I don't know what it is but I seem to be a target for people who like to talk smack about Hyundais. Usually I'm able to get them to understand that they're darn good cars but every now and again I get the type who pretty much says, "You're an idiot and have no idea what kind of car you're driving." And it's usually ignorant people who haven't been paying...

As a 4 year Hyundai salesman and a new member to this forum, I was wondering what people thought of us compared to other salespeople from other makes. I have been told many times that we show an enthusiasm and general concern that Toyota, Honda and GM sales professionals cannot match. Thoughts?

Hi. I am Canadian and looking to purchase a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited in the United States. I have found a dealer selling essentially a brand new vehicle as used (odometer 16 miles) for significantly less than elsewhere. Upon talking to their sales staff I have been told that it is a Class 2 vehicle. Apparantly upon final inspection at Hyundai's factory if there is any damage to the...

I want to tint the side / back windows in my Sonata.. I see several do it yourself kits on the internet auction site.. are they any good, hard to install or is it just better to visit a good window tint business and let them do it? A, looking for thoughts and comments...

Hello Everyone,

I originally posted some of this in the Santa Fe forum however it really applies to all of us Hyundai owners. Maybe we can help each other out in listing what aftermarket suppliers you may know of.

Are we really stuck with Korean Auto Imports as our only real source for parts? I havent had any problems with them, but it seems that they have a corner on the...

hi guys,

I'm looking for a few good hyundai mechanics! I work with a newly launching autos site (it helps people out at the early stages when they are trying to figure out which car fits their needs). We feature lots of reviews for each car. We're focusing right now on reviews from mechanics. We pay $10 per generation (in series of 5 reviews/$50) for a review...

I'm moving from the US to Canada and taking my Hyundai. Do you know what I have to do to adapt my 2008-2009 Sonata so that it conforms to Canadian law that says you must have daytime running lights?

Thanks,
tbell

A few days ago I bought a used 01 Accent and since I have no idea what the service history is, I went to the dealer and they brushed me off...
They claim that the service history is similar to medical information and thus protected similarly to privacy act info.
The car has 106k miles and runs well but who knows if the timing belt has been replaced or if recalls were done, they will only...

i visited Kingscross Hyundai dealership in Scarborough on May 24,2008. I paid $1000 disposit for a new Accent sport hatchback. However the sale told me to wait around 1 week and I would get my car. I've been waiting since and the car is still not arrived.
Does anyone know what exactly happen? Do we have a shortage of Accent?

I couldnt do poll...but what I wanted to ask was...which name do you guys like better: Hannah, Ashley, or Sarah?

And what do you name your Hyundai?

I bought a Hyundai Getz car from gortanoto.com seller from Turkey. After buying this car, I went to the service 2 times. In the first time, the reason was traffic accident. They didn’t want to repair the car because the the insurance company of the car which hit me from the back side of my car was not in their supported insurance company list and they told me to go to another service. Then I...

Greetings,
I would like to send an email to this guy who is the VP for Product Development & Strategic Planning. Does anyone know where I can get it?
Thanks!

Seeing most of the other auto makers had a really bad June how did Hyundai do? I've not seen sales figures as of yet nor can I find them online.

I talked to my dealership while in for service and they said the Elantra is flying off the lot!

Thanks!

Hello all!

'05 Sonata GLS V6, but I imagine it's not specific to this vehicle.

We've been having a sporadic 'whistle' coming from under the engine hood. I pinpointed it to this part (see picture). The whistle will change pitch and stop when I tap on the component or wiggle the wire harness.

It's located on the fender wall on the...

Bought new 2008 Accent GLS. I know that the factory recommends QS 5W30, but I've read that some of you recommend Mobile 1. Any updated thoughts?

