2003 Hyundai Sonata review from North America
"I won't buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I was told that at 60,000 miles my car would need to have the timing belt replaced to keep my warranty in force. Well, I had this done 2 years ago, and have had nothing but trouble since this work was done. Altogether, I have paid for my 2nd timing belt and had to have a 2nd set of serpentine belts, along with new plugs, and I'm sad to say, my car vibrates so bad when I stop at a stop light in gear, it's embarrassing...
If anyone has had this problem fixed, please tell what caused it..
General comments?
I love the styling and handling, and it gets good gas mileage.
