I'm looking at a 2004 Santa Fe with the 2.7L engine. I was told the engine was made by Chrysler. Is that true?

No. the Chrysler 2.7 is junk. Hyundai's is bullet proof. 257,000 on my Sportage and she is smooth as silk and still gets 25 MPG all the time. Yes I know this is old but.....

good to know - mine has 275,000 miles on it. Runs great! Looks like it had a major oil leak from the valve cover gaskets in the past. I cleaned it all up though and put on a new alternator and crank pulley and she runs perfect. Got the car for free from a friend who didn't want to pay to have those items fixed. Cost me $150 in parts and a few hours of time and I have a free car that runs amazing.
