Re: warrenty questions
Thanks HT...While I'm a little miffed about the replacement battery
situation (my original died after 13 months, the replacement after 12 2/3
months, and Hyundai wouldn't cover the replacement), on the whole you're
right. It's been a good warranty, and I've been happy with my dealer,
Glendale Hyundai. They've been having a promo for awhile for "buy one, get
one free" oil changes. Looking at my records it looks like in the 2+ years
of ownership, I've paid about $150 for all the oil changes (8 I believe and
I think they threw in the first oil change for fee) and the battery
replacement which was about $60.
