| Description of the problem | i bought a 2006 hyundai santa fe on june 22, 2006 . In july 2006 i took a trip to san antonio, texas. While i was out there, my engine light came on and went off a few days later. After a few months when it came back on i took it to ray bryant service center where i bought the vehicle. They checked it and got the light to go off. As i was on my way home the light came back. Every time i brought it back the light would come back on and is still on. Sometimes as i'm driving it feels like it loses power . I also brought it in for the front end because it always feel like i have an egg in the left front tire. Instead of the service worker didn't check it out he said he had a santa fe just like mine and that his didn't do that and never did a thing about it. I've brought it to another mechanic and he couldn't find the problem. I've bought new tires and the same problem, so i brought it back telling them that it feels like i have an egg in the tire they checked it and can' find anything wrong with the tires. As time goes by the problem is getting worst. I feel really embarrassed when i have someone in my truck and it rides like that. I do hope that there's something that can be done about this problem because i am on disability and can't afford to buy another vehicle. I really love my santa fe. |
