| 2002 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE | THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN MY 2002 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT DOES NOT WORK. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS BECAUSE THE MODULE GOT WET DUE TO COFFEE BEING SPILLED ONTO IT. THE SENSOR SITS SOMEWHERE UNDER THE CUP HOLDER. LIQUID CAN GET INTO IT VIA THE GEAR SELECTOR. DEALER SAYS THIS IS OWNER ABUSE AND WANTS $1200 TO REPAIR. TO ME, THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT BECAUSE IT SHOULD BE EXPECTED THAT SOME LIQUID MAY SPILL FROM A CUP IN THE CUP HOLDER. EVEN IF WE REPLACE THE MODULE, SINCE IT IS NOT SEALED, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT SOMETHING WON'T SPILL ON IT IN THE FUTURE.*AK ABL.PCO |
| 2013 | SERVICE BRAKES | THE BRAKES MAKE HORRIBLE CREAKING AND GRINDING NOISES WHEN WET. SOMETIMES IT WILL EVEN CAUSE THE CAR TO SHAKE. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY DO NOT TAKE THIS SERIOUS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. I JUST TOOK IT IN LAST WEEK AND THEY EVEN TRIED TO GET ME TO PAY 100 FOR A CLEANING OF THE BRAKE COMPONENTS, I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE HAD IT IN SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. I AM NOT CONFIDENT DRIVING THE CAR NOW AND CLEARLY NO ONE WOULD WANT IT BUY IT OFF US WHEN IT MAKES SUCH HORRIBLE NOISES. I ALSO BELIEVE IT CANNOT BE SAFE AND WILL CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE CALIPERS AND / OR POSSIBLE THE BALL JOINTS OR FRONT STEERING SUSPENSION. I THINK THEY HAVE A FAULTY DESIGN IN THE BRAKE HYDRAULICS AND THE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURES BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES ARE NOT RIGHT. *TR |
