It could. Whether it will depends on how reasonable the dealer and
Hyundai choose to be. It they are reasonable, they will assess whether
any missed maintenance is related to the failure in question. If it
isn't related, then they shouldn't deny the warranty coverage. However,
if it is related, then I think they should deny your warranty. After
all, why should I subsidize via higher vehicle costs your unwillingness
to maintain your car?

Re: Re: Maintance Requirements on Line
 

I logged into my account at hyundaiusa.com and checked out the maintenance
schedule. There is no mention of timing belt changes at all for the 4
cylinder! Also, at the 7500 mile service I was charged to adjust the rear
brakes, which confused the heck out of me, but I paid it....... It's also
not on the Hyundai recommended service.

What year and model do you have? I believe my 06 Sonata calls for rear
brake adjustment, but this is for the drum parking brake, not the disk
service brakes, I believe.

An example of this is that I had a transmission problem with my old
Excel. When I contacted Hyundai about it, they asked about the service
history of the car and specifically about whether the timing belt had
been replaced. It hadn't because I purchased the car used and didn't
have the maintenance schedule, so I didn't know the timing belt needed
to be replaced at 60K miles. However, they covered the transmission
problem anyway, since I had maintained the vehicle properly otherwise
and promised to change the timing belt, which I did before the tranny
work was done. BTW, this occurred at 64K miles, which was out of
warranty for older Hyundais, which only came with a 60K mile warranty.
I'd say that's pretty outstanding customer service.

Re: Maintance Requirements on Line
 

Hi Matt,

For some reason, my answer got lost in the ether.. I have a 2006 4 cyl. I
paid for the rear parking brake adjustment, which is a drum, as you said. I
don't know if they adjust the cable or the shoes. Do you see that
requirement for your car when you log into hyundaiusa.com? I sure didn't.
Curious.

Re: Maintance Requirements on Line
 

More likely, Brian, the dealer chose to ask about your timing belt. I've
never seen a Hyundai rep ask about an immaterial item to the failure in
question. I suspect the dealer knew they could get the tranny covered for
you and used this as leverage to get you to do the timing belt.
