ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SUSPENSION
WE OWN A HYUNDAI 2001 XG300 WHICH HAS SEVERE CORROSION AND RUST ON THE SUB FRAME. SINCE NOVEMBER, WE HAD DIFFERENT WORK PERFORMED ON THE CAR. ALL THE MECHANIC HAVE SAID THAT THE CORROSION AND RUST IS SEVERE AND IS EFFECTING THE SUSPENSION AND OTHER MOUNTINGS TO THE FRAME. THE CARBON EMISSION EVAPORATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT TO MOUNT HAD TO USE PLASTIC ZIP TIES DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF RUSTS AND HOLES IN THE FRAME. THE DEALERSHIP MECHANICS HAVE STATED THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE REAR TIRE IS NOT FULLY ATTACHED AND NEED WELDING WORK TO BE PERFORMED. THIS IS DUE TO THE SEVERE CORROSION. THE CONTROLLER ARM OF THE REAR RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BOTH REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM WERE REPLACED. THE REGIONAL DISTRICT MANAGER FOR THE NORTHEAST SAYS THIS IS NORMAL CORROSION FOR A 10 YEAR OLD CAR. *TR

I HAVE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR SINCE AFTER PURCHASE IN 2007. HYUNDAI CASE #3479162 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS GOING ON AND STAYING ON UNLESS THE BATTERY WOULD DIE.FAILED EMISSIONS SAID TO BE CAUSED BY AIR SENSORS BUT CODES KEPT GETTING WHIPPED OUT.CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER COUNTLESS TIMES! CAR LUNGES THRASHING MOTION WHILE AT A STOP OR DRIVING.THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES,THE FIRST TIME THE LUNGING HAPPENED I THOUGHT I WAS OUT OF GAS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE VIOLENT THRASHING THAT OCCURRED/S. MY CARS CONTROL PANEL,HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM,SHUT OFF AT WILL. ALL RADIO & CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS COME ON AND GO OFF AT ANY TIME.THE RADIO STARTS CHANGING FROM FM TO AM TO CD AT ANY GIVEN TIME INCLUDING WHILE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND UNATTENDED. THE TAIL LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS ALSO TURN ON/OFF BY THEMSELVES WHETHER DRIVING THE CAR OR IF THE CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE TO GET MY CAR JUMPED EVERY TIME I GO TO START IT .IT WASN'T UNTIL EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT A NEIGHBOR CAME TO LET ME KNOW THAT I LEFT MY LIGHTS ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I KNEW NOBODY HAD BEEN IN MY CAR BECAUSE I WAS RECOVERING FROM A MAJOR SURGERY AND MY CAR KEYS ARE ALWAYS WITH ME. THIS INCIDENT WITH THE NEIGHBOR SHED LIGHT ON PART OF THE PROBLEM. NOW I KNOW WHY MY BATTERY IS CONSTANTLY DEAD.I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY THE CAR IS TURNING ON IT'S ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.THE ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY DRAIN HAS CAUSED THE CODES FOR THE CAR TO KEEP BEING ERASED SO THERE IS NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE CAUSE FOR THE CHECK ENGINE /AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON. IT'S FRIGHTFUL THAT THE LIGHTS GO ON OR OFF, DAY OR NIGHT, WITHOUT CAUSE.THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE NIGHT DRIVING! THE STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING CAUSES COMPLETE LOSS OF THE STEERING/BRAKESCONTROLS AND ALL POWER. I AM TERRIFIED OF HWY DRIVING NOW! I COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT MAY KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE!THE THRASHING AND LUNGING OF THE CAR SCARES ME. THE ELECTRICAL IS GOING ON AT LEAST 8X DAY/NITE. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
WRITER HAS A 2003 SONATA. MY DRIVERS REAR CALIPER WOULD WEAR DOWN THE BRAKE PADS VERY FAST AND THE OTHERS WOULD BE LIKE NEW. AFTER 2 VISITS THE CALIPER WAS REPLACED. AFTER 2 DAYS OF SITTING IN THE GARAGE I'D BACK THE CAR UP AND HEAR GRINDING. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS JUST RUST ON THE ROTOR AND IT STOPPED AFTER DRIVING A FEW MINUTES. AFTER BEING PUT IN STORAGE OVER THE SUMMER TO DRIVE MY SPORTS CAR DURING THE SUMMER I WENT TO DRIVER THE SONATA. WHILE SITTING IN THE WAREHOUSE DURING SUMMER ALL FOUR ROTORS RUSTED UP BEYOND BEING ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR SAFELY. AND THE FRONT CALIPERS SEIZED UP. THE ROTORS LOOKED LIKE THE CAR HAD 150,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE MY SPORTS CAR STORED IN THE SAME PLACE THROUGH WINTER AND THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE FINE IN SPRING. THE GENERAL MANAGER FROM THE DEALER SAYS THEY WILL CHECK IT OUT AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 50000 MILE ON IT. I'VE NEVER SEEN A CARS ROTORS AND BRAKES DO THIS. NEITHER HAS THE MECHANICS I FIRST TOOK IT TO. THE MECHANIC DROVE IT AND HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
MY 2003 HYUNDAI SANTA FE HAS 71,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCH. NOW FROM DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE I FIND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I AM A PART TIME STUDENT, AND WORK A FULL TIME JOB, BUT REPLACING MY CLUTCH IS A BIT EXPENSIVE AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I CAN AFFORD IT. IF MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING CLUTCH OR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL? *JB
