"fail to maintain temperature, inconsistent cooling in summer, was followed by a failure to heat in winter"

"There is a pinhole leak. No idea where. Compressor still seems okay"

"Check Engine light comes on. Code indicates Evaporation system leak. Replaced gas cap. Check engine light comes on again after a few days ... same code. Replace valve in evaporation system. Still same code after a few days. Smoke test cannot fi"

"Excess fuel apparently injected by low mileage and prolonged white combustion smoke srom the exhaust"

In addition, the right passenger window also rattles, also more pronounced during the winter months. During the spring, summer and fall seasons, hardly any noises!"

"Right front suspension developed rattle sound over bumps. Had one shop look at it. Replaced both front shocks. No resolution. Had Hyundai dealership look at it. Hyundai dealership replaced right front struts. Seems to fix it. Returned about six months or so later."

"Apparently, a rear spring is the culprit. It mostly will squeak when hitting a bump or pothole. This happens fairly consistently."
