    Just noticed that 2005 Santa Fe has problems in passing the recent
    NHTSA Rollover test (Tip). see "NHTSA 2005 SUV Crash, Rollover Ratings
    <http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2005/06/22/133124.html>".

    Based on this, ConsumersReports.org has the below for Santa Fe:
    "We no longer recommend the Santa Fe because of tip-ups in the
    government rollover tests."
    --"<http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/r...model=Santa Fe&trimid=-1&src=VIP&tab=4&sub=0>

    Guess that maybe the reason of the sharp drop of Sales of Santa Fe in
    the past 2 months?

    What is the real world experience in over-steering of Santa Fe? Would
    ABS/TCS help?


    Wondering has anyone heard/known what was the reaction/follow-up by
    Hyundai in this regard?

    Hyundai expects to be releasing a redesigned larger Santa Fe in the future.

    Interesting, especially if one considers the rising price of gasoline
    and the new cafe standards. ;-)
