2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport consumer reviews

I have had nothing but problems with this car since I purchased it. Apparently Hyundai had faulty engines during this time period. The engine had to be replaced 2 months after I bought it. Then 10 months later the engine goes out again!! I would not recommend a Hyundai to anyone!

I am getting run around by Hyundai even thought they are suppose to replace it for free . Well today it died and I spent $200 having it towed and now I have no car. I am so upset because I am single mom of 3 and absolutely imperative that I work.

Nice looking vehicle goes good in the snow but the 2.4 liter motor is junk I had to get mine replaced overall very reliable suv.

I had to turn my car back in because they trying to say there's no recall on it. The car was losing oil all the time. Had me sitting on side the road. And now they want me to finish paying for it.

2024: My wife has a 2017 SF Sport with 2.4L GDI engine. Car has every option (including a/c seats and 360 Surround camera) except adaptive cruise control. My wife loves this car. About 2 years ago (2022), we started having paint problems. At about 85K miles, we had engine problems. Towed to dealer, and took a full month for them to diagnose problem. Received engine replacement authorization this morning, without much hassle. However, it will take 1-2 months to get new engine. Will update review after we get engine done.

I'm not sure how the person above's kids are uncomfortable. I'm 6'4" and there's tons of room. I stopped reading your wortless review at that point. Iobey Santa Fe sport.

we have a 2017 Santa Fe sport 2.4 engine. The engine now has a drop valve and piston #3 50 PSI. Engine needs replacement. We had an extended warranty that expired on April 6 2023. Call Hyundai to see if we qualify for the 10 year 200,000 KM warranty but because it the upper part of the motor it is not included. to replace the engine I'm quoted $ 9500. to fix it I'm quoted over $ 5500. How is this possible that we need to replace an engine after 6 years??? this should not happen. the car is not reliable.

Not a bad vehicle the 2.4 liter motor is junk but Hyundai will replace it with a better motor the interior is nice overall its a sharp looking vehicle. But I will not buy another Hyundai with the garbage 2.4 liter gdi motor in it. The replacement motor is better. It's a good suv for the snow. Very reliable SUV.

The first time I got this car as a lease was great. Then I opted to buy the car. My kids are growing taller that this car is not that comfortable for them. Now I'm having trouble with oil consumption on this car. Been topping the oil from my local oil change center a quart every week. I was told that's the engine will not last if this oil consumption will not be fixed. Been to hyundai ohare, il they did a thorough check and tried to con us for the amount due for a work done- transmission fluids. The replaced the recalls. No mention about fluid leaking from the engine. They don't have a loaner car there so I waited before going through the 1st stage in oil consumption test. Since we got con there, we opted to go to another hyundai dealer in glenview- napleton hyundai. There we went through 2 stages of the oil consumption test, had oil change before the start of the oil consumption test as directed. No oil leak mentioned from there. We didn't finish the 3rd stage coz now the guy in service we dealt with is not working there anymore as we were told. All of a sudden their manager told us that there's oil leak now he noted from the engine. Nothings been mentioned all these time, even from mechanics from the said dealership. So I pulled out our car from there . So I'm left with this unreliable car and I'm afraid of my safety driving in the highway everyday to work as a first responder and to do of my kids to school as well. I've checked my Vin # unfortunately its not one of the list for engine recall but I'm having this problem that need to be addressed. We're so frustrated and angry about this problem without any solution. My previous car I had it for 18 years- Toyota Camry and don't have this problem. I thought this would be a great car but proved me wrong.

At first I'm happy with this car but once my kids get taller there's not much space for them. Also my car is having problems with oil consumption. Been to 2 dealership with no solution. My engine needs replacement but they're playing around with me. The other dealer was trying to con me for more money and the other after following their instructions all of a sudden mysteriously found some leaking in the engine which was not even noted before that it was inspected in 2 hyundai dealership including the one that told us there's a leak. Now they want us to spend more money before they will even continue with the oil consumption test. I've been topping oil a quart every week but still they don't see that as a problem. I'm so afraid of my safety driving everyday in the highway to work and school drop off. I'm a first responder and a mother who commutes every day with this unreliable car.
