#2677 of 3021 Re: 15K Scheduled Maintenance [togrove] by backy Sep 14, 2008 (6:35 pm)
Replying to: togrove (Sep 14, 2008 6:00 pm) All the dealership would know is whether the 15k service was performed at a Hyundai dealership or not; they track service visits in their computer system. You of course can have the service performed anywhere you wish. If your local Midas shop has good mechanics, go for it. I've noticed some car repair shops in my area advertise that they do the service intervals on cars, i.e. they are "full service" shops. But be sure to keep a detailed record of any service you have done other than at a Hyundai dealership (actually keeping ALL service records is a good idea), including receipts for parts, and be sure any parts used including the oil filter are OEM spec.

#2678 of 3021 High Brake Pedal - 2008 Sonata I4 by daveinqueens Sep 15, 2008 (1:45 pm)
I was at the Hyundai Dealer today complaining about the Brake and Accelerator Pedals. The brake pedal is too high and I asked the mechanic to lower it. The mechanic says that it's a new safety feature on all new cars and he cannot lower the brake pedal.   My foot and ankle ache after about an hour of driving. I am so used to simply sliding my foot from the gas pedal to the brake pedal. Now I have to continually raise my foot to reach the brake.   Any suggestions?

#2679 of 3021 Cruise Control Problem by patches1759 Sep 15, 2008 (3:33 pm)
Got a strange one. My cruise control does not work when the headlights are on. It's a 2002 (6cyl) w/ 266,000 miles and mostly trouble free. I bought it new. Replies to this message: kimweigel (Sep 18, 2008 10:20 am)
#2680 of 3021 Re: Cruise Control Problem - check your bulbs[patches1759] by kimweigel Sep 18, 2008 (10:20 am)
Replying to: patches1759 (Sep 15, 2008 3:33 pm) Check your rear light bulbs. If one of them is burnt out in such a fashion that it looks like the BRAKE LIGHT is lit, when only the running light should be on (bulb filaments crossed over), it may be fooling your cruise control into thinking that your brakes are on, even when they're not, and you know cruise won't work with brakes on. Just a thought, good luck.

Replying to: daveinqueens (Sep 15, 2008 1:45 pm) Could you extend the gas pedal so it is even with the brake pedal. I assume you are trying to get them even so you do not have to pull you foot back to get to the brake pedal. They do make extenders for short people. I guess they do not want the driver to be able to press both pedals at once so they place them at different distances from the driver.
#2683 of 3021 2009 Warranty question by 59er Sep 20, 2008 (6:38 pm)
Are there limits on the 5 year warranty in terms of annual mileage? I read somewhere online that the warranty is only good if you keep your mileage under 10k a year but I can't believe that would be the case. Replies to this message: backy (Sep 20, 2008 7:03 pm)
#2684 of 3021 Re: 2009 Warranty question [59er] by backy Sep 20, 2008 (7:03 pm)
Replying to: 59er (Sep 20, 2008 6:38 pm) There is no limit on annual mileage other than the 60k limit to the warranty.
#2685 of 3021 Re: Tire Rotation And 15K Maintenance [backy] by togrove Sep 21, 2008 (6:12 pm)
Replying to: backy (Sep 14, 2008 6:35 pm) thank you, backy. i found a local meineke and midas; both would do the 15k maintenance for less than half quoted from a hyundai dealership.   i still have one question - the hyundai owner manual does not say anything about rotating the tires for the 15k maint. so should i get the tires rotated? or should i not? the hyundai manual only says to replace engine oil, filter, air conditioner filter , plus a dozen inspection points.   thanks in advance.

Replying to: togrove (Sep 21, 2008 6:12 pm) That is up to you. I rotate tires every 6000-7500 miles or so. But I know some owners who never rotate tires, and they buy two new ones at a time. Maybe it all evens out in the end (no pun intended). I like the idea of having even wear on my tires, thinking it's safer, so that is why I rotate them.   BTW, it is quite easy to replace the interior air filter yourself. I've seen some dealers charge a lot for that service. You can buy the filters online and pop them in yourself. Engine air filters are pretty easy too.
