Consumer Description

THE HINGES FOR THE REAR SEAT FLIP-UP ARMREST BROKE WHEN I SAT IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS ARMREST IS ALSO THE COVER FOR THE SMALL STORAGE COMPARTMENT UNDER IT. NOW THERE'S NO COVER ON THE COMPARTMENT AND NO PLACE FOR REAR PASSENGERS TO PUT THEIR ELBOWS. THE HINGES ARE ONLY PLASTIC, BUT HYUNDAI WON'T ALLOW THE DEALER TO FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY.
