| Description of the problem | My husband and i are the owners of two 2011 hyundai sonatas. Our complaint is based on the fact that we feel that hyundai has either purposely or in ignorance created an inherent defect in its battery system. Over the course of the past nine years, on a number of occasions, we have had to have our batteries changed or disconnected to repair something else. Each time this happens, when the battery is disconnected or replace by an auto shop other than hyundai, the check engine light turns on and there is an warning that the map sensor needs to be replaced. There is not enough room to clearly explain the problem here. I have, therefore, attached a letter below. The consumer stated codes p0106/p0605/p2110 appeared.*js |
