sta fe problem

[DragonHeart]

All cars will have 1 or more defects, whether malaki or maliit na sira, within the first year. Some you can live by without fixing, some you can't. Bakit ka naman matatakot agad sa isang isolated case ng Sta. Fe considering na 5 yrs na ang warranty nito? Kung ang Ferrari nga e biglang nasusunog sa daan e

Lahat ng cars kahit na anung brand ay may mga defects yan, but remember if someone experiences a problem it does not mean that you will experience the same problem to unless may defect yung batch ng pyesa na ginawa.

Looking through this thread we should not look at the negative which is baka may problem ang SF. We should look at the possitive, the dealer is willing and doing everything they can to fix the problem. I've had problems getting my rides before fixed under warranty ang daming ekek. For me I see this situation as good news that Hyundai is standing by their warranty.

I blame the casa peeps imo.

mahirap nga yan bro! in my experience, hindi mo talaga maaasahan ang gawa sa casa lalo na kapag hindi mo mababantayan. got my ride serviced by mitsubishi before (changed belts and brakepads) pagkuha ko meron sunog yun cover ng timing belt (mukhang pinatungan ng yosi or something)

ang nakakainis dito eh mahal na nga sumingil, hindi pa maingat. And their troubleshooting skills are so by the book.

Had this experience once with a suzuki mechanic for my bike, langya gusto darin yun tangke at linisin yun fuel lines then linisin yun carbs! (mahina kasi humatak yun mc) so i told him that he should replace first yun diagphram. tatagal kasi at matatapon ba yun gas ko kung susundin namin yun gusto nya. ayun ng mapalitan eh naging ok na ang tunog and ride nung mc and the mechanic admitted na hindi nya alam yun at may bago daw sya natutunan hehehe!!!

trusted mechanics ay hindi rin ganun ka-reliable since I also have some experience with them na minsan hindi masikip yun pagkakabalik ng turnilyo. Pinakamaganda nyan eh baklas talaga lahat ng parts near the katok "sound" and look for the "damaged" part mahirap kasi yan at mukhang nanghuhula na lang kayo kung saan yun sira.

[BlueBimmer]

baka di rin ganun ka experience ang casa mechanics sa sta fe dahil bago pa..

[hot_chick27]

same experience sa mitsu....di nila iniingatan.

Not all casa have bad service or bad mechanics. In my experience once I find a dealer and an service advisor na ok I always bring my ride to him for service. Pag absent sya my car does not get serviced, very particular ako who handles my ride. I've done this with my lancer, and then my civic so far all my rides had good service.

It's all a matter of finding the right casa and the right service advisor who can help you.

this is another case of incompetent casa mechanic ... unfortunately, there are lots of them around

Thread starter mentioned earlier na 2006 model so it is the Gen2 SF nga
Talagang nagyayari yung ganyan, kahit Toyota nga ay may flaw din sa mga parts nila. Two months pa lang yung altis ko ay nag-fail na yung ABS sensor nya. Since it was under warranty then, it was investigated thoroughly and replaced the faulty ABS sensor.
So far wala naman akong bad suspension experience w/ my SF.

[Horsepower]

Haven't had that. Try bringing it to Hyundai C5 or Fort.

Hindi lang incompetence sa casa, meron din magnanakaw. Dati nag paservice ako honda pasig, pag uwi ko wala na yung cover ng speaker sa front door. Nung nireklamo ko sabi dapat bago inilabas sinabi ko na, e siempre di ko naman napansin. ANg masakit walang nabibiling takip kelangan buong siding, nakupo. OT na

Hahaha...same experience w/ Honda Alabang. Pati barya-barya at sigarilyo, pinipitik pa

[washburn]

isolated case nga yan better na patawag nyo na sa HARI people yan para macontact
nila ang mga korean tech, sa casa kasi mukang di rin ganun ka laki ang knowledge nila sa santa fe e, bago pa kasi e,
Ok din to kasi rerecord nila tong defect para sa future reference nila kung may nagkaparehas na problem

[Innova_Boy]

yes since its a barel new car, they are still not well versed with what might causing the knocking sound... it's lawys trial and error in fixing things like this..

WBR,

[nels76]

Well sana nga isolated lang yan and di ma-experience ng iba.

Sana maayos na ung SF ni Sir chi827.

[oldblue]

hyundai commonwealth. in fairness to them inaasikaso naman hindi lang nila mahanap ang problema. knocking sound is on the left side only and malakas talaga. i think it really is a suspension problem thats similar to the knocking sound of the early starex models suspension. Parang mahina yata pang ilalim ng sta fe. if only this problem would be fixed, the sta fe is a damn good vehicle!

mukang mahina talaga pang-ilalim ng sta fe. incomparable to our Ford Explorer or even Honda CRV. iba talaga tunog nya pag nalulubak eh parang may masisira kagad 3 years from now. what can we expect, the Sta Fe is built for the developed countries like Europe and US. duon taken for granted na ang good roads, di tulad dito sa Pilipinas "extraordinary" talaga ang roads, as in one of kind

so to those planning to buy a Sta Fe pero gusto nyo na talaga rugged SUV better get the Fortuner or Alterra or CRV. para na din mabawas-bawasan sta fe sa kalsada, nawawala exclusivity namin eh

[quote=chi827;886527]My sta fe is a 2007 model which i got october of last year! It has a rythmic knocking sound which increases as the roads get rough. They have changed two front shocks and last i heard they will be replacing the suspension arm. The dealer admits there is really a problem they are just finding a hard time fixing it.


Sir enlighten me please.....you said in your 1st post that knocking sound problem is in the left front side? i wonder why would they replaced both shocks even if its not busted.Who are the person you are dealing in Commonwelth casa re this problem(dealer rep/mechanic)

[pakupakupaku]

Maybe we can recommend a good casa for him, some mechanics have a good instinct(its not on the manual) in dealing with this kind of "new" problem. Sadly i dont have any experience with hyudai casa's coz i dont have one T_T.

[chi827]

Thanks sa mga concerns ninyo. Actually HARI is aware of the problem already they were the ones who were directing the hyundai commonwealth people on what to do. First to be be done was to put dampers on the springs didnt work. Second they had to replace some suspension bushings didnt solve it either. Next they adjusted the pre load settings on the rack and pinion wala pa din. Last to be done was to change both shocks didnt work still. According to the casa people pair daw palit talaga ng shocks. A friend of mine suggested to talk to Hari executives and relay to them the problem baka daw kasi hindi masyado iniintindi ng mga tauhan nila. My friends even suggested na iwanan ko na sa Hyundai ang santa fe and request for a service car until ma rectify nila ang problem. Do you think this is too much to ask for? Again thanks for your concern. Btw i have a 2005 toyota previa with 53t kms never experienced any problem that i have now with my santa fe.

As I have made up my mind to buy an SF for my wife this month suddenly, some eleventh hour tale of woes just sprang up. I told my wife to do a test drive and she did. What she observed on the negative side was that there is some kind of "lumalagabug" sound in the rear part of the vehicle kapag na lubak or passing by a crack on a concrete road. She seemed so overwhelmed with the car's positive attributes except this lumalagabug sound. She asked the SA why the loud thund and she was told that it is just normal as the tire pressure may be a bit higher than normal. This, however doesn't convince me. Ok granted, so may I address this question to SF owners, at what optimum tire pressure in the rear it should be na ma suppress ang sound kapag nalubak or in case I have to go for it, do I have to replace it with another tyre kasi baka naman ang stock is not really that good.

[BlueBimmer]

stock tires are Kumho..baka 35+ psi tire pressure ng showroom units?
