    Driver's seat was tilting/rocking. Then i realized the whole undercarriage of the drivers seat had come apart. I had noticed a few days before that the seat seemed to rock a little getting in and out of the car, but i just assumed it was the give of the leather seats upon entering and exiting the car. *tr

    Passenger side back seat squeaks very badly when driving on a road that isn't completely smooth. I have taken it once to the dealership and they claim to have fixed it, but the sound persisted. I had to drop the car off again tonight for the second time. That is my number one complaint. The other complaint is that the whole dash board creaks when i'm driving. I don't know if it's because it's cold outside right now,…

    Have been noticing occasionally the front windshield wipers do not return to their "parked" position. They will occasionally stay too far up by 2 to 3 inches. When parked, they should be below the hood line tucked nicely to the wiper cowl. I have found on about 5 occasions since owning this car that the wipers are up as opposed to parked down correctly. The driver seat also rocked quite a bit when first purchased.…

    We purchased this 2013 hyundai santa fe sport in october 2012. Immediately on the drive home, i noticed that the driver's seat felt like it was loose or rocked. I was able to mitigate the problem by using the power adjustment to raise the seat to the highest possible position. While not a solution, it minimized the problem and allowed me to continue to drive the car. After perusing a number of online hyundai forums,…
