| Description of the problem | my wife and i just recently purchased 2 2015 hyundai genesis coupe 3. 8 auto. This is a 3 month old car with 2700 miles. I took in once for squeak in rear area, they said could not hear it. I advised i would take tech out so he could hear it. They said they were to busy. Took back a second time, they said they could hear it, tightened everything in rear area abut could not find problem that may have broken weld!! They could not give me a loaner. After sitting my car across from their service center with a sign saying do not use this dealership that my car is still broken they gave me a loaner. That was last tuesday. The service center (long hyundai chattanooga, tn) said car was at body shop to fix a broken weld that there is a new technical service bulletin about this. This is a brand new 28k car with broken welds?? This seems very dangerous. We are waiting to see if car is fixed before contacting attorney. I have seen post going back to 2010 about broken welds on these genesis coupes. This seems to be a problem that is not being fixed. The broken welds could be dangerous if in a accident. |
