Hard starting Hyundai accent 2004 GL 4dr. sedan 1.6 l 5 speed\r\nEverything has been replaced on this car and it still has a hard time starting. After it won't start the first time you shut everything down, try it again and it starts perfectly. I'm retired on a fixed income and two Hyundai dealers have tried to find the problem and no solution, I can't afford to keep this up. I contacted Hyundai Canada and they say only their dealers can talk to tech reps , not the public. Please help me out !!!

SOURCE: Black clamps for rear seat? Where do they go?

There are 2 small kinda u shaped clamps that sit on the floor. Those are used to hold the seat down to the floor of the car. You set the seat down and push it in toward the back of the car as well as down at the same time to lock it into those clamps. If you look up near the edge of the area where the seat goes you should see the holes for those brackets.

SOURCE: Rear struts failed after dealer put car on lift.

you have a reason to be doubtful. very seldom would something like that occur unless the srut was near it's peak functionming and starting to fail. the strut is always under pressure because of the spring so " not meshing sounds bogus to me. i have been a mechanic for over 20 years and i can't give you one example of this happening on your model of car or any other models. to be quite honest a strut that fails only after 4-5 years very seldom happens to begin with. but does happen. my advice is to take it to a small shop whjere the quality of work is better and the cost cheaper and have them examine it. let me know what they say and get back to me. just click my user name on this site i will be more than happy to help you further if there is more questions that you have
