2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
Engine not specified
| Hyundai Santa Fe Sport in Brunei Darussalam Apr 2016 - Dec 2022 | |||
| Nov 201735960 mi$350 | Car was coughing a few times during early morning engine starts. It was coincidentally due for an oil/oil filter change. It was found that the fuel filter was (diesel) fuel filter element was clogged although it only due for change in the next 10000kms. As a precaution, the dealer also check the fuel tank and found water and dirt inside the fuel tank. The dirt also contaminated the fuel pump strainer. Fuel tank and fuel strainer was cleaned - previous fuel tank content (which was full) was discarded. Fuel filter replaced. | ||
| Sep 201848980 mi | Car was intermittently making a loud clunking noise (observed to be coming from rear axle drive) when reversing and/or when making a rapid acceleration from a full stop. When loud clunking noise was observed, car seems to hesitate to move or accelerate (momentarily - about 1 second hesitation) simultaneously before it continue moving or accelerating. Took car to dealer for diagnosis - dealer found rear axle was prone to jamming (momentarily) intermittently. As car was still under warranty, the required parts needed to be ordered from Hyundai in Korea because the local authorized dealer does not keep stock on items like the rear axle drive. Dealer gave an estimate that the parts will arrive in 3 months or so. In the meantime, dealer told me that the car can be driven but with great care until rear axle drive is replaced | ||
| Jan 201957350 mi | The car was producing loud knocking "bangs" when starting from a standstill at least a few times. When it does this it seems to hesitate/jolting to move but only momentarily (i.e. less than a second) especially when executing rapid acceleration when exiting out of junctions. Dealer found out that the transfer gear teething (both male and female connections) in the transfer box for both front and rear axle were were gone. The car can still run but the rear wheel drive was not functioning under any driving conditions. Dealer ordered the required parts in Aug 2018 (from Hyundai Korea) only to arrive in Jan 2019. The car was still driveable utilising front wheel drive only. Offending parts were wholly replaced and also including its associated bearings, seals, hydraulic actuators - all covered under original warranty. Apparently this is a known problem for Santa Fe's with AWD. A full wheel alignment (including adjustment of caster and camber parameters) was done as the whole front chassis mounting had to be removed and detached from the vehicle and the engine had to be "hanged" and supported during the repair. Info shared by the dealer, if this repair was made outside warranty coverage it would cost the vehicle owner roughly B$4.5 - 5k including labour. Original vehicle warranty just expired end of March 2019. | ||
| Oct 201973346 mi$220 | The car warning light - "Water in Fuel Tank" illuminated. When it does this, the car goes in safe mode and limp at a maximum of 100km/h and with almost no acceleration. Dealer detached the fuel tank from the car and found evidence of water in the fuel which triggered the warning. The (diesel) fuel tank was thoroughly cleaned. As a precaution, the dealer also replaced the water sensor (in the fuel tank) and the fuel filter. A/C is intermittently warm and cold especially during a hot day. Took the car to an A/C specialist shop - the gas refrigerant was found to still full. The A/C specialist mechanic concluded (from experience) that (normally after 4 years) the A/C bottle (i.e. dryer) and the expansion valve would need replacement if it exhibits this kind of anomaly. Both items were replaced and no further problems with cooling were encountered - repair costs included refilling the A/C system with new refrigerant. | ||
| Jan 202084320 mi$100 | Front Right Brake Slightly Jammed i.e. did not return to its neutral position after braking. This resulted in the brake juddering because of the rotors producing a lot of heat. It was found that one of the two-piston covers was torn. This in-turn resulted in water contaminating the piston with the offending torn cover. Piston covers and seals for both pistons were replaced. Both front brakes - fluid were bled off. | ||
| Oct 202097960 mi$520 | Car A/c making odd smells when A/c is switched on when the engine is running. Found A/c gas leaking from the cooling coil. Part replaced. | ||
| Nov 2020103540 mi$33 | Front brake pads replaced | ||
| Nov 2022138260 mi$235 | Replaced carbon brushes of alternator and fan belt Battery charging light illuminated on the dashboard. Found fuse has melted. Replaced the fuse on the positive terminal of the battery. | ||
| Dec 2022137640 mi$340 | Replaced engine starter motor Battery replaced | ||
