Vehicle has been in to dealer several times for service, trans. Slips, free wheels, bucks, brakes twice have not worked until minutes after pedal pressed to floor, then pop when accelerating, dealer unable to reproduce?? so they won't fix/investigate problems, they have, however, replaced parts for manual windows that were falling down. Nlm.
The dealer has replaced the electrical component that controls the transmission, but it did not fix the problem. I am now being told that they have no idea when they will get a reconditioned one in, but I can get a brand new one in October. Both the dealer and Hyundai have been totally unconcerned that I need this car to make a trip to help my disabled family members in ohio. I have now asked for a loaner vehicle to make the trip. And I am waiting to hear from them on that. I am following the steps necessary in case I need to proceed with a lawsuit based on the lemon law.
This vehicle has been in for service 5 times between 18feb and 3jun of 2002. I am very dissatisfied with this vehicle.
