Actually, they are paid by the job and typically the money paid by
Hyundai for such work is barely enough to break even, if that. That's
one reason why car dealers in general are not fond of doing warranty
work. They make their money on work that gets billed by the hour and on
quick service items like oil changes and scheduled services.

$40??? That dealership qualifies as "moron of the month".

I would think the dealership stands to make a ton of money in labor
costs replacing the engine, so I doubt they will even attempt to try
to replace the entire vehicle. Money makes the world go round, and
even at the expense of others, they will try to suck in as much money
as they can. The Hyundai dealer actually tried to take me to court
because they found out they undercharged me by $40.00 when I bought my
'04 Sonata. Now I wouldn't even let them clean my ash try (if I
smoked) I go to a different dealer

I need your advice!  My sister bought a 2004 Santa Fe last week and
after driving it for one week, the engine seized.  They *think* they
know the cause, but they are not sure.  The dealership tells her all
they can do is replace the engine, then they want to keep it on the
lot for a few weeks to monitor it to make sure there are no more
problems.

My sister is livid.  She bought a new car and traded in an older one
that was no longer reliable.  She thought a brand new car ensured
reliability (I guess not the case!), now she will be stuck with a
lemon.

She is attempting to get the dealership to replace the vehicle (or do
a trade at her loss, since she does not want the lemon).  She called
Hyundai Canada to see what their policy is, and they said they do not
'replace' vehicles, only fix them.  I guess they do not have any kind
of policy that if you own the vehicle for a certain time frame and an
obvious manufacturer/assembly problem causes a problem, you get a
replacement car.

What kind of rights does my sister have in this case?  If they refuse
a trade/replacement vehicle, can she take them or Hyundai Canada to
court and sue to get a new car?

Thanks!
