Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: 2017 - Shift Too Fasts To 6th (in ECO Mode)?
Jan 3, 2017
My SF Sport, Eco mode loves to shift up to 6th as fast as possible. I understand that is to give me the best possible fuel efficiency. However, when I happen to be cruising at 70 kmh, the RPM is roughly around 1350 and feels very sluggish - almost like it's too low. I will often shift down to 5th manually at which point, it "sounds" right and the sluggishness goes away. Is there a mechanism to reprogram the gears (my Hyundai dealer?)

I hope I'm just missing a switch (and I did check the owner's manual but found nothing). Picked up a 2017 Santa Fe 2.0T SE AWD today. Traded in my 2013 2.0T AWD which I drove for 148,000 kms without a single problem. Not the case so far with the newbie. Took it out tonight and although I had the dash brightness set to max all that was lit up was the touchscreen radio/phone screen and the screen where the temperature displays. No buttons were lit up like they would have been in the 2013 or like they are in my daughter's Elantra GLS. Is there a setting or switch I need to adjust? Or is it more likely a fuse? Or even a wiring/sensor issue?

Is it possible to run your DRLs all the time regardless if its day or night?

Where the Day / Night light sensor is located on the 2017 SFS? I am looking for more control regarding the brightness of the dashboard illumination.

Picked up my new sport today and when I got home I noticed the vehicle wouldn't lock correctly with the key fob. After messing around for a few here's what I found. It's the passenger door. If the passenger door is shut the key fob and lock/unlock switch will not lock and unlock the door. I can only unlock the door manually.
Now, if the passenger door is open the key fob and lock/unlock switch will lock and unlock the door. All other doors work as expected.

My previous cars with adaptive cruise control didn't do this, but when the vehicle brakes itself, there is a very loud click. I'm assuming it's normal operation, but figured I'd ask here anyways.

Winter is coming and I often leave the car running in the morning when stopping a few minutes to drop off the kids, etc. (otherwise it all fogs up and I need to wait a few minutes again before I can leave).
Issue is, when the santa fe engine is running, if I close the door, the car beeps for like 5 seconds, every time I close a door. (Close my door, beepppp, get the kid, beeeeeepppppp, get the bag, beeeepppppppppp) and then, I cant lock the doors so I have to leave the car unlocked after it has beeped 3x 5 seconds to alert anyone around that the doors are unlocked and that it's still running.
Hyundai is supposed to install my remote starter next week, which at least will fix the issue of being unable to leave the car running with the doors locked, but the beeping all the time is REALLY ANNOYING. I KNOW THAT MY CAR IS STILL RUNNING. Dealer is telling me they cant disable the beep.

Purchased a 2017 santa fe sport limited back in april 2016.
It's been great but since day one the front and rear driver side doors have retained water after rain/snow.
When I open the doors, water just gushes out from the door panel holes along the door, and it's now become an issue because of winter.
The water freezes and door become hard to open, as well as the added weight to the door and condensation that may end up rusting parts...
My dealer took the car for 3 days and took it apart, but said they couldn't find out why water is being retained, and only released when I open the doors...
I'm not too sure what to do, Hyundai Canada denies the issue, and I do have lots of video footage and frozen pictures...

Many of us HATE the fact that if the accelerator is unintentionally pressed too hard, putting the Plug-in into the Power range and thus HV mode, it stays in the HV mode wasting gas until the engine heats up.
Some of us at the next light, will power off the car, and then Restart it, to get it out of HV and back to EV.
We've asked for a way to get it out of this "Accidental HV mode". Can the Prime be switched out of "Accidental HV mode"?

2013 SF Sport 2.0T .....
Recently found that trunk area light will not turn ON when you open hatch (in DOOR mode). First I thought bulb is burned out ,but I can manually turn it ON and it will stay ON always or until I switch it to OFF. No recent hits/bump on hatch or any warning lights on dashboard that hatch is not closed. Alarm locks hatch and the rest of the locks OK.

I have a Korean spec 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2L R-eVGT 6AT 4WD. Around a year ago it started to go into limp mode i had it checked and the error code was p0488 (EGR) Throttle Control Circuit A Range / Performance.
It has gradually become more frequent to the extent it goes into limp mode within a a minute or so . so far the dealer has changed the EGR valve, TCM , the whole turbo assembly and it is no different. They have also stripped and cleaned the intake manifold and egr cooler.

I've looked through all the settings on both the phone and the car and can't seem to find anything. My phone is connected to the Bluetooth system and I am able to use it fine. Only issue I have is that when I get in the car my phone automatically turns to vibrate mode if I get a call or text even though I have it set to "Loud". This is fine for a call because the radio will stop and the ringing notification turns on but not fine for when I am receiving a text. I do not hear the vibration and no sound comes from the car to notify me on an incoming text. Can this be changed to have the phone make normal notification noises even though I am in the car?

'17 Ultima has the "New Stero" syndrome... 300km and when I got home today turning if off resulted in ACC instead with message to Shift to P.
Still at the dealer. Can't figure it out... Everything, well almost everything I guess, says it's in Park. Swapping parts is next.
At least it was still doing it when I got to the dealer. I just hope they find the offending component and that it doesn't turn into a 'self-healer', waiting to do it again. Dealer says first time they have encountered it...

Is there a way to switch the down and up shift in "M" mode. ( backwards for up shifts and forwards for downshifts).

I was once the proud owner of a 2006 Prius with 106,716 miles on it. Never missed a regularly scheduled service. Now, I am no longer proud, but just another owner of a Prius with a failed transaxle.
Last week, I parked my car on my way to work and, while the car was idling in park, the Triangle of Death (red with exlamation mark within) came up on the dashboard. The car went into limp mode -- it was unable to shift into drive or reverse -- so I had it towed to Darcars in Silver Spring, MD. They thought the original 12v battery was dead, so they replaced it.
P0AA6 -- 526 and 613 codes 600 miles after Transaxle Fluid Replacement...

Should we go to a transmission specialist or a regular shop for our issue? 2006 Kia Sedona - won't shift into reverse suddenly and is in "limp" mode, only staying in 3rd gear.
My concerns are primarily getting it done correctly and as cheaply as possible. I've read that the issue could be an input or output solenoid or maybe having to get a full on re manufactured transmission instead. But the consensus appears to be having it properly diagnosed.
So my question is, will the local shop around the corner who is pretty good with most repairs be able to properly deal with this? Or am I better off skipping them and going to the specialist?

My 1990 Honda Accord is stuck in "sport", and won't shift past second gear. The button isn't stuck, but the "S" light stays on.

Got in the car today and moved the gear selector into the manual shift mode. Usually there is no play forwards or backwards. Today there was about 3/8 of an inch travel forward before the spring tension started. I'm taking the car in tomorrow to have the console latch replaced but was wondering why encountered this anomaly in the shift mechanism?

Is there to keep the car on an particular mode all the time? I prefer driving on Sport mode but everytime I restart the car; it defaults to normal mode.

I am having my Prius 2013 for a couple of weeks . what would happen if I'm in EV mode and need to accelerate (through an intersection for example) but the engine doesn't start ?

So in one of the owner's manuals, Lexus states that use of EV mode does NOT increase overall mileage. I was surprised by that. If this is the case why have it? I have been using EV mode after I get off the freeway and drive a couple of miles through our subdivision. I deplete the battery almost completely (2 bars) but make it into the garage. Will this damage the traction battery and should this not improve the mileage. The engine runs in the morning anyway to warm up and the battery charges up then. I am just wondering how others use the EV mode.
