VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
OUR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP OR DOWN A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE DEALER REPLACED THE WINDOW MOTOR. NOW, OUR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS DOING THE SAME THING...IT WILL NOT RAISE OR LOWER. WE WILL HAVE TO TAKE MORE TIME OFF FROM WORK TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS IS AT LEAST OUR SEVENTH WARRANTY REPAIR SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THREE TIMES IN FIVE DAYS, MY 2000 HYUNDAI WAS IN THE SHOP - TWO OF THESE TIMES IT HAD TO BE TOWED WHILE I WAITED ALONE ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. FIRST I WAS TOLD THAT THE THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE CAR WAS OKAY. I TOOK IT BACK THE DAY FOLLOWING AND EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS NOT IDLING CORRECTLY. I RECEIVED IT BACK THE FOLLOWING DAY AND WITHIN 10 MILES OF DRIVING WAS HAVING SURGES IN THE ENGINE AND THE RPM'S WOULD RACE INTO THE RED. I PULLED OVER AND THE DEALER TOLD ME TO SLOWLY DRIVE THE CAR BACK. I TRIED, BUT NEVER MADE IT. THE CLOSER I GOT, THE WORSE THE CAR BUCKED AND THE RPM'S RACED. I FINALLY TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AS I DECIDED WHETHER TO CONTINUE ON OR PULL OVER, BUT BEFORE I COULD DECIDE, MY CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. I QUICKLY GOT THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY AND INTO THE GRASS. THE RPM'S STILL ERRATIC AND THE CAR IDLED AT 2.5-3 RPM'S. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP AND IS NOT SAFE. DEALERSHIP STILL CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.*AK

NAR 2/10/2003. THE VEHICLE REQUIRED TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AFTER ONLY 32,000 MILES. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICE AT 29,566 THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT OIL WAS IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THEREFORE THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER HAD THE REPAIRS DONE BY A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO FOUND THAT THE BEARING ON THE TRANSFERSHAFT WAS FALLING APART, BURNING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH CAUSED THE BROWN COLOR. THE LEFT FRONT WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL UP. *JB
