Hyundai Entourage Starting/Stalling/Idle Problems

• Re: 2008 Entourage engine stalling or hesitating [1alexr]

  Written by: 1alexr on Feb 18, 2010 6:37:36 PM

  Just returned from the Hyundai dealer, they ordered an oxygen sensor, they said it's on the manifold (intake or exhaust, I forgot to ask) it wasn't in stock and they quote a simple R&R without having to program anything, no program updates or anything. After that's done, I'll post the results to see how it fared. They said a TPS issue would probably result in a VERY SIMILAR set of symptoms. ... Read More

  it sounds like your having a TPS SENSOR PROBLEM, whenever the sensor goes south or the voltage is erratic, it throws the car into "limp mode" once in limp mode the car wont accelerate pass 35 mph its sort of like a fail safe systems. this vehicles carry a drive by wire system with an electronic throttle control, it uses the tps sensor and the accelerator pedal switch to determine how ...

I insisted I wanted teh 20,999 "out the door" they said they'd see what they could do. The guy came back with a price of 24k and some change after taxes, fees, etc. ... Read More

  I just purchased my 2008 Entourage GLS with premium package from the dealer with only 35 miles on it and think I got a great deal. Yay! However, this is considered a used car since it has been "titled" before and is considered a "demo". I purchased this car over the Honda Odyssey purely based on safety ratings and features. However, when I got home and was looking online (to reassure ... Read More

Minivans - Domestic or Foreign

• Re: First Minivan [blueolive]

  Written by: hjc1 on Mar 30, 2009 5:52:17 AM

  The first thing I would suggest is to read the various blogs on the Minivans you have some interest in. Although informative you must remember that these blogs are biased because people seem to complain more then the satisfied owners. Looks like GM and Dodge minivans won't be in business much longer so that might not be a wise choice at this time. That leaves Honda, Toyota, Ford (Flex) and Hyundai ... Read More

  I had a very similar experience and you will see some of my posts back in 2007. I bought my Entourage in January 2007 and reported a vibration issue within 3 weeks of owning the vehicle. Very long story short, in August 2008 (18 months after my purchase) I received a full refund for my Entourage. I had my vehicle in the shop 12 times, met with the regional Hyundai Representative ...

  I checked out your comment that the DVD does not have headphones. According to a dealer who has Entourages on the lot and has driven them, the Entourages do have headphones and gaming ports. If the Entourage didn't, it would be the only minivan on the market that didn't, including the Sedona. I mean, I wasn't there, but perhaps your salesman wasn't aware (the first salesman I talked to at a ... Read More

  Re: the navigation system. Look for Hyundai and Kia to offer a nav system in the 2008 model year. Hyundai does not like to borrow the technology of others and is in the process of developing their own navigation system which should be available in many of their models next year. This info was from a reliable Hyundai dealer and has also been mentioned in other forums.
