Fault from new with Santa Fe cruise control
Bought this new from a via AutoEbid around June 2010. Dealer was very helpful. However Cruise Control operation was intermittant.
This was traced via forums to a software issue around the clutch switch. Hyundai UK have admitted that there is an inherent fault but are getting no joy re a fix from Hyundai Korea. Dealer cannot do anything as he is not an authorised Hyundai dealer. It has been over 12 months now and I am being told to be patient. What should I do?
Putting pressure on the delaer will achevie nothing as they cant fix it until Hyundai have a fix from Korea. Hyundai UK say they can do nothing either. This appears to be an inherent design fault in the car from what I have been told.

I don't know. The only action you can legally take is against the supplier of the car. This problem seems to have spread to the KIA Sportage and Hyundai ix35.

Relaxed motorway cruising. Comfortable ride. Excellent on very rough tracks. Available with seven seats. Good value. Much improved from 2010 with new 2.2-litre diesel.
