Loved the new santa fe. 9 months and 6000 miles the engine overheated. Dealer found a blown head gasket. Bad casting of head. Replaced head and couldn't get it to idle smoothly. Replaced engine with a remanufactured one. So far I put 1000 miles on engine. So far so good. To buy a new 2017 same exact model would cost me 10K. I guess I will keep it and see how it goes. Spoke to customer service and regional manager and got know where. I really felt bad about this and nobody wanted to help.
