Hyundai and Kia are telling the owners of nearly 92,000 vehicles in the U.S. to park them outside because an electronic controller in an oil pump can overheat and cause fires.

    Ya know, amongst the Hyundai hate, I kinda forgot that my first car was a used 2003 XG350… and I did love that thing. Drove it into the ground, but it really held it’s own until I finally had to scrap it in 2017.

    I switched to Honda because simple repairs are easier and parts are normally cheaper. And it’s just overall, a better and more reliable car. But that xg350 was pretty damn good to me

      They were also pretty reliable in the 90s bleeding into the early 2000s lol

        I think I got lucky with that one. Changing the alternator was a huge pain in my ass, but it mostly performed as expected and was otherwise incredibly reliable. RIP my first car, you were good to me
