Hyundai Santa Fe TM AWD Diesel 2.2L CRDi Active (2018-2023)

Hyundai's warranty is not worth the paper it is written on. As Hyundai will only reimburse the dealers for repairing actual faults, if they can't find a fault, the dealership will charge you a diagnostic fee. In my case $210. For example, at least 5 or 6 people, over a 6 month period, have complained about a fuel smell in the car. Obvious warranty issue. But there are no obvious leaks to fix, so if you raise the issue with a dealer and they cannot find anything to cause the smell, they charge you $210 for looking. Transmission plays up from time to time. Known issue for dual clutch Hyundais. As it is only intermittent, they can't find the fault, so you get a diagnosis fee. So you pay for the dealers incompetence in not being able to find the issue. Therefore, raising any warranty issues with Hyundai is the same as going to the Casino. If you are lucky they will find the issue and fix it. If they can;t, they charge you $210. It is all designed to stop you raising warranty issues. The dealer makes more out of the diagnostic fee than what Hyundai would pay them to fix the problem.

Paint peels off!!! class action lawsuits in other countries. Do Not Buy a hyundai!! – Effects all hyundai's as far back as 2006!!. Bought a 2018 hyundai santa fe 2 weeks ago. Has been driven by my wife 3 times, hasent even been washed yet and the paint has started to peel off the roof!!! The car is only 5 years old and has 110,000ks on it. There are multiple class action law suits against hyundai for this in other countries but none in Aus atm. I have booked it to go back to the dealer and have filed a complaint with hyundai so we shall see what happens but from what I've read it is unlikely they will fix it.. furious is an understatement.
