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/reviews.aspx?year=2005&make=Hyundai&model=Sant
a%20Fe&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.  ;-)
