No first hand experience here but I had a friend with one whose tranny failed with rather low miles (sub 50k). they went in expecting to have it repaired under warranty but since they had not followed and documented the mfr. recommended maintenance schedule they were sent off into the cold!
That is against the law.
They cannot deny any warranty work for not following the
recommended maintenance schedule.
No, it's not a
recommended maintenance schedule, it's a
required maintenance schedule. They can, will, and
should deny
any warranty on any part that has not been maintained properly.
50k miles is outside of the 3/36. 3/36 is the only bumper-to-bumper warranty any car will ever have, and whatever was wrong with it would have been fixed under the 10/100 powertrain warranty Hyundai has. Powertrain is basically engine and transmission only. Not radiator, not AC; engine itself and transmission itself and that's it.
Far too often people complain about poorly maintained cars being pieces of crap.
Then again, Hyundais ARE, but that's a whole nuther story
