"when turning the differential would slip causing a hard clunking noise and a slipping while accelerating. Was initially diagnosed as shock assembly. Had to take it back 3 times. A computer technician working on Hyundai dealer computer system heard me describe the problem (again). He had heard the same problem at another dealership and made the suggestion. Guess what? The car had to wait on parts but was eventually fixed. The dealership was terrific with keeping us driving by issuing a loaner car."
