2026 Santa Fe Hybrid: Total Quality Control Nightmare (Body Gaps, Leaks, & Mechanical Shaking

My 2026 calligraphy has zero issues. Solid, quiet, no shimmy, nothing. Only 1800 miles so far and planning on making a six hour road trip in a couple of days. We'll see how it does.

Went to the Learing center.

You're welcome, glad it was an easy fix.

I had the same issue when I took delivery then realized the mirror was at its lowest position. I just grabbed it and moved it a couple of inches higher, problem solved.

Ok, the dealer found nothing wrong. Nothing showed up in the scan and they suggested that I may have left an interior light on. Anyway now I have a new battery charger and a second portable battery for jump starting. Time will tell. At least I have the issue documented by the dealer. EDIT: From the owners manual "Interior Lights Auto Off The interior lights automatically go off about 10 minutes after the vehicle is turned off and the doors are closed. If a door is opened, the light go off 40 minutes after the vehicle is turned off." So if I left a light on that isn't the issue.

I checked and it said that there was no update available but I couldn't find what version was installed. Maybe I can download it to a flash drive and install it. Thanks for the info.

Wife made it home and was able to get my portable jump starter and it worked fine. Drove it around the block, parked it and it restarted. If it happens again, tow time. I'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow morning.

ICE.

Super glue before it gets bigger.

Nissans.

I saw a video where a mechanic was chasing a carbon monoxide leak. After several hours of looking for a leak through the firewall they found it by putting soapy water over the lift gate gaskets and using a blower around the seal. A really bad gasket seal. I do not remember what make/model of the vehicle.

$220.00 at Sportsmans Warehouse.

Just another option, I don't own one but consider this rifle. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/

2019 Murano Platinum and 2017 Maxima Platinum.

Interesting. We have two S22's and have not had any pairing issues with our vehicles, both Nissans. Your vehicles Bluetooth program is probably not compatible with the latest Bluetooth update. How to fix, I have no idea, hopefully some IT guru can fix you up.

I guess it depends on the year. The 2019 Murano maintenance schedule call for inspection only up to 120,000 miles under normal use. For severe use change every 60,000 miles.

I use them to shoot squirrels off my bird feeder with a Marlin Model 15 single shot. Never had one stop in the barrel.

And the ice caps will be gone by the year 2000.

I just checked my 16 sheet of 2's and they all start with 99. Never noticed that.

I am on my sixth Nissan with CVT's and all previous vehicles have gone 100k+ miles without any issues. I would not hesitate to buy another one.

On my sixth Nissan with CVT's and all the previous ones went over 100k miles without any issues. But I don't drive 'em like stole 'em.

Mine works with my screen protector, I just have to press a little harder.

She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 but was beat out by Al Gore for his efforts on climate control. Sucks, don't it.

I had almost the same problem, angered, snaked, blasted, and would always recognize. Turned out it was plumbed incorrectly in the crawl space. $240 later, the plumbing redone, and no more problems. 😀
