How does Hyundai drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

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?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

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.

Can you clear the Santa Fe check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Santa Fe’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Santa Fe serious?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Santa Fe, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

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.

All About 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Drivetrain Service

Your Santa Fe drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Hyundai, from back to front. It’s one of your Santa Fe’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2010 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 visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Hyundai could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. 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." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. 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.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
