| 2007 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM HYUNDAI CONCERNING THE AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE. I REALIZED THAT MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY DASH HAD BEEN ON FOR A LONG TIME, PERHAPS A YEAR OR TWO, BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS NORMAL AND DIDN'T REALIZE IT MEANT IT DIDN'T WORK. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED THE REPAIR RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I AGREED TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE SO THE DEALER COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS A SHORT IN THE WIRING HARNESS THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WHICH WOULD COST $1500 TO FIX. THEY SAID THE SRS COMPUTER AND AIRBAG SENSOR MAY ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR A COST OF $600 AND $400 RESPECTIVELY. *TR |
| 2006 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | AFTER ENGINE IS WARM, ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, THERE IS A GURGLING IN THE FUEL TANK WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ON (BEFORE AND AFTER THE ENGINE IS STARTED). I THINK IT IS FUEL BEING RETURNED FROM THE ENGINE. I HAVE HAD IT IN TWO DIFFERENT HYUNDAI SERVICE SHOPS, WITH THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED TWICE, AND A FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR REPLACED. HAVING GIVEN UP, BOTH SHOPS CONTACTED THE DISTRICT HYUNDAI OFFICE AND A FIELD SERVICE ADVISER TOLD THE LOCAL SHOPS TO SHOW THE EVENT AS "NORMAL". IT IS NOT NORMAL AND I THINK THE HYUNDAI DISTRICT OFFICE IS HIDING THE PROBLEM. COULD BE A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM AND COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF FUEL STARTS LEAKING. BOTH LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENTS NOW SHOW THE PROBLEM AS "NORMAL" AND NOTHING MORE WILL BE DONE ON THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IS APPROPRIATE. *TR |
