    TSB110 worked for me as well... seems a lots smoother of shifting and definitely better gas mileage. FYI, there is also a UVO update that is out, that my dealership found and applied, and my bluetooth actually synced up to my phone perfectly for once (droid pairing issues).

    Well...with all the chatter about the WGA voltage, I called my SA over at my dealership and, as part of my FREE 12 month/12K mile adjustment period, they are going to check my voltage and perform TSB110 just to ensure that the WGA is within the 4.2 +/- 0.1 Voltage requirement. I am also going to have another FREE 4 wheel alignment done...gotta love it when a dealer takes care of you without any questions or hassle

    No tracking issues at all...still perfect as the day I bought it. I am just going to take advantage of every FREE service I can get to ensure the car remains at 100%

    Got my car back yesterday; they had to manually open the Waste Gate because it had stuck shut, thus making the TSB110 and rod adjustments of no use since the gate was not opening. Once they opened the gate, the voltage adjustment was made and the car is running perfectly. They also did the UVO update and rotated my tires for free.

    If all goes well from here, I am a happy camper; if this kind of stuff continues, I am trading it in on a Sonata Limited.

    The sonata has the same 2.0T. Therefore wouldn't it have the same waste gate problems? Thus, making your trade a pointless waste of money?

    I just took my 2012 turbo to dealer today...there is a known wastegate malfunction and . They are going to replace the waste gate and see if that fixes my problems. I took the car to the dealer twice before they acknowledged it was a problem. They kept trying to play it off like I had put it in manual shift mode and just didnt know it. I will post update tomorrow or Friday when they finish the car.

    They are IDENTICAL in every way! To go from a KIA turbo engine to Hyundai would be futile...and stupid!

    Do they know about the TSB110 update? You may want to ask them about it. I seriously doubt the entire Waste gate is bad opn your brand new 2012
