Recall on 2004 hyundai. I called 5 dealers to have them inspect my car, due to the recall I received about possible frame rusting. The wait is any where from 10 days to a month, just to have them look at the frame. I explained that my car is showing the signs of damaged rusted frame. I requested that they either. Pay for my room or pay for my car rental.
Re: hyundai '04 sonata - bought new at key hyundai branford ct received recall notice re rusting subframes. Issues I've had over last 12 months: steering wheel pulling to one side - alignment way off - fixed, problem recurred. Intermittent noises coming from ?wheels steering column, esp.when turning corners - seems to be two separate distinct noises. Recently steering wh. With rhythmic shimmy, intermittent. Took car into key h.for inspection - told it needs new subframe (6 hr.job) but no alignment will be done, no loaner or rental would be given. Called hyundai cust. Center. Told that an alignment, rental "..wasn't part of the deal" they put the onus on the federal safety agency - says you didn't tell them they had to do any more than replace the s.f. My regular mechanic says that it is worrisome that no alignment will be done. "how can they do all that front end work and not realign the wheels?" regarding a replacement vehicle for the day, considering the subfr. Has turned out to be major 'lemon', you'd think as a gesture of good will, hyundai would pay another $25 - 30 for a rental. Their cust. Assis. Centre is a joke. The girl handling calls knows nothing about mechanics, has no authority and just keeps saying she's sorry but this is the federal safety agency's deal, not hyundai. Another issue- with the s.f. Recall notice, I received a 2nd notice re: chrome handles peeling on inside door. Mine peeled the first year I had the car - abrasion to my finger. I taped the handle and didn't complain. The service manager last week told me recall goes to '03 models (why did I get the notice?) and says I can pay $90 for chrome replacement. And by the way, also handed me $2500 worth of other work I need - I don't, according to my mechanic. Guess h. Trying to recoup money some way, since they have to replace the s.f.free. Bottom line: this is my 2nd h. And my last-lost faith& worried that they will not do proper job on recall work.will pay for rental and alignment myself. Any suggestions?
Chrome covering is peeling from handles and shifter resulting in pieces being stuck in my hand and cuts.
2004 hyundai sonata - interior door handle caused hand laceration by peeling chrome plating /crack in door handle assembly.
Seems to be a defect in the door handles...we have flaking of the chrome finish on our 2004 sonata as well, primarily driver's door.
Chipping paint on door handles especially on the ones that are less used. Paint not matching when repairs are done.
