The Good? Getting great gas mileage if you can stand to resist the fast lanes! The Bad? Push Button CVT transmission The Ugly?

Problem vehicle
Bought this Santa Fe in June 2023. Less than four weeks later, the vehicle stalls in a rainstorm. Had to have it towed back to the dealer. It took almost 5 weeks to get it back. I can’t understand with all this modern technology, why the computer can’t tell them what was wrong with my vehicle. They kept on throwing different stuff at it and nothing seem to work. I am no car mechanic, but a couple of the things they try to be getting could not have obviously been the problem. I would think the mechanics would be smarter than that, and I told him what they suggested would not fix the problem , but they wouldn’t listen. Finally got it back and I’m not even sure what it took to fix it because it gave me a whole fistful of papers and stuff. They tried that about two months later check engine light comes on, had to bring it back in after I waited for that part to come , then about three months later when I was passing a vehicle, the car started shaking violently and was most of its power. I was 20 miles from my destination, I made it but going up hills it almost would not make it up the hill. And the shaking continue off and on for the 20 miles not shaking like a outer balance tire would but a violent shake. Car set for five hours, then when I went to drive home, it seemed OK. Took it to the dealer to see if they can figure out what was wrong with it, and they’re built a computer would not show any problem at all. It also did it again about a month later, still cannot figure out what was wrong with it. What a piece of junk.

Excellent Buy for the Roominess and Hybrid Engine
Very happy with this SUV - have 10,000 miles on it. Excellent radio, electronics, seating, and comfort. Hybrid is excellent but mileage at 32-35 mpg is a little off
