I started burning oil and was going through a quart of oil every 150 miles, then due to the excess oil consumption my catalytic converter went out.

Occasionally when you accelerate it hesitates and does not respond. It has been taken to a mechanic and a dealer and they cannot find the problem but it does happen. It is dangerous especially when pulling out onto a very busy road where I live this is a side street entering a very busy highway or most anytime. It is random it happens ever since car was purchased can't give exact date

I live in las vegas Nevada, this vehicle overheats and shuts the air conditioner off when it reaches 75% on the temperature gage. Anytime the outside temperature is above 100+ degrees the car will reach 75% while driving in about 30 minutes, if the car is stationary it'll get there in about 10 to 15 minutes. Hyundai manufacturing has said that this is due to a small radiator and a small cooling fan but will currently not repair these issues. Most Hyundai dealerships will claim that this is not a problem or that the car does not have a problem. The photographs depict the temperature rising while driving the car. The only time the temperature went down was when I manually shut the ac off.
