I could not resist commenting on your review because it seems to me that you are pulling our legs...
If the windshield wiper went out at 700 miles, you must have been messing around with it and do not try to worm your way out of this one.
Your power sunroof stopped working at 1,475 miles??? Here is a simple solution, stop setting boxes on top of your car!
Your steering wheel cover came off at 1,975 miles and was never touched??? You must drive drunk on a daily basis because you have to touch the steering wheel in order to operate a vehicle, any average joe or jane knows that.
I got a chuckle out of this one... The power seats stopped reclining at 2,500 miles, who are you John Candy in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles?
Engine vibration is getting worse, started appearing at about 2,725 miles? Here's a tip, stop redlining the frickin engine!!!
Since this person is claiming trouble with his/her Sonata he/she must be either a liar or abusing the car?! Guess what, everyone, including Hyundai, can put out a bad car. I had a 1997 Nissan Sentra that went through 10 alternators (and had many other problems) before I finally gave up.
My 2004 Sonata has almost 64K miles and has had its share of trouble (I've had it for almost 2 1/2 years, this is a lot of down time for 2 1/2 years). I had electrical issues fry my power mirrors and CD player, the windshield sometimes sounds like it wants to fall in, it has had emissions control problems 4 times (next time won't be under warranty as only the powertrain warranty is good for 10 years/100K miles), it has hesitation issues, it had brake problems (out of warranty), and it has recently (out of warranty) had an expensive fuel system problem. The fuel system problem had the car out for nearly a week (car rentals aren't cheap) before the mechanic was able to get the part (the dealers and distributors didn't have it in stock). I want to replace it, but with Hyundai resale values it is worth $4000 less than what a dealer would give for it and about $2-3000 less than what I could sell it for myself. I wish I went with the smaller Honda Civic I almost bought instead (I went with size and Consumer Reports assuring reliability was up instead of known reliability and durability).
Read some of the other reviews, this person's experience is NOT an isolated incident.
