[BlueBimmer]

nonsense nanaman, OB ikaw ba yan? :bwahaha:

i'd like to quote ghosthunter's post sa bbc regarding OB..

Kindness has its limits. You have ceased to be funny a lot time ago. You are now just annoying or pathetic. Sometimes even both.

:rofl01:

Minero: All of the 139 units affected are in USA (made in USA as well), as the recall states, none were sold to customers.

thanks HP!!!

[SIZE=3]Hello everyone! Like what I’ve said, the purpose of this thread is just for the safety of all the owners of Santa Fe out there.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]I don’t care what other people say as long as I know that what I’m doing is right for the all the viewers of this Thread. (Make them aware and verify with dealers if the problem is still present with their units)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]For me, a good car will remain good even if other people criticize it.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Peace to everyone! Happy New Year![/SIZE]

We aren't arguing that you have no right to post this information. Indeed, it's good to be informed.

The debate is whether or not this should be a sticky.

A thread is stickied if the problem is major enough to warrant concern for local consumers. Such has happened with the thread about Toyota D4D problems, which has affected dozens of buyers of Toyota Diesels, both on tsikot and out in the real world.

That's also the case with the Honda Civic cam position sensor problems and the Innova rear driveshaft recall, which directly affect Filipino consumers.

There is no sticky, however, regarding CRV fires... there is a recall defect on US CRVs which cause them to catch fire due to a mis-specced oil filter.

There is also numerous Toyota recalls in the US, which, though people post them here... are NOT stickied, because they have absolutely nothing to do with local Toyota owners.

Now, if this thread were about Hyundai Starex aircon problems or transmission problems, it would deserve to be a sticky.

The recalls listed in your links refer to the previous generation Santa Fe, which was never sold here.

The other recall pertains to 2006 Santa Fes built in the US only. Also not sold here... and, as stated, none of the affected units were sold to customers.

Neither of these recalls affect current or future owners of Santa Fes in the Philippines. Not at all.

Thus, this thread doesn't need to be stickied. The fact that it still is is quite perplexing to me.

guys let's just take this positively, atleast aware tayo sa maaring maging problem/s ng SF at mapaghandaan.

belated happy new year!

re. sticky, dapat sa mods itanong yan

Well, making this thread still open or even making it a sticky is very misleading to potential Santa Fe buyers who might think that there's a REAL recall for units being sold here.

How many people have just seen the title of this thread without opening the links posted and reading carefully (as what Horsepower did)?

The said recall was made over a year ago.

I did too. But, the motive of the thread starter seemed more important. I felt if the thread starter really wanted to do a good deed, then he should've posted recalls for other makes as well. Singling out the Santa Fe made it seem like he has an ax to grind.

If he does have an ax to grind, then just come out in the open and say it. Most cars have faults. No need to be underhanded about it.
