RECALL: 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe

[tiboyx3m]

The date of the recall was August of 2006. Remedies were made. It's very clear. US has strict regulations in car safety AFAIK. I don't believe the car dealers in the Philippines are lacking in that department either. This was a serious issue but it was reported to NHTSA. Again, no units were sold untill the problem was remedied. Are we saying the report was false? That the remedy was bogus? Are we suggesting SF sold in the Philippines might ignite all of a sudden? IS it just paranoia? Or, are we looking for skeletons?
In other car makes, their were flaws too. Its not worth mentioning anymore so as not to offend others. But as long as car manufacturers address the issues and defects, then I don't see why those are not great rides. At least AFAIK, SF passed US and Europe standards and are selling. We do not manufacture cars here, they are delivered to us. So, I would assume that Korean cars assembled there are low quality? Let's be reasonable,. Smoke doesn't always indicate fire. Nuff said. Peace be with you.

dami ata defensive dito ah, relax lang kayo sasakyan lang yan

anyway totoo naman walang perfect na car, and there are even cars na mas malala pa sa supposedly recall na to. D4D and trooper crdi for instance hehe

[Horsepower]

DI naman defensive, just straightening up. hehehe

Kasi it's a non-issue already. all 139 affected units were not sold to customers and fixed at dealerships pa lang.

So why bother?

Sir, sa tingin ko po ay takot lang ang hyundai sa ibang countries kasi malaki po ata ang penalty pati very strick po kasi safety dun. sa atin po kasi utimong jeepney walang seatbelt wlang kasafety safety... sa ibang bansa baka maband pa sila dahil dun at potential na fatal pa yun.

Paki clarify lang po. Ibig mo bang sabihin pag ginawa sa planta ng korea ang kotse pang export nila sa pinas e binababaan ang quality? Kasi hindi sila takot sa atin? Hyundai lang ba tinutukoy mo o kasali na rin pati Japanese brand? Sabagay, sabi mo nga, sa tingin mo lang. Pero hindi naman siguro ganun pre.
So, anu na next option mo kung hindi mo na type ang SF? Yung sa tingin mo e, walang defect na sasakyan.

if you will check closely most of the recalls are for the gen1 SF and if you check the date of the 2007 recall it is for August 2006 which means na ayos na nila yan...

as i've always been saying there is no perfect car but i respect and admire companies that will publish recalls and make the necessary corrections, unlike other companies that will just deny there is a problem until something major erupts...

+1 You took the words out of my mouth.

the problem dito sa pinas is that dealers will not admit and play a deaf ears to such recalls. they will either say that hindi kasama ang mga unit dito sa pinas or walang advise and main office about such recall or technical service bulletin (TSB).
Our car industry has not reached the level of concern as in other country like US. sales lang talaga ang may concern. the SF issue is not an isolated one. just to share with you, a TSB of a certain unit was issued sa US and Canada. I got in touch with the local corporation dito to ask about this since ang unit issued dito also came from the same plant, CKD unit from japan. the response was hindi daw kasama ang mga unit dito sa pinas inspite of the fact that you experience the same condition as stated sa TSB. The reason they gave is not just totally convincing ( iba daw kasi ang catalytic converter yun unit dito sa pinas kaya hindi kasama sa TSB). i have ask for an official statement from them but until now wala pa (three months to be exact). its quite hard really to deal with car manufacturer. ok sila habang bibili ka pa lang to the extend that even the VP kakausapin and entertain ka but after bumili ka na, iba na ang situation.

MERRY CHRISTMAS SA LAHAT NA TSIKOTEERS

Tama po kayo dyan sir. Mahigpit po talaga sa ibang countries compared dito. Puro benta lang talaga sila pero kapag complaints na ang hirap nila kausapin.

isa pa po, kung mahigpit sila sa mga recall dito, e bakit po yung kalawang sa Starex po ng dad ko e pabalik balik. ganun din po ang sakit ng ibang starex ng kaibigan namin kahit modelo pa may bukol/ kalawang na kaagad?... Yun lang po mga sir.

dami ata defensive dito ah, relax lang kayo sasakyan lang yan

Tama po kayo dyn. relax lang po sana tayo mga sir at baka matakot na ang iba dyan magshare ng negative feedbacks nila kung mayroon man...

peace po!

Nasagot na po ito ni meldy12 itong tanong nyo. salamat po.

Di na lang po muna ako bibili sir at magaantay na muna ng bagong modelo. magtiyaga muna po ako sa x-trail ko kahit magastos sa gasolina.

Errh... since this is a recall for vehicles that were not sold here in the Philippines... why is this a sticky?
