| 2008 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | THIS MAY NOT BE THE CORRECT PLACE TO REPORT THIS SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE I SHOULD REPORT THIS REIMBURSEMENT PROBLEM. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE PRE-NOTIFICATION. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUNAROUND BY HYUNDAI'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT. WHEN COMING TO THIS SIT TO REVIEW THE RECALL I SEE THAT THEY ARE VIOLATING THE PRE-NOTIFICATION REIMBURSEMENT PORTION OF THE RECALL AGREEMENT. BASICALLY SAYING THEY WILL NOT PAY UNTIL THE REPAIR COMPLIES TO THERE STANDARD. I HAVE ALREADY GONE TO A HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER AND THERE COMMENT WAS THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE IF THE NEW SWITCH COMPLIES SINCE THE NEW SWITCH AND THE OLD SWITCH LOOK THE SAME. HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS UNWILLING TO PROVIDE ME WITH ANY INFORMATION ON WHAT HYUNDAI SERVICE NEED TO SHOW THE REPAIR COMPLIES. THEY HAVE ALSO REQUIRED EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION THAT IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL AGREEMENT. I HAVE EXTENSIVE EMAIL DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THERE UNWILLINGNESS TO PAY AND MY INCREASING LEVEL OF FRUSTRATION. AGAIN I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE CORRECT PLACE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT SO PLEASE REPLY WITH INFORMATION ON WHERE TO FILE THE COMPLAINT. I ALSO THOUGHT YOUR AGENCY MAY WANT TO KNOW WHEN A AUTO MAKER DECIDES NOT TO FOLLOW A RECALL AGREEMENT. *TR |
| 2012 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DURING THE DAY AND LOOKED DOWN AND MY HIGH BEAMS WERE ON. I WASN'T SURE WHY SINCE MY LIGHTS WERE IN THE OFF POSITION. I TRIED PLAYING WITH THE LIGHTING SWITCH ON THE INSIDE OF MY CAR, AND IT FINALLY TURNED OFF AFTER FLASHING THE HIGH BEAMS ON AND OFF WITH THE SWITCH A FEW TIMES. I TOOK A PICTURE, AND THEN STARTED DRIVING, ABOUT A MILE OR SO DOWN THE ROAD, THE HIGH BEAMS CAME BACK ON, SO I HEADED TOWARD THE DEALERSHIP, AND PEOPLE WERE MOVING OUT OF MY WAY ON THE TWO LANE HIGHWAY SINCE MY HIGH BEAMS WERE ON. THE SAID WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, THEY COULDN'T BE SURE WHY IT HAPPENED. WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH IT HAPPENING AND THEY PLAYED WITH THE SWITCH TO GET THEM TO SHUT OFF AND TOLD ME I HAD NO CLUE HOW TO WORK MY LIGHTS, THAT MY DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS WERE ON, AND WHEN I INFORMED HIM MY CAR DIDN'T HAVE THEM, HE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME. I KEPT GOING BACK AND EVEN HAD MY LAWYER GET INVOLVED SINCE THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THERE WERE EVEN TIMES WHEN I STARTED MY CAR WITH THE REMOTE START AND THE HIGH BEAMS CAME ON THEMSELVES, AND I DROVE ALL THE WAY HOME WITH NO OTHER EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON SINCE I HADN'T REALIZED THE LIGHTS WEREN'T ON, SINCE THE HEADLIGHTS HAD BEEN ON. FINALLY WENT TO A SHOP THAT THEY WORK HAND IN HAND WITH TO INSTALL REMOTE STARTERS AND REMOTE DOOR UNLOCKS, AND THEY HAD TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL THEM THAT THE LIGHTING SWITCH WAS BAD. BEFORE THEY WERE CALLED, THEY TOLD MY LAWYER I PAID BOTTOM DOLLAR FOR MY CAR AND I MIGHT AS WELL SUBMIT A LEMON LAW REQUEST, BUT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO FIX IT. *TR |
