first it started a great car for my wife now its a shameful for her to drive it. first the paint started to fading then the door handles started breaking off and now the air conditioner this is the 3rd time I have replaced it. now I have cancer and physically and money wise unable to replace it. I hade high hopes on a hyundai but now never again. I can not believe its falling apart this car has been maintained by a professional and garage kept

after repeated complaints to hyundai and them saying nothing was wrong, it quit in the georgia heat. it sometimes works but when it doesn't i hit a bump and it comes back on or sometimes if you turn the car off and back on it works, i can thank the wonderful tech at hyundai for this great problem.

Update from Feb 8, 2011: blower motor was defective bought a new one and now there are no more problems
