#51 of 3028 RE 01 won't start by jdepung by shiek Aug 30, 2002 (7:21 pm)
Not a Hundai owner but my wife wants to be, thats why Im here. Seen this type of problem before on other makes. Ground at battery at fault.  Tell service center to get out of their peajammas and check/clean ground, or you can do it your self.   Also if it happens again connect jumper cable from ground terminal on batt to frame of (Your )car and try start. This action will verify my guess. Good luck.
#52 of 3028 electric window off track by de1029 Sep 02, 2002 (1:51 pm)
reply to greg_g56: thanks for response. got busy and didn't see your reply. but, i had no problem at dealership where i bought the car. they replaced the regulator and since i mentioned the driver's side door window made a clicking sound when it reached the top of the door frame when it was being closed, they checked it out. it also was ready for a regulator...but they didn't have one to do the job at that time. they would have to order one which they did. they called me two days later because they had the part. i have to make an appointment to get the work done. that will be in a few weeks. but, i certainly will call ahead to make sure they STILL have the regulator. thanks much for your reply and info. so far, dealer has been ok...no complaints. thanks, again.

Just wanted to let you know, 'Third times the charm'. I finally got my car back from the dealer on a saturday. I was able to drive it home and go a couple of places. Once again, I went to the grocery store. My mistake. It was dead from the moment I turned it off. Got the tow truck out there. It started. I could have SCREAMED!!! So I drove it home. When I got there, it was dead again. Called for the tow truck again. This time it was still dead. Yaaaeh!! It went back to the dealer that replaced the starter. By the next evening it was fixed, for good this time. Seems the wires in the fuse box were loose and / or not connected. What a mess. But once again, I am happy to be a hyundai owner. I better be, 'cause the resale value on these puppies suck! Thanks for the imput.
#54 of 3028 Service Engine Light by kingrw Sep 25, 2002 (2:06 am)
Have a 2000 Sonata GLS with 46,000 miles. Started it up this morning and it began running very rough. When I take it on the road I hear some small backfires. Soon thereafter, the Service Engine light comes on. I've checked out all the basics. Just wondering if anybody else has experienced a simlar problem and/or if you have any suggestions.

The only suggestion that matters: go to the dealer.

#57 of 3028 Front End Rattle by mike_johns2000 Nov 25, 2002 (11:33 am)
I have 2002 Sonata that has a really annoying rattle in the front end. When the dealer was unable to find it, they had the factory rep come to the dealership to tell me that they would not fix it because all of the 2002 Sonatas have this rattle. I would like to hear from other owners to see if they have the same problem. I tried to tell the factory rep that if my 95 dodge doesn't rattle, on certain roads, my new Hyundai that costs 10,000 more than the Dodge did should not have the rattle. I am not impressed at this time with their response. Even though I like the car otherwise, I will tell everyone that I can that they should not buy one if the factory will not honor its warranty.
#58 of 3028 Sonata Brakes!!! by flamethrower Dec 28, 2002 (1:34 pm)
I have a 2002 Sonata that has had squeaking brakes ever since about 4000 miles. I have 13000 now. The dealer said this is "normal". And, that nothing was wrong with the brakes. The brakes on a 2002 Sonata are made of different material than in the past that would cause the squeaking. The squeaking is VERY loud. There is nothing constant, such as weather, temperature or condensation in the air that makes it worst or better. It just comes and goes. VERY irritating for a new car! I am looking for a car that doesn't squeak (not a Hyundai, though).
#59 of 3028 Clicks on start... by zonie24601 Dec 29, 2002 (1:08 pm)
Hi all, My wife and I have a ruby red LX that's pushing 9k miles -- love it so far! No rattles in front end, everything seems to work fine inside. Tranny is smooth. Mid-20s mpg on the highway and at least high teens in town. I do get the rattle on the pass. seat belt when it gets flipped around, but that's it. I have noticed a one thing though -- there is an intermittent clicking sound when we start the car - maybe happens once per 10 starts at the most (at this point) ... it's the same kind of clicking you might hear if your battery were totally dead, but the engine is turning over at regular speed when we hear the noise. There's no problem starting it at all, just get this noise occassionally. Anyone with similar? Thanks for any help/ideas.
