I hadn't noticed the registering as a KIA. You can blame the VIN number used, and perhaps R L Polk which supplies a database called VINASSIST that lots of state DMVs use to auto-fill make & model information from the VIN.
The first 3 letters of my VIN are KND which comes up to Kia Motors Corporation, multi-purpose vehicle.

I have called my state (NM) to ask about the registration showing KIA instead of Hyundai. This is good to know. I didn't think about the Vinassist issue. My only concern is for legal matters as my title says Hyundai, vehicle is a Hyundai, but the registration says KIA (explain that to the cop).

We drove our van from Chicago to Arkansas, noticed on the way home that any time we turned right/left of went over bumps in the road that the underside of the car made this huge crunching sound. I even thought maybe somehow branches or something were stuck in the tires. It's loud enough that it sounds like the car is going to break in two. It that what you mean by struts?

They were not 100% clear when we took the car in however it had something to do with the struts and stabilizer. The parts had to be ordered in and it is a defect. It took almost two weeks for our dealership to fix out van and they gave us a PT cruiser of all gas guzzling, no guts things to replace our nice roomy van. The inconvenience was high especially since we were spending the same amount if not more on the PT. Definitely get it in and get it looked at. IT should be 100% covered given it is a defect.
Good luck!

I am having the same problems with my van. But the dealers here in Texas say that they can not duplicate the problem. I have been in at least 10 times for this problem and no luck with the two dealers in my area..
