mmaxx May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 most of the time it's just human error, but people are unwilling to admit their mistakes. in the end, all just say SUA as it's a cheap way to get out of trouble. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor68 Turbocharged May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 Personally, I don't feel comfortable of having so many things decided by electronics. Don't we want to drive the car or we want electronics to drive it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor68 Turbocharged May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 Since it is not self-driving, isn't we decide how it is driven? Not when electronics decides when to stop or move faster or slower. Imagine you are stuck in a rail track and the train charging at you but the electronics says cut off engine to save fuel haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger1 6th Gear May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 Personally, I am not surprised. Have been noticing many previous model Sonata taxi having some form of brake light failures. Be it the third brake light kaput of either left or right light blown or all 3 lights very dim when braked. You guys observe my finding when you are on the road next time. Have told my wife to stay far far when following one of those old Sonatas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 (edited) Cable operated still the best. You see Mr Bean... He stringed up and used broom sticks to steer his effectively dyfunctional mini clubman. If MRT train, sure can use cable ties to tie over...

7hm Turbocharged May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 maybe must equip all cars with a low-light cam in the footwells. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben5266 Supercharged May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 maybe must equip all cars with a low-light cam in the footwells. Yes. The most kiasu car in Korea has 5 cams. Front, back, left, right and ... driver's foot. My colleague from Korea asked us the question before. Where is the 5th camera? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have told my wife to stay far far when following one of those old Sonatas. normal wear and tear rah, brake light switch faulty need to replace with so high mileage,is a normal wear and tear items. Brake light bulbs are BA15D mostly with 2 filaments. One turn on when you switch on head lights another is when you brake both filaments will light up tgt for the maximium brightness. Its all part of the maintenance thingy rather then car issue. It happens to all car. For unintended, i guess is mostly due to throttle body sticking, should have a maintenance schedule to included the throttle body cleaning as well.

Alheych 6th Gear May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 Well... can't it be the number of Sonata taxis on the road, coupled with the kind of mileage they cover, simply make the probability of a Sonata being involved with a careless driver even higher? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
