Consumer Description

HAD A MINOR FENDER BENDER AND THE CAR STALLED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND WAS TOLD BY HYUNDAI THAT THE ENGINE CEASED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY FAULT . I HAD THE OIL CHANGED A FEW MONTHS BEFORE SO I KNOW THAT WAS NOT AN ISSUE. I WAS FORCED TO EITHER TRADE THE DEAD CAR IN OF PAY $6500. FOR A NEW ENGINE. HYUNDAI TOLD ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT HYUNDAI HAD NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. THEN AFTER 1 MONTHS AND BEING FORCED TO BUY A NEW CAR I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HYUNDAI THAT MY CAR WAS BEING RECALLED FOR THE ENGINE CEASING. I CALLED HYUNDAI AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT I HAVE FILED WITH YOU GUYS.
