Can Hyundai service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

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.

How often will I need 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.

What causes a Santa Fe’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Santa Fe can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

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

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about 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.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Santa Fe?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Santa Fe’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Santa Fe forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 2022 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 your Santa Fe’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2022 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.

Hyundai Santa Fe Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Hyundai Santa Fe may need driveshaft attention if you feel 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 parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. 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.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe drivetrain repair is expensive. Again, it depends!
