NHTSA Complaint #10566937 — 2009 HYUNDAI SONATA

ON OCTOBER 27 2013, THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS AND THE BACK ILLUMINATING LIGHTS, GLOVE COMPARTMENT AND OVER HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT, I TOOK IT TO A CAR REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CHANGED OUT THE DIMMER SWITCH, WHICH KEPT BURNING OUT,SMOKE HAS COME OUT OF THE DASH BOARD AND IT SMELLED LIFE FIRE, I PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT AND I AM AFRAID THE CARE MIGHT CATCH FIRE. AFTER CHANGING IT OUT 4 TIMES, THE MECHANIC TOLD US TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER.WE DID TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND $700.00 LATER THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IT, SO I HAVE FILED A CASE WITH THE CORPORATE OFFICE, THE CAR HAS HAD SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BEFORE, BUT IT HAS BEEN FIXED BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN RECALLS. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND THEY WANT US TO TAKE THE CAR SOMEWHERE ELSE. THE DEALER IS NO HELP, THEY SUGGESTED WE JUST BUY A NEW CAR!!! *TR
