| 2013 | POWER TRAIN | SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS. CAR MADE A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE AND WOULDN'T MOVE. 2 POLICEMEN PUSHED US OUT OF THE TRAFFIC AND CALLED AAA. WE WERE TOWED TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER (WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED). CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 22 DAYS. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE. NOT THE END OF THE PROBLEM........THE DEALER HAD A HARD TIME GETTING THE REPLACEMENT PART. FINALLY LOCATED ONE IN SO. CALIF. AND HAD IT SHIPPED 400 MILES TO CARSON CITY, NV. PART WAS REMOVED FROM ANOTHER 2013 SANTA FE. ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI, THERE ARE POTENTIALLY 50,000 VEHICLES THAT COULD BE AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. SO, SINCE OUR REPLACEMENT PART CAME OUT OF ANOTHER 2013 SANTA FE, WE ARE CONCERNED THIS MAY RE-OCCUR. WE MAY BE ONE OF THE TWO CARS MENTIONED IN THE ONLINE ARTICLE OF 7-9-13. BUT, NOT SURE IF WE ARE SO.......YOU MAY HAVE MORE THAN JUST TWO VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM SO FAR. WE WOULD LIKE TO BE KEPT INFORMED. THANK YOU. *TR |
