My boss bought his daughter a 2006 Sonata 3.3 V6 with around 140k miles for his daughter as a graduation present. She's had it 7 years, has been doing door dash and other deliveries and he says she's been really good about telling him when she needs an oil change, etc. The car now has 380,000 miles. The only breakdown occurred because the valve cover gasket leaked oil into the alternator. My boss says that car has been the best $3500 he's ever spent.

My mom bought her 2007 3.3 new. All these years later she says she doesn't want another car, it's been largely trouble free. Yep, that common valve cover gasket problem, the recall fix didn't work. On the 4th alternator now, I think the first 3 were reimbursed. What's interesting we also have a 2006 Sonata with the same 3.3, it doesn't have that problem. The reason for the leak is the slight tilt of the angle of the engine in Santa Fe.

^ I second that. Gen 5 sonatas (06-10’) are hidden gems. The V6 is surprisingly quick, huge trunk, nice factory audio system ($10 fm transmitter was game changing), 30mpg highway, and you can get them with 100k miles for 4-5k easily. I have an 08 that was my first car I ever bought. Has been so reliable, it’s the only car I’ve ever bought. Many years later I still see no reason to “upgrade”.

That 3.3L is probably the best motor Hyundai/Kia ever put out. I'm sure it's actually a leased/purchased design like a lot of their motors. Example. My Sorento's 3.5L motor is actually just a Mitsubishi 6G74 with a slightly taller deck to the heads. The infamously terrible Theta motors, are actually Mitsubishi 4B11's but some idiot enginerd somewhere decided to make the oil and cooling passages SMALLER. What a bright idea.

The 2.7L in the 1st Gen Santa Fes were good engines. The 2nd Gens from '07 - '09 with the 3.3L V6 are considered the best SFs built, with the '09s being the top of the list. I personally own a 2010 Limited with 169k kms and a 2011 GLS with 270k kms, both have the 3.5L V6, 6 speed auto transmissions and are AWD. I've owned the 2011 for 7 years, and the 2010 for 1 year, and I do all of my own service work, unless I require a lift. Synthetic oil changes every 5k kms and regular maintenance as required, as well as yearly undercoating and cavity wax for rust prevention. The 2nd gen Santa Fes (3.3L and 3.5L V6 models) are nowhere near as unreliable as this video suggests, however I would personally never purchase a Santa Fe newer than 2012.5. That's when they came out with the Gen 3, 4 cyl GDI turbo engines that are notorious for dying. The 2nd Gen V6s are known for oil pressure switches that leak because they're made from plastic, and when they get to a certain age, the plastic becomes brittle and the sensor leaks oil onto the engine and transmission seam, which is commonly misdiagnosed as a rear main seal engine leak. Other than that, I've done frequent brake work on the 2011 (pads and rotors), fluid changes and the normal maintenance required for a 11-12 year old, high mileage vehicle. Yes that's also included ball joints, struts and bushings, but that's all because of age and the poor condition of the roads we drive on, and not the fact that these are poorly built SUVs. I actually picked the 2011 Santa Fe over vehicles like the CR-V because for one, the 3.5L makes 276HP, tows up to 3500lbs, is bigger than all of the same vehicles in that year class, and still gets 26-28 mpg on the highway. And in my area, these SUVs hold their value, not depreciate, as suggested in this video.

@@chadhaire1711 Yes, and when you prod the complaining owners and/or do some investigation, it almost always comes down to lack of maintenance. Those early VVT engines are very sensitive to contaminated oil, so the mantra for these vehicles is "maintenance, more often is better". Sure, there's always a chance the one you buy is a lemon, but then Toyota and Honda also have lemons, it's just a fact of life. Many of the complaints on Daniel San's list are just worn-out parts and those are typical on relatively heavy vehicles with engines that are being worked very hard by owners who "want to drive them sporty".

