Nothing at all. I traded in a 1999 Sonata for this car in Nov of 2003 and it is my third Hyundai. The car has been remarkable in terms of ride, acceleration, quietness, and reliability.
What things have gone wrong with the car? Haven't owned it long enough to give a goo review on things gone wrong. So far everything is operating the same as the day we drove it off the lot.
Very poor gas mileage - below sticker minimum; service manager says this is normal for Hyundai due to ethanol in all gas - so much for the warranty and federal disclosures!

In three years and 45000 miles of motoring, nothing has gone wrong, and I mean nothing! My last car was a company car, a 2005 Mazda 6 2.0 diesel. A great car, but not comfortable at all, the wife hated it.
We are now bringing our car in for the 3rd time for the same problem. The power window regulators fail and/or break. A few months after our purchase the front drivers side window failed. The window went down, but failed to go up with out me having to pull it at the same time.
