On a somewhat similar note, my Mother owns a Subaru Forrester. Her brakes

the $700 reaming she got, I showed her all of the marks I made and pictures
I took to prove to her that all they did was replace the pads. It took an
entire year of B.S., but she just got a $5000 judgement from the court, the
maximum they could give her in small claims court. But the biggest
satisfaction she got was that Subaru just pulled the franchise from the
dealer. This was not their first complaint :-)

Sorry, Joey, I was just trying to add a little levity to your situation,
because I know it isn't funny when it is happening. If it helps any, my
Mom is Sicilian, and has a ton of cousins and Uncles that could help you
out as a last resort.
Hope that at least made you chuckle.

Re: 2000 Sonata troubles Attn: Hyundaitech
I must be jinxed, or somebody's put a curse on me, or both.
So I get my car back this afternoon (as detailed earlier in this thread)
and take my Mom to her dental appointment.
After we're done, around 4:30 pm, I go buy some gas to be ready for my
1 hour commute tomorrow morning. While I'm there, I decide to check my
tire pressure. All 4 tires are just at 32 psi, which is how I usually
set them. This is a bit surprising to me because my front passenger tire
sometimes seems to have a slow leak and is often down a few psi every
once in a while. The front tires are around 2 years old, btw. The last
time I put air in was about 2 weeks ago. Maybe, I think to myself, one
of the service shops I've been going to topped off the tire pressure for
me, or maybe it's just not leaking anymore.
I drive home. This gas station is 2 blocks away from my house btw.
At about 7:00 pm I decide to go out and do some grocery shopping at a
local mall about 5 minutes from my house. My car sounded a bit weird
getting out of my small driveway. Then about 3 or 4 houses down the
street I realize I have a f...... flat tire. The right hand passenger
side tire. I back it up and back into my driveway, cursing all the
f...... way.
My first thought is that one of the little tire valve extensions I use
on my tires got stuck after I checked the tire pressure. I usually leave
them on when I check the tires. It just turned winter-y here in Toronto
within the last few days btw. Maybe it got clogged with ice? I examine
it and it's quite rusty and the travel of its 'nipple' is quite rough.
But I'm not sure, because this isn't supposed to happen, or so I think
to myself. Maybe I ran over a nail in the 2 blocks it takes to get from
that gas station to my house?
I call the auto club (CAA...it's like the AAA). A truck comes by within
20 minutes, which is nice. He fills my tire. It stays filled for the few
minutes he's there, disproving the theory that I had a fast leak due to
a puncture. Remember, it took less than 3 hours for this tire to go from
full pressure to completely flat. He tells me to go get it checked anyway.
There's a service center that stays open till 9:00 pm and it happens to
be at the same mall where I had wanted to go grocery shopping. I decide
to go there and have them check out the tire, even though I'm convinced
that it had to be the faulty valve extension. Their guy says all he
found was a slow leak around the rim. He reseals the rim and cleans it
up a bit. While I'm there, 3 guys at this shop tell me that my valve
extension wouldn't have caused the tire to go flat like that.
I get the car back and there's still time to go grocery shopping, so I
do. I get back in the car and start to drive home. Half way home, my rpm
indicator, on the dash, stops working.
M..... F.....!

Fill the tire if needed, drive to the dealer, trade it in. More than any
one person should endure.

Today I drive to work, a 75km commute on the highway, with the rpm
indicator still not working.
8 or 9 hours later I get in the car and start it up to drive home. Rpm
indicator is working again. It seems to work perfectly all the way home.

Just got it back from Tom. He says that everything is, and was, fine. He
opened it up again today and looked at it and he did what Peter told him
to do, but he didn't have to change anything. Peter had even faxed him
some stuff showing some things about the Sonata timing belt that he
(Tom) hadn't been aware of. That's why he (Tom) wanted me to come back
again today. But Tom says that it was fine in the 1st place.
To recap...
All that Tom has really done since his shop began looking into this
(because of the "vibration" that Peter says he felt) was to lubricate
one of the rollers (for 3 f...... hundred dollars). He (Tom) says that
everything else checked out fine.
So either Peter's full of s...
Or Tom's full of s...
Or Peter's trying to screw me.
Or Tom's trying to screw me.
Or they're both trying to screw me.
I guess I'll take it back to Peter one more time and see if he still
hears his "vibration". Don't know if I'm going to give him the $400.00
he wants, or more, to fix this phantom of his though.
And Tom says he has no idea what caused the rpm indicator to just stop
working for half a day.
So, hyundaitech, do you still think that Peter (Peter is the "master"
mechanic at the Hyundai dealership who felt the "vibration" at 3000rpm)
really knows his stuff and that I've got something to worry about still?

Re: 2000 Sonata troubles Attn: Hyundaitech
Took it back to Peter, the "master" tech at the Hyundai dealership, and
he says it's fine now. No more vibration.
So, either Tom's bullshitting me and he really did fix something,
besides just lubricating that roller, in which case his shop shouldn't
have charged me any $ because it means that they botched it up
originally back in Feb. '05.
Or they're both bullshitting me and there was nothing wrong in the 1st
place.
At any rate, I'm glad this business is over with.
Now I don't even trust the 1 place I used to trust.
Sheesh.
