Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE ALSO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN 5 OR MORE TIMES BECAUSE OF ISSUES. THE MOST RECENT BECAUSE OF A CONTINUOUS INCIDENT OF LOSS OF POWER DURING COMMUTE. MY CAR LOST POWER FROM THE TURBO. SOUNDS LIKE ITS DYING OUT AND STRUGGLES TO STAY ON.. DEALERSHIPS NUMBER ONE STATED BECAUSE OF TURBO FAILED SO ITS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE ENGINE. THEN THE SECOND DEALER TOLD ME ITS THE WASTE GATE SO ITS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT IS NOT APART OF THE INTERNAL ENGINE. SAID THAT IS WOULD COST MORE THAN 2,000 TO FIX AND MY CAR BARELY 9 YEARS OLD...... SO I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THE CAR THE DEALERSHIP ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE AWAY IN A DANGEROUS DEATH TRAP AND NOTHING FIXED. THATS JUST ONE ISSUE AMONGST A TON OF RECALLS THAT APPARENTLY DO NOT AFFECT MY CAR.
