Dealership had me make an appointment and come in for the 188 recall (ABS relay installation), kept me for 2 hours, tried to sell me about $2,000 in unrelated maintenance, then told me that they did not have the parts to perform the relay service. They therefore wasted my time when they had no intention of performing the recall work. The recall work has not been done, and I've wasted a work day. Dealer rep was also intimidating with regard to the maintenance he was recommending.

My wife drives a 2007 entourage se that currently has 96,000 miles on it. A short time ago the brake pedal got 'soft' or what some people might call 'spongy' or "mushy" accompanied with gradual 'leak down'or "fading" of the brake pedal. As this is normally a symptom of a failing master cylinder, I replaced the master cylinder. This did nothing to solve the problem. Next, I replaced the rear brake pads (although they were probably only half worn) to push more fluid back into the reservoir in hopes it would 'tighten up' the pedal feel. This also did not improve the situation. The front brake pads are relatively recent and not in need of replacement. I next took the vehicle to a dealership for diagnosis. The dealership indicated that what I was experiencing was a failure of the ABS module (pump and control unit) that they don't see very often. Based on the dealership advice, I replaced the ABS module. This had no effect on the problem. In a final effort, I replaced the vacuum booster which also did nothing to correct the situation. After each of these repair efforts the brakes were bled manually and with the "auto bleed" function of a scan tool. Note that there are no ABS, ebd or etc diagnostic codes present in the vehicles diagnostic system. I've come to realize is the van is basically "unrepairable" by mere mortals. Perhaps a kia/hundai vehicle braking system designer with all the time in the world, following the 143 pages of brake system diagnostics present in the 2006-2007 service manual might stumble on a solution but I don't know anyone like that. Thus, it appears that I'm going to have to donate this vehicle to a charity for the tax writeoff with full disclose that I would not recommend it be driven in it's current condition. This is a real shame as we've had this van for 10 years since it's 2008 purchase and it looks great inside and out.

I would not recommend the 2007 hyundai entourage to anyone!! We purchased our new entourage in july 2006, my first problems started occuring in august 2006 and have yet to cease! I have been in a loaner car more than I have been able to drive my car since we purchased it. I do not feel safe driving long distances in my entourage anymore, not knowing what is going to happen next. Some of the problems I have had : lumbar support "blew out", door lock acuator went out, timing belt had to be replaced, button on upper console annoying rattle, ABS light comes on, air bag light comes on, TPMS problems, back of drivers seat falling off, check engine light has came on repeatedly and have almost been stranded twice (luckily I didn't have my three year old in the car at the time), was caused by different things each time. Dropped vehicle off this morning, since getting my car back the last time, which they had for over two weeks and I was able to drive for one day before problem occured again, my car has been vibrating a lot when slowing down or stopping at traffic lights, etc. (anytime I have to use the brake) I have to hold on tight to the steering wheel because the vibration is so bad. Took to dealership today and drove with manager, saying that the problem is my rotors. When I asked what caused the rotors to do that, I was told that driving through a puddle of water or having to brake suddenly would do it and that was with all cars not just my entourage. Well, this isn't the 1st car that I have owned over the years and I have never had this probelm. Too many problems for a brand new vehicle to be having. I am very disappointed. Everyone states that hyundai has the "best warranty" - I didn't know that meant I was going to have to have something fixed every month. If I didn't have the warranty, then I guess my entourage would be sitting on the side of the road somewhere. Having to deal with bbb auto line. Not worth the hassle.
