Apr 28, 2012
About 10 inches of the rubber around the windshield is becoming detatched. It looks really ugly and I have unsuccessfully tried to glue it with loctite...

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Noise From The Rear Offside Wheel - Handbrake Shoes Detaching
A day before 3 yr service and MOT test on 7 seat 2011 Santa Fe, a noise from the rear offside wheel. Advised the garage to check and they discover the handbrake shoes were detaching from their mountings, not wearing out but detaching. This has apparently happened before causing someone's wheel to lock up and the vehicle recovered to the garage.
Strange that the same garage has seen it before so it must be happening elsewhere.
Cross pond Translations....
handbrake=parking brake
MOT = annual government safety test
Shoes = pads / linings
Rear offside = left right rear
Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Front Suspension Squeak Noise / Rubber Bushing Is Broken
For some months, I've heard squeaking noise from passenger side suspension. Sound like it's from shock & spring on bump road.
This video sound is very similar : Squeaking Noise, Front Driver Side - YouTube ...
I looked at my suspension. and found rubber bushing is broken. Driver's side bushing is normal.
Is this noise related to the broken bushing?
Is it easy to replace the rubber by myself?
A guy said ATP AT-205 reseal will fix this noise in Youtube video. Is it true?

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Emergency Brake Engaged - Burnt Rubber Smell From Left Rear Tire
My mother-in-law moved my car and put the emergency brake on (2010 Santa Fe) when she got out. When I got into drive home, I drove about 10miles with it engaged (for some reason the light didn't indicate it was on). When I got home I noticed a burnt rubber smell from the left rear tire. (no smoke though)
Our driveaway is an incline. After engaging/disengaging the e-brake, the light started coming back on again. If I put the car in neutral and release the regular brakes, it will quickly roll back. If I put the e-brake on in netural and disengage the regular brake, it still holds fine on the hill.
I know the damage can vary, but any test or check I can do to determine the amount of damage?
Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Windshield Ejector Malfunction
When I pull the wipers lever backwards, washer fluid supply in tank lowers, but there don`t come liquid out for the jets.
The rear jets don`t spray liquid . The auto sweeping function works OK (7 times).
The only way to spray a little of liquid is pulling the lever many times at once.
I deduct that the fluid is going or evaporating somewhere, The pump makes the noise that`s working...as always.
Someone told me that ejectors are clogged, but I used a pin to clean them and some liquid spits out.
Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Front Windshield Malfunctioned
Last night my front driver side windshield wiper malfunctioned - it was operating normally then 'jumped' off of the windshield and stayed in a rested position draped over the driver's side mirror. When placed anywhere on the windshield it doesn't function.
Would this be a problem with the linkage? The passenger wiper operates normally.
Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Knocking Noise From Top Of Front Windshield
My new SANTA FE has merely covered 10000 km. The vehicle is running fine except a very irritating loud knocking noise from top of front windshield area. The noise is generated as soon as vehicle goes over a minor irregularity on road or even if you make a sharp right or left turn.

I have a 2007 Santa Fe & in the past every time the temp got below 32 my windshield wiper fluid would not come out. We put in the fluid that does not freeze. I brought it in and they just told me the nozzle had debris in it and nothing else was wrong. Next week same thing. Now when I go to put the fluid on the front windshield all I get is the wipers running & no fluid and at the same time the back wipers come on, but no fluid, which never happened before. Back wipers are separate from the front.

View 7 RepliesSanta Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Tapping At Passenger Seat Window - Windshield Gasket?
Traveling down Highway 27 yesterday in my 2007 Santa Fe, doing 65 MPH, when all of a sudden I hear a tapping at the passenger seat window. There it was, the gasket that surrounds my windshield had pulled loose and was flapping in the wind, occasionally tapping on the window.
I have never had the windshield replaced nor had any notion there was a problem. I had no tools with me but tried to force the gasket back into its place. Lasted only a couple miles.
Took it to the Hyundai dealer in Ft. Myers who proceeded to tell me they didn't do windshields and that it was not covered under the warranty. I have 44000 miles and it is a 2007. Does that seem right?
I can understand light bulbs, oil changes and things like that not being covered, but rubber gaskets around the windshield?
IS F (2008-2014) :: Rubber Seals Around Windshield Went Dry Cracked

Prius (Gen 3) :: Rushing Air Sound Coming From Narrow Gap Between Rubber And Windshield
For months I've been hearing the sound of rushing air coming from the direction of the front passenger side door. I've been trying to ignore it, but it's been getting worse. Today I noticed what appears to be a narrow gap between the rubber stripping and the front windshield near the wiper blade tip. Could that be where air is leaking in?

Having issue with an occasional whistling noise. Mine seems to happen once I get to 80km/hr(50mph) or above. Seems to be coming from the drivers side area around the side mirror or windshield frame. Being winter the windows and sunroof have been closed and it doesn't seem to be consistent so it's hard to figure out what could be causing it.

View 3 RepliesSanta FE SM (2001-06) :: Slow Start And Burning Rubber Smell
Vehicle:
01 Santa Fe LX 2.7 AWD w/112k miles
Symptoms:
- Slow Start (when cranking takes 2 full seconds before it will turn over and you can hear the engine cranking slower, use to turn over right away)
- Very Strong Burning Rubber Smell
History:
Last January it got down to -20 here in Albuquerque and I would have to go to work at that time. About a week later (when it was still getting down to about 0) I was driving home from work when I smelled a slight smell of burning rubber. I thought it was the car in front of me. The next day I had the same thing. It continued for about a month till the temps rose a bit and then went away. I could never find the cause. I then went all spring, summer, and fall without any problems on my Santa Fe.
As the temps begun to drop over the past 6 weeks we started to smell the burning rubber again, at first only when I would start the car till it warmed up. About 2 weeks ago the car started cranking slower and would take longer to turn over and within the past week I can smell the burning rubber smell even when I had the engine at temp. There's not any idiot lights on. The car is running fine except for what was mentioned, gets up to temp and stays there (a little below the middle on the gauge like normal). I pop the hood and looked at the belt, looked good (no cracks). Checked all the fluids and the only thing that's low is the coolant.
Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Rubber Bushing At The Top Of Rear Shocks Wearing Away
The rubber bushing (is it a bushing) at the top of the right rear shock on my 2002 Santa Fe is wearing away. Can I replace just that? Or do I have to do the whole shock? The shock itself seems fine.
View 2 RepliesSanta Fe (DM - 2013+) :: Burning Rubber Smell Coming Out Of Right Rear Wheel Well
Today I noticed a strong burning rubber or plastic smell coming out of the right rear wheel well. All other wheel wells did not have this odour.
We had a bout of freezing temp's here recently and some snow, I'm wondering if the brake on that wheel may have seized slightly through the all wheel drives tourque vectoring or through parking brake use.
I'm going to drive it to the dealership tomorrow without making an appointment in hopes they will look at it right away as making an appointment this time of year is probably going to take forever.
Something I might be missing or can do?
