  1. My 2011 Hyundai Sonata's engine stalled on the highway in February 2020. The extended warranty for the engine meant it was replaced for free by Hyundai. But I almost missed out. Only 2,000 more miles of driving and it would not have been covered. I work from home and typically drive less than average. Imagine if I didn't.

  2. people need to watch a bunch of mechanic videos before buying a car. one might quickly see how few vehicles have acceptable long term safety and reliability.

  3. The Japanese avoided these risks by choosing not to buy and succeeded. With the withdrawal of Korean cars from the Japanese market, our wooden houses in overcrowded areas were protected.😛

  4. Earlier this week, Hyundai Canada pleaded guilty to six counts of criminal charges of violating the Motor Vehicle Safety Act and is to pay a fine of $360,000.

  5. It’s something everyone faces with cars. Probably not to this extent, but every car is gonna have defects eventually, it’s a means to an end.

    We’ve had our Hyundai i30 SR for close to 10 years now, and to know that something was sold to us at the cost of $42,990 at the time, is very disappointing.

    The problem is cars are all electronic now, so much trust and hope and financial resources are put into making these crap vehicles. People need to understand they want these issues to happen, cuz it’s a money maker for mechanics and Hyundai themselves.

  6. Hi Mikey how was your day today What shirt socks and pants are you wearing today Are you gonna wear your grey Centennial hoodie and grey track pants for me next time you see me

  7. Our 2015 sportage burned my wife really badly. She barely got out in time. We bought the car in 2016. It happened in January 2023. No warning lights or noises

  8. The answer to this is not hard but also simple," ITS BUSINESS "! We have to be smarter at buying or whatever ,or else its something we cant control that easily.

  9. Time for Hyundai/Kia to include a complementary fire extinguisher as part of their sale… You'll get the message when you are shopping for their cars.
