#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)

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.

Replying to: kimco59 (Sep 21, 2008 9:16 pm) Has anyone hooked up a gauge to the fuel rail and checked the fuel pressure. You could have a bad fuel pressure regulator. Will this problem happen on the level at high altitude or only uphill. If the latter, one might suspect a gas tank issue or fuel filter issue.
#2689 of 3021 thank you mr. shiftright by kimco59 Sep 22, 2008 (8:12 am)
thank you for responding. we truly are stumped. dealer not in helpful mood. a friend drove with his scanner hooked up when it happened outside of flagstaff he said it was running leaner and leaner til it totally lost fuel altogether then dumped alot of fuel after loosing power. happens going up hill in high altitudes. we live in nm going up and down hills no problems until clines corners, raton pass ,colorado springs, flagstaff all high altitudes and in same spot every time.