@dtoney1182 Месяц назад
As a Hyundai tech of 6 years, a 2012 Santa Fe was the last year of the good engine. After 2013 when they went GDI, they were garbage. This body style has its issues like the transmission temp sensor that goes bad (requires transmission valve body removal to replace), rear wheel hub bearings that have to be replaced due to failed wheel speed sensors (sensors are built into the hub) and a host of electrical issues. I will say that have a 12 to 13 year old vehicle with rubber bushings will not last forever. Daniel San replacing his control arm bushings, sway bar end links & bushing plus rear trailing arm bushings starting to tear is normal wear & tear. My wife had to replace front lower control arm bushings on her 2012 Honda Accord before I ever met her. She also had to have the VTEC solenoid O-ring replaced due to oil leakage (this all occurred at 84,000 miles). Does this mean that her Honda is bad? Absolutely not, those items are wear items, they will fail over time. Same thing is happening with my brother-in-law’s 2010 Toyota Camry. He needed CV axles boots, valve cover gasket and struts because, again, these are wear items that will require replacement over time. Both Honda & Toyota are having their fair share of quality control issues that require a recall. Currently, Honda will not sell any Acura/Honda vehicle with the J-series V6 due to poor machining in the oil galleries that will cause engine failures. Toyota is recalling a host of vehicles due to failing low pressure fuel pumps that will cause the vehicle to stall. Yes, on the whole Honda & Toyota are known for their reliability but the truth is, doing a Used Car Inspection from a reputable technician is anyone’s best bet before buying a vehicle. That & researching that particular vehicle to see will the cost of ownership be more than a consumer can handle. Also, does Daniel San know the exact history of this Santa Fe? For example, the service records from the previous owner? To make a blanket statement that all Hyundai & Kia’s can’t be recommended is a bit of a stretch. I personally for one, WOULD recommend a 2007-12 Santa Fe with either the 3.3 V6 (used from 2007-2009) or the 3.5 V6 used from 2010-12 (the 4 cylinder not so much since the fuel economy isn’t much better than the V6 and certain 4 cylinders had oil consumption issues, plus you get better performance from the V6). As I stated before, there are some issues that it has but overall, I used to see these models come into my old Hyundai dealer with over 130,000 miles needing maintenance.

From my experience as a tech, I've replaced failed turbochargers on every Hyundai model from the Genesis coupe with the 2.0 to the 1.6 turbo in the Velosters & Tucsons. The 3.3 turbos suffer from leaking oil feed hoses that were actually a recall on the G70s. If not careful, the oil feed will leak onto the hot turbo & could catch on fire. The 4.6 Tau engine is a good strong engine that will last a good while.

Otherwise, just small stuff like tires, alignment, a fog lamp bulb, and had one trouble interior light on the roof console in front, so I just replaced the entire console with a used one. Otherwise, it's been a terrific vehicle. Had it for 7 years now. I do scheduled oil changes using synthetic Castrol Edge (API SP/SN PLUS), and run STP intake valve cleaner through the intake every 25K miles to clean out the valves from carbon buildup. I also keep an eye on the EGR valve and replace as needed. Doing this, the engine has remained strong, smooth, and reliable.

That was said pretty well. I had a buddy that bought a Kia used and other than the 2.4 GDI engine which was replaced under the recall free it lasted till about 130k miles with little issues. After that the repairs racked up pretty quick. And he finally dumped it once the transmission started slipping. If you’re a person that buys new or used cars and drive them a few years until 80k-100k miles Hyundai and Kia’s could work for you. If you plan on driving them much further than 100k stay away.

This is an old model Santa Fe, 12 years old, with some wear issues. The Honda Civic my son had, was overall reliable, but still had some creeks from the suspension and uneven brake rotors. The Toyota Prius we sold 9 years ago also had suspension noises, oil leak and cheap interior trim pieces that would break and Toyota was not able to fix. Hyundai and Kia did improve drastically since. They are no longer priced much differently. Honda also had several quality issues around transmissions failing and oil consumption. I think they messed up big time with their theta engine and with skimping on an immobilizer on many models. Bottom line, I am not sure you can condemn the entire lineup as unreliable today. A car from 12 years ago, that shares very little with the same car today, is not an indication of anything.

