rain gutter molding is subjected to uv, rain, etc...only solution is to use something like Back to Black or some other chemical to help restore the finish and color..same with trim around the windshield wipers...60/50 warranty probably has expired and they'll consider it cosmetic

Suspension creak update by allmet33

Okay, I got my car back yesterday. I had taken it in and they intially replaced the right front strut, which didn't take care of the creaking noise. The service director rode with me and said it was the upper control arm bushing that was the culprit. So...I returned the car to them and they replaced the entire upper control arm...problem solved.

Azera & Ethanol by allmet33

Okay, I have a question. When you pull up to a gas station and you see the sticker on the pump that says "Gas may contain up to 10% ethanol." Would that be true for all grades of gas they sell? I ask this question because gas with ethanol is killing my fuel economy. Before the big ethanol push, I was seeing 17-18 mpg in the city, now...it's more like 13-14 mpg.

I had asked the same question to a friend who works in the oil field.
 
The 10% is the max Ethanol in the worst case scenario, the actual blend would differ from refiner to refiner, day it was blended & price of Ethanol that day. Suffice to say that if you are close to Corn country, your Ethanol concentration would be close to the max 10%. If you are close to the refineries & gulf, your blend tends to have lower Ethanol. Unfortunately there's no way of telling.
 
Ethanol mandate is an immoral & harmful scam pulled on America by these corn states. To appease to the Corn mafia, our Engines are being harmed & environment harmed.

So...would that be across all grades of fuel for a given brand, or just the 87 octane fuels?
 
Honestly, I think our pockets and our engines are suffering more than the environment. It is claimed that ethanol is supposed to make the fuel burn off more completely, thus creating less harmful emission from the tail pipe. Like you, I believe it is a huge scam.
 
I'm led to believe with the decline of my fuel economy, that the stations here in the DC metro area are putting the full 10% in their fuels and it reeks!!!

Unfortunately, it is across all fuel grades. Unless your pump says that it doesn't contain any Ethanol, you can rest assured that Ethanol in blended.
 
Ethanol is not clean. The energy taken to create Ethanol would offset many times the (supposedly) clean burning of Ethanol.
 
If you look at some of Hyundai's service bulletins, there's one which says that if the Ethanol blend is more than 10%, the warranty is void. (Search in hmaservice.com in the Fuel section)
 
And now the mafia wants to mandate 15-20%!!
 
Are Americans really that stupid that they can't see a scam when they see one?? (Sorry, I'm very angry about Ethanol as I consider it to be immoral)

Wobbly Ears you are correct concerning the ethanol mandates. The guaranteed market created by the government has mainly served to favor corn farmers and hedge fund grain traders who have decimated many sectors of the meat and agriculture industries with massively increased raw material costs. More pollution from the fertilizer runoff from additional corn farms and high tariffs on imported Brazilian ethanol in an effort to suppress competition in this market further illustrate our governments hypocritical policies regarding the environment and free trade.

I don't consider it purely cosmetic as it's not just fading but cracking along it's whole length, which could expose metal. Unfortunately, paint seems to be a 3/36 warranty and I'm a couple months overdue, though under mileage. I'll mention it anyway when I bring it in for the creaky suspension and broken lumbar support, but I doubt I'll get anywhere.

The only good thing about the ethanol scam is that it's raised the price of corn to the point that more and more food manufacturing is dropping the increasingly-expensive high fructose corn syrup and is returning to real sugar or sucrose...
