sta fe problem

[tidus1203]

Kaya always change the fuel filters during PMS anyway mura lang naman yun eh

[tzulao]

ilan na ang tinakbo ng kotse mo.. Yung sa parents ko nakalimutan palitan ang fuel filter during its 20K PMS, so I told the dealer to have it replaced during its 25K PMS... Pina replace ko na just to be sure..

so far when we expirienced this problem,our SF is already logging 38k plus kms.,.,.,so we decided to have it replaced before it reach its 40k kms,sinabay na din namin ang pms niya.,.,at 40k we have also been advised by the service personel to have our rear brakepads replaced so we did,.,.,they also told us na kelangan na rin daw palitan ang front brake pads on the next pms which is 45k.,.,.,medyo laki ng gastos sa pms but its good to know na worry free naman si SF.,.,.

normal naman siguro na mgwear na ang breakpads at this mileage no?

Depende. Kami yung Accord ko nasa 60,000 mahigit na bago ako nag palit ng brake pads...

ah.,.,maybe it always depends on how we drive,.,.,driving behaviour differs kasi,like samin 3 kami na gumagamit kay SF kaskasero pa lahat hehe

Tol Chuaa, tnx sa info, i guess factory defect ang battery naibigay sa akin, kasi according sa casa they will check the battery first and everything will follow. so for now, am observing it muna, as much as possible i dont want to bring my car there, e wala pang plaka e, binyag na ng service , nakakahiya e.kaya observe lang muna.

expirienced it in when our sf reached 1year and four months na samin,.,.3 times me nadrained ang battery.,.,first time buti may nahiraman ako na isang sasakyan owner type jeep pa un sasakyan hehe,.,.,wala kasi me series cable that time.,.,learning from the expirience bumili ako ng cable,.,after few days nadrained na naman sa parking ng mall,tried to series it dun sa car ng friend ko but it didnt work,so i brought the battey sa casa kinargahan lang nila then ok naulit and they told me na if same thing happened under pa naman ng warranty yung battery.,.,but the next day dead na naman sa carwash pa,.,kakahiya talaga kasi si SF pa naman ang pinakabago dun,,.,when i tried to series it sa other car hindi rin umubra ayaw talaga umandar,.,so i asked my brother to drop by the casa and ask for a new battery,the casa gave us new battery for free,since the warranty pala ng battery is two years,,.,. maybe in cases like this masmaganda talaga to let your dealer know and mapalitan nila agad if under pa ng warranty,.,.para hindi na makaabala,na kung saan saan ka pa tumirik,.,.,

Tsaka yung bigat din kasi ng kahat ng SF. Since mas mabigat siya kesa sa mga sedan (e.g. Accord), expected na mas madaling ma-wear-out ang sa SF.

sa Civic ko ang ODO ay over 130T Km. but changed brake pads only once at around 110T km. so yes it does seem kind of excessive or premature wear....but then again we're talking about different automobiles.....can't vouce for SFsince don't have one.........

[tidus1203]

Also automatic tranny car usually have faster brake wear. Kasi most of the time you always use the break to stop the car and also to prevent the car from creeping unlike sa manual just letting go of the gas or downshifting starts the engine brake and then the foot brake are just used to stop the car when its getting close...

Agree. It depends on the weight of the vehicle. And A/T should add more issue on this, because you're using the brake to regulate your speed. Our Starex AT had its front pads replaced at 35KKm.

i think i should also go with these opinions,..,.,kasi in our 99'Lynx which is also A/T napakabilis din ng pad wears in its front.,,i think 8mos. sobra nipis na agad.,.,,buti pa SF atleast it reached 40k,.,.,

Yeh its true. Masyado lang kayong over acting. Knocking sound pa lang yan. Which car or vehicle for that matter ang walang problem. I mean 100% problem free. Walang ganun. And I guess for every 150 units that will come out of the plant, at least one will be lemon.

Try to search the internet with most of the problems of Santa Fe sa US and you will see most of it are tranny problems....opppsss sa all wheel drive lang yun. Ni-nerbious na naman kayo.
