So happy (well not) to see I am not the only one with this headlight issue. It’s driving me crazy. I live in a rural area, and it makes it very hard to see. It’s as if there is this horizon line and the light does fade into the line, it’s a sharp difference. I also brought it back to the dealer and got the same story. I am surprised I can’t find more complaints about this?

I don’t agree with the comments we have used a Toyota prado at work for about a month and it’s already been to the workshop twice once for no power and once for a rear bearing the 2 hyundai’s we have haven’t missed a beat in over 100,000 km . In my experience we have had nothing but problems with the toyotas we’ve had and this is the last Toyota our company will ever buy. Don’t forget your Hyundai cost about $40000 less than the prado

Hyundais warranty is a joke and their dealer network is an absolute farce the only problem we’ve had was a battery that was leaking acid up through the post it took us five times going back to woodleys in tamworth before they actually fixed it . However it has been a great car otherwise and towed our car trailer with car better than a mates new prado did on the same trip .but given our after sales experiences I can’t recommend the Hyundai

I bought a brand new santa fe plate rated July 2011. The first time I needed the aircon there was a rush of water on the passenger side and the aircon stopped working. I spent two hours with the mechanics who discovered that the aircon had not been installed correctly at the factory and this had blown out the fan motor. I now need to wait at least 3 weeks for another fan motor to arrive from Korea. This means that in the pouring rain I am unable to demist any of the windows in my car. This is an obvious safety issue. So despite buying brand new and trying to keep my family safe with the latest technology i am left with a vehicle that has serious visibility hazards in the wet. So, unless i want to take my children out in an unsafe vehicle I am restricted to places we can cycle or walk to. With three small children in the pouring rain this is definitely proving challenging. While I have contacted Hyundai about this issue, they have failed to provide a satisfactory response.

Enjoy the comments on the Santa Fe. I’ve had a newie for 8 months and am pleased with it although as someone previously mentioned Hyundai have put a ban on using WD Hitches for towing. I am awaiting a reply from them regarding using anti sway bars instead. I was filling up with dieso the other day and noticed that bio diesel was also available.Anyone use it in their vehicle or know of its suitability for Santa Fe’s?

The Honda would the car I am compere with Santa fe and I prefer the Santa Fe because feul and towing and money for value ,the Honda was the Top of the range about $47000 pending on extras.But the sante fe for value for money did it for me for how I was using the car plus 7 L to 100 klms manual.But in say this I did have the Prado we live on Moreton Island for 3 years and yes 9/10 did all they say,great.The Santa Fe was the bottom of the range but had many extras for the money,it second hand I did 11000 kls 2008/9 model current shape for a total of 32000 klms.This how I found over small amount of klms.
