At 33,000 miles had to have the transmission replaced. Took a week to get the car back, however, they did provide a loaner.
While the car was in the shop they said the front right wheel bearing needed to be replaced. That part took the shop 3 weeks to get it.
When I came in to have the wheel bearing replaced, they said the left front wheel needed replacement also. That took two more weeks of waiting. After this wheel bearing was replaced, had to bring the car back in for a rubbing sound. The wheel bearing needed to be adjusted.
Great warranty, I just didn't expect to have to use it this quickly. Now the car is making sounds like it is an aircraft taking off when I accelerate.
If I were you I would find another dealership to service that car. First of all the wheel bearings on the front are A hub and bearing assembly, and they can't be "adjusted".
Three weeks for a wheel bearing? I live in Nova Scotia, on the eastern coast of Canada. The dealerships here all stock such items, And we're about as far from Korea as you can get.
As for the Transmission, get used to it. The Automatics are Junk. I've got a 5 speed 2000 Elantra, 70000 miles, It's been thrashed every day since I bought it Brand New in 2000. It is the Best Car I have ever owned.
Your "Owner Experience" has been greatly hampered by The treatment you receive at the dealership.
Most Hyundai dealerships offer much better service than you describe.
