Consumer Description

PURCHASED THIS CAR USED AND WITHIN TWO YEARS AT 80K THE ENGINE IS DONE. ALWAYS TROUBLES EVEN BEFORE ...OIL AND CONNECTIVITY ISSUES BEFOREHAND, SHOP HAD 3X, PAID MY 100 DEDUCTIBLE 3X BECAUSE I HAD PURCHASED 3K WARRANTY ADDITIONALLY AT THE TIME OF SALE. SO AS IT STANDS NOW, I HAVE NO CAR AND OWE 8K ON A LOAN. HYUNDAI WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALLED ENGINE THAT WAS SO CALLED REPAIRED, I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THEY STATE. MY WARRANTY COMPANY SAYS ONLY PAYING FOR VALUE OF CAR AND THEN YOUR WARRANTY WITH US IS VOID. THE AMOUNT THEY ALLOW IS ONLY FOR A USED ENGINE, WHY WOULD I BUY ANOTHER USED ENGINE WITH THE SAME ISSUES WITH NO WARRANTY COVERAGE, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THE SHOP LOOKED FOR A MONTH AND TO NO AVAIL WAS THERE A USED MOTOR IN THE USA...HUMMMM, I WONDER WHY? SO TO BUY A NEW ONE, YOU GO OVERSEAS AND THAT WOULD COST ME 3K MORE ON TOP OF THE WARRENTY PAY OUT AND 6 WEEKS OUT LEAD TIME. I CANT BELIEVE WITH ALL THE ISSUES PEOPLE HAVE AND THE MORE AND MORE RECALLS THEY ARE DOING FOR ENGINES AND FIRERS THEY ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THESE CARS AS WELL. I AM NOW OUT 8K ON MY LOAN AND NO CAR. I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE OR HAVE A GOOD THING TO SAY ABOUT HYUNDAI OR KIA...EVER !!! THIS IS COST ME SO MY TIME AND MONEY AND AGGRAVATION I FEEL LIKE GOING TO MY LOCAL NEWS WITH MY STRORY, THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG!
