Consumer Description

UNFORTUNATELY, AT 50,000 MILES MY CAR BEGAN HAVING MAJOR ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN A YEAR, SINCE I BOUGHT MY USED CAR, AND IT IS HAVING MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUES. EVERY TIME I GO FROM PARKING TO DRIVE, OR DRIVE TO REVERSE, MY CAR JUMPS. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IT JUMPED IN MOTION. AFTER THAT INCIDENT I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AGAIN. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. A NEW TRANSMISSION COSTS OVER $3,000 DOLLARS! I AM A STUDENT AND DO NOT HAVE THAT MONEY, NOR WILL I HAVE IT ANYTIME SOON. THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE CAR, GETTEL HYUNDAI OF CHARLOTTE COUNTY FLORIDA, NEVER ADVISED ME THAT HYUNDAI'S HAVE BEEN KNOW TO HAVE TRANSMISSION FAILURES. I INVESTED MONEY INTO A CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE BECAUSE IT WAS FAULTY WHEN SOLD TO ME.
