Hey… many thanks for all of the input. I had forgotten about the post and just stumbled upon it again today. Have since sold the Tib but my daughter still drives the Accent. Going on 66K now and have decided (based on all of the input) to take it to the dealer.Just don’t trust myself with tackling that job.
Thanks.. again..

 

i havent had one break but hyundai wont do warranty work on my car anymore because they say that since i didnt have the timing belt replaced at 60.000 miles i broke the contract that i signed when i bought the car so they have lost me when i go to buy a new car

 

If it it didn't break and you replaced it after 60,000 miles, your warranty is still intact. For the warranty to be broken, any failure that occurs has to be due to something you did (like put on parts that ruined something or raced the car), or something you were supposed to do but didn't (like if the timing belt breaks because you didn't do it). However, if you replace the timing belt after the recommended maintenance inteval and it hadn't broken, your warranty is still intact. Bear in mind, though, that your bumper-to-bumper warranty ended at 60,000 miles regardless of mainenance that was or wasn't done. The only warranty you still have, and this is only if you're the original owner, is the 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. And this only covers the mechanical powertrain components (not the electrical sensors and controls).

Was there a warranty repair they did not cover? What kind of repair was it?

 

Tuscon 2005, under 50,000 miles, took all of the engine valves with it and now i have been fighting with hyundai for a month to replace the engine, over $7,000!! great warrenty!! not!!

 

wow, not even 50,000 miles yet... yikes, did hyundai get the cheapest parts for their vehicles or what?
