STA FE (Gen 3)

[KingReyes]

Not a sta fe owner. With regards to question 3, nabasa ko sa manual ng car namin na pag nasa sloping terrain, pull the hand brake first before shifting to P. Pag aalis ka na, shift to R or D first before releasing of hand brake

Thanks for the input Sir. However I do practice that with my Santa Fe's parking brakes as well. Medyo kakaiba lang talaga kapag on sloping ground.

Brought my SF to the dealer last Wednesday. They said the door lock handle button is busted and they will file for replacement under warranty. They'll inform me once the warranty is approved. In the meantime, I took the unit home while waiting for their call.

Upon googling, I noted that there are similar issues with Canadian & USDM SF units but the dealers there replace the door lock actuators and not the door lock handle. :confused:

You might want to tell them also about your research results Sir. Based on experience, our dealerships here do not proactively go the extra mile of finding out the root cause of problems we report to them so letting them know might help with the resolution.

For example, when I was scouting for a good deal before purchasing my vehicle, I asked them about the leak issue in the SF3. I can say wala talaga silang idea about it. The good thing though, humingi silang links to articles about the problem para daw well-informed din sila.

Kahit sa starex ganyan. May nag lock ata sa gears nyan.

Meanwhile, here are some observations I have on my unit. I'll have the following addressed during my 1K PMS probably next week.

1. Front passenger headrest is more tilted downward compared to the driver's headrest. Not sure if this is standard.
2. One missing rubber bumper under the hood. This should be easy and inexpensive to replace but I'll have them deal with it nonetheless.
3. Sometimes, extra force is needed when shifting from P to R. I notice this when parking on sloping terrain. Could be caused by the brakes still bedding in maybe?

With regards Sa #3, all automatics are like that, specially when parked on inclines and the hand brake/foot brake isn't properly engaged or have trouble holding the vehicle. The "Park" acts as a wheel chock, same thing as putting stones behind the wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling.

Odd because our AT Montero does not have the same behavior on the same parking areas I experience this with my SF. If all ATs are like that, may swerteng "defect" siguro yung Montero namin.

What I do now as a "workaround" when parking on inclined surfaces: Shift from D or R to N first, engage the parking brakes, then shift from N to P. I only do this on slight inclines though. If the terrain is really sloping, I engage the parking brakes then go straight from D or R to P (but I'll encounter my issue again before leaving the parking space). All this when stepping on the foot brake of course.

Ibig sabihin Sir kaya ganon kasi bago pa lang yung mechanism ng brakes? Sabi kasi sa casa ganon daw talaga kaya obserbahan ko muna.

[KingReyes]

I'm selling the following SF3 accessories pala. Baka matulungan nyo ako presyuhan sila.

1. Original head unit of the 4X2 AT
Condition: Brand new
RFS: My casa upgraded the head unit of my vehicle for free; pina-install ko na yung upgrade bago ko kunin yung sasakyan kaya never pa nagamit yung original.

2. Smoked window visors, six pieces
Condition: Brand new
RFS: I also got this free from the casa; not a fan of window visors kaya ayoko ikabit.
Note: For aesthetics lang yung dalawang piraso kasi hindi naman nabubuksan ang quarter panels. Kaya lang sila kasama para magmukang buo yung visor from the front window hanggang likod.

When I checked HARI's website for the SF3, I noticed that my 18" wheels are different compared to what's posted there.

Honestly, I like what I have better but am wondering what's with the discrepancy.

Also, the side mirrors are different on the 4x2 2014 models

How different Sir?

Good day to all !

I need your opinion/advise on this matter.

I've been assigned to look for our company's service vehicles and they specifically mentioned KDM semi-limo (choosy peeps :P). The company will be purchasing 3 units.

Which among the grey market dealers have the most updated models of that kind? They want the one similar to the thai model (pop-up TV) but I believe that such option is not available anymore. Pictures and links would be very much appreciated.

TIA

The 2014 model led light on the side mirror is straight like the grand sta fe unlike the previous ones the light is slanted upward. I have yet to see in actual the new mags though. It was mentioned previously in the sta fe club FB.

Are you referring to the Starex? I believe last time I saw one like that is at Hancars. Not sure about Pitstop and Eurostandard. Pero Eurostandard and Hancars have updated FB Pages do check them out.

Eurostandard pinakamura as of last year. Ewan ko kung sino na pinakamura ngayon

[Balikpinoy]

Try to visit all three and take note of each model and options. Same area lang naman Hancars, Pitstop and Eurostandard.

Thanks Sir. Proves that I do have the 2014 model indeed. Nung pumipili kasi ako ng dealer before may mga SA na nagsisiraan, saying old unit siguro ibibigay sa akin nung kabila kaya masmaganda binibigay na freebies.

Anyway, I posted a picture of one of my wheels above if you want to see.

[ACarEnthusiast]

They are actually nice. Saw another unit the other day sa FB with the same mags. I thought they were mods. Nice catch.

WATDA !!! Sorry for the error in the post. I was very sleepy when posting this. I forgot to mention that the company was also considering the KDM Grand Sta Fe. Either the 6 or 7 seater model.

Any suggestions/recommendations are welcome.

TIA
