Can Hyundai drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are signs my Hyundai drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Hyundai Santa Fe, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Hyundai Santa Fe differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is my Santa Fe malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Santa Fe’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the Santa Fe malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Santa Fe's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Santa Fe.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Santa Fe?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Santa Fe. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Santa Fe.

Does my Santa Fe transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Santa Fe includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Santa Fe forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe

Your Santa Fe’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Hyundai, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe to maintain its performance power. Follow Hyundai's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Hyundai Santa Fe Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Santa Fe might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Hyundai Santa Fe.

How much does it cost to fix your 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
