nothing to worry about at all.
my freind works at toyota building corolla engines. he says as soon as they finish an engine, it goes into the test chamber where they take them all the way up to redline and back down to diagnose any problems if they have any. and these engines are known for going on and on and on without hardly any problems.

The 3.3L was offered somewhere prior to 2007 on the Santa Fe. 2007+ are all 3.5's, unless you get the 4cyl of course or the 2.7L up to 2009.

You paid a small price by insisting you "want it now". Not to be concerned.

Probably blown-up by the lot boy doing reline burnouts on a stone cold engine!
... well, let's hope not.

Interesting because I haven't had this problem with the 3.5's I have serviced.

I don't know about your state but in Ontario we have a 48 hour cooling period for signed purchase agreements (vehicles included) and so you could refuse it and take your business to another dealership to prove a point to them.
The 3.5L engine is a bullet proof well proven engine for Hyundai and could take red-lining racing and it would be fine. (Not that I would recommend it)
Plus you have a good warranty that will cover it.
Go to church, say a prayer and have faith!

Ontario doesn't have a 48 hour cooling off period for new car purchases, Where do you get your info from? it is very misleading and not true. Link would be appreciated. ya praying will help///

That`s un-acceptable !! I would not have taken delivery.

"""If I owned or manages a car dealership and caught employees abusing any cars, they'd be fired instantly. IMO, there are no excuse for idiots abusing the dealership's bread and butter""
The above is worth repeating.
After some yelling and screaming by me IN THE SHOWROOM, I would have walked away-and told everyone I knew

and I might as well ask-how many of you who stated this procedure was OK--listen carefully.............have atually BUILT an engine?
And even if you have, the brutal break in procedure does not take into account the excessive wear on associated assemblies ie the trans and differential<--- (especially)

A dealerships bread and butter is the service department. Has been for a long time. Maybe those lot boys and transporters DO serve a purpose then?!? Seriously though, like said, they didn't damage this vehicle. On a side note, having participated on a Hyundai board for awhile, there have been a complaint here/there in regards to start up noise/rattle on late model 2.7L and 3.5's. They use shim/bucket lash adjusters (2007+) and can be a bit tappy.

Most of my vehicles have been found on other lots -- miles (sometimes 200) away. I've never had any issues. I have however, had the occasional rock chip, scratch, etc. You're always taking a chance by "buying w/o seeing". I'd worry more about interior/exterior scratches, swirls, etc. than how they drove it.
On the Tiguan purchase, I iced my local dealer and drove 75 miles to go to where the car I wanted was. Too bad. If they stocked a manual vehicle, I'd have bought it.
I heard this engine in question from a video (25mb) that C.O.D. sent me via e-mail and it's not good at all.
Without knowing these engines one would think it's a rod knock that is how bad it is, but from closer listening it's definitely an oil starvation problem causing the timing chain to slap around or the lifters to tap loudly. (Hard to gain from the video)
I have suggested that he check the oil filter media (cartridge) for some sort of restriction and oil pressure in general as it goes away when the engine is warmed up so that leads me to believe it's an oil flow problem. (Lack of it)
He needs to be taking it back to the dealer and griping about it for sure.

Compare to others on the dealer lot.
I do computer work for an east coast sea port where all the BMWs come and go. They start 'em cold, race them down the rows and into the containers/ships. Time is money.
Same thing for train auto ramps. Time is money, get the cars in the trains as fast as they can. No warm up, never get hot.

It's a fact of life for DECADES. Stealerships have an opportunity to abuse your car.
I used to be a "lot boy" about 35 years ago. We raced your car as fast as we could. Period. Didn't matter if we were moving it miles or feet!

Disgraceful behavior shows how far humanity is falling...
What blows my mind is how that abuser will feel when HE buys a new car?
What comes around goes around..
BTW I was a lot boy and never did such things to the cars at any dealership I worked at...
I thought about how I would want my car treated if I was buying it.
