| Description of the problem | 2017 hyundai sante fe se, when first purchased i felt hesitation, according to dealer they was a update for the computer, i took it in for update which actually did not make a difference. At times when getting in vehicle to drive off and put in gear it would not move. Took to dealer for service tech drove car home and stated that there was no issues. After that i stopped using vehicle. I sent hyundai consumer affairs a complaint and they brushed it off. Since i didnt buy the vehicle at the dealer i took for service they could not give me a loner. Suspension has a defect changed tires at 15000 miles due to humming from rear, had vehicle aligned and new tires 6 months later tires are worn hyundai has suspension issues. Last, so far is engine knocks when starting vehicle. Its a shame that we have to make payments on vehicle that dont serve our needs and hyundai does not care but to have there payments on time. I contacted my attorney, planning to drop off at dealer and return to hyundai so the finance company can take it back either i get my issues fixed just like everybody else should or i stop paying and take it back. If you anybody that is interested in buying a hyundai vehicle like ours send them elsewhere. |
