| Description of the problem | On 01/25/2016 was on i20 driving to work when i started to smell like something was burning then warning lights came on that the car needed to be turned off and that the transmission needed to be serviced, my car had to be towed to dealership. Also the windshield started to crack well for starters my car has been at the dealership since jan. 25,2016 and here it is march 29th of 2016 and they barely called me that it is ready. Well since reading about powertrain recall and reading that my car has had that repaired once already and now repaired for the 2nd time i fear that this is going to be a on going problem and now i fear for my safety. When i spoke with dealership on 03/25/16 i made shop tech aware that the loaner i was using needed a new registration tag and now today my car is ready well that scares me. When i first spokwe with dealership service department it took them almost 4 days to let me know their findings and the way it was explained to me was people just don't know how to drive the 6 cylinder transmission making me feel like it was my fault when this whole time it has been a issue with this model. |
