SEATS
THE SEAT TRACK LOCKING SYSTEM DOES NOT ALWAYS HOLD. THE LOCK FAILS THROWING THE SEAT BACKWARDS ON THE TRACK WHEN PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION IN FIRST AND LETTING THE CLUTCH UP TO GO FORWARD. AFTER THE 2ND OCCURRENCE, , AFTER I ADJUSTED THE SEAT I PUSHED THE CONTROL LEVER DOWN FEELING IT CLICK IN. PERFORMING THIS EXTRA CAUTIONARY MOVEMENT HAS NOT ALWAYS HELD THE SEAT IN PLACE. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED THIS JULY, 2002. I WILL TRY TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER AT MY NEXT OIL CHANGE.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
I HAVE HAD SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED THE CAR. TRIED TO RESOLVE THESE WITH HYUNDAI BUT THEY SAID UNLESS THEY WERE CURRNETLY HAPPENING WHEN THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. THE MIRROR WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ON ITS OWN AND SOMETIMES THE ELECTRICAL IN THE CAR WILL ALL GO ON WITHOUT THE CAR BEING ON. THE MALFUNCITON LIGHT LIGHTS UP HERE AND THERE ALSO. ALSO I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY FRONT END SUSPENTION BEING VERY SHAKEY AND MY BRAKES SHAKE WHEN STOPPING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR A YEAR. ONE MORE PROBLEM THAT IT HAS IS A MAJOR BOLT IN THE FRONT SUSPENTION WENT BAD A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR AND SO THE DEALER FIXED THAT BUT THEY SAID IT CAME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE THAT WAY. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS STARTED A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. I HATE MY CAR.*AK