My girlfriend bought a used 07 Hyundia Tuscon about 4 months back. I have heard that since she bought it used she doesnt get the remainder of the 10/100,00 warranty, she only gets the remainder of 5/50,000 warranty. Can anyone tell me for sure what kind of warranty she has left? Also she did not buy it used from a Hyundia dealer, not sure if that matters or not.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Is there a place online where we can find part numbers for Hyundai vehicles? I have an account with HMAService.com but I can't seem to find part numbers whenever I browse the catalog/manual.

Any help is always appreciated.

Hello Friends,

My girlfiend has a 2000 Elantra. She recently developed the clicking sound when turning that is associated with faulty CV joints. I inspected the car this weekend and found that the outboard CV boot on the passenger side had split. It had split cleanly around the small part of the joint similar to this one


Knowing she had the 10/100 powertrain warranty,...

I contacted a dealer that sells the bluetooth unit that installs into various hyundai models in the sunglasses holder. The unit is sold without instructions and most dealerships in my are unfamiliar with the installation. The seller told me that specific instructions are on Hyundaidealer.com. The catch is that you have to have access to this site meaning you have to take it to the dealer.

Hi, I'm a new college graduate as of this week and I'm going to be

Hi...I've searched with the word "microfiche" and no results coming up.

Is there a microfiche that Hyundai has online somewhere?

I check the http://hmaservice.com/ site however don't believe they have one.

What's the f-ugliest, stinkiest or weirdest car you have owned?

While the Toyota hybrid juggernaut marches on, and European automakers continue to lean on diesel to boost fuel economy, Hyundai is taking the simple low-cost route. Timothy White, senior manager of the powertrain department at Hyundai-Kia America’s Technical Center outside Ann Arbor, Mich., told Automotive News that it would meet new stricter fuel economy standards with incremental improvements....

Hi everyone,

I'm sure some of you use the Bumper Badger or similar to keep your car's rear end scuff-free.

Since it is made of rather hard rubber, repeated use on a dirty bumper will, over time, create scratches. I got tired of buffing those scratches out.

I bought a bunch of 3M felt pads - the ones you stick on furniture feet to protect hardwood flooring -...

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! I just bought a 2004 Santa Fe 3.5L that has 3 obnoxious "Home Link" buttons on the rear view mirror. They can apparently control up to 3 different remote's frequencies so I can conveniently re-position my mirror every time use it. I figure I might as well use it if I have it (and not have the permanent garage door remote...

Hi guys, Just moved to Toronto Area!

I am looking for this forum's advice on the most helpful and honest Hyundai Shop where I can get my car serviced.

As far as what gives them the right to do this is beyond me.

Hi folks,

I have a 2004 Santa Fe I am considering trading in. It has 93,000 kms on it and is still in great shape. It is an auto FWD.
I am curious to know what it might be worth as a trade in.
I still have a couple thousand left owing on it.

Ya know, why does a trip to dealer ALWAYS have to be such a crap-shoot? I mean, sometimes it goes well, but more often, it's like going into battle. Such is usually the case for me since I'm a repair shop's worst nightmare. I'm an ASE-certified auto tech (retired) with over 25 years of experience in the business. It never ceases to amaze me how these shops try to get away with...

My girlfriend has a 2002 Sante Fe with the 2.7L V6 engine. It has just turned 100,000 miles. I'm wondering what others have experienced out there with this specific vehicle after 100,000 miles or so. In other words, if properly maintained, will this car keep going reliably or is it going to start falling apart? So far I've had the front stearing ball joints replaced, the transmission...

Is it my impression that Hyundai cars aren't comfortable to tall+big drivers? I test drove the sonata, the santa fe and the entourage today. While I think they are all great cars I came out with the impression that comfort for 6'+ tall drivers in all three cars isn't the best. I couldn't find the right seat adjustment (all three cars had power driver seat) to feel comfortable. It...

Hello,

I have a 2002 Santa Fe' that had a power steering leak. My local shop found the leak. It was in the line that runs near the radiator. Their "fix" was to cut out the portion of the line that ran under the radiator and using a rubber hose, they connected the lines back together.

My question is with the section of the power steering line they cut out...
