Consumer Description

AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR IN 2018, I LEARNED THIS VEHICLE HAD MANY RECALLS. AFTER DISAGREEMENTS AND ARGUMENTS HYUNDAI, SUPPOSEDLY INSTALLED A BRAND NEW ENGINE. I WAS THEN NOTIFIED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE OTHER 'RECALLS' ON THIS VEHICLE. AFTER MORE DEBATES AND ARGUMENTS THEY CLEARED OUT ALL OF THE 'RECALLS' ON THIS VEHICLE AS IF THEY WERE FIXED, AND THEY WERE NOT FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. I STILL HAVE MANY ISSUES WITH THE 'SO-CALLED' RECALLS SUCH AS AIRBAGS, DRIVER SEATBELT AND STEERING COLUMN.
