My wife's grandma has a sante fe and while I believe it's been a pretty good vehicle I know she had the same stranded issue from the alternator. They bought the extended warranty so any little thing they take in gets covered without hassle but that one did take them a few days to diagnose and finally replace. They went through 3 batteries before somebody decided it might be something else!
