problem #2

Sonata

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34,000 miles

This seems to be a defect with these cars, I've had the same issue 3 different times. Replaced the crankshaft sensor and that fixed the problem, but the fix lasts from 2 to 4 years before I have to replace it again.

I argued with him but he insisted not to replace it .I am requesting your kind advise in this matter . Please reply soon what to do.
