| Description of the problem | I have a hyundai santa fe. I have had three major issues with the car and one small cosmetic issure. The major issues have been with the structure of the car, the wheel axel, the alignment, and the engine block. All of these items have either been loose, broken, or defective. Yes, they keep fixing the car, but it's a new car. If i wanted a car that needed to be repaired weekly i would have kept or purchased an used car. I fear for my safety and the safety of my family riding in this car. We have been lucky so far that i have been able to catch these defects before we've gotten into a major accident. |
