Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WHEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEARD A BANG AND THE CAR VEERED OUT OF CONTROL. IT WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. I REGAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INVESTIGATE AND I NOTICED THAT THE COIL SPRING BROKE. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY CHARGED AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT TO REPLACE. NOT VERY LIKELY THAT I WOULD PURCHASE ANOTHER HYUNDAI. *TR
