My Hyundai dealer has refused to honor their 100,000miles, 10 years warranty" many times that I bring the car to be fixed under the warranty since the car was only 8years old and 76,000 miles since 2008. They refuse to fix the problems that I experienced by saying my car is not listed in any recall campaign. Unfortunately this year, on 10/11/12, I took my car for an annual state inspection for 2000 Hyundai Sonata and it fails the safety inspection. Here is what it says: ***vehicle memo*** vehicle is unsafe to drive. . . Rear sub-frame has hole rotted through. . . Due to the current financial situation, I don't know how I will get this car fixed because the car is now 115,000miles and 12 years old and I don't know if they will fix it. They have continuously refused to fix my car under warranty even when it was clearly within the warranty period and I was lucky then that I have been able to pay the fixes out of pocket but I don't have the luxury of paying out of pocket this time. I am in need of miracles now.
Gas light don't work, the odometer don't work, when it rains the car lights dime and the car almost dies. . .
I pulled out into the road from a stop sign and my car loss power as there was oncoming traffic almost coming to a complete stop. I had to come completely off the gas pedal and stop, as I resumed the car began jerking and slowing resuming speed. I was almost rear ended with my kids sitting in the back seat. The also did the same thing again as I begin to drive up a incline/hill, it loss power. I experience this problem at least 3-4 times a week. I have researched that there was an electrical problem in 2000 Hyundai Sonata, v-6 cars and contacted the dealership and that stated that my car was not included in the recall. I was also told that I had several repairs done from previous recalls. I informed the customer service personnel that I had not received any notifications in the mail regarding recalls. I am very concerned for the safety of my family while driving the vehicle as well as my own. Could someone please help me in resolving this issue? I did let capital Hyundai look at my vehicle a while back and was told that my car need to have some sensors replaced at my own expense. If there was a recall on the 2000 model, should they not cover this matter? if the company is showing that there are possible repairs that have already been done based on recalls regarding sensors and electrical issues, are they responsible for making sure the problem is remedied if it didn't correct the problem?.
Transmission input speed sensor failure, this problem is shockingly all over the internet, the sensor fails and if your on the highway, you suddenly slam down in speed to almost half your previous speed with a loud bang as the transaxle jumps from 4th gear to 2nd gear and the engine redlines. Due to the failed sensor telling the transaxle to downshift improperly. A inexperienced or less capable driver may have been thrown out of control from the sheer force of the impact when the transaxle mis-shifts from 4th to 2nd when the sensor malfunctions.
Two big problems, first the current the entire frame on the ride side has completely rusted out and the bottom fell out of the car - before this happened the car was pulling to the right the car was unable to be driven and a frame is hard to locate because I was told this is a common problem with these cars - a 2000 Hyundai shouldn't completely rust from the inside - there is no rust on the car and it was kept in a garage I am in communication with the company to see what will be done, judging from pas experiences - nothing second issue: we had many problems involving the electric system the car would go dead for no apparent reason the car alarm would get stuck and you couldn't get in the car or start it the dashboard lights go in and out (mostly out now).
. On 9/16/05 after coming home from work in the evening, my Hyundai 2000 Sonata had a electrical fire. Luckily I was getting out of the car when everything under the hood exploded into flames.
