2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2016

Hello NHTSA administrator, I bought a new Hyundai Genesis in March 2010. Around August 2010, I had a small fender bender in the parking lot. To keep warranty intact on the car, Hyundai insisted that the wiring harness on the car be replaced, which I did for approximately $5000. Since then, I have had multiple electronic items go bad in the car. I replaced some of these at my own expense. But the problem has gotten worse with some expensive electronic components going bad over the last 2 years. In normal circumstances, these components should not go bad over the life of the car, and certainly not at a frequency that they have failed in my car. I attribute these failures to bad/defective job done during wiring harness replacement. But Hyundai has refused to accept responsibility since the car is out of warranty. Below is a list of the bad components, approximate date of the component going bad, whether it is replaced/fixed and approximate expense to fix them 1. Telescopic steering wheel--2015--repaired as part of warranty 2. Power switch assembly driver's seat--Jan 2016--$236. 19--paid out-of-pocket to get it replaced 3. Jog dial assembly--oct 2016--$1031. 70--paid out-of-pocket to get it replaced 4. Front cabin dome light assembly--Feb 2017--$376. 91--paid out-of-pocket to get it replaced 5. Smart cruise control--Mar 2017--not replaced--dealership gave me a quote of ~$4500 to replace 6. Passenger cabin dome light assembly--Aug 2017--not replaced--$4500 estimate to replace 7. Multi disc cd player--Feb 2018--not replaced--$1000 estimate to replace I would like NHTSA to investigate Hyundai for this matter and force them to pay for repairs. As a consumer, I feed cheated and being forced to double pay for repairs - once for the wiring harness replacement and now for all problems attributed to it. Sincerely, abhishek.
