There was (car is again at dealership for repair) a vibration from 'cold start' to 30 to 50 mph, loudest the first 10 to 15 miles. Dealer insisted that was normal. I persisted (this is my third trip). I'm awaiting a drive shaft replacement
4194 mi
Same problem, as before. Car is STILL at dealership awaiting engineers for a diagnosis. Had to replace tires, at my expense, to convince Hyundai representatives that tires were NOT the problem. Issue is drive shaft and associated connection
4194 mi
Vibration from drive shaft area, whooing sound that could not be diagnosed. Car was replaced.
13300 mi
Told there was a TSB to add/replace a spacer attaching the center drive shaft, because of a vibration during initial acceleration. This has been an on-going problem for the past year. Parts backordered.
15000 mi
Previous repair, adding spacers to the center bearing, made the problem. After more than six weeks, a new driveshaft was installed and this seems to have resolved the problem.
Check engine light still coming on, engineer brought in from California. Diagnosed transmission as root of problem, transmission shipped in from Korea and replaced. No check engine lights or other major problems since fixed.
