We were driving the vehicle along and all of a sudden, with no warning lights or anything, the vehicle died.when we opened the hood, antifreeze had sprayed everywhere.we had it towed to a local dealer as requested by the warranty company.it took weeks for the warranty rep to inspect the vehicle.there was also a crack in the top of the radiator.the shop first told us that we caused the crack by being involved in a collision - which never took place.the warranty company wanted a tear down of the engine (which we ended up having to pay for) and decided to deny our claim.they stated that we allowed the engine to overheat once the thermostat (a warranty covered item) failed.we had no way of knowing of the thermostat problem and no warning lights ever came on and the temperature gauge stayed within normal range until the vehicle died.we stated that there was no way for us to know about the thermostat and thought that perhaps the temperature gauge was malfunctioning.the warranty company stated that since the rep turned it on and it went to the top that it worked fine...wrong b/c it didn't work at the time of the incident.however, the warranty company paid for the radiator replacement (which was only caused by the thermostat going bad). Why would they pay for the secondary damage without paying for the original cause of the problem - the thermostat and temp gauge.in the end, we had to replace the engine on our own - but with the warranty company's radiator.i am very disappointed that i bought a warranty for purposes like this and yet was not treated fairly nor given a proper explanation.
While driving heard a loud noise,vehicle was overheating which was caused by a bearing inwater pump thatwent bad and went out.
While driving at 55 mph and without any indication, vehicle lost all power. Soon after, smoke was coming from under the hood. Consumer pulled vehicle over, looked under the hood and added water to engine, vehicle would not restart. Dealer has been contacted and refused to repair vehicle due to no radiator cap.the cap was on when the vehicle blew up. The dealer will replace the engine.the water pump froze and burned the motor.no warning lights illuminated to indicate a problem.*jg

For more than two years i have been complaining to my dc-area hyundai dealership that my car is burning or leaking oil but they failed to diagnose problem, apparently to avoid fixing it under the warranty.it is extremely dangerous for me to drive my vehicle but hyundai will not honor its much hyped warranty and fix my car and even the district office insists that i keep driving it for its third and *unnecessary* oil consumption test.previously my engine failed leaving me stranded in the utah desert following work on my car by two other hyundai dealers to avoid fixing my car before its first warranty period expired.hyundai lies about its warranty: it promises the world on tv ads and reneges in private.
Reported problem to hyundai, they said they knew but cannot fix it.

Whenevervehicle has shifted into gear it would stall out. Have taken to dealership to have mechanic check it out.consumer states vehicle has to be warmed in the summer and winter or it will stall, dealer informed consumer that nothing could be done.
I have a hyundai accent 2000 3 door hatchback in may had to have the entire fuel system flushed out $500 called hyundai before i repaired said that item was not part of a current campaign for my vin number however similar problems have been reported by numerous parties. August 1, 2005 three days after roadside assistance ended car died defective o2 sensor melted the shroud, exhaust manifold and catalytic converter, also engine coil repairs so far 1500 (hyundai says parts aren't under warranty any more) now the computer is bad on the phone with hyundai tech support for three hours testing, they gave up never called back, hyundai said not their problem. Currently i have no vehicle and it will cost 250 to tow to hyundai dealer about 60 miles away hyundai will not pay for the towing even though car has safety defects/recalls that need to be fixed. So i guess i am better off without my hyundai then driving around my two children in a death trap.
The vehicle was recalled for the pcv valve and hose (recall # 01v-346000) but the parts have not been available for the past six months.*nlm

My cars fuel tank is now giving me problems. When i pull up to the pump get gas the car says its empty but when fueling the car constantly clicks saying its full. I have to keep taking the pump in and out of the car to reseal it then try again and again and most times again.when the gas attendants see what car i own and the trouble i have they say its a known issue with hyundai's in general and does not matter what model. It's very irritating when i can only get a few dollars at a time because it takes so much time. My brother is a mechanic and said he gets these all the time. There has to be more people complaining about this.not sure if anyone else has this problem but i did research the database here and did not find any recalls regarding this issue.

In snow, icy or wet road conditions this unpredictable loss of rpm's and power train response makes car handling and control very difficult.we are aware of other complaints logged on auto forums in the usa and that is why we are reporting this to draw attention to a potentially much bigger problem.we have had this vehicle in for warranty repair 8 times over 10 months.they say they have never heard of this problem, yet there are other internet reports of the same problem.they say they cannot fix it, which means, difficult to control cars are on the road.we hope this helps the us consumers identify this problem in an import vehicle in your country.

Changing gears when the gear shift let go . I had no more gears couldn't drive. Turns out the shifter rod goes into the transmission and is held in place with a shear pin. Shear pin broke i had to replace transmission pins are not supposed to break according to a hyundai mechanic. But lately they have had a few vehicles with the same problem i think this should be a recall. It cost me 900 because of a pin that's not supposed to break. Thank you for listening . I hope you can do something about it. Thank you.
Had car repaired or so thought/started driving and car's gear shift isn't where it should be and car is running very rough.
Initially, the shift would "get stuck" between first and second gear.they kept taking the car back, saying they were going to "look at it" or "we found a little part and fixed it"..this went on until they stated they put in a new transmission.when this did not help, they said they could no longer do anything because the problem could not "duplicated" for them.the problem continued for months.i came close to having an accident when i couldn't get into reverse one time, to get out of the way of traffic.i continued to stay in touch...they told me that they couldn't do anything, because they never could find the problem.they finally called me a couple of months ago and admitted that hyundai had sent them some info about a problem with shifting in first and second gear, and that they could fix it.we took the car back.they "fixed" it so well that when i got it home, it would "pop" from fifth gear to neutral while i was driving...they took it back, "fixed it again"...said it was a "worn nut" or something.now the car makes a "chain type sound" and bumps while in first and second gear...this has happened about ten times over the past five days.they said they can't do anything because they can't "duplicate" the problem....please help...i might be dead before the problem is ever "duplicated" to these people....they won't keep the car long enough to fix it.i think they feel it's "our problem."
