| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My santa fe lx-awd rear differential which also could be defined as rear axle was totally failed and all the differential fluid is leaking and the whole thing need to be replace. my car is 87k mile while hyundai services dealer stated that this part is covered under the 5/60k bumper to bumper warranty. i still believed that this part should be covered under the power train warranty; which it is 10/100k miles. when i go into most websites to shop for this part they mostly related to the power train parts. the dealer expected me to pay nearly $2400 for just this part to be fix. this is not included labor yet. there is no way for me to afford to pay for this part and of course not to mention about labor....i seriously feel that this part should be covered under the power train 10/100k warranty instead of 6/60k warranty. since this is part of a transmission turning the transaxle to the rear because of my car is awd! i don't know what to say but the part is ridiculously expensive for anyone to afford to pay another $3k to fix it. i feel to point that i rather save my $3k right now and buy a use accord/camry to drive. i am writing this complaint here is to ask nhtsa to help me verify the condition of the rear differential/rear axle on my 2001 hyundai santa fe lx awd to see if the part should be covered under bumper to bumper or under power train. as you can see your part selection is also stated power train: rear differential unit. i was hoping for a recall then that would be great or check at the price point of the part. it is too expensive ($2400) just this part alone. *nm |
