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

Well, the Scangauge I bought is working great, and I thought I'd share the
new tank of gas mileage with the group.
In -pure- city driving, and we're talking not any free speed length of more
than a quarter mile, ninety percent on stop and go with lights and

My wife has a 2001 Elantra GLS that she bought new. Anyway, when it
was still under warranty the stereo (AM/FM/CD) began to turn itself on
all by itself. Sometimes the radio would come on, sometimes the CD
section, even if there was no CD in the slot.

A while back, I allowed some nitwit to remove my tires to check the
brakes on my 2001 Accent. In the process, he damaged the chrome
plating on several lug nuts, and now they are badly corroded. I'd like
to replace them, but a lot of literature I read seem to say that an

A co-worker is looking to buy a used Santa Fe. From reading online he
feels that the '03 and newer ones are of good quality. The '02 and
earlier ones, not so much. Any opinions on this?
I have an '03 Accent that is about to hit 100K miles and I'm quite

  Does anyone out there know where someone could
purchase the ac compressor clutch parts ( Coil pack, pulley, ) for a 2004
Santa Fe 2.7L V6?   The salvage
yards around me don't have any Santa Fe's in stock.

Do you guys recommend buying a Hyundai ?

V6.  drive a camry and thinking about selling it and getting a 2007 or
2008 sonata V6. retired but work for hertz part time and of all the cars
we have in the $20000.00 to $25000.00 price range the sonata V6  is ...

Cruise control working. Multi led brake lights non-oem were holding 3v  
even when not lit. The cruise control stuff needs to see 0v ( I guess to  
know that the brakes are not on ). Replaced bulbs with standard part and  
cruise now works.

     All of a sudden this morning my sister's 99 Elantra transmission
will not shift into reverse. Also the transmission will not shift out
of first gear. Last night when she came home everything was fine with
the car. The check engine light has not come on yet, but I will try to

Yesterday the interior lights, the key buzzer, and the garage door opener on
my wife's '05 Santa Fe all quit working.
My first thought was fuses which all appear to be fine.
Any thoughts?

Wondering if anyone else was having these or similar issues
surrounding the ETAC unit?

Hyundaitech, you provided some much-appreciated comments on timing belt
changes for my 2005 Tucson (which I'm rapidly approaching with 59,300
