For the pc system problem, I had noticed that the pc valve was leaking oil around it, so I replaced the component on May 12,2000. By December, I noticed that the car had some sort of problem with a noted drop in performance and fuel economy. So I decided, before bringing the car in for maintenance, to visually check the fluids, and wear components. I ended up finding sludge in the engine, created by water in the oil. When Dodge/Hyundai of paramus checked-out the car they told me the problem was a clogged pc system and it was not covered by any warrany, so I paid for the work. For the transmission problem I noticed that it was leaking, and when the dealer in paramus checked-out the problem, they told me that someone had over-torqued the oil pan, blowing out the gasket. They told me that the problem should be warranteed by altman in N.charleston, since they did the 30K check-up. When I informed altman, they told me that paramus should have done the work as warranteed. So, mike at altman told me I would receive a refund, but I never did, and mike doen't work there anymore, and no one else knows anything. I talked to hyun. Motor amer. Cust. Service, and I am currently waiting for a call back. What I want to know is if either of these is covered by warranty, and if so what then?

On or about March 4, 2000, the subject vehicle was involved in an auto accident, at which time the driver rear ended another vehicle driving at approximately 30-35 mph. Both the passenger side and driver side airbags failed to deploy. Soon thereafter, the engine light became illuminated. After taking to farrish in manassas, Virginia, it was reported that the computer indicated that I the engine was out of time. The timing belt was replaced and did not cure the problem. I was then told I needed a tune-up, which was substantially done and did not cure the problem, which leads to my belief that there is a major problem with the emissions control system. The car now heats and gets hot to the touch at the floor board. The manufacturer has been contacted and has failed to inspect the vehicle. I plan tomorrow to revoke my acceptance of the vehicle.
