This car has a recall which put my child and others at risk. It also has a recall for excessive corrosion, which has made the suspension unrepairable. It only has 124K miles. I would like Hyundai to take the car from me and give me the remaining value so I can reimburse my child, who had to buy a car that was safe to drive.
I HAVE HAD A CLUNKING NOISE ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE BUYING IT. IT WOULD MAKE THE NOISE ON THE SMALLEST BUMB, SLOWING DOWN, TURNING, AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID SHE TRIED GETTING IT FIXED BUT NO ONE COULD PINPOINT WHERE THE NOUSE WAS COMING FROM. I ASKED AROUND I GOT THE SAME RESPONSE,ALSO TOLD, "IF IT'S NOT MESSING WITH YOUR PERFORMANCE, IGNORE IT." RECENTLY GOING OVER BUMB IT STARTED MAKING ANOTHER SQUEAK NOISE, I WENT TO A TIRE SHOP AND ASKED FOR THEM TO LOOK AT MY SWAY BAR, TUR S OTHER TOP MOUNT OF MY DRIVER SIDE STRUT HAD A BOLT THAT COULD NOT BE TIGHTENED DOWN.
THE ENGINE LIGHT IS BLINKING ON THE DASHBOARD AND MAKING TOO MUCH SOUND FROM THE ENGINE, TOOK THE CAR TO MECHANIC HE SAID PROBLEM WITH O2 SENSORS AND CATALYST SYSTEM EFFIECIENCY (P0420) CODE
REAR RIGHT SHOCK MOUNTING NUT ,ALL 4 WELDS BROKEN OFF FRAME SHOCK MOUNT.. I WAS TOLD BY 3 MECHANICS THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT. DEALER WONT COVER , 5YR ,60,000 MILE WARRANTY UP. CAR ONLY HAS 48,000 MILES ON IT.
AT 33,000 MILES THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED BUT I THOUGHT THIS WAS ACCEPTABLE MILEAGE FOR LOW PROFILE TIRES. THEN ONE YEAR LATER AT 58,000 MILES, THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, NOW AT 77,000 MILES, THE TIRES ARE GETTING TO A POINT OF REPLACEMENT AGAIN. THE TIRE WEAR IS EXCESSIVE ON THE REAR OF THE CAR. THE TIRES ARE ROTATED EVERY 6,000 MILES AND KEPT PROPERLY INFLATED. EACH TIME THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED. THE PRINTOUT I HAVE INDICATES THE REAR OF THE CAR IS OUT OF ACCEPTABLE SPECS. I LET HYUNDAI PERFORM THE LAST ALIGNMENT AND THEY DID NOT MENTION ANY REPAIRS WERE NEEDED AND WOULD NOT LET ME KEEP A COPY OF THE ALIGNMENT PRINTOUT. I RECENTLY HAD ANOTHER ALIGNMENT SPECIALIST JUST LOOK AT THE CAR AND HE SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP TO HAVE THE REAR SUSPENSION OF THE CAR REWORKED/REPLACED IN ORDER TO GET THE REAR TIRES CLOSE TO WHERE THEY SHOULD BE LOCATED. IN GOOD WEATHER THERE IS A CONSTANT NEED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE CORRECT LANE. THE CAR IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN ANY KIND OF INCLEMENT WEATHER BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT NEED TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. IN SNOW AND ICE THE CAR CONSTANTLY "FISH TALES". WHEN A BUMP IN THE ROAD IS ENCOUNTERED AND ONE OF THE REAR TIRES BOUNCES, THE REAR OF THE CAR WILL DART TO THE SIDE THAT THE TIRE HAS LESS CONTACT WITH THE ROAD. *TR
