I was in the dealership today and noticed a warning on the counter refering to after market oil filters and how they restrict flow. They never mentioned a specific manufacturer but we can all prolly guess whos at fault here. I did mention Fram to the service manager and he agreed but never hinted at any other defective filters. On a side note... I live 1.5 hours away from the dealer ship and he said its all good tp buy thier Hyundai filter and do my own oil changes as long as its documented. I wasn't the ony one to hear this, there were several others waiting for service as well but most people are to lazy or havn't the knowledge or tools to do such simple maintainance. Just food for thought for those that like to get oil on their paws.

Hi, I have an 08 SF LTD w/less than 2k miles. It seems after it has been sitting awhile (cold start) when I start to accelerate at about 20mph a strange sound (like running over a tree branch) comes from underneath the front and I can also feel a slight thud under my gas pedal. It only does it when the cars cold. It doesn't seem to do it after that, unless I don't drive it for a couple of hours then it does it again. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, my front passenger door seems to have a slight tremble and makes a slight friction sound (rubber molding rubbing). I've taken it to 2 service depts. and all they can say is "can't duplicate and we greased it". I can see that the door is slightly out of line, but I can't convince them of it. They only want to mess w/the rubber molding. Any suggestions?

My engine light came on and the engine was acting funny I took it to the dealership. $400.00 dollars later they removed and replaced 6 spark plugs $79.14 and 1 set of $61.81plug wires. 3 hours of labor at 80.00 bucks an hour. I feel like they should have given me a full tune up or something any thoughts. Is that much labor needed for that job? Do you think I should call them back and ask what's the deal?

Replying to: bolla67 (Mar 30, 2009 4:42 am) I too, have the "trembling drivers door" which makes the plastic trim at the door catch area rub and squeak, and I too got the same response from the service dept. It all depends on what kind of road surface you drive on, which decides whether it makes the noise or not. Annoying in such a quiet cabin, isn't it. Adjusting the door lock mechanism to fit better is the answer, but they won't do it. Keep telling them every time you take it in for service,so it is on record, as they will try and wait you out for the first 12 months, which is when the "noises,squeaks and rattles" warranty adjustments expires. FYI there is also very commonly, a rattle from behind the radio which is a loose aerial cable touching somewhere. |
