2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6
I am wondering if anyone else here has same vehicle and has a
constant "chattering" coming from the front end. I think it is the gas struts myself I noticed it more with the snow tires on the car than the summer tires (michelin sports) . Was wondering if it is worth the bother of a visit to the dealer.? |

Is this a constant humming type noise or a knock over bumps or something
else? |

Maybe you're hearing the hood rattle. Put a few layers of electrical tape around the hood latch bar to thicken it up and pad it. Worked for me. Replace tape every once in a while once it gets chewed through. |

You can adjust the clearance by turning the rubber bumpers on the frame. |

Test-Drive Your Car Salesman- Stillwell North Adelaide
I felt afraid that I would be cheated, ripped off, pressured, hoodwinked, swindled, jacked around, suckered or fleeced. But car sales, like any other business, are about maximizing profits. Once they (Stillwell North Adelaide) got my deposit and instantly I was at their mercy. They dictated and changes times of delivery of the car amongst many other things. They never told me during that time that the car was coming from interstate. Only days after taking my money they then told me that the car is coming from interstate. I was told it will take a week or no later than two. Lie 1 They rang me twice to say the car is still on the way. I at that time I was unhappy and told the sales man I was upset about this. After those phones I was the one left to ring back to check delivery of the car. 7 calls in total only to be told that the car will be here finally on Monday after over two weeks. The salesman said on Tuesday that will rush the car (yes RUSH the car) into getting ready. That includes the entire car pack, paint protection, tinting, leather interior and the rest. Yes all in a less than a day. I was the one who shocked over this and said you have to be joking there is no way it can be done in one day for Wednesday delivery. I said give it to me on Thursday or no later than Friday. I did say to the sales man if the car is NOT ready then we will not go ahead with purchasing of the car. At this point I also made a point to say RING me and tell me when you want the money to transfered so it can be cleared. This NEVER happen. I had to ring over 4 times to finally speak to the GM of the car yard. Hey! Should they not be the ones running after my money? Anyway finally the money was transferred on Wednesday and no money showed in their NAB bank account till Friday still. Funny part it left my account and I was already paying interest. Wonder how the NAB makes money? After many phone calls to and from Stillwell North Adelaide (GM) rang me on Friday and told me that the money was not in the account despite all the evidence that I supplied it has been transferred. Then he says the car is ready without the additional items. So what PART of the English language did they not understand that if the car is not ready by Friday then the deal is off? He (typical sales man) dud! what me stupid attitude said he never knew of this part of the agreement. That I should have told him two days ago that was the agreement between me and them. He would have then tried to have the car ready by Friday with the extras. Does require an IQ test? What is the matter with him does he think buyers are stupid. if he got his car on Thursday /Friday how would he have the car ready with all the extras in the first place. Lie 2. He also accused me of been difficult person and getting out of a so call contract. Of course he did his best to put the blame on me. Well done (Stillwell North Adelaide) trained well but wrong again as the GM he slipped by saying they just got the car a few hours ago. Oh my god why am I not shocked with this people anymore. YES they LIE again from receiving the car on Monday then to Tuesday and then to Friday. So there you are. I have lost days/weeks of interest on my money and have nothing to show for. Oh! also you must be wondering why don't I ask my lawyer to knock this criminals on the head, well I am stupid as I never got or chased for a receipt on my deposit and never signed any paper work or so call contract. Stillwell North Adelaide people are good in doing this by the looks of it. Experience shows here. Now who is the dump one here? Hey. no prizes here but once again I win and lose in this game of purchasing a car from Stillwell North Adelaide. Looks like a great dealership well run with stupid customers like me waiting to get cheated. No guilt from their part Stillwell North Adelaide let their customer bleed and then step on them rubbing their nose down into the ground. Oh if you are thinking of writing to Hyundai directly from their web site. DON'T. They do not reply to any emails. I wrote to them twice without an answer on some advice I was seeking over this issue and other issues in the past. Well done now I know where the Stillwell North Adelaide gets their training from. Buyers I suggest you do not deal with Stillwell North Adelaide check the list below first. 1.. NEVER give them ANY deposit and if you do, ask Stillwell North Adelaide for all receipts and have something written down in black white. 2.. Either get in writing or walk away. 3.. Don't bother writing to Hyundai as they NEVER reply from their web site. 4.. Do not bother to ring Hyundai directly on STD because they do not have a toll free number in Australia. Yup you will end up paying STD rates and kept on hold for ten minutes. 5.. When servicing your car be very care full. Get everything in writing before you hand your keys over. Ask what they will be doing first as you will be very surprise that their first service is merely that, free and doing very little by making you wait for the whole day. 6.. On your other service times, mark and take note of areas in your car as they will claim to have do work on it. And charge you for it of course. Yes once again you will be very surprise again. Overall the Hyundai car is good and let me not bag it. But not all dealership sales people are all that flash example - Stillwell North Adelaide.
