South Korea is proud to have its largest Automaker Company, the Hyundai Motor Company, as it is considered globally as the Sixth Largest Automaker, producing 1.6 million units every year. Its logo, a slanted letter "H" represents two people shaking hands, which depicts the company and the customer, symbolizing cooperation between the two parties. And with the literal meaning of Hyundai in Korean, "modernity," the company is steadfast on its promise of modernity incorporated in the vehicles that they produce.
1967 was the year that Hyundai celebrated its birth into the automotive world after its founder, Chung Ju-Yung, established the Hyundai Engineering and Construction Company in 1947. The success of its first release of Korean car, the Pony in 1975, was immediately followed by global exports the following year in 1976. Hyundai's first trademark in technological independence came in 1991 when they were able to produce their first proprietary gasoline engine, four-cylinder Alpha and its transmission. Finally after conquering the American market in 1986, their Excel model received recognition from Fortune Magazine as it was nominated 10th Best Product mostly because of its affordability.
Partly because Hyundai is mostly know to produce Sports Utility Vehicles, Vans, and Mini-Vans, the most likely damaged part of it is its radiator, which is usually located in the undersides of the car. Their vans and minivans are almost always used to provide transportation for long trips, thus driving it along off-road trails, and on highways for a long period of time. Because of this function that it always plays, the underside are exposed with debris, rocks, and other hard particles found on the road. Radiators are usually made with thin construction, and so the end result could be a broken radiator and a leaking coolant system. A malfunctioning radiator could cause a lot of mechanical problems such as an overheating engine and blown gasket that are rather too costly to repair. To be able to prevent such incidence, the best solution is prevention. Have the Hyundai vehicle regularly checked by a mechanic, especially before and after long trips, be sure that its radiator is checked if it is in a good condition.
Refilling the water of its coolant reservoir would temporarily repair the damage caused by overheating but this problem is sure to trouble Hyundai drivers again after some time. Also, flushing its radiator or replacing its hose or tubes, where the hot fluid goes through for cooling, can solve it only temporarily. These problems should be dealt with permanently, better sooner than later. Traveling and making a stop due to a steaming engine is a real embarrassing situation to be with. Not only will it mean a damage on the engine itself, but also a damage to the cost of its repair and a somehow-wrecked family outing.
The best bet for a solution to the overheating problem is to replace it with a new that perfectly fits the specifications of the vehicle and could harmoniously work with the rest of the Hyundai engine. Debris and other unwanted hard particles will soon be no match for the Hyundai radiator and radiator troubles will cease to exist.
