Description of the problem | My recent facebook post: hyundai owners beware. Hyundai currently has 3 recalls that affect my car by production date, yet there are "no open safety recalls or service campaigns for this vehicle". The same last year when we tried to correct the defective transmission harness issue - it somehow didn't apply to our vehicle even though the part number was identical to that which was covered under the recall. Now there's a new issue - the vacuum assisted brake booster cannister failed due to rot/perforation , resulting in brake failure. Okay folks, are we seeing a pattern here? Something like this: industrial money matters, you don't. Buy our crap, buy more of it, keep on buying. We follow the rules, yet we don't. We make 155,000 cars in a calendar year and you get to pay for our mistakes because government regulations are designed in the manufacturer's favor - they couldn't care less about you. |
