1 Ignition Switch problem

Failure Date: 10/22/2018

My car was parked on the side of my driveway and on Monday morning, I put my key in the ignition and the car cranked but did not want to turn over. The night before, my car was running fine. I'm lucky that it happened at home and not stranded elsewhere. I changed the spark plugs and checked the fuses and sensors and still it did not work. After reading other forums, there were alot of people who were having the same issue. A mechanic told me that I should change the ignition switch. I went to Hyundai parts to buy one and the guy who works there told me that the switch is a known issue and is made of plastic that can easily cause cracks or condensation where water can go inside. In addition, he mentioned Hyundai knew about this and made an updated part which is made of metal. Knowing that this was faulty and Hyundai had hid the information, the ignition switch should have been recalled and replaced free of charge.
