2011 Hyundai Sonata timing belt service
I was having my 2011 Hyundai Sonata
steering wheel shaft fixed (no longer
covered under the 100,000 warranty); the
dealer tells me the timing belt needs to be
replaced. I told the dealer that I was told
this was a chain and would never need to
be replaced? They said the engine belt is
a chain; the timing belt is not. They were
going to charge me over $500 for this and
to replace spark plugs. I’m taking it to
another garage to see what they say.
There is no noise coming from the timing
belt. I saw on this website that in fact my
car a has a timing chain and not a belt. I’m
never buying a Hyundai again. There have
been about ten recalls for this car. I’ve
wasted more time and money on this car
than any other car I’ve owned. You get
what you pay for. I next time I’m buying a
Toyota or Honda!
