Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / March 2005Jiffylube over filled my 2004 sonata HELP!!
Help... OK here it goes. Yesterday I pulled my 2004 sonata with 7800 miles on it out of a parking space and saw a small puddle of oil. Believed it was from the filter . I had the oil changed at jiffy lute about 8 weeks ago. I took it back to a jiffy lube in the area I was traveling in massacusets. Yes the filter was leaking. The filter was tight and leaking. They also found the oil level about 1.5 quarts to high. They changed the filter and droped the level. The car was running fine before and after the removal of the extra oil. Did the extra 1.5 qts damage the moter that is the question. Jiffy lube in mass did a write up of what they found. Today I spoke to the shop that did the oil change and he told me to call corprate. No sure what to do . Could the moter been damage ? Thanks > Help... OK here it goes. Yesterday I pulled my 2004 sonata with 7800 > miles on it out of a parking space and saw a small puddle of oil.

This is most likely the case, as long as seals were not damaged. I would never take a car to any of these Jiffy-Lube type places. I remember some years ago a friend of mine took her Subaru to Jiffy-Lube for an oil change. The "service technician" proceeded to drain the automatic transmission and dump an additional 4 quarts of oil into the engine! (Needless to say she did not get very far and after much fighting and threatening of lawsuits they paid for the repairs.) We take our Sonata to the dealer for oil changes, the price is competive with Jiffy Lube and they also check for any recalls or computer updates the car might need. (I do the oil changes myself on our other vehicles.) I once took a car to Jiffy Lube, and with the numerous shouting out of commands at the same time from the people in the pit, they got thier signals crossed and accidentally started up my engine without any oil in it...luckily for only 3 seconds. No damage occured. If youre going to take it to such a place, be sure and watch them and your car closely. >I once took a car to Jiffy Lube, and with the numerous shouting out of >commands at the same time from the people in the pit, they got thier >signals crossed and accidentally started up my engine without any oil in >it...luckily for only 3 seconds.

Don't go there at all...just too many horror stories. *-------------------------------* NEVER FORGET!!! http://cf1.newsday.infi.net/911/victimsearchframe.cfm?id=2105 >>I once took a car to Jiffy Lube, and with the numerous shouting out of >>commands at the same time from the people in the pit, they got thier [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > NEVER FORGET!!! > http://cf1.newsday.infi.net/911/victimsearchframe.cfm?id=2105 Exactly. Don't go to Jiffy Lube. First thing they did when checking my air cleaner is throw away the screws that hold it's cover down so they don't have to replace them and won't be bothered by them next time.Then they always claim battery is "sealed" on the receipt even if it's not so they don't have to check or fill it (I have 5 jiffy lube receipts saying battery is "sealed" and it's not, it ran dry and ruined it, they won't do anything about it, they say it would have gone bad anyway.) I called their corporate office to complain and all they'd do is give me $10 off my next oil change so it would be $10 cheaper to get ripped off next time.(If I was stupid enough to go back). Watz da matter dave, are you so friggin cheep ya can't even change youn own oil? Besides the people in the Vette group say that you take it to Walmart for service now.... I can't take time off work to take them to court. > Help... OK here it goes. Yesterday I pulled my 2004 sonata with 7800 miles > on it out of a parking space and saw a small puddle of oil.

I hope you have a copy of ALL receipts for the two Jiffy lub places and the repair cost (itemize) and a copy of the Mass write-up. Corp customer service should want you to mail all copies to them (save origins or at least a good copy). Let us know how you make out. ed >I can't take time off work to take them to court. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> >> Thanks >I can't take time off work to take them to court. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> >> Thanks A local company, Lube Stop stripped the pan on my 2001 Elantra, but paid for the tow and replacement pan. Only goto those fast lube places, unless you like buying a car every year!!!!! > Help... OK here it goes.
