2003 Hyundai Santa Fe Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

The car always has starter issues, alignment is always off. Loud engine sounds and squeaky rotation when driving. Car gets louder when the air conditioning is on. The features are out of date and CD player no longer works. There is no AUX you have to purchase a Bluetooth player if you want to play music.

Rack and pinion and power steering is bad. There is also no ac and poor gas mileage. I do like how there is so much room.

I recently bought it used, and it has needed a thousand dollars worth of repairs just to simply get it back on the road again. The check engine light has come back on again, and I think it will probably cost me another thousand to fix whatever's wrong under the hood. I bought this vehicle as I was told that my Ford was going to cost more to fix than it was worth. Honestly, I think I should have stuck with the Ford. I would already have a completely fixed, safe vehicle for less than I've spent on the Santa Fe to repair it and purchase it second hand.

I have an 03 hyundai santa fe, luxury version including leather interior and sunroof, and heated seats. The main problem is the converters

My Santa Fe has been a nice car. Unfortunately when it hit 103,000 miles iv had nothing but trouble out of it. From the window motor going out to the air conditioner crashing, alternator when out..All within about 2 months..It is cost me more to fix it than the trade in value of the car is worth. At this point I just decided to run it until it just stops but I was pretty disappointed seeing as the warranty goes out at 100,000 or 10 years.

I love that I can carry a lot of passengers and haul things. However, most are f my day to day activities don't need those things. It has some kick in the engine and it has done well for years. It is old enough that it needs some maintenance and I go without some perks, like AC.

Great storage space. Has a bad grind with somewhere and no one can find it is it has a kill switch. It does not go over 20 mph right now. Doing an oil change on it is annoying because you have to take the skid plate off. It has comfortable seats. I like the 6 CD changer.

The Santa Fe I got was a hand me down from my uncle. I was ok since I didn't have a car at the time. This car is pretty decent and has a medium size trunk and space to hold five people. The tires my vehicle had horrible traction on wet street markings, grass and dirt.
