Consumer Description

THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR LIGHT BULBS KEEP ON GOING OUT. HAVE CHANGED THEM ABOUT TEN TIMES IN ONE YEAR! I CANNOT CHANGE THEM ANYMORE AS THE PLASTIC CASING HAS MORPHED BY THE HEAT OF THE FUSE CONNECTOR TO THE BULB! THERE ARE TWO BULBS ROLLING IN THE CASING AS THEY CAME OFF WHEN TRYING TO EXTRACT AND REPLACE. ALSO I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ON MY DASHBOARD, EVEN WHEN MY ENGINE WAS KNOCKING DUE TO SHAVINGS IN ENGINE (THAT WAS REPLACED, THANK YOU). LASTLY, HAD TO REPLACE MY SHOCKS AND STRUTS THIS YEAR AND WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC AT BIG O TIRE THAT THEY CONTACTED HYUNDAI DIRECTLY AS THEY RAN INTO AN ISSUE WITH REPLACING WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECT STRUTS. THEY WERE TOLD THIS PARTICULAR CAR WITH ASSOCIATED VIN HAS THE 'GOOFY' STRUTS!!! I'M SORRY BUT I DIDN'T PAY A GOOFY PRICE FOR THE CAR!
