2000 Hyundai Sonata GLS review from North America
"This car has issues that I think are still not addressed fully by Hyundai"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light after check engine light after check engine light.
General comments?
This car has been in the repair shop too many times to be classified as a reliable car. The latest that is happening; this car shifts gears at will and all power is lost. I turn off the car and restart and all is fine for a few days and then the horror starts all over again. During this the check engine light comes on again.
All other times that the check engine light came on, it was always some sensor that went bad. If all these sensors are going out, to me that means the quality of the computer system on this car stinks. Now the car has always been repaired at no cost, but six (6) times in 18 months for check engine light is about nuts.
