| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | AFTER DRIVING MY CAR AND SHUTTING ENGINE OFF FOR AS LITTLE AS FIVE MINUTES THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIR ELEVEN TIMES. ON ONE OCCASION MY CAR LOST POWER, ENGINE DIED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THREE ALTERNATORS AND ONE BATTERY. THEY IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. HYUNDAI WILL NOT REPLACE THIS LEMON. CAR IS IN THE SHOP NOW. *NM |
| 2006 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | I BOUGHT A 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MODEL YEAR IN AUGUST 2005. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE REPLACED THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS AT LEAST 4 TIMES. ON TWO OF THOSE FOUR OCCASIONS, THE HEADLAMPS BURNED OUT AFTER ONLY A FEW MONTHS OF USE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. *TR |
