Do you still own this vehicle just curious on the long term?

Just an edit to my original post. It's been about 13 months now since I bought it and it is still my favorite car. However, a couple of LITTLE things that I hope that Hyundai might improve on. He mentioned the gas fill door. I am REALLY disappointed in that. It's very flimsy and it takes me a few times to get it to fully close. I have had it where, after driving it for a while, it's actually not closed tight. It will be sagging some and I have to lift it up and shove it close, kind of like he did in the video. Another complaint, a little bigger is the blue tooth voice command. I had a 2013 and it had the voice recognition and it was practically flawless. This one, where I put my iPhone in with my contacts in should work with my voice. It does, sometimes. An example, I'm driving down the road and need to call my daughter. I'll push the voice button on the steering wheel and the voice will ask me what I want. I will say, "Call Daughter (that's the way I have her in my contacts)", and it will search. After about 15 seconds, the voice will come on and say, "Contact not found, please try again". I'll repeat it and the same thing or it might connect. It's very "iffy". I've had to pull over on the side of the road and get my phone and manually call her. That is very frustrating. The same is true with the navigation. I will open the connect screen and say, "Find address in Alabama". It will ask the address, I will tell it, the thing searches and will say, "network not available, enter the address on the address screen". Now, that is aggravating!! The process of doing it on the 2020 is much slower than the 2013 I had. Plus, that "network not available" makes no sense. I may go to my dealer and talk to them about it. Of course, it's not like that every time, which means it's INTERMITTENT which is the worst. Why? Because when you take it to the dealer and try to show it to them, it will WORK PERFECTLY then! AARRGGHH!!! Again, these are things I can live with, I don't use them all the time everyday but I can still recommend this vehicle. OH! I also agreed with him about the sunroof control. My 2013 had a sunroof (or is it a MOONROOF?) and it had two switches, one for the shade and one for the glass. It was much easier to open and close just the shade than the 2020 because with the newer one you do have to move a little quicker to get it. Of course, if you miss it, to get it to do right, you have to start all over again, close the shade, then try to do it right. Sometimes the engineers try to "improve" something that doesn't need improving. "Give me back separate switches or give me death!!"

@@marmac2768 , I'm considering this Santa Fe as a 2nd vehicle. I pay attention to comments by vehicle owners more than reviewers. They invested a lot of money and they drive the vehicles daily. I really appreciate the follow up to your original post. I can understand your frustrations. I had a 2010 Santa Fe Sport 3.5L v6 it served me well. Bought it used from Sept 2019 lasted till Dec 2023. Driver ran a red light and totalled it. So far I'm torn between the Santa Fe and the Ford Edge. The Santa Fe has the edge (no pun intended). Wishing you safe journies!

@@jackflash5659 an edge on an Edge! That's a great line!!

I agree!! It matches the interior much better than the one I had before.

I actually like the smaller display. I am driving, not trying to watch a movie or anything a little smaller is better in my opinion. I also like the way that my 2020 still has separate controls for the A/C rather than incorporating it on the video screen. When I want to change the temp for my A/C, I don't have to "tap and scroll" to get the right temperature screen to come up for me. I have to just turn a knob, so passe'. There are already enough distractions while we are driving so I think that simpler is better.

LOL. That's crazy!

This made me laugh like crazy man ahaahahahahahaha something I would do but with the family it would be African lion safari with the renter Santa Fe

The complaint I have about the fuel door is that is doesn't just close as it should. I have to literally lift mine up just slightly to get it to seat in the opening. It's like it's sagging or something. Sometimes I have to do it 2 or 3 times before it will finally seat. I asked my dealer the other day when I was having it serviced and he said that was a very common complaint that they get about the Santa Fe. There is nothing they can do about it, it's almost like the door is too heavy for the hinge.

The ability to beat the crap out of it and get you back to camp or home. I'm more function over fluff and features.

I have habitually learned to turn that feature off.

I own a 2020 John and can't see the issue with the CC and downshift, if your going uphill and want to preselect a lower gear the cc stays on like all cars. It's only a touch of a button or slight tap on the brake to disengage the cc. It works like every other vehicle i've ever driven.

@@enforcer41 I guess I only downshift to slow down. That's when I think the cruise not disengaging is an issue. It would be a better design to not have to tap the brake or touch the cancel button in this situation in my opinion.

I also have the 2020 and love it. This doesn't sound normal. Try contacting Hyundai corporate to open a customer service case.

A.R. Walker thnx for reply...they opened up a case on it. Just wait and see what happens

I have fixed those kind of noises. It's a small gap somewhere around the mirror.

@@olliechristopher467 how did you fix it ?

@@semiauto3148 I taped off the gap and added silicone. To find it simply use blue painters tape and drive until the noise disappears.
