3 Windshield Wiper/washer Motor problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2002

I recently found out that my Hyundai Elantra had been recalled for the windshield wiper washer motor, in 1997, I purchased the car in 1998, and in 2002 my motor blew up. I took it in and the service said that it wasn't covered and I would have to pay out of pocket to get it fixed! I recently found out that it was a recall so I took it in and they said that it had never been recalled - and I tried calling the Hyundai hotline 800) 633-5151 and I pushed 5 to speak to someone about it and it hung up on me! n a 2 month time span all four of my interior door handles broke which I think should be recalled for being so thin and fragile anyway! if Hyundai wants to make cars with warranties I think that they should honor them and fix the crappy cars that they make!.
