'Why would a dealer who is chasing a Hyundai problem tell you that you have to fork over on your own to fix a long standing problem on the manufacturer's part?'
REPLY: I agree. I think its time to contact the regional Hyundai Manager for her locale ; perhaps he has some history of this problem . Or...take it to a good qualified independent Mechanic who can diagnose the real cause ., then return to the Hyundai Dealer/Regional Manager with the Mechanics written report for warranty repair. The least the Dealer should do is drain the P.S. fluid and add a different kind to see if that helps instead of putting it back on you .
I have a 2002 SantaFe without any problems at 33,000 miles.
