A great SUV for under 22 thousand
Absolutely nothing. Everything is running smoothly.
This SUV has been a joy to ride since the day I bought it. The V6 has power and great performance. I recommend it for people who are looking for a Ford Explorer or a Toyota Highlander. Just one thing, I really think they should have put a sun roof.

My dream car!!
1 1/2 weeks into ownership the CD player went wacko. I was in the middle of listening to a CD and it would just start and stop on its own. I changed to another CD thinking that one had some problems. Well halfway into the first song of the 2nd CD, the player just spat out the CD. The green "CD in" light stayed on and the CD motor kept running. This continued even after I turned the car off and took out the key.
I called the dealership and was able to bring it in the next day. They disconnected the CD part from the radio. They had to order a new CD play/radio, which took about a week and then they replaced it.
I love my Santa Fe. I get so many comments while either I am at the grocery store, the bank, the library, and even in my own driveway while I'm washing it. I have the Pine Green color, which is a "rare bird", but that's what I had to have. It's AWESOME!!
Handles great!
Great value for what you get.

The Hyundai Santa Fe exceeds my expectations every day
The only service required so far was the CD player. It would not eject a played CD, and then, suddenly released it the next day when the ignition was turned on. The dealership replaced it promptly and cheerfully.
I am very satisfied with the performance, gas mileage, ride, and handling of my new Santa Fe.

Good for Hyunday -- unlike Opel/Vauxhall (see my comment on the Zafira/Vectra/Frontera Engine Control Unit fault), they seem capable of solving the problems they create: the 2003 Santa Fés -- as sold in Spain in September 2003 -- all come with Alpine audio systems to replace their buggy ones.
An awesome price and ride!
Nothing!
This is a must have for anyone who wants a tough SUV!!! I LOVE IT!

Awesome!
Absolutley nothing! We love, love, love this inexpensive SUV!
Heads turn every time we drive by. It looks like an expensive car. But it really is very affordable.
We are even thinking of buying another one, for his and hers.
The ride is very comfortable and is bigger than a lot of the more expensive SUV's out there.
This is a wonderful car.
So far it has been well worth our hard earned money!

I also had the same problem with my Sante Fe. I had the battery changed, the alternator changed and the computer reprogrammed three times. So far, no problems.
They did have to recenly replace the rear struts because the driver side was lower than the passenger side in the back.
I wish I would just get good gas mileage on my tank. They changed one of the floats in the gas tank and I did get almost 385 miles on a tank of gas for about one month, but now I am back to 200, 250 if I am lucky.
