Consumer Description

GOOD MORNING! I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY SONATA AND I NEED ASSISTANCE AND ADVISE. MY VEHICLE HAS BROKE DOWN WITH ME ON 3 OCCASIONS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE MY WARRANTY WILL BE RUNNING OUT AT 60,000 MILES AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY. THE BELT THAT GOES FROM THE A/C TO THE MOTOR AND THE ALTERNATOR CONTINUES TO FRAY AND BURN UP IN PIECES. AT THIS POINT THE CAR IS INOPERABLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED THESE BELTS WITH CHAIN BELTS ON THE NEW SONATA'S BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. EVERYTIME I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AND IT HAS HAPPENED (3) TIMES. I CONTACTED THE HYUNDAI COMPANY LAST THURSDAY AND NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME OR MADE AN ATTEMPT TO TALK WITH ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER. MARCIA SMITH *TR
