NHTSA Complaint #10124160 — 2002 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

2002 ELANTRA HAS BEEN BLOWING BULBS SINCE THE CAR WAS 2WKS. I HAVE REPLACED ALL BULBS IN THE CAR APPOX. 40TIMES. HYUNDAI HAS REPLACED BULBS AND NOW EVEN CHARGES ME FOR BULBS I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS FOR 3 YEARS NOW. HYUNDAI SAYS THERE IS NO SHORT. MEANWHILE MY TRUNK ALARM HAS NEVER WORKED. MANFREDIY WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW SAID THE FACTORY INSTALLED ALARM DOES NOT ALARM THE TRUNK. GUIFFRE HYUNDAI SAID THE TRUNK WAS ALARMED AND JUST DOESN'T WORK. GIVE ME A BREAK, IT DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A [XXX] SHORT IN THE CAR. THE REGIONAL OFFICE DID NOTHING AND DID NOT EVEN MEET WITH ME. I WAS TOLD TO CALL AN ARBITRATION COMP. MORE TIME LOST I SENT THEM 350.00 IN BILLS THAT I PAID ON THE OUT SIDE TO REPLACE BULBS AND THAT'S NOT COUNTING THE BULBS THAT HYUNDAI HAD THE NERVE TO CHARGE ME. NOW TODAY I GET A LETTER THAT MY CAR IS TOO OLD TO GO THROUGH ARBITRATION. HYUNDAI JUST JERKED ME AROUND AND I WILL BE STUCK WITH THE BILLS AND CONTINUE TO PAY FOR BULBS. I CANT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE TO DO EXCEPT GO TO THE MEDIA. IF YOU HAVE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.HYUNDAI ALSO EXPECTED ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT EVERYTIME A BULB OR BULBS BLEW. THEY WOULD HAVE HAD THE CAR MORE THAN ME IF THAT WAS THE CASE. THEY HAVE INSULTED MY INTELLIGENCE. AND HAVE LOST ME FOR A FUTURE CUSTOMER. AND THE PROBLEM IS, I REALLY LOVE MY CAR AND THE WAY IT DRIVES. IF ONLY IT WOULD NOT KEEP SHORTING OUT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
