Consumer Description

LEASED A 2020 SANTA FE ON APRIL 24, 2020 AND ON JULY 9, 2020 IT STALLED AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND AFTER 20 MINS. WAS ABLE TO START IT. THE DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG. IN AUGUST 2020 THE CAR WOULDN'T START, AFTER A ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE JUMP THE DEALER SAID I'M NOT STARTING IT ENOUGH. IN OCTOBER SAME THING HAPPENED I GOT A NEW BATTERY FROM THE DEALER. IN DECEMBER THE SAME THING HAPPENED I GOT ANOTHER NEW BATTERY. THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT SOMETHING IS DRAWING POWER FROM THE BATTERY IN THE OFF POSITION. INSTEAD THEY SAY I'M NOT STARTING THE CAR ENOUGH. I START THE CAR 2 TO 3 A WEEK.
