What the numbers tell you

Understanding the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe complaints

Which systems appear most often?

The largest component group is other: 60 entries, or 19.4% of classified component entries. Next is driver assistance: 51 entries, or 16.5% of classified component entries. A complaint can name several components, so these percentages describe the entries in the file, not the percentage of vehicles affected. Only the leading component groups are displayed.

At what mileage were problems reported?

Only 19 complaints have usable mileage. That is below the 20-report threshold, so no median is published. Missing mileage does not mean a problem occurred at zero miles.

Use these patterns to prepare questions about a particular vehicle's service history. Complaint reports describe submitted experiences; they do not establish the cause, repair cost, or condition of every 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe. Read the symptom groups below alongside the source documents and a VIN-specific recall check.

Cluster 3 of 32023 Hyundai Santa Fe

Each complaint is assigned to the first matching keyword group, even if it mentions several symptoms. Only the leading published groups are shown. Unmatched reports and other groups remain in the total, so these percentages need not add to 100%. A keyword match can miss context; it is not an owner quotation or proof of a defect.
