Would not start, lights worked. Tow truck driver checked battery,alternator, suspected starter. Towed over 100 miles home. (contacted Hyundai road service, only tows to dealer. ) called dealer to check if covered under warranty. Informed it was not. Towed to local mechanic who checked charging system and found alternator and battery good, but starter was bad. Removed and installed a new Hyundai starter. Re the America's best warranty 60/000-100,000: one would think that Hyundai would have covered this replacement with only 52 miles over 60,000.
