Consumer Description
I just bought this car with only 58,000 miles on it back in October. The dealership I went to pressured me into buying this car for $5,000 more than the Toyota I went in for. I had a bad feeling from the start, but I’m young and easily taken advantage of. While driving a couple weeks ago, taking my [XXX] son home from the park, a check engine light came on. (First light to ever come on since getting the car) I was worried and took it easy trying to get home. The car didn’t make it home , it stalled, then wouldn’t start again. I got it towed to Hyundai and found out the engine has seized. I’m devastated. I’m a single mother and couldn’t afford this car very easily to begin with. Now I’m stuck with a car that I won’t be able to afford to fix and a payment. Why is Hyundai allowed to make & sell unsafe vehicles?
