Consumer Description

MY RIGHT HIGH BEAM STOPPED WORKING, I HAVE TO ADD OIL TO MY CAR EVERY 3 DAYS. BURNS MORE GAS GOING BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. GOING AROUND A FAST HIGHWAY CURB, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN THE SPEED OF MY CAR AND WOULD NOT STOP DROPPING DOWN TO 45 MPH IN A 70MPH PACKED HIGHWAY. AWFUL EXPERIENCE. CALLED IN THE PROBLEM TO HYUNDAI AND THEY DIDN'T SHOW ANY CARE. I HAD AN ACCIDENT HAPPEN AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM COULD BE A RESULT TO THE ACCIDENTS. THE CASE HAS BEEN CLOSED AND NOTHING BUT A PAPER FROM A LAWYER ABOUT GETTING $1000 FOR MY CAR BEING AT HIGH RISK. I HAVE THE CASE NUMBER AVAILABLE. IT'S BEEN NEARLY A YEAR.
