runs straight.
Could you give tips that allow to detect which one of these is worn?

I was driving my 03 Accent with 110k miles in traffic yesterday and it
sputtered and died.
 I have tried to start it a few times since and it spins over but shows no
signs of life.

When I use the remote to lock the car doors, the rear passenager door
lock makes a LOUD buzzing noise and the latch sometimes does not move.
It also sometimes makes the noise when opening the doors using the remote.
Compared to the normal click as the doors lock, the buzzing is ...

I had the axles replaced at 130,000 miles and sometime after that I noticed
a slight shimmy/shudder while under acceleration at about 23 miles an hour.
Any ideas? The vehicle has had reasonable maintenance and is in great

This morning, my 2001 Accent was rear-ended by another Hyundai, an
XG350. This was a relatively low impact rear offset crash, bumper to
bumper, with the only visible damage being the scratches on my
bumper. I'm inclined to just forget about it -- this 6 year old car

the speed signal does not reach it due to an intermittent contact
between the tachometer and the device that generates the signal.

I drained the auto transmission since I was replacing the axles, and was not
sure how many US Quarts to put in. I suspect that the 7 quarts listed in the
manual pertains to the dry filling quantity.  Is it about 3?  It looks about
full with only that many quarts. I would like to ...