Bought one of these, a 2010, with the manual transmission (lol) during lockdowns just before inflation/car demand went through the roof. Super cheap and it was in good shape - oil sprayed for rust and I suspect garage stored, used as a second car by a retired couple out in the country. Looked almost new inside and out at 105k miles. Guy at the lot was surely glad to be rid of it, a manual SUV??? Bought it with the understanding that it was a 10+ year old car and it was going to need some work. Also did my homework into the Theta II problem before buying, and seems the MPI is not affected (UOAs reflect this). I'm at 125k miles now as well, and it's been basically solid but has had a couple silly things go wrong - the ECU went bad (?!?) but that was easily fixed by sourcing good used ($70) and having a dude clone it ($300). Front wheel bearings have both died, and a ball joint. Silly part here is that the axles could NOT be removed from the knuckles as they had rusted in, and ended up having to cut the axles up. Sounds like this wasn't the worst problem to have as the boots likely didn't have much life left in them. In my opinion this review/non-recommendation was unnecessarily harsh. They are cheap cars to buy, parts are very reasonable and they are simple and uncomplicated to work on. A Toyota/Honda at the same price point is going to be much higher mileage/older and going to need this kind of work, and they have their share of foibles (can we talk about that 2AZ engine?). This kind of advice from these RU-vid mechanics is akin to "stop being poor" or "just quit being fat to get healthy". - sounds smart but too broad to be helpful. Do your homework about the thing you're going to spend lots of money on, and entrust your life to, and you'll be fine.

There was nothing too bad wrong with this vehicle- 124000 miles you should expect some wear and tear. My wife and I have owned 2 Kia Optimas from new and put over 200000 miles on them both. Sold them still in good running condition. My brother in law has a Hyundai Santa Fe with 280000 miles on it still going strong. Don't be afraid to buy these vehicles, they are fine if maintained. Mazda? No-not for me. Daughter has one of their SUV's. Nothing but problems and uncomfortable too.

Dad's GDI had a wicked knock but ran good other than hesitation and blue smoke on hard accel. Found extreme major thrust surface wear on cyl 3 and the intake manifold full of water and oil. New complete engine after a year has no knock but blue smoke on hard accel again. Havent been able to scope it yet, might just take the intake off and pour out what I believe is there again.

I have a 21 year old GMC Yukon XL Denali with 341k mi and I bought it brand new. Still has the original engine never had any metal inside replaced or the head gaskets just seals and little things. All 8 Bosch fuel injectors and coils are also all original just the spark plugs and plug wires, has had 1 alternator and 2 water pumps and 1 radiator. Original transmission with only fluid and filters every 80k, original front and rear differential and transfer case with nothing replaced just fluid, original power steering pump and original AC compressor and I haven't had to have the dash ripped out either to fix the AC coil and all of the electronics still work. sunroof still works doors work fine, heated seats, the power folding mirrors and the LEDs and even all 4 factory Delphi shock absorbers are original, never needed to replace a single shock. The abs system has never had an issue. Still has the original fuel pump just the charcoal canister and the vent have been replaced with lots of fuel filters. If this heap of shit Hyundai is already having this many problems with only just 12 years and only just 130k it should be scrapped.

You could have 20 of the same exact cars made on the same shift…and 12 of them could be crap. Let’s also consider that hyundais are notorious for burning oil, and we know that nobody checks their oil anymore. You also see every other person out there, speed-racing down the road at high RPM’s…and hyundai/Kia/VW/ect. engines don’t like high RPM’s. A lot of things play into a car being nothing but problems, and personal driving habits have everything to do with it.

As she eased out, she checked left again and saw a car she had not noticed before. She put a small crease down the side of that car with her front bumper. The car was a new police car the officer had just picked up that morning. She now double checks both ways before pulling out of a parking lot.

I started noticing the mileage range going down as i filled up. When it went from 429 to 390. I checked the oil, bone dry. Three quarters later 430, two days later 409. Until i returned seven quarts, i told the Rental Company when i turned it in.
