Consumer Description

THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT HAVE OCCURRED TO MY HYUNDAI SONATA 98 SINCE I GOT THE CAR AS OF SEPTEMBER 2003. I'VE HAD TO PAY OVER $700.00 IN TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT COSTS, AND FUEL INJECTION SYSTEMS THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP WHILE WARRANTED (BOB CIASULLI HYUNDAI). IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER'S SIDE PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE IS NO LONGER WORKING WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY THE "DEALER SERVICE STATION". LATER I FOUND OUT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MOST HYUNDAI 98 SONATA MODELS FOR THE PLASTIC DOOR LATCH. I AM UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. A SAFETY HAZARD. AND EVEN MORE FRUSTRATED AND TIRED OF DEALING WITH BOB CIASULLI'S DEALERSHIP.
