Car died just driving down the road. 1st Hyundai dealer told me my fuel was dirty, needed 1 new fuel injector and I should pay $330 to flush the other 3 injectors. Not covered under warranty. I called the dealer where car was purchased and was told to not have them do the flush - get the car and bring it up to them. Before I could get it up to them, the car did the same thing within 72 hours and had to have it towed to them. They told me I had purchased bad gas and all 4 fuel inj/fuel rail/gas tank needed to be replaced - $1187. 5-6 weeks later,same thing happened-out of town and they are telling me it's my fault and will not help-now its $1900 and Hyundai will not help at all. The dealership will not guarantee the work they did 6 wks ago. The car is in tulsa, I live in kansas city and have been without my car for about 3 wks. Hyundai will not loan me a car or help me get a rental. All they keep telling me is I keep buying bad gas. There is no way that I am buying bad gas. I purchase gas at the same place and so does everyone else in my family and noone else is having problems. I do not have the money to pay them and do not feel that this is my fault. I have called regional offices, etc and no one will help me. The impression I am getting from the service mngr in tulsa is that the car was not correctly fixed at my dealership. He won't come right out and say that but he is implying that more should have been done - hence the $1900 this time. Please let me know what I can do. I am not letting this go. I should not have to pay for this work and I'm not going to budge.
