| Description of the problem | This was the date of the first incident, another incident happened three months later. We were just driving along and the air suspension system failed and the whole car, mostly the front dropped a number of inches, we could barely drive home and had to have vehicle towed, seems to be a very unsafe item. The first time it was the passenger side, second time it was the driver side. I contacted hyundai, and wanted them to buy back the vehicle, as i have had numerous other small issues go wrong, but this suspension problem feels very unsafe and actually makes me concerned when i drive,they refused to buy it back. |
