Comment on US agents arrest 475 in raid on Hyundai-LG plant
AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 3 days agoI don’t think SK can do anything about it, unfortunately. Our shitty fucking government doesn’t care.

I wish the rest of the world would put us under trade embargo. The US imports an absolute fuckton of South Korean electronics and cars. KIA is quite well established here, especially as a budget car.

100% agreed. Make us feel the pain.

Budget car? Where you get that from?
It costs like $7 for a thermostat for most other brands, but it costs $17 for a thermostat for a 2005 Hyundai or Kia, not counting the $11 rubber gasket.
And don’t get me started on the cost of their starters, almost $300, goddamn ridiculous prices, especially for a used vehicle.

Owning and maintaining a car is different beast i presume.

I had a 91 Chevy Corsica, it only cost me $87 for a replacement used transmission and torque converter, fully functional and with reasonably low mileage for the age.
So why the fuck does a mass airflow sensor (yes just a fucking sensor) cost $96 for a 2005 Hyundai Tucson?
Fuck, if I want a budget vehicle, I’ll find a cheap used junker somewhere suffering some mystery issue where all it takes is disconnecting a basically unnecessary sensor somewhere.
Guess what sensor I disconnected on my roommate’s Hyundai…
