Corrosion of subframe, causing it to break and then catch fire to the car under the hood, destroying wiring and hoses.
Speedometer on 2002 hyundai is defective, the dial just stops working dropping to zero for periods of time - I spoke to the dealership if my car had under 65,000 miles they would fix it free (which seemed to be an awareness of the issue in may car & others).
