The struts went out while I was driving. After it went out the, tires would touch the fender of the car. It damaged the passenger side and driver side of my front fender. It also rubbed the tread away from the tire due to rubbing against the fender. It was not safe to drive because it was so low to the ground that I almost tore the front fender off.
I would like this email forwarded to the ceo of Hyundai USA or who ever can help a customer who has purchased an Equus. I refuse to speak with customer service as they are totally useless and don't understand my concerns. My car has been at the keiffer Hyundai shop for now going on 5 months. To this day you have spent over $30,000. 00 on parts and labor on my car and yet to figure out what is going on. My questions is - are you using my car as a test bed if so then why am I paying $575. 00 per month loan on my car when you should be doing that. The service dept. Manager is also very frustrated in how you are handling this. If I got an Equus to drive while you are fixing mine then I would not be complaining - but I have had everything except that - elantra and santa fe. I have asked your customer service people to help buy back my car and they refuse. I have asked to exchanged my car and they also refused. What is next??? when will I get my car back??? how long is too long when it comes to customer not having their car. If I had a chance I report this all over. I bought this car from a Hyundai dealership in lima, OH therefore it was checked out . . . Why did a Hyundai dealership sell me a lemon???.
Car unresponsive to inputs from the accelerator pedal. Multiple dashboard warning lights - vsm off, dsc, epb, psb, airbag, and check engine lights; vehicle still running. The first instance occurred on a freeway feeder road while going 45mph; car was unresponsive to any inputs from the accelerator for approximately 10 seconds, simply acting as if there were no throttle inputs. Turning to head home immediately, the vehicle responded similarly while traveling 25 mph on a residential street; it began coasting and any throttle application resulted in no acceleration. Car limped home and parked for dealership tow truck.
After a few months of purchasing car the ecs light started illuminating which in return gave car a spongy, bouncy ride etc. , height function would not work. After repairs were done 1st time around June-August of 2013 seem like every few months problem would occur again and again, latest being July 2014,car was placed in shop July 7th and car was just returned July 31st it has been an ongoing problem that I think will continue from my experience since purchasing car, I am no tech or engineer but for a fairly new car that's not that old this problem should not be happening, it is mind boggling.
While we were driving the car, the car's front suspension suddenly failed, the front collapsed and the body of the car nearly touched the ground on flat grounds and dragged against the ground on inclines and declines. The wheels rubbed against the body of the car on turns and the car became very unstable and started to shake. This episode has occurred thrice despite manufacturer's repairs. This second episode resulted in mild whiplash.
