Consumer Description

I EXPERIENCED A CRASH WITH THIS VEHICLE WHEN THE STEERING FAILED (AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL NOTICE NHTSA CODE 15V100000). I COMMUNICATED THIS FAILURE TO HYUNDAI AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED BUT THEY DENIED THAT THERE WAS ANY ISSUE WITH THE STEERING. HYUNDAI HAS SUBSEQUENTLY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM WITH A FORMAL RECALL NOTICE. THEIR FAILURE TO ADDRESS THIS WHEN NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM IS AN EXAMPLE OF PRODUCT NEGLIGENCE.
