 times but guess what? I videocalled my mom in an hour and she was fine with just a bruise on her wrist. Imagine keep flipping 6 times and not having a scratch. This car saved my mom's life.

Correct the problem

The mileage is poor. The tank is at 17 gallons. I gave complaint numerous times because I do get 300 miles per tank. Sometimes it registers 7 miles per gallon. I get such poor mileage, I have a 2015 Santa Fe Sport with not even 22,000 miles. Can afford to keep to keep gas in it.

Several major problems...

This car has had 3 MAJOR warranty services in 60,000 miles. A new cam shaft, a cam shaft sensor and a failed timing chain! That's unacceptable in a car of this age.

Great car for the money

If you are looking for a vehicle that is reliable and worth your money, this is the one. We purchased the Limited Ultimate, AWD, and it has not disappointed. It has versatility, since my wife is a home health nurse, and it is small enough to give us the ability to fit in tight spaces. We do have the third row option with the power tailgate and pano sunroof. That is my wife's favorite part, besides the blue tooth option which was non-negotiable for her. We are satisfied and feel that we will be having this car for many years to come.

Goes to heck at 100k

We purchased a 2015 Santa Fe due to wanting a 3rd row with 2 young daughters who are in activities and such, needing extra space for weekends and competitions, as well as hauling friends, etc on the weekend. Read the reviews, thought this was a good one to get. was 2 years old and 39k miles. Now at 110k and everything is going to heck. A/C went out at 105k, going to cost $2,200 to fix, wheel bearings went out at 108 (both front), brakes have been replaced twice since we owned it, alternator replaced twice, last time was at 92k. It's been a nice vehicle when it works, but has started to become a money pit. Our other vehicles, which include a Dodge Dart (!) have not had any issues - we maintain our vehicles very well with oil changes and other recommended services. Our 2014 Dart was purchased new and now has 192k miles and still going strong (2.4L engine) Will be looking at a VW Atlas or Toyota Highlander for our next SUV, very dissappointed and most likely will not go back to Hyundai. Should have taken a mechanic advice when we got a loaner Hyundai when we had our Ford escape in for service (the vehicle we eventually traded in for the Santa Fe). He said Hyundai's look great but are only good for about 100k miles. he was dead on.

Very reliable vehicle

We use this car everyday and have had no problems. The ride is smooth and quiet. My wife uses this car for work and we have taken many long trips with no issues.
