NHTSA Complaint #10037353 — 1997 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT MY HYUNDAI ELANTRA HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHER MOTOR, IN 1997, I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 1998, AND IN 2002 MY MOTOR BLEW UP. I TOOK IT IN AND THE SERVICE SAID THAT IT WASN'T COVERED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET IT FIXED! I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A RECALL SO I TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID THAT IT HAD NEVER BEEN RECALLED - AND I TRIED CALLING THE HYUNDAI HOTLINE 800) 633-5151 AND I PUSHED 5 TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE ABOUT IT AND IT HUNG UP ON ME! N A 2 MONTH TIME SPAN ALL FOUR OF MY INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BROKE WHICH I THINK SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR BEING SO THIN AND FRAGILE ANYWAY! IF HYUNDAI WANTS TO MAKE CARS WITH WARRANTIES I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD HONOR THEM AND FIX THE CRAPPY CARS THAT THEY MAKE!*AK
