| Description of the problem | Good morning! I am having problems with my sonata and i need assistance and advise. My vehicle has broke down with me on 3 occasions with the same problem. I am concerned because my warranty will be running out at 60,000 miles and i am concerned about my safety. The belt that goes from the a/c to the motor and the alternator continues to fray and burn up in pieces. At this point the car is inoperable. I was told by the hyundai dealership that they have replaced these belts with chain belts on the new sonata's because of this problem. Everytime i have had it repaired they told me that it would not happen again and it has happened (3) times. I contacted the hyundai company last thursday and no one has contacted me or made an attempt to talk with me. Thank you for your assistance with this matter. Marcia smith |
