Value, warranty, design keys to Hyundai success
South Korean automaker Hyundai is about to turn the page on its most
recent and highly successful chapter of history in the U.S. and begin a
new chapter.

I have a 2001 Sonata and both the brake and charging light turn on and
off together intermittently (every few minutes). When it happens I hear
a small click (almost like a turning signal sound, but only once and
much fainter).

I have a 2000 Accent 1.5L that I recently changed the transmission
range selector due to a check engine light and overdrive does not work.
After changing out the range selector the check engine light is off but
still no overdrive (revs @ 3500rpm at 60mph!).

I read that after about 3 years the battery may need to be replaced. It will
be obvious when you have to press the lock button more than once. I replaced
the battery when I had to press the button more than once. Actually, I was
buying a Seiko watch and asked the sales person to ...

HT or anyone,
Have you been involved with any of the rear suspension "K-Thunking" problem
yet? If so, has it been resolved or at least diagnosed?
On some other forums I monitor, the natives are getting restless!

My 2002 Santa Fe with 37,000 miles has developed an intermittent howl
from I think somewhere in the front end. The sound is like metal on
metal without lubrication. The car has been to the dealer 3 times, but
of course they never hear the noise. Sometimes it occurs when the car ...

Is the Tucson all that much better than the Santa Fe ?
I have been offfered, by a Hyundai dealer, a substantial discount from
the sticker price of a 2005 (not 2007) Santa Fe. It looks nice and
works for me.

I have the 4cyl GLS. Seemed to remember the dealer telling me that in
addition to the scheduled oil changes (he said 3500 miles, but I see
7500 in the manual), something had to be done at 30k. I thought it was
the auto transmission fluid or a belt, but do not see anything that is

I have a July 98 Sonata Levant which has the ABS & TCS warning lights
always on.  The local dealer recommends that I replace the ABS pump for
around $5K.
How can I determine if it really is a fault with the pump?

we are thinking of purchasing a used 2000 accent with 85,000kms(canada)on
it.
the car is in good shape but i have a question.
when i checked the automatic transmission fluid it was brown,not the usual

I have never spilt fuel on my vehicle, yet I have just noticed the feul door
is faded and slightly discolored.  Will waxing this help or is a replacement
necessary?  Is this a warranty covered item?

Do the subject vehicles have timing belts or chain?  Do they use
interference engines?

Hi, anyone know if a kit is available or whatever to get the side, door
mirrors powered so they can be folded back with a switch inside the car. The
vehicle is a new Sonata V6.
cheers,

I have a 2000 Sonata 2.4L and in the last few days I've noticed a very
slight ticking or clicking sound but only during acceleration. It
doesn't happen as I'm just driving along at a constant speed. Its hard
to tell where its coming from but it sounds like the left side engine

My Sonata rolled over 10K on Friday so today was oil change and tire
rotation day.  A few observations and comments:
1. The care has been very trouble-free during this time.  I've really
only had one issue that required a visit to dealer (the noise in the
