Engine not specified
| 6000 mi | Bottom of the passenger seat plastic surround was broke upon delivery. This is the 3rd attempt to fix the problem of plastic clips breaking. Service advisor says it is how people are getting in and out of the car. I think poor design/parts. |
| 10000 mi | Replaced trim. But I have had the same problem happen again with the front passenger seat trim and seat back handle and have to make another appointment to have them see it again. |

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 4dr SUV
190-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 57040 mi | Both plastic trim pieces around the front passenger and driver seat broke yet again. The plastic or the clip design is too weak to handle people getting in or out of the vehicle and the stress snaps the press fit connectors. Passenger seat trim was replaced but the incorrect driver seat parts were ordered TWICE so that seat is still not repaired. Still waiting to hear back from the dealer. At least they are admitting the problem is with the design and even though the vehicle is out of warranty this is being fixed at no charge to us. |
| 23000 mi | Clear coat on headlights began peeling. |
| 106000 mi | Steering wheel splitting open |
