Consumer Description
MY CAR CAUGHT FIRE WHILE BEING TOWED BY MY MOTORHOME IN SOUTH MIAMI, FL ON ROUTE TO KEY WEST, FL. A SOUTH MIAMI, FL HYUNDAI DEALER REPAIRED MY CAR BUT DID NOT REPLACE ALL THE PARTS PAID FOR BY MY AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY. THE REPAIR SHOP DID NOT KEEP THE BURNED PARTS AS REQUESTED BY ME AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE. LATER, ANOTHER HYUNDAI DEALER COMPLETED THE REPAIRS AS AUTHORIZED BY HYUNDAI USA AFTER NUMEROUS COMMUNICATIONS WITH ME, BUT THE HYUNDAI DEALER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH THE BURNED PARTS AS REQUESTED. HYUNDAI DID NOT REPORT THAT A FIRE HAD CAUSED THE DAMAGE. NOT SURE IF HYUNDAI USA OR ITS DEALERS HAVE REQUIREMENTS TO REPORT FIRES IN THEIR VEHICLES. I HAVE NAMES OF CONTACTS WITH HYUNDAI USA IN CA. I HAVE THE BURNED TPMS SENSOR NOT REPLACED BY HYUNDAI, BUT PAID FOR AT MY EXPENSE TO A TIRE STORE IN MY HOME TOWN. I HAVE PICTURES OF MY CAR ON FIRE; PICTURES OF THE BURNED PARTS ON CAR IN POSSESSION OF MY INSURANCE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE; I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM THE SOUTH MIAMI HYUNDAI REPAIRS, AND I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM THE OTHER HYUNDAI DEALER FOR PARTS NEEDING REPLACEMENT BUT NOT REPLACED BY THE SOUTH MIAMI HYUNDAI DEALER BUT PAID FOR BY MY AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY. I ALSO HAVE A RECEIPT FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE BURNED TPMS SENSOR BY A TIRE STORE IN MY HOME TOWN. I FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE SOUTH MIAMI HYUNDAI DEALER WITH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR LICENSING AUTO REPAIR SHOPS IN THAT COUNTY. *TR
