QuestionQUESTION: I have a 2002 Hyundai Elantra GLS Sedan L4-2.0L. It has 55,190 miles. The
MIL stays on when driving. Am at a loss for what it could be so I took the car
to two different mechanics and got two different answers. The first check
produced a host of things that needed to be done to the car. From changing
bulbs, brake pads, right side bottom axle and changing the tires. The second
mechanic said there was an issue with the transmission. While these might
be true, I need a genuine answer and a genuine hyundai mechanic in the
silver spring, maryland area. Please help a driver in dire straits and be easy
on my pocket.
ANSWER: Hi Neighbor,
I can relate. Same thing with mitsubishi, and honda. They make all this rigamarole for hyundai service shop job security. Mama didn't raise no fools in korea either at the hyundai engineering school. Unfortunately hyundai has not been in existence long enough to have many retired hyundai mechanics around who theortically could do the repairs "on-the-cheap". Get it? The codes come up to pursuade you to DO, (pay $$$ to get done), the repairs. All of them. I do not understand your whole question: you took to mechanics but they "didn't know" but they are not genuine? Is that an oxymoron or something? Is that like taking a cement mixer truck to a dentist and expecting him to help you repair it cheaply? Neighbor, i give you the deacon-at-church answers here because i signed up on this website as an auto paint expert. Sorry, the answers to these questions are way out of my auto-paint league. Sounds like you need a real hyundai mechanic and they are usually located at the hyundai dealership. Perhaps you can meet one in private and bribe him if you want to cut out part of the dealer charges. Joe
PS: tires, brakes, bulbs, axle all sound like items that would be better for your health and health of others on the road as safety issues. You ever heard of driving responsibly? Don't you folks have any auto inspections to pass down there? And the most poignant question Jesus and me have on our minds today is: do you or your neighbors still hold animosity towards present day yankees who had nothing to do with the civil war?

QUESTION: I think you completely misunderstood my question. My question was that while I
didn't doubt the response from the mechanic was that the reason for the MIL?
However the response was instead rather insulting. I think it's okay for anyone
one to enquire about affordable deals. I am not trying to be a danger on the
road!
Answerha ha ha, i spent 13 years in the south and was insulted everyday, all day long because i am a yankee. I cannot help you brother, not because i do not understand your question, a man in dire straits, [been there done that and called a damn yankee for my trouble]. I can't help you because i signed up on this website as an auto paint expert, I am not a mechanic. Did you even read my bio? I didn't know if you were a danger on the road on purpose or not...i cannot read your mind. I was just giving you the same answer i would have given any man in dire straits who stumbled into any church i deaconed at with the broken car and dire straits situation. Let me rephrase: "all things are possible with Jesus and without Him you can do nothing". And "respect for God is the beginning of wisdom". That is what i had to come to grips with to get out of financial dire straits in a highly hostile-to-yankees enviornment. You do what, think what, say what you want. It is not my job to convince you, only to explain to you the way out. You do what you want with it. If you think it to be insult, well, there will come a day you get to stand in front of Jesus in person and either be blessed or talk your dire straits situations and how insulting i was for jerking the slack out of crime of not listening to your parents or teachers or whatever put you in dire straits in the first place.
