2001 Hyundai Sonata review from North America
"I wanted to get rid of the car in year 2"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car had excessive squeaking at 6 months (at about 4000 miles). I've had my brakes changed at 3 times because of the excessive brake squeaking.
Next, I had to replace the transmission at about 38,000 miles.
The check engine light came on so many times.
The car "sputters" when I drive it on... especially when I'm at the stop. Then the check engine light came on again. The car only has 40,000 miles.
All these problems were covered by warranty, but it's such a hassle to take it to the dealer so many times.
General comments?
I would not recommend a Hyundai.
