Consumer Description

SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED 2011 SONATA...I HAD/HAVE BURNING SMELL COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT (AIR OPEN TO OUTSIDE). TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT IT AND POINTED TO THEM THAT THE DRIVE BELT HAS UNUSUAL WEAR. THEY CHECK IT AND COMPARED WITH OTHER SONATAS WITH SAME MILEAGE AND FOUND NO UNUSUAL WEAR. I AM EX TOYOTA TECH. WITH ASE CERTS. I HAVE NOW 20K ON MY SONATA AND THEY STILL DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR
