Recall # 03v257000, 09v125000, 03v496000 severe rusting and corrosion under my car which they claim was "fixed" under the recalls. They did not fix this! the front driver side axle is completely corroded and breaking - they claim they sprayed it with anti corrosion compound but this did not stop further corrosion and rust. The brakelines were also sprayed but this also did not work! my brakeline rusted out and all my brake fluid went out while driving. Hyundai is now refusing to correct the problem which by federal law has to be done!.
I had to replace struts in front.
My car problems started approximately 6-8 mos after purchasing the vehicle. I was having problems with the car starting, engine, radiator, gasket, alternator, and fuel sector just to name a few issues. Over the years, I had this vehicle in and out of mechanic shop & Hyundai dealerships. The vehicle was brand new, and I left off of the lot with no more than 10 miles on it. I am furious because I knew that the vehicle was a lemon, however the Hyundai dealership kept fighting me on the claim. After 9 yrs. With this vehicle, I have spend approx. As much the vehicle, just on repair alone. I contacted the bbb and Hyundai about my concerns and would like for my claim to be reviewed in its entirety. The car fax report will show every repair on my vehicle. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at[xxx] or [xxx]. Thank you for addressing my concern.
