STA FE (Gen 3)

[willyfernando]

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

My money goes to Hancars when it comes to KDM's. Their vehicle diagnostics for KDM's are better. They were one of those who successfully solved the AIRCON problems of previous KDM's of Starex models w/c some 7-8 years ago plagued owners. They have their own CASA and they are easy to deal with be it servicing or collision support.

Thanks sir for the advise. We have narrowed down our choices to two dealers. Hancars and Standout. Standout MAY give us a better discount (since three units yng kukunin, combination of Sta Fe and Starex) but all will depend on the negotiating skills.

You wont have a problem getting a good deal since you will be getting multiple units. Problem is if they have all the units you need.

anyone knows how long is the waiting period for battery replacement under warranty sa casa?

[ACarEnthusiast]

When the AC Delco battery of our Cruze died just barely 9 months the Casa replaced it a few days afterward. It may depend on stock availability.

I-unclip mo Sir yung existing wiper blades mo then pagtabihin mo dun sa bago. Bukod sa pantay dapat ang haba, magkapantay din dapat exactly yung slot for the clip.

Kung hindi naman sukat you can return or have them replaced.

I'm using these:



Bought these from Concorde at SM Megamall, a bit pricey but I'm satisfied with the performance. OEM sizes are 26" on the driver side and 14" on the passenger side. If you'll use 24" on the driver side, use 16" on the passenger side.

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:

Finally had the time to bring my SF3 to the dealer yesterday. They replaced the driver's door lock handle under warranty. The job lasted for 1.5 hours.

Does anyone know the purpose of that little blue light near the ceiling light switch in the first row? I can't find it in the manual and my SA is equally clueless. I suppose it's an indicator for something but not sure what exactly.

[ACarEnthusiast]

I think what your referring to is the bluetooth microphone indicator light. I use it occasionally when using my mobile phone and driving alone at the same time. According to my SA it is default turned on all the time.

Hello Santa Fe owners, I'm planning to buy a santa fe this month and already checked a couple of dealerships and all gave me the same offer of 40k discount + the regular registration and freebies. Wondering if you know of a better offer and which branch? Purchase will be via bank loan or P.O.

Thanks in advance po sa inputs

[JR318]

Im going to purchase one this month too. I inquired from 6 dealers and they have the same discount and freebies. I choosed the navigation system instead of the 40k discount from the srp,Im planning to change the cloth seats to leather seats too. Ive already made my reservation at leatherplus. One of my concern is the water leak problem of SF3 sana talagang wala ng prob ang 2014 model nila

Bought mine a couple of months ago from Hyundai North EDSA, via PO as well. Aside from the regular freebies, I got 20K discount and an upgraded HU (AVT with rear back-up camera). That's what I asked for so I'm satisfied with the deal.
