Consumer Description

BOUGHT MY ELANTRA GT HATCHBACK 4 YEARS AGO WITH 34K MILES USED, GOOD CONDITION! I HAD A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA PRIOR AND LOVED IT SO WHY NOT I THOUGHT. I HAVE KEPT UP WITH MY OIL CHANGES, TIRE ROTATIONS, NEW TIRES ETC RECENTLY THIS YEAR MY CAR STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE, WE FIGURED IT MIGHT BE THE OIL SO I REPLACED IT, BUT WANTED STILL THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT. ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR'S ENGINE LIGHT KEPT FLASHING, THEN WHEN I PULLED OVER THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT, THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, SO I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED AND SAID I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE BASICALLY, SOMETHING RELATED TO THE CYLINDERS ETC. I AM TRYING ALL AVENUES TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE CAR FIXED AND OUT OF MY HANDS, UNFORTUNATELY I AM NOT BUYING HYUNDAI AGAIN, ESPECIALLY SINCE READING THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HYUNDAI STILL REFUSES TO ADD THIS MODEL TO THEIR SONATA AND SANTA FE RECALL, RIDICULOUS. SORRY HYUNDAI YOU HAVE LOST MY BUSINESS SINCE YOU REFUSE TO TAKE UP RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR MISTAKES.
