1 Underhood Wiring problem

Failure Date: 08/01/1998

I reported this information given to you to the main company in the month of August on several occasions; however, I have not received a response. In my opinion, this is totally unfair because I am making payments on an automobile that is literally falling apart. I feel that it Hyundai motor finance company should have made some preparation to satisfy their customer,one who has an excellent paying history. I am very dissatified with this product and would like a better automobile, one in which I would feel comfortable driving and paying for in the remainder years. Please help! thanks, carolyn b. Thomas. Not air bag complaint (e. G. , seat belt, trailer suspension air bag, etc. ) added on 09-07-1999.
