2003 Hyundai Sonata LX review from North America
"I will never buy a Hyundai ever again. Buyers beware of the potential problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has gotten a rebuilt transmission and it didn't even have 11,000 miles on it.
The steering is bad.
Knocking going on in rebuilt transmission.
Burns more gas.
Problems with hydraulics.
A/C comes on when you start up the vehicle.
Does not want to start when cold out.
Knocking noise when climbing a hill.
Braking problems.
Feels as if steering wheel is going to come off.
General comments?
This car has some serious problems.
This is a replacement vehicle from the
Tiburon I bought in 2003.
The Tiburon was not even one month old and I started experiencing problems.
The Tiburon's engine seized on me on the expressway.
These two vehicles are new lemons.
