| 2005 | STRUCTURE | THE SECOND ISSUE WAS IN REGARDS TO WATER POURING THROUGH INTO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE FIRST HYUNDAI DEALER CLAIMED, AS THEY DID WITH THE AIRBAG, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AFTER THEY CHECKED IT OUT. DESPITE HAVING WATER VISIBLE ON THE PASSENGER MAT. AFTER THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, WHICH ONLY OCCURRED AFTER A LONG OR HEAVY PERIOD OF RAINFALL, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A SECOND HYUNDAI DEALER. THEY CHECKED THE ISSUE AND SAID THAT THEY REPLACED SOME STRIPPING ON THE BODY. THE FIRST RAIN YIELDED A POURING OF WATER ONTO THE FLOOR AND A RETURN TO THE DEALER. THE SECOND DEALER CHECKED THIS LEAK AGAIN AND THIS TIME SAID THEY REPLACED THE WEATHER STRIPPING. AFTER THE FIRST RAINFALL AFTER RECEIVING THE CAR BACK I GOT INTO THE CAR TO FIND A PUDDLE OF WATER ON THE FLOOR AND LIFTED THE MAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TO FIND A SOAKED CARPET. THE SOAKING LED UNDER THE DIVIDER BETWEEN THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER FLOOR AREA AND BEHIND THE RADIO. CURRENTLY I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS FOR A 4TH TIME, MEETING THE LEMON REQUIREMENT IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE 3 DAYS. ON DAY 2 I WAS TO PICKUP THE VEHICLE TO FIND THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS DAMAGED DURING THEIR REPAIRS AND THEY HAD TO KEEP THE VEHICLE AN EXTRA DAY TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. I AM CURRENTLY AWAITING TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK TO SEE IF THE LEAK HAS BEEN FIXED OR NOT. BUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AS WATER LEAKING THROUGH AREAS WITH ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, ESPECIALLY NEAR A IMPROPERLY WORKING PASSENGER AIRBAG, MAY CAUSE ALL SORTS OF ISSUES. *JB |
| 2012 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | BRAND NEW CAR- A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASING AND DRIVING THE CAR, NOTICED CAR WAS NOT DRIVING RIGHT. SEVERAL SYMPTOMS BECAME NOTICEABLE. CAR WOULD JERK WHEN ACCELERATING AND BRAKING. CARS PICK UP WAS DELAYED AND HAD A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE VIBRATION, WHILE IN IDLE AND WHILE DRIVING, TO THE POINT OF GETTING NAUSEOUS WHILE DRIVING IN THE CAR. TOOK CAR TO HYUNDAI SERVICE AND TOLD THEM OF SYMPTOMS AND MY CONCERNS OF SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WITH THE CAR. THE MECHANICS FELT THE PROBLEMS I EXPLAINED ABOVE AND SAID SOMETHING WAS WRONG, NOW HAD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT EXACTLY. SEVERAL TESTS WERE DONE ON THE CAR BUT NOTHING SHOWED UP ON ELECTRICAL GRID. SERVICE HAD TO CALL A HIGHER TECH OUT IN CALIFORNIA TO SEE WHAT TO DO NEXT. CALIFORNIA TECH MADE THEM RUN SEVERAL TESTS, ALL THIS TOOK MORE THEN 2 WEEKS UNTIL THEY FINALLY FIGURED OUT THAT THE ENGINES THROTTLE ASSY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THEY SAID THAT THIS ALSO CAUSED THE SENSOR TO MALFUNCTION. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE ASSY AND CLAIM THE CAR IS REPAIRED. NO LONGER TRUST CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE DEFECTS THAT WHERE FOUND AFTER THE ORIGINAL INSPECTIONS BY THE MANUFACTURE AND THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO FIND THESE DEFECTS WITH THE CAR AND SOLD IT. *TR |
