Consumer Description

I GOT AN ALIGNMENT AND ALL NEW TIRES. I WAS PULLED IN THE GARAGE TO FIND OUT THERE WAS RUST HOLES IN THE FRONT END OF THE FRAME BELOW THE ENGINE. I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND THERE HAD BEEN OVER 500,000 COUNTS OF DAMAGE TO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT YEARS AND MODELS. NONE OF WHICH INCLUDED MINE. I LIVE IN NY STAGE WHERE ROADS ARE HEAVILY SALTED FOR SAFETY. THE CAR HAS 158,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULDN'T HAVE 6 INCH HOLES IN THE FRAME. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY TO GET MY FRAME REBUILT WHEN THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY HYUNDAI. I WAS TOLD BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE TO CONTACT YOU IF THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I RESEARCHED ENOUGH TO ALSO FIND OUT IT WAS REQUIRED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO FIX ANY PROBLEM RELATING TO THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING. *TR
