I was driving on the highway about 65 miles an hour and the front wheel locked up. The car pulled to one side, lost control, and went off the road. I took it to the dealer and they told me it was a sensor with the cruise control, the esc, and something with the steering wheel. *tr

I have had this santa fe since 2008 and have kept up with the service on this vehicle. I have been in to the dealership many times for the same noise, and that is a clunking sound when driving at speeds between 15 and 25mph. When i drive over a bump in the road, it sounds like something is loose and rattles. And it feels like the steering is more aggressive since i had all that work done. I love my santa fe and have…

Update for my 2007 santa fe steering, pulling. I went to the better business bureau the report came back there is a normal pull to the right. The consumer should be told about this problem since it affects the tires wearing out sooner than the tire manufactures states. There is a heavy pull when you accelerate hard at about 40 mph. Is this normal? The wheel really turns the wheel to a half a turn to the right. Of…
