2013 And 2014 Hyundai Santafe Advice by cucumbar: 11:15am On Jan 09
Will be in the market to scout for a 2013/2014 Hyundai

I don’t want to get a vehicle that will be a problem later.
Please, what engine type or trim should i avoid?

Are they easy to maintain and parts readily available?

Won’t mind if anyone has a good offer for me as well.

I will appreciate your input.

To help you choose the right 2013/2014 Hyundai that won't cause future problems, here's some information:

Engines to avoid:

2.0L Theta II G4FS: Some versions of this engine experienced premature engine bearing failure, leading to engine knock and potential failure. Avoid models affected by this issue, which mainly include Sonata and Tucson models from 2011-2014.
1.8L Nu G4NU: While generally reliable, some early versions had issues with excessive oil consumption and timing chain stretch. Opt for later model years (2014+) or do thorough checks for these issues.
Trims to be cautious with:

High-performance trims: If you prioritize reliability and affordability, avoid high-performance trims like the Sonata Sport or Elantra GT. They might have more demanding maintenance requirements and potentially higher risk of issues.
Overall, reliable trims and engines:

4-cylinder engines: The 2.4L G4KC Theta II and 1.6L Gamma G4FJ engines are generally reliable and well-regarded options.
Base and mid-level trims: Opting for base or mid-level trims often strikes a good balance between features and reliability, avoiding potential complexity of higher trims.
Maintenance and parts availability:

Easy to maintain: Hyundais are known for being relatively easy to maintain with readily available parts at affordable prices.
Regular maintenance: Remember, any car needs regular maintenance and proper care to avoid issues.
Finding a good deal:

Car history reports: Always check the car's history report for any accidents, maintenance records, and potential recalls.
Independent inspections: Consider getting a pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic before committing to a purchase

Thank you as you put in your mail on our waitlist.🙏
