My POS went in for an oil change this weekend. They noticed a small leak from the power steering rack. The POS is only worth about $4k so you bet your ass I’m not paying to replace the power steering rack!
Was trying to get this POS out to 1.5-2 years before getting rid of it. I’ve never noticed any fluid on the ground so it must be pretty small and they said it was. Power steering stop leak fluid here I come! |

Well that dealership kind of screwed us. The high and low ac pressure lines needed replaced and now the parts have bumped to next week for arrival. What they failed to tell us was that this part had already been bumped twice. So it could be in next week or it could be in a few weeks or even a month. This ****ing car should never have been listed in the inventory for sale yet.
So summer is here and no ac with black leather interior. Told them we are not paying anything until that part comes in.

I used that red, Lucas stop leak power steering yesterday after removing a few ounces of fluid. I’ll monitor levels and add as needed. |

Fortunately we haven't officially purchased the ****er yet. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy...tent=algorithm Hyundai recalls over 390K vehicles for possible engine fires Economy May 4, 2021 12:51 PM EDT DETROIT (AP) — Hyundai is recalling more than 390,000 vehicles in the U.S. and Canada for two problems that can cause engine fires. In one recall, owners are being told to park their vehicles outdoors until repairs are made. The largest recall covers more than 203,000 Santa Fe Sport SUVs from 2013 through 2015. Some are being recalled a second time. Brake fluid can leak into the anti-lock brake computer, causing an electrical short that can lead to fires. Owners should park outdoors and away from structures until the problem is fixed, according to documents posted Tuesday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Dealers will replace a fuse and replace the computer if necessary. Owners will be notified in June. The brake computer problem has caused 18 fires in the U.S., but no injuries, according to documents. Hyundai says the recall “enhances the remedy” from one issued in September of 2020. The company says it kept investigating after the September recall and found that replacing the fuse would reduce the safety risk. “Hyundai is conducting this new recall to ensure the safety of its customers,” the company said in a statement. The other recall covers nearly 187,000 2019 and 2020 Elantras, and 2019 through 2021 Konas and Velosters. All have 2-liter engines. The piston rings may not have been properly heat-treated, which can cause engine damage, oil leaks and possible fires. Hyundai says the rings can be too hard and can be chipped, scuffing the engine cylinder. The piston problem has caused five fires but no injuries, according to documents. Dealers will inspect and replace the engine if necessary. They’ll also install piston noise sensing software. Owners will be notified in late June. Engine failure and fire problems at Hyundai and affiliated Korean automaker Kia have plagued the companies for more than five years, affecting the owners of more than 8 million vehicles.

Perhaps there is a benefit to seats that have already been farted in after all?
This last minute recall from Hyundai makes me realize that seat farting could be a good screening mechanism to eliminate cars with engine fire propensities. In all fairness, it may cost us a few drivers and passengers but the number of death traps on car lots will drop for the rest of us not engulfed by flames. I say ignore the Beano and have a double bowl of chili. The rest of us will thank you. |

I doubt they could even sell it at this point anyway.
