I have a 2011 Hyundai Tucson with 200,800 miles, just spent 1,000$ last year on brakes after the calipers froze up and ruined the rotors just recently the Trac, downhill assist and ABS lights came on spent 400$ on new wheel Speed sensor, still didn't fix the issue now they're saying I need a new hub assembly for another 500$. I'm thinking of just cutting my loses at this point, taking whatever cash offer I can get and being done with it. The best offer so far is 3,000$ I love my car but just don't know if it's worth it anymore

 

Grant you the miles are up there, but we don't know what kind of REGULAR maintenance has been done to your vehicle. The brake work is not unusual except if the vehicle was driven on salted roads in which case you would have to expect that.

Unfortunately , vehicles don't run forever without some problems. I have some reservations regarding the addl work to wheel speed sensors They can get disturbed when brake work is done.Don't 'know if careless contributed to the problem.

At this point you know what you have , unless you buy new, you could wind up with something that the previous owner decided to unload for some reason .

Don't know your situation of paying for repairs or car payments, which would you prefer?

A lot of folks don't look favorably at regular maintenance, but it will get done whether it is done now or later, it will get done.

 

All very good points, I have had it regularly serviced I bought it used in 2014 so not sure what the upkeep was like before that time. Just got it paid off about 3 years ago so the idea of more car payments is what I'm debating right now but at the same time I just don't know how much longer this one is going to hold out on me vs a newer car. I am planning on getting a second opinion on the hub assembly but taking it to the dealer this time so they can do a complete diagnosis on it and hopefully pinpoint the ACTUAL issue this time & then depending on the estimate I'll go from there.

 

We don't always know when a place is possibly taking us for a ride, but hopefully your dealership would be a good move at this time.

If you have the time , you might look in your vehicle owner's manual and get some idea of what should be done and when.
Usually, if the manufacturers schedule is followed, it will help keep expenses down because they want to keep you as a customer. A good relationship will pay off in the long run.
I agree with your reasoning 100% and you should enjoy not worrying about breakdowns.
Please , if you don't mind, stay in touch and share your experiences with us, thanks.

 

Although, unfortunately I can't prove it but I'm leaning towards the fact that the place that did the original sensor repair didn't do it correctly and probably just ripped me off for 400$, right after they "fixed" it the dash lights came back on but now instead of intermittent sensor malfunction it's a short/open circuit error. Maybe just a wiring issue that can be resolved instead of the 500$ hub assembly; or that's what I'm hoping for anyway. Once I get a definitive answer I'll report back thanks for your insight on this though, really appreciate an outside perspective.
