I have a Santa Fe and there is a whinning noise when car is idling and put into Drive or Reverse.The Noise goes away if Steering wheel is turned slightly.Have been told by Service/Dealer this is common to all Santa Fe's.Didn't hear noise until car was about 1 year old.

Hi there,

Well i don't know if this is a common problem or not, but regardless if the pump's noisy there is a problem, i would say by your description that the internal pressure relief valve may be leaking i would be getting a replacement pump fitted.
