NHTSA Complaint #10691959 — 2005 HYUNDAI XG350

HELLO. I WAS SOLD A LEMON BY [XXX] OF AL'S MOTOR SALES LOCATED ON 1126 N. MONTELLO ST, BROCKTON, MA 02301.WHEN I WENT FOR INSPECTION I GOT A REJECTION STICKER BECAUSE THE CAR NEEDED A CATALYTIC CONVERTER, TIMING BELTS, AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON, HEADLAMPS AND A BACKLIGHT, AND WOULD MYSTERIOUSLY ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN FOR NO REASON WITHOUT MY FOOT BEING ON THE GAS PEDAL! ONCE I RAN A VIN SCAN REALIZED THAT HE RECEIVED THE CAR LIKE THIS BUT NEVER DISCLOSED THAT TO ME. HE ALSO LEFT THE INFORMATION OF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS IN THE VEHICLE. RATHER, HE TURNED OFF THE O2 SENSOR LIGHTS AND LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE CAR COULD PASS INSPECTION. I TRADED MY 1998 INFINITI I30 FOR A 2005 HYUNDAI XG 350 SO THAT THE PRICE OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER BE $3500 BUT $2400. WITHIN TWO WEEKS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. [XXX] HAS AVOIDED MY CALLS AND GOTTEN VERY VERBALLY AGGRESSIVE IN PERSON WHEN I SPEAK TO HIM ABOUT HIS ACTIONS. HE HAS AGREED TO REFUND MY MONEY, INFINITI, CAR KEYS, $2400.00 AND BRAND NEW BATTERY I PUT IN THE HYUNDAI, BUT KEEPS PUTTING OFF THE TIMES WE'RE TO MEET. I BELIEVE HE IS TRYING TO BLEED OUT HIS TIME WITH THE LEMON LAW SO THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE TO ADHERE TO THE REFUND. WHEN ASKED TO READ THE TERMS OF HIS OWN FEDERAL BUYERS GUIDE, HE COULDN'T! I WOULD LIKE HIS WHOLE OPERATION INVESTIGATED AS HE IS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL AND KNOWINGLY ROBS PEOPLE CONTINUALLY. HE HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS GOING ON 4 WEEKS. MY TRUST AND RIGHTS HAVE BEEN RAPED AND I WOULD LIKE JUSTICE. AS A SCHOOL TEACHER I NEED THIS CAR TO GET WORK AND INSTEAD, I TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WHILE PAYING CAR INSURANCE. THIS DEALER IS ILLEGALLY SELLING VEHICLES THAT ARE COMPROMISING THE SAFETY OF OTHER MOTORISTS AND PEDESTRIANS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE MATTER BEFORE IT EVOLVES INTO A TRAGIC FATALITY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
