NHTSA Complaint #10282927 — 2008 HYUNDAI ACCENT

PURCHASED 2008 HYUNDAI ACCENT FROM METRO SUZUKI, DARTMOUTH NS ON AUGUST17, 2009. WAS INFORMED BY SALESMAN WHEN BUYING THE CAR THAT THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE HAD A BROKEN AND MISSING STUD. BUT WAS REASSURED THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE HOME(500KM DISTANCE). A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN I HAD THE STUD REPLACE THERE WERE ALSO TWO MORE STUDS BROKEN ON THAT SAME TIRE, SO IN ACTUALITY I DROVE A CAR 500KM WITH THREE BROKEN STUDS. THE CAR WAS SAFETY INSPECTED AND PASSED WITH NO INFRINGEMENTS ONLY DAYS BEFORE THE PURCHASE BY MECHANICS EMPLOYED BY METRO SUZUKI. I FEEL MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WAS JEOPARDIZED BY THIS HASTY SALE. I FEEL THEY ONLY WANTED MY MONEY AND WERE EAGER FOR ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO MY OWNERSHIP. *TR
