| 2004 | TIRES | I PURCHASED HYUNDAI ACCENT 4DR COUPE AND WAS SURPRISED AT THE INSTABILITY CAUSED BY THE TINY TIRES IT COMES EQUIPPED WITH. I WAS FURTHER DISTURB WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT HYUNDAI WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND PUT LARGER WHEELS AND TIRES ONT HE GT VERSION FO THIS CAR TO INCREASE STABILITY. THE BASIC CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON WINDING ROADS AND VERY UNSTABLE IN EMERGENCY MANEUVERS WITH THE STANDARD WHEEL-TIRE COMBINATION. HYUNDAI SHOULD REPLACE THE STANDARD WHEEL WITH LARGER MORE STABLE WHEELS AND TIRES AS THEY PUT ON THE GT VERSION.*AK |
| 2013 | ENGINE | CAR OWNERS WILL HAVE TO TAKE MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS. AFTER 3 DEALERS, CONTACTS WITH HYUNDAI MOTORS AMERICA CORPORATE, AND AT LEAST TWO CONTACTS WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS AUTO LINE, OTHERS AND THIS MANUFACTURER COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THEIR CARS AND EVEN LESS ABOUT THE CAR OWNERS. I THINK THE FTC AND NHTSA ARE BULL. NOVEMBER 19 INGLEWOOD CALIFORNIA SMALL CLAIMS COURT CASE [XXX] JUDGE RULED MARINA AUTOMOTIVE LLC DBA LA HYUNDAI AT LAX ENGAGED IN "CONCERTED FAILURE TO PROVIDE WARRANTY SERVICE AND CONSTITUTIONAL PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION" DID NOT HAVE AN "ANTI-DISCRIMINATION POLICY" AND "DID NOT HONOR RIGHTS" OF A CAR OWNER. JUDGE FOUND HYUNDAI DEALER LIABLE FOR $609 REPAIR COSTS PLUS $115 COURT COSTS AFTER OWNER OF A 2010 HAD TO GO ELSEWHERE FOR INSPECTION AFTER NO INSPECTION BY THE DEALER. AND A BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU COMPLAINT IS PENDING AGAINST HYUNDAI AND ITS DEALER ASKING FOR THE LICENSE REVOCATION OF BOTH AND EQUITABLE DAMAGES OF $25 MILLION DOLLARS EACH AFTER DEALER AND HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA REFUSED TO INSPECT 2013 HYUNDAI. THE DEALER LA HYUNDAI AT LAX'S AGENT [XXX] SAID ON AUGUST 15 VOICE MAIL TO CAR OWNER AFTER REFUSING TO INSPECT: "...WE HAVE CONSULTED WITH HYUNDAI AND WE ARE COMPLETELY WITHIN OUR RIGHTS NOT TO SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE....WE READ YOUR BLOG OF YESTERDAY...AND ALL THE CLAIMS YOU MADE...WE HAVE ALREADY VERIFIED WITH HYUNDAI THAT WE DO NOT NEED TO ACCEPT ANY CLIENTS...PLEASE DON'T COME TO BUY A CAR OR TO DO ANY OTHER TYPE OF SHOPPING HERE ....FOR SERVICING IT IS PROBABLY BEST YOU GO BACK TO [THE DEALER] WHERE YOU BOUGHT IT FROM....WE ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO SERVICE ANY VEHICLES FOR ANY CUSTOMER THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SATISFY." NOTE THAT NONE OF WHAT THE HYUNDAI EMPLOYEE ALLEGES HERE IS STATED IN ANY OF HYUNDAI'S ADVERTISEMENTS OR WARRANTIES. THE WARRANTY SAYS A CAR CAN BE TAKEN TO "ANY AUTHORIZED DEALER" FOR WARRANTY INSPECTION AND REPAIR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR |
