Cost of a 2006 Sonata?

  1. Here's the final mid February 06 update on my 2003 Hyundai Elantra engine
    failure at 36K miles. The Baltimore area dealer has done a great job in
    replacing the engine in a reasonable amount of time (3 weeks). I went over
    the engine installation looking for signs of hasty reassembly etc and found
    none, although when I checked the antifreeze protection level, it showed +10
    degrees on my ethylene glycol compatible gauge. I had just backflushed the
    cooling system and installed a 50% antifreeze concentration (1/2 full
    strength ethylene glycol and 1/2 distilled water) before the engine failure,
    so I'm sure that when they refilled the coolant system with the new engine,
    they did not restore the antifreeze to the proper 50%/50% concentration
    specified in the owner's manual. The car is running great. They even washed
    it and shined the tires up before returning it to me. I have no problem with
    Hyundai's warranty or the dealer's service, which was no charge under the
    warranty. I would now buy a new Sonata and my sister is looking at a new
    Tucson. A little good service goes a long way in maintaining a company's
    reputation, and both dealer and manufacturer came through for me this time.
