BUYERS BEWARE. HYUNDAI HAS PURPOSELY DESIGNED A SAFETY FLAW IN THEIR SONATA REAR DECK BRAKE LIGHTS. WHEN THEY FAIL, YOU HAVE TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET THE LIGHT REPLACED. THIS EXPENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING REQUIREMENT WILL CERTAINLY RESULT IN MANY LIGHTS NOT BEING REPLACED AND MANY POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS. E-MAILS TO HYUNDAI VERIFY THAT THEY PURPOSELY LEFT THE ISSUE OUT OF THEIR OWNERS MANUALS AND YOU CAN PURCHASE A REPAIR MANUAL, HOWEVER THE ACTUAL REMOVAL OF THE LAMP IS TIME CONSUMING AND PAINFUL. DO NOT BUY A HYUNDAI!!

I ran over a truck tire on the highway and cracked my bumper cover. no problem. 2 years later my transmission DIED and was leaking fluid.

I had it towed to Pride Hyundai in seakonk, ma. they said they won't warrintee it because it looks like I hit a curb. Only problem is that it was leaking from the top. If I hit a curb It would leak from the bottom. I called Hyundai corperate many time and all they do is refer back to the dealer.

In the end I did not get anywhere with the dealer or hyundai motors. So I took my car to AAmco transmissions. Did an amazing job but they are scam artists. It cost me 2995.00 for them to rebuild it. Hyundai comes with a 10yr 100000 mile warrentee but it's not worth the paper it's printed on.

My car was only at 15, 000 miles when my transmission went. Do yourself a favor. Spend the extra money to get a honda or toyota.

I swerved to avoid hitting a bear. I lost control and hit a tree head on. Suffered numerous injuries and was flown by helicopter to Kingsport Tennessee from Ky., because of the need for specialized orthopedic surgery. My air bags did not deploy. When I contacted Hyundai they ask for various documents police report, color photographs, inspection forms from the insurance evaluation. The vehicle was a total loss. They sent me a letter asking what I wanted as a settlement, I replied a new car and help with my medical if Medicare and my insurance did not cover. As of now all bills have been covered the accident was 06-06-2008 I have tried many times to try to take care of this matter without any negative results to the Hyundai corp. then I went on line at Hyundai consumer reports and found that there have been hundreds of their air bags that failed to deploy. I guess that explains why I can’t get a reply from their legal dept. I am a fixed income widow. I have had to get transportation to and from all my medical appointments. And I am still not thru.

I received a letter from Hyundai Motor America that my 2000 Tiburon was recalled due to a potential crack in the exhaust manifold. I was stationed in Germany at the time, so I called Hyundai to find out what I could do. The employee told me I could have the repairs done anywhere, and after I sent in receipts I would be reimbursed. I spent four months finding a German Hyundai dealer that would fix the problem. Additionally, during this period there was exhaust fumes leaking into the vehicle and I was pregnant. On May 22, 2006 I mailed Hyundai my receipt along with a letter detailing the ordeal I had gone through and how unhappy I was with the service given. In June I received a Customer Reimbursement Form and a letter stating Hyundai needed a copy of the title to the car. I mailed that information on June 24 and they claim to have received it on July 10. Every week since August I have called Hyundai Consumer Affairs and they tell me they have no information, but they would send an e-mail to Hyundai Corporate to check the status and someone would call me back. The reality is, e-mails were not sent as I was told, and no one calls me back. During one conversation I was told only the Customer Reimbursement Form was received on July 10th. I have mailed them paperwork three times. The cost of the repairs was $1673.53. I consulted a lawyer about the matter. He tried to talk to Hyundai about setting a timeline for when I would receive my reimbursement, but Hyundai refused to cooperate.
