Description of the problem | The constant recurring problem is my car will not start. I have been stranded several times and have each one documented. I also have problems with the steering wheel locking and the brakes are unable to press. I have contacted an attorney regarding the lemon law and she has notified the hyundai motor america. My car is currently in the repair shop again and this has gone on for the 2 1/2 years i have owned it. There are over 598,000 complaints against this model of car and the problems are very serious and can cause deadly accidents. My car will not click out of the cruise control feature so i cannot use that feature. The brake lights do not always work and i have been stopped by cars behind me to tell me i have no lights and they almost hit me. What does it take to get this model of car recalled before many deaths occur. The internet has this problem documented and a recall was issued to replace that switch. I have taken my car in to have the brake light sensor replaced twice and it still occurs. I have to continue to pay payments on this car while i drive a rental car. I basically do not have a safe car to drive so i can't go anywhere in fear of being stranded. Can you please look into this and safe lives before it is too late? |
