R&R AND REPLACE TRANSAXLE WITH REMAN UNIT AND FLUSH COOLER.? THE TRANSMISSION STAYED IN 3RD GEAR. HYUNDAI REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. 10/01/2004 THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AGAIN. I HAVE AN INVOICE THAT STATES THE *?LOCKING CLIP OFF OF RIGHT DRIVE AXLE ALLOWING FLUID TO LEAK OUT OF AXLE SEAL ? ORDERED LOCKING CLIP ? FILLED TRANSAXLE TO CORRECT LEVEL ? ADVISED CUSTOMER OF LEAK ? CUSTOMER TO BRING VEHICLE BACK FOR CLIP REPLACEMENT.? *THIS INDICATES THE CLIP WAS LEFT OFF THE LAST TIME THE TRANSMISSION WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON 05/28/04, WHICH SUGGESTING NEGLIGENCE. 10/4/04 THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS WERE TAKEN FROM THE INVOICE: ?CUSTOMER STATES TRANSAXLE IS SLIPPING ?

R&R RIGHT AXLE AND REPLACE RETAINER CLIP? 10/18/05 THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS WERE TAKEN FROM THE INVOICE: ?CUSTOMER STATE TRANSAXLE LURCHES OR STICKS WHILE DRIVING ? PERFORM SCAN TEST ?

CAR STARTED MAKING LOUD TAPPING NOISE, ABOUT 3 DAYS LATER IT STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. I HAD A FRIEND THAT WORKS ON CARS LOOK AT IT AND HE SAID IT WAS VALVE TAPPING COMING FROM THE ENGINE. HE USED SOME OIL TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY BUT SAID PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE UNTIL ENGINE IS MOST LIKELY REPLACED?!?! I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN 2003 AFTER BEING TOLD FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THAT IT WAS JUST MY AIR CONDITIONER! IT IS PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL INFORMATION ON THIS CAR WITH THE EXCLUSION OF THE SEATBELT RECALL, WHAT KIND OF COMPANY DID I BUY A CAR FROM? *TR

WHEEL BEARING, CALIPER AND BRAKE LINE FAILURE. *JB

WHEEL BEARING, CALIPER AND BRAKE LINE FAILURE. *JB

EVERYTIME I USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE IT FREEZES. I HAD IT TOWED INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP & THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WASN'T HAPPENING WHILE IN THEIR POSSESSION. SO, I LEFT MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT A REGIONAL MANAGER WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE MY REPAIR BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY WAS CAUSING MY PROBLEM. I PICKED UP MY CAR 5 DAYS LATER WITH NO REPAIRS BEING MADE AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTING. MY LAST CONVERSATION WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE REGIONAL MANAGER STILL HAS YET TO RESPOND TO MY PROBLEM. SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR THAT I CANNOT USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK FOR WHEN I NEED IT BECAUSE OF THE WINTER WEATHER. *NM

I WAS STOPPED IN THE PASSING LANE AT A CONSTRUCTION SITE ON ROUTE 95 IN RI. THE VEHICLE IN BACK OF ME FAILED TO STOP AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. THE RECLINING MECHANISM ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT FAILED WHICH RESULTED IN ME BEING THROWN INTO THE BACK SEAT CAUSING A BACK INJURY. THE IMPACT FROM BEHIND CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, NEITHER AIRBAG WENT OFF. MY VEHICLE HAD EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO BOTH FRONT AND REAR, THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON RECLINING SEATS FAILING DUE TO REAR IMPACT? I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU COULD PROVIDE.*AK

MY 2001 HYUNDAI IS A LEMON! EVERYTHING IS BREAKING OR HAS BEEN REPAIRED AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO STOP THIS INJUSTICE! CURRENTLY MY ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND CRUISE CONTROL HAVE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED TWICE. TIRES REPLACED. SPEAKERS IN THE CAR REPLACED. DOOR SENSORS REPLACED. SEATBELTS REPLACED. THE PAINT FINISH FAILED AND THE PAINT HAS CHIPPED OFF AND HYUNDAI REFUSES TO CORRECT PROBLEM. EVERY DAY I DRIVE THIS SOMETHING ELSE BREAKS. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE??? I COULD GO ON AND ON WITH PROBLEMS. I PRAY I NEVER GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I AM SURE THE AIRBAGS WON'T WORK EITHER!*AK
