2000 Hyundai Sonata GLS review from North America
"A nice looking lemon that nickles and dimes you."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We have had numerous problems with the check engine light coming on since we first bought the car in November 2001.
We had to replace the oxygen sensors shortly after purchasing car, April 2002.
The rear wheel bearings went bad at about 87000 miles and had to be replaced.
We have had to recently replace the catalytic convert at about 88000 miles.
Now the front driver side window needs a new regulator.
The rear struts and mounts need to be replaced.
And we are stating to have problems with car not wanting to excelorate then excelorating to fast.
We are also still having problems with the rear breaks or bearing squealing/grinding.
General comments?
The car rides very smooth and is comfortable.
It has a lot of room for all of our things, since we spend more time in it than at home.
We really like the design, but wish things would stop going wrong.
