Consumer Description

BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND AT 20,000 MILES IT ALL STARTED TO GO DOWN HILL. MY CAR SHAKES & STALLS HESITATES BAD LOSS OF POWER ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT EVEN LEFT IT THERE FOR 9 DAYS STILL NOT FIXED I HAVE A $398 PAYMENT FOR A CAR I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE. I WILL NOT PUT MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR I AM THAT AFRAID OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT. HYUNDAI DOES NOTHING NO ONE CAN FIX IT & EVERYONE HAS THE SAME COMPLAINT I DO ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THESE CARS NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!!! I PAY FOR A CAR THAT I KEEP PARKED THATS INSANE!!! MY CAR IS UNSAFE AND A ROAD HAZARD AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING FOR ANY OF THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. I HAVE EVEN BROUGHT VIDEO FOOTAGE TO HYUNDAI AND THEY JUST UPDATE MY COMPUTERS WHICH MAKES IS WORSE HALF THE TIME.
