On February 24, 2012 I went out to my car to go to daycare and work my car was lowered to the ground all four tires seem to be flat. I called the closest garage. They towed my car, repaired it for $2028. 91. In September 2014. , I received a recall from huyundai for the coil spring. After 6 months correspondence with them, they gave me only 949. 03. I feel they should reimburse me the entire expenses.
I bought a 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe on June 22, 2006 . In July 2006 I took a trip to san antonio, texas. While I was out there, my engine light came on and went off a few days later. After a few months when it came back on I took it to ray bryant service center where I bought the vehicle. They checked it and got the light to go off. As I was on my way home the light came back. Every time I brought it back the light would come back on and is still on. Sometimes as I'm driving it feels like it loses power . I also brought it in for the front end because it always feel like I have an egg in the left front tire. Instead of the service worker didn't check it out he said he had a Santa Fe just like mine and that his didn't do that and never did a thing about it. I've brought it to another mechanic and he couldn't find the problem. I've bought new tires and the same problem, so I brought it back telling them that it feels like I have an egg in the tire they checked it and can' find anything wrong with the tires. As time goes by the problem is getting worst. I feel really embarrassed when I have someone in my truck and it rides like that. I do hope that there's something that can be done about this problem because I am on disability and can't afford to buy another vehicle. I really love my Santa Fe.
Got in a roll over accident where the air bags did not deploy and caused serious injuries.
