Bought a Santa Fe hybrid calligraphy in June 12volt battery issues. The vehicle has been at the dealership for over 3 months. The 12 volt battery keeps being drained to the point of being ruined. Hyundai is aware of the issue and is working on it. The dealership has given me a courtesy car but I bought a Santa Fe and by now it should have been repaired. I filed a claim through Hyundai, my case worker was rude. Rick
Wait for the 2025 Model Year

First let me say that I loved the vehicle for the first 1500 miles. Then things started going sideways. My car has been at the dealer for over 65 days with no timetable for a repair in sight. Transmission on the vehicle was damaged by a defective driveshaft, or an improperly installed one (dealership hasn’t been helpful). So I’ll review what I liked and didn’t prior to the car being out of service. PROS: Technology package: is comprehensive and easily more advanced than most other models. Space: A ton of space If you fold down the 3rd row. Ride Quality: I loved the ride on the 18” wheels and it took road imperfections with no problem. CONS: wireless phone charger: sits directly in the sun and will overheat your phone and/or blind you for a second if the sun catches your phone right. Digital Controls: A/C and heat controls are dim and very hard to see during the day. DCT Transmission: the SUV has serious problems backing up any incline, its weight makes trying to reverse up any incline a white knuckle experience as the car will attempt to roll back down the hill aggressively. 2024 seems like a test run for what will most likely be a great 2025 model year. I would suggest waiting for ‘25 when all the new features are refined.

I love the SUV as far as design and features. But it as too early to buy as far as them fine tuning and figuring out the issues. My car will set the emergency break on its own if too much vibration is near me. Such as a car with too much bass, or a automatic car wash. My car will get stuck in emergency brake mode and it won't release for several minutes ( I was stuck in the car wash for 30 minutes, in the middle of a busy road for over 5 minutes) . You have to shut the car off and on and repeat until it resets. My car also when reversing doesn't always go back into drive. Usually just happen in my driveway but happened in a parking lot the other day. Not good. My valet mode didn't work when I left my car at a hotel when I left town for a week. I was very unhappy. My backup camera stays on when I am driving forward. At times the backup camera will not go on.

I bought the '24 Sante Fe SEL hybrid after testing almost all competitors. Nothing came close to this vehicle. Great ride. Tons of room. Lots of safety and convenience features at a great price. I've had it for 9 months and 8000 miles. Averaging 40-41 MPG. Very happy with this car with the exception of the AC/Heat Fan control touch screen. The icons are WAY too small and VERY poorly lit. Touch screen is always covered in fingerprints and completely invisible in certain sunlight conditions. Now that it's winter I cannot make any changes while wearing gloves - extremely annoying and super distracting/unsafe. I read that Europe has banned touch screens in new cars after 2026 due to the distractions they cause. Not sure if that's true or not. I really like this car and will be the first in line to trade it in when Hyundai replaces the touch screen with usable controls like the 2023 model had.

Worst car I have ever owned

Purchased a '24 Santa FE Hybrid Calligraphy trim. Car broke down at 350 miles. Was at the dealership for 30 days. Determined that catalytic converter was faulty. Hyundai replaced and I proceeded to drive the car another 3k miles at which point it broke down yet again while I was 200 miles away from home. Engine check light came on, message to check charging system, and the car went into limp mode (i.e. will not go over 30mph). Had it towed to the nearest dealer in Wausau, WI (which was 50 miles from where I was staying). The dealer did a quick diagnostic and said no codes were appearing although I have a photo I took of the dash showing the engine and charging check lights on. The dealer could not provide a loaner or a rental, so I had to book a car with Avis out-of-pocket. I am now without a car YET AGAIN waiting for it to be transported to the Hyundai in Downers Grove, Illinois where I purchased this vehicle. I have purchased several new cars over my lifetime, and I have NEVER experienced anything quite like this. $52k for this?
