Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought my 2001 hyundai sonata less than 2 years ago. since that time i have had to replace both window motors, front and rear brakes, timing belt and all tires. i would have thought that a brand new car would be trouble-free (that's why i chose hyundai, because of the great warranty) however, it appears that is not the case. my car recently broke down on my way home from work, had to be towed and was in for repair for a week (timing belt), which was a huge inconvenience and expense for me. i am now looking for a suitable trade-in for my hyundai and would not recommend one to friends and family members.*ak
