While driving at 65 mph, my car began to make a loud noise. Unable to stop, I proceeded off the exist, and I could hear parts falling out. Upon stopping, I opened the hood to find the vehicle in flames. After consulting with the mccafferty Hyundai dealer, they informed me that the A/C compressor seized causing it to catch on fire. However, because it was quite cool that day, I did not have my air conditioner on.

  • Automatic transmission

Since having the car, I've experienced problems with the transmission to include trans jumping out of gear occassionally, failure for gear shift to go into gear, complete failure of the transmission. Other problems include electrical problems, I.e., alternator, battery, etc. But most prevelant was the transmission. I recently had to completely replace the transmission, torck converter, kick-down switch at a cost of approx. $3,100. When I contacted the dealer and Hyundai, I was completely blown-off by both. I feel these are excessive repairs for a 3 year old car that has been serviced and maintenanced regularly. I also experience foul oders coming from the air conditioner as well as breaking problems.
