OWNER RETAINED FAILED FILTER AS EVIDENTIARY.

I WENT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY ENGINE RECALL REPLACED. MY CAR WOULD NOT START THE FOLLOWING DAY I GOT MY CAR BACK AFTER THE REPAIRS. THE ENGINE CAUSED MY STARTER TO GO OUT. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HONOR FIXING IT SO I HAD TO PAY FOR THOSE CHARGES WHICH I THINK SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY HYUNDAI INTERSTATE.

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ALWAYS START WHEN TURNING THE KEY. I RECENTLY HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED, THINKING THE OLD BATTERY WAS GOING BAD. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO HELP IS CHANGING FROM THE PARKING POSITION TO THE DRIVE GEAR, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY SWITCHING BACK TO PARK, ALL WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. THEN THE CAR WILL START UP. SO IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR COMPUTER DOES NOT ALWAYS CORRECTLY RECOGNIZE THE GEAR THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS SPORADICALLY.

THE TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENS BY ITSELF - NO PRESSING ON THE FOB. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING BUT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS EITHER BEEN JUST TURNED ON OR OFF. TRUNK CAN BE CLOSED WHEN WALKING AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE BUT OPEN WHEN YOU RETURN. THE LATCH HAS BEEN REPLACED IN CASE THERE WAS A DEFECT BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THEN. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING, ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CAN'T SEE OUT THE BACK WINDOW AND HAVE TO PULL OVER AS SOON AS YOU CAN SAFELY DO IT - NOT A GOOD SITUATION ON A HIGHWAY. TWO DIFFERENT HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS COMPLAINT BUT THE INTERNET IS FULL OF SUCH STORIES, ESPECIALLY THE ELECTRA MODELS.

CARFAX IS SHOWING AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE THAT WAS POSTED ON 11/8/16. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 946. WHEN I PULL THE VIN NUMBER ON YOUR WEB SITE, IT STATES 0 RECALLS REPORTED. I KNOW THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED YET BECAUSE I WORK AT A HYUNDAI DEALER AND I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM AUCTION. WHICH AM I SUPPOSE TO GO BY? CARFAX OR YOUR WEB SITE. WHICH IS SHOWING THE CORRECT INFORMATION? PLEASE HELP. *TR

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE WHEN THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED. THERE WAS BROKEN GLASS EVERYWHERE. I HAVE A PICTURE BUT I NEED HELP TO SEND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS VANDALISM, BUT THE ENTIRE GLASS WAS SHATTERED AND THE WAS NO PROJECTILES IN THE AREA.

THE CAR DEALERSHIP JUST CHANGED A PART ON THE CAR IN HOPES TO FIX THE ISSUES I'VE HAD THE LAST 4-5 TIMES THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I HAVE REPORTED THIS AS WELL TWO WEEKS AGO. THIS PARTICULAR EVENT, WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, ALL LIGHTS ON DASH LIT UP AND WOULD NOT RESTART. A BURNT SMELL FILLED THE CAB AND I THOUGHT IT MAY BE MY BATTERY. HOOKED UP CABLES, LET IT CHARGE, TRIED TURNING IT OVER AND IT DID NOT.
