IT BEGAN WITH A RATTLE LIKE METAL ON METAL WHEN GOING UPHILL. IT IS NOW A VERY BAD RATTLE WHEN ACCELERATING. WHETHER UPHILL OR NOT. CAUSE UNKNOWN WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM.

ENGINE
MY VALVES HAVE BEEN RATTLING UPON EXCELLERATION OR CLIMBING A HILL. I TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC. WHILE WAITING THE SALES BUZZARDS STARTED CIRCLING. AFTER FINALLY BREAKING AWAY FROM THEM I WENT TO GET RESULTS OF MY TEST. THE TECHNICHAN TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR AND GOOD THING I WAS TRADING IT IN. I TOLD HIM I WASNT TRADING IT IN AND THEN HE SAID I NEED TO DO A FEW MORE TESTS. OF COURSE WHEN HE CAME BACK IT WAS A DIFFERENT STORY. I NEEDED PLUGS. MY CAR STILL HAS SAME PROBLEM. THEY ARE WAITING AND HOPING MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT IN 10000 MORE MILES. WHY ISNT THERE A RECALL ON THIS MOTOR??????

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ALL POWER WENT OUT STEERING BECAME HARD AND BRAKES BECAME HARD. AND SOMETHING SMELLED AS IF IT WAS BURNING. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS OF THE CAR AND BARELY DRIVE IT. IT WAS PURCHASED 2 YEARS AGO AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE IS KEPT ON THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY WE DON'T HAVE A WARRANTY ON THE CAR ANY LONGER AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND AS WELL AS COST MY DAUGHTER HER LIFE IF SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO CONTROL THE CAR WHEN EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN IN TRAFFIC. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EQUIPMENT
VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH HANDS-FREE CALLING AND VOICE ACCESS TO CALLING LOCATED ON STEERING WHEEL. THESE FUNCTIONS DO NOT WORK UNLESS THE RADIO IS FIRST TURNED ON. IN ADDITION, CALLS CANNOT BE MADE FROM THE CONSOLE BY PRESSING THE PHONE BUTTON UNLESS THE RADIO IS ACTIVATED FIRST - NO ACTIONS OCCUR WHEN FIRST PRESSING THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS OR THE CONSOLE PHONE BUTTON, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CONSTITUTES A DISTRACTION FOR THE DRIVE IN ANY EMERGENCY SITUATION WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THERE IS NO CHANGE IN THIS FUNCTION FOR A STATIONARY VEHICLE. INCOMING CALLS ARE AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVED TO THE CONSOLE OR STEERING WHEEL. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS AFFECTS SEVERAL MODEL YEARS, *TR
