Example complaints
Transmission and drivetrain: “This car has been taken into the dealer three times in 1992 for transmission problems and has never fixed the problem. There have been several phone calls to dealer in past years but were unable to identify the problem. This car has always had jerking on excelleration, fast idle when doing 20, 30 and 40 MPH. It now stalls and slips out of gear. It has lurched forward in the past from a stop. This car has never run right as far as the transmission is concerned but Hyundai does not want to fix the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #704042, filed 1999-03Body and structure: “Consumer was sold a vehicle from salvage. (according to b1381 the seller was supposed to disclose this info to the consumer) there was a broken motor mount, both cross members were bent, very poor welding on the right side of the subframe, the cover support was bent, the rack and pinion was leaking, the upper tie bar was bent, and the p/s fluid was extremely low.”
NHTSA complaint #10040082, filed 2004-06Electrical system: “This is a used car, I can only assume that the first time the computer failed, was indeed the first time. It initially failed in november of 1999. I replaced it with a used computer which subsequently failed in august of 2000. I am currently having it replaced with a new computer.”
