Hi Nvbanker, Some times, i am not able to start the car. After turning the key, it just chuckles. I am able to start after couple of attempts. I am not able to replicate this. I can see batter indicator on. I even did run it though service man when i went to change my timing belt. They said, they have cleaned some wire which is connected to batter. Everything is ok. In their report, they said battery is very good. Do you think, i need to turn the key fast for engine to start. Do you have any idea.

Hey all - Have not been posting (or reading) much, as per Astrol some pages back. I bought TWO new Hyundai Sonatas in 2000 - both with package 13. I just noticed this post, (below) and had to comment: #2720 of 2930 Re: '00 GLS problem solved [astrol] by roadpilot3 Dec 09, 2004 (8:57 am) Bookmark | Reply Replying to: astrol (Dec 08, 2004 10:34 pm) I had to replace the crank sensor also on 2000 gls Sonata at 60000 miles. A co worker with the same car also needed to have his replaced. Seems it happens quite often. I did the same on one vehicle - as that problem existed from day of delivery. And that same problem was never fully corrected. The other car had paint start to peel. While Hyundai is great for inexpensive transportation, my experience with Hyundai is that the long-term quality is simply NOT there: Hyundai is still a "disposable car." Or, symbolically, this:  Not, of course, for the first five years when the warranty covers everything except the radio, tires, and wipers. After pumping way-too-much money in keeping the Hyundais maintained, I purchased a 2007 Accord I-4 and a 2007 CRV I-4 FWD last month. More expensive than Hyundai, but the difference in build quality is quite evident. Which means, after 7 years, I say good-bye to this forum and go to Honda. Shame - I really loved my Sonatas at first. But that relationship soured with the endless, expensive repairs despite doing routine care religiously. Good luck to you all!
