STRUCTURE:BODY
THE HOOD LATCH IS INCREDIBLY RUSTY AND NOW IS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. THE HOOD IS NO LONGER PROPERLY LATCHING CLOSED WHICH COULD CAUSE IT TO FLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING. WHEN CLOSED IT SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS LOCKED BUT UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION IT IS NOT LATCHING. I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM A WHILE BACK BUT WITH SOME EFFORT WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE THE LATCH. NOW I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO CORRECT THE ERROR AND I'LL HAVE TO GET IT REPLACED.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND JERKS GOING TO THIRD GEAR AND SOMETIMES TAKES ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO DOWNSHIFT IF ACCELERATION IS NEEDED AS I'M ENTERING A HIGHWAY. MY CAR HAD ABOUT 45,000 MILES WHEN THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ACCORDING TO ONLINE FORUMS BUT THE MANUFACTURE WOULD NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
59,600 MILES IN CAR. PARKED CAR FOR NIGHT, NEXT MORNING TURNED VEHICLE ON AND EPS AND ESC OFF LIGHTS WERE ON. VEHICLE HAD NO POWER STEERING AND WAS HARD TO TURN IF NOT MOVING. RECALL ON EPS SOFTWARE WAS DONE 11 MONTHS AGO. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE PROBLEMS WERE DIAGNOSED AS BAD SENSORS. THAT'S NOT BAD UNTIL THEY TELL YOU SENSORS THEMSELVES CANNOT BE REPLACED AND YOU NEED TO HAVE A COMPLETE NEW STEERING COLUMN INSTALLED AT $2,500. YES THE CAR IS 8 YEARS OLD, BUT ONLY 59,600 MILES. LOOKING AT COMPLAINTS, THIS IS A PROBLEM HYUNDAI SHOULD ADDRESS.
