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. |

I spoke directly with Hyundai after having the problem diagnosed by a reputable local AAMCO dealer, who I had dealt with before on another vehicle. Hyundai even agreed to let them do the work. BTW, the rebuild (new bearings) lasted over 100K miles compared to the original 64K. Come to think of it, so did the timing belt. |

I haven't checked hyundaiusa.com, but I believe it is in the maintenance section of my owner's manual, but it has been 6 months since I read it, so I'm not 100% sure of that. However, most drum brakes need adjustment unless they are self-adjusting, which is not likely with a parking brake. Matt |

Re: Maintance Requirements on Line
Yea, I think it is in the manual, but it's not on the hyundai site. I guess
they just haven't got it programmed in correctly. My parking brake worked very well after just 6000 miles so they probably did nothing except check to see that it worked and charged me..... Oh well.

Mine isn't as powerful as I'd like, but it is enough to hold the car when parked. I used it a few times to stop from 30 MPH or so to get the shoes seated well, and it took a long time to stop. So, I'd say it really is more of a parking brake than an emergency break! Mine may need adjustment, but I haven't had time to look at it yet and it isn't bad enough to worry about. Matt |
