Consumer Description

WHEN TURNING RIGHT ON A RAINING DAY, LOSS OF POWER - NO STEERING OR BRAKES. 2006 TUSCON WOULD RUN RADIO WOULD BE ON - BATTERY LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON - 10 SECONDS AFTER MANAGING TO GET OUT OF TRAFFICS WAY - CAR WOULD MOVE. HYUNDAI FOXED THE CAR BY REPLACING SENSORS AND SOME OTHER WORK RESULTING IN OVER A $1000. PRIOR MAJOR SERVICE WAS SERPENTINE BELT AND CHAIN REPLACEMENT ON SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS - HAD NO ISSUES BEFORE THE CHAIN WAS REPLACED. EVER SINCE - THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO RESET FOR HESITATION BETWEEN 20 AND 40 MPH AND THE ADDITIONAL SENSOR WORK. HYUNDAI WOULD NOT GIVE ME ANY WARRANTY WORK AS MY 6 YEARS HAD JUST EXPIRED. I AM TAKING THE CAR BACK IN TOMORROW FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING TODAY IN A SUDDEN DOWN POUR - THE FIRST ONE SINCE I HAD THE CAR FIXED THAT I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE IN AND THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN EXCEPT THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING AND NOT TURNING. WATER SEEMED TO GET UNDER THE ENGINE AND SOMETHING IS GETTING WET. I REQUESTED A RENTAL CAR AND I AM LEAVING FOR VACATION ON SATURDAY TO THE SHORE. IF ITS NOT FIXED THIS TIME - I MAY HAVE TO CONSIDER A NEW CAR AND I JUST PAID IT OFF. *TR
