Parts shortage forces Hyundai to shut down Montgomery production line for a week

About 1,000 workers will be temporarily unemployed this week.

Plant to close this week due to parts shortage and next week for yearly planned maintenance. Bummer.

Maybe this is why they haven't released pricing yet - they know production is delayed.

I often notice that, down the page under "Recommended Reading," the posts from two, or three, or five years ago were often saying: "Almost Here," "Any Day Now," "This is it," "Right Around the Corner," "It Won't Be Long," "or "Pretty Soon!" .... <sigh>

That must be a reflection of the last 6+ years of baiting us with SAV bliss. I can't bite an empty hook! 🎣

All those previous false starts were, as it turns out, nothing more then rumors. The difference this time is they have a finished vehicle ready for production. I do feel bad for anyone who was excited back in 2015... they must have given up by now. Hyundai just jumped the gun saying it would be available this "summer", the chip shortage is affecting all automakers.

I was hyped for the concept in 2015 ... but, it was also a concept. Rarely do concepts ever make it to production - and if they do ... well, remember the Pontiac Aztek? Pretty cool concept, then the bean counters make it a Frankenstein of the worst bits of the GM parts bin. (Although I know several people who loved them for their actual utility, if not the looks.) I think it's fair to wait for a company to actually do a GOOD job of bringing a concept to production ... and I believe Hyundai has done just that with the SC!

If you read the entire article it appears there are Santa Cruz's complete and in the supply chain.

All well and good, but they took our $100 going on 3 months ago and still no pricing!

Be glad it's only $100 - it's $500 in Canada!

Are the Canadian's actually ordering and reserving a vehicle? In the USA you pay them to indicate your interest only.

I hope it makes a difference in the end that benefits us in some way.

Nah, it's just a refundable deposit ... not really any different than the US, just five times as much, like everything else up here. LOL

Has anyone called this phone number on the Hyundai USA site?

I may call today just to see if they have any info... it's been a week since the Maverick dropped, I can't believe they haven't released more info.

I called the other day. She sent me a 2022 Santa Cruz live showroom schedule. The next ones are tomorrow. She said that they would talk about accessories and options not on the website and she said pricing should be released at the end of the month.

That link points to the Hyundai main site. I couldn't see a live showroom link from there. Did anyone else find a link?

If you go to the Santa Cruz page, there will be a little pop up once the show goes live -- or at least that's how I saw it a few weeks back.

Discover the 2022 Santa Cruz, the Sport Adventure Vehicle that combines the comfort of an SUV with the open bed of a pick-up. Build one today at Hyundai USA!

Just sit on the page a little bit to make sure it fully loads and it should be in the lower right side to join the virtual showroom session.

Waste of time. The host knows nothing more than what we already know. No pricing release dates. No info on accessories. No info on actual availability. Don’t bother. It’s an hour of your life you cannot get back.

Oh yeah baby! Analog dash on the SE base model. Hopefully knobs and dials with the 8" SE center screen like the Tucson. Waiting on answer... Yahoo! SE smaller center screen same as the Tucson.


This is a 2022 Tucson SE pilot control center:

That confirms the SE for me.
