Consumer Description

AFTER I HAD MY ENGINE REPLACED PURSUANT TO THE RECALL IN 2017. PRIOR TO 2017 I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. ONCE THEY PUT THE NEW ENGINE IN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEY REPLACED 4 DIFFERENT PARTS AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND STILL MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEY FOUND THAT THERE WAS A SMALL AREA IN MY HARNESS WIRE THAT A MOUSE HAD DAMAGED. I DROPPED MY CAR OFF IN OCTOBER 2018 TO HAVE THE FRONT AND BACK WIRE HARNESSES REPLACED. SINCE THAT TIME HYUNDAI CANNOT GET THE WIRE HARNESSES DELIVERED TO FIX MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR FIVE MONTHS NOW AND HAD NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THE WIRE HARNESSES. I HAVE TO DRIVE AN ELANTRA WITHOUT LUMBAR SUPPORT FOR THE LAST FIVE MONTHS, WHICH HAS CAUSED ME BACK PAIN SINCE I HAVE HAD 6 BACK SURGERIES. ADDITIONALLY MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE REGISTERED SINCE 2017 SINCE IT WILL NOT PASS SMOG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.
