Common problems and easy repairs on a 2011 Santa Fe

The 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS is a relatively easy car to maintain. All of the headlights are accessible by simply reaching behind the bulb housing, allowing for reliable bulb changes. Both the front and rear wiper blades can be changed with just your hands, requiring no tools and cutting down on repair time. The engine air filter can also be changed without the use of any tools, so replacing the filter shouldn’t be a problem.

However, the 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS has its downsides. Accessing the battery is time-consuming, as you’ll need to remove the intake vent before you can reach the bracket. You won’t be able to reliably change the center brake light, as multiple fasteners and panels will need to be removed to access it. The spare tire is stored underneath the vehicle, which may prove to be a problem should it become rusted to the undercarriage.
