| 2008 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE SPEED REDUCED WHILE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL; FOLLOWED BY NO POWER RESPONSE. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERNS OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,000. |
| 2010 | SERVICE BRAKES | THE VEHICLE NEEDED REAR BRAKE PADS AND CUTTING OF THE REAR ROTORS AT 24,000 MILES. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR DRIVING HABITS ARE OR TYPE OF DRIVING YOU DO (HIGHWAY VS. AROUND TOWN} THAT IS WAY TO EARLY FOR REAR BRAKES TO NEED REPLACING. I HAVE CHECKED WITH VARIOUS DEALERS AND THEY ALL AGREE THAT IS NOT NORMAL. NOW THERE IS ALSO BURNING SMELL THAT OCCURS PERIODICALLY COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT, HACKETTSTOWN HYUNDAI, AND THEY MADE ME WAIT A WEEK FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND THEN LOOKED IT OVER QUICKLY AND SAID THEY SMELL NOTHING AND SEE NO PROBLEM. THEY WERE RUDE AND YOU COULD TELL THEY WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PROBLEM. I MENTIONED THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DUE TO PREMATURE REAR BRAKE WEAR BUT THEY KNEW NOTHING AND COULD CARE LESS. IT SEEMS SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN A FATAL ACCIDENT FOR HYUNDAI TO CARE. LETS GET TOGETHER AND MAKES THEM CORRECT THE PROBLEM BEFORE ITS TO LATE. *TR |
