Consumer Description

FOR THE PAST MONTH I HAVE BEEN HEARING A KNOCKING COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD ALSO AS IM ACCELERATING MY CAR SEEMS TO SLIP A GEAR AND LOSE SOME SPEED. I LOOKED UP THESE THINGS ON LINE AND THATS WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR WAS RECALLED. I CALLED HYUNDAI TWICE AND WAS TOLD YES MY CAR IS ON THE RECALL LIST BUT AS OF NOW THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION. THEN ONE DAY AFTER WORK WHEN I WENT TO START MY CAR IT HESITATED TO START. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO HAVE MY BATTERY CHECKED AND THE MACHINE SHOWED IT HAD 70% JUICE. WENT ON TO DO MY SHOPPING CAME OUT TO START MY CAR AND IT WAS COMPLETLY DEAD. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THEM, WHICH I DID AND NOW IM JUST WAITING TO FIND OUT WHATS WRONG. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE!
