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

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

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

Can you reset your Santa Fe’s malfunction warning light at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Santa Fe, but it's important to resist the urge.

All About 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Santa Fe's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Santa Fe and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Hyundai's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

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 come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Santa Fe might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. 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. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Hyundai Santa Fe drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe? Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
