| 2013 | EQUIPMENT:AIR CONDITIONER | 6/25/13 MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH ON A 95 DEGREE DAY (FLORIDA) WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER BRIEFLY BLEW HOT AIR THEN STOP PRODUCING ANY AIR PERIOD. THE A/C LIGHT TURNED OFF AND NONE OF THE OTHER BUTTONS WOULD WORK. SHE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY KEPT IT FOR THE DAY. SHE WAS ADVISED THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT, THE VEHICLES COMPUTER DID NOT SHOW ANY ERRORS, AND THE AIR PERFORMED PROPERLY FOR THEM. 7/10/13 MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH AND THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED BLOWING AGAIN. THE A/C LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED AND THE AIR FLOW DIAL WOULD NOT RESPOND. SHE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND KEPT THE VEHICLE RUNNING FOR THE SERVICE TECH TO VIEW. THE SERVICE TECH WAS DUMBFOUNDED BY THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED AND THE AIR BEGAN TO BLOW WITHOUT ISSUE. WE HAVE NOT PICKED UP THE VEHICLE YET BUT WILL UPDATE WHEN ITS RETURNED. *TR |
| 2011 | ENGINE | TOOK MY CAR IN TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN CONCORD, CA ON APPROX. MARCH 17TH OF THIS YEAR FOR PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS OF ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME THAT NO ERROR CODES WERE RECORDED BY THE CAR'S COMPUTER AND THAT HYUNDAI MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY THEN TALKED TO HYUNDAI ENGINEERS AND DECIDED THAT POSSIBLY THE CARS THROTTLE BODIES COULD BE A PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD DO A "GOOD WILL" REPLACEMENT OF THIS AUTO PART. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 1K MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT, UNTIL THIS PAST SATURDAY MAY 18 2013. I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, GOING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 5-15 MPH. I PUSHED THE BRAKE TO DO A GRADUAL SLOW, THEN WENT TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR BUT THERE WAS NO POWER. I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE MY DASH LIGHTS WERE PRESENT, BUT NO ENGINE SOUND. I SLOWED THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, THEN TURNED IT ON AND THE ENGINE STARTED RIGHT UP. AGAIN, AS PREVIOUS, NO ERROR MESSAGES APPEARED ON MY DASH. THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN WITHOUT INCIDENT SO FAR 200 MILES SINCE THIS LAST INCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ASKED ME TO BRING THE CAR IN AND ALLOW THEM TEST DRIVE THE CAR FOR A DAY HOPING THAT THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WILL OCCUR FOR THEM. IT APPEARS TO BE CONNECTED TO HITTING THE BRAKES, SLOWING, THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. ALL TIMES THIS SO FAR THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON AN INCLINE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 35, 500 MILES. *TR |
