Top Safety Picks

Hyundai has proven that they are a company concerned with customer safety. Four Hyundai models, including the Sonata, which is a North American Car of the Year finalist, have achieved the coveted 2011 Top Safety Pick honor from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). 

The Sonata is joined in receiving this honor by the Hyundai Genesis, Santa Fe, and Tucson. Top Safety Pick recognizes vehicles that do the best at protecting people in rear, side, and front crashes and in rollovers. The decision is based on tests performed by the IIHS. All winners are required to have electronic stability control, a feature that helps avoid crashes and reduces the risk of a crash significantly. 

These ratings help consumers choose vehicles that offer more protection than what the federal safety standards require. All qualifiers must earn a "good" rating for performance in roof strength tests so that protection in a rollover crash can be accurately rated. Roofs have to be double the federally required strength to qualify.

Santa Fe Recall

Hyundai may be a brand that is moving up in the auto world, but they are not immune to the same problems that have often plagued other automakers. 

The 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe SUVs that were built between September 28 and November 25, 2010 are being recalled. The reason? a manufacturing defect in the braking system. Now, this problem isn't as bad as it might sound. Complete failure is not likely to happen. Rather drivers experience poor pedal feel and reduced brake power. The root of the problem lies in rear brake calipers that were improperly machined. 

The solution is very simple. All affected vehicles can be taken to any Hyundai dealership and new calipers will be installed at no cost to the owner.

2011 Hyundai Santa Fe

The 2011 Santa Fe is Hyundai's version of the ever popular SUV. The MSRP is $21,695, considerably less than many other kinds of SUVs. You can choose from a manual or an automatic transmission. The Santa Fe offers a unique capability that you won't find in other SUVs - you can actually lock the wheels. Lock the rear and front sets of wheels, and you have a vehicle that can actually be taken off-road. 

The engine has had millions of dollars spent to develop it. The 2.4L I4 engine offers  a lot of power and stability. You can also have things like an excellent sound system. If you want to listen to your iPod while on the road, the sound system is compatible with it. All models can have a rearview camera, navigation system, and sunroof. 

The Limited edition has heated front seats, and on both the Limited and SE you get seats that are combination cloth and leather. If you need to keep an eye on children or other backseat passengers, there is an extra mirror to help. Using this convex mirror, you can see everyone in the rear seat at a glance. There are a lot of safety features, such as curtain airbags, that will help keep you and your family safe.
