All About 2023 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 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Hyundai's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are 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 visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Santa Fe might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Hyundai Santa Fe doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
