that all four rotors are covered with ugly rust. My last
three cars had 4 wheel disc brakes, and the rotors
were always a shiny silver, as is the Honda CRV I currently
own.
Questions are: Is this condition normal? Does anyone
else have this? Is it harmful to the brakes? Why do
these rotors rust when none of my other cars did?
Anyone out there know?

Access Hyundai WebTech and look up in the online shop manual for your year car the torquing sequence and values for the engine-transmission mounts. Try the easy way first by loosening the mount again that you removed and retorque to the proper value. If that doesn't cure the vibration, you'll need to loosen all of the mounts and retorque in the proper order and amount.
May be you should try to use a lower gear going uphill and see if it makes any difference.
I don't think it needs a fifth gear for climbing a hill... but rather down shifting to 3rd!
For a Hyundai?
I know all cars have rattles but this one is extreme. The kind of rattle that if someone else was in the car they couldn't help but mention it.
They had the same experience every time they had to go up a hilly terrain!
I had until a month ago a GL 2001 Sonata 4cyl.
Never vibrated at a stop or otherwise for 4 years and 50k.
"As for the idle, they said that it's STANDARD and it's a CHARACTERISTIC of the motor!!
BS. .. A 4cyl engine has a distinct sound, not vibration!
Take it back and demand a written write up every time you take it in - that is your only proof if you ever fight it as a Lemon!
There is a time limit on the Lemon law thing... here in Florida they just overhauled the law and extended it.
If that fails... contact Hyundai...
Don't wait too long... until the time limit expires!
From The Florida Lemon Law site:
DO NOT DELAY in reporting a problem as this may cost valuable time and protection.

*Once filed, lemon-law cases (a form of civil action) can drag out for YEARS in "discovery". (Hyundai's not going to be in any particular hurry to settle - it's not at all in their interest to do so.) Even if your hypothetical case is ultimately settled in your favor, your "buy-back" award will have fair market value depreciation deducted for the entire time the car is in your possesion (during which, by the way, you'll still be legally obligated to continue making loan or lease payments - nothing's put on hold during the process). Given Hyundais' abysmal depreciation rates, your final settlement check would likely be a bitter joke.
P0335: Crankshaft position fault
P1372: Segment time acquisition problem (related to above code?)

Lastly 2 undocumented codes: U3118 and C0307
Last November I had the mass air flow sensor replaced and joy for me they put it in backwards...but the car ran fine for the next 10 months without popping the check engine light...can this cause any other problems that might pop one of the above codes? Right now my car runs poorly and I would rather take a bus or taxi to get where I need to go regardless of how much the ride will cost. When cold and first being started, it will die if put into reverse, but every additional time there after it will go into reverse just fine. Also while driving it is as if it loses power and dips very low in RPMs and occasionally stalls in the process. Sitting at an idle, it feels like a diesel truck idling and 1 out of 5 times will stall at red lights... Any ideas would be great seeing as how I'm just "a stupid lady taking her car to the dealer and have no idea what should be normal for my car." Thanks in advance
As to the problem I am having did the power failure come with sometimes a ajerk and sometimes not, no passing gear,and lose of power off the line, please let me know. Dean
However... try to sit in it, engine on, without the seatbelt on and wait for your wife to come out of the store and the seat belt beeper will drive you nuts. Unbuckle your belt to reach the ATM and it will beep VERY loud, etc. Is there a way to silence this?
I can not tell you how good it is to go out, start the van, run errands, and come home without being towed.
Well anyway, that sensor is a bugger.

I would make sure that the exhaust pipe is not hitting the under carriage at some point. I had this on a new VW GTI and when I would go over certain kinds of pavement bumps it would bang in the trunk area. Simple bracket change fixed it.
I wonder if they will repair this at some point? I've bought 5 Hyundai's, maybe they will do it to keep me happy!!!
Love the car (06 GLS-V6), not sure why some feel it is a bland exterior, I think it is one of the best looking cars out there, but i guess everyone has their own tastes.I do wish the dash would flow down into the console, that would be the one thing that would improve the interior....
Thanks!
P.S. I haven't noticed any problems with excess vibration or noise, and in fact I find it quieter than my 2005 Sienna. So, whoever got told "that's how this car is" is being given the runaround...
Thanks
mail. It says the car has automatic door locks,
but they must be activated by the dealer.
