| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR...MY CAR HAS 650 MILES AND IS 2 WEEKS OLD. MY SECOND CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED THIS MORNING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PART TO HAVE GO AS IT CAUSES THE VEHICLES ENGINE TO SUDDENLY STOP, LEAVING YOU COASTING WITHOUT POWER STEERING TO "HOPEFULLY" A SAFE PLACE TO WAIT FOR THE 10-15 MINUTES IT TAKES BEFORE YOUR CAR WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED NO LESS THAN 10 TIMES BETWEEN THE 2 SENSORS THAT I'VE HAD GO. EACH TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER WITHIN 24 HRS OF MALFUNCTION. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FIRST ONE, BUT THEY WERE OUT OF STOCK THIS MORNING, NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE IT FOR ANOTHER 24 HRS IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION, THE LOANER VEHICLES WERE ALREADY IN USE. A SEARCH OF THE WEB TOLD ME THAT CRANKSHAFT SENSORS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM FOR HYUNDAI FOR MANY YEARS. THE DEALERSHIP WILL REPLACE IT AGAIN AT NO CHARGE. HAVING THIS HAPPEN IN A PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO BREAKDOWN LANE COULD BE LIFE THREATENING. *NM |
| 2013 | VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM | THIS IS CONCERNING THE SAME VEHICLE AS IN MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT: 10507443. WHILE DRIVING INTO WORK ON 4/8/13, I PUT THE FRONT AND REAR DEFOGGERS ON. LATER WHEN I WENT TO SWITCH THEM OFF, THEY WOULDN'T. I THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS A TIMER. I WAITED FIVE MINUTES AND THEN WAS ABLE TO SWITCH OFF THE REAR DEFOGGER. I STILL WAS UNABLE TO SWITCH OFF THE FRONT. I PUSHED ALL THE BOTTOMS TO SWITCH THE AIR POSITION AND EVEN TURNED THE ENTIRE A/C-HEATING SYSTEM OFF -THE DEFOGGER STUCK "ON" AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL I SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN. I HAVE REPORTED BOTH THIS AND THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, AND AM HOPING TO SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE WITHIN THE WEEK. *TR |
