Common problems and easy repairs on a 2009 Santa Fe

The 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited is a moderately difficult vehicle to maintain, and can be difficult for even the experienced vehicle owner. You will have to peel down a panel from under the vehicle for access to the fog light. This will require more tools than usual to complete this repair. Changing a tire can be tough, as you will have to lower the tire from under the vehicle first. The cabin air filter can be difficult to access. You will have to lower the glove box in order to reach the filter. This would have been easier if there were an access panel.

Some things are easier on the 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited. Checking the transmission fluid level is easy to do, as the dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay. Not every model includes this dipstick. The engine coolant reservoir is easily visible in the engine bay. This will allow you to check and replenish the fluid level on a regular basis. Changing the engine air filter is easy to do, as you only have to disengage a few fasteners for access to the filter.
