Consumer Description
I PURCHASED THIS CAR 3/2012 DEC 2013 MY CAR HAD TO BE TAKEN IN FOR THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS , SUNROOF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, TOOK IT IN TO KENDALL HYUNDAI, CAR WAS OK BUT HAD LOW POWER. FEB 2016 CAR HAD TO GO BACK IN MY TRUNK LOCK WOULD NOT RELEASE. OCT 2016, ENGINE HAD A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND AFTER OIL CHANGE & SERVICE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP, I HAD TO HAVE AN ENGINE CHANGE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF. AS RECENT AS MAY 26, 2017 MY CAR FAILED , OIL LIGHT FLICKERING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK ON JUN 22, 2017 AFTER ANOTHER ENGINE CHANGE. THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK AND WILL TAKE THE CAR . THE DEALERSHIP HAS SCHEDULED THIS TUESDAY & THAT THEY WILL KEEP THE CAR AGAIN FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS. IT IS VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE MY CAR HAS NOW HAD 2 ENGINE CHANGE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I HAVE LOST THE VALUE IN THE CAR AND IT IS & WAS LEMON CAR. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR SELLING FAULTY CARS. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AT EACH ENGINE FAILURE. I HAVE ALL MY RECORDS ON HAND.
