Consumer Description

AROUND FEB OF THIS YEAR, MY CAR BATTERY DIED AND I GOT IT REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. SOON AFTER I STARTED EXPERIENCING AN ADDITIONAL GRINDING NOISE THAT WOULD OCCUR SOMETIMES AFTER START UP. UPON INVESTIGATION, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE STARTER BY HYUNDAI. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC HOWEVER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH SELECTOR, THAT IT HAD GONE BAD AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HOPE THIS SOLVES THE PROBLEM. *TR
