Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After having the car for almost 2 years with no problem the engine started to show that it was getting hot. i found that you could make the temperature go up and down just by adjusting the temperature of the ac. the car would run fine then the temp would red line in about 10 seconds and drop back to normal. after this happened a few times i took it to my local hyundai dealer ship. they changed every thing in the car from the dash cluster to the water sensor and every thing between. after 2.5 weeks they sent an engineer from there manufacturing facility to look at the problem and 2 days later they found the ground bad. i was given a loner car and they took car of all the issues under warranty.
