| Description of the problem | Bought a 2006 hyundai sonata march 18, 2006 at ourisman hyundai in laurel, md. A week later, march 25, 2006, had to have the car towed back to the dealership because the engine over heated, while in heavy traffic, due to the fans not working. The dealership ordered a fan module and placed it in my car. The dealership allowed me to take another brand new 2006 sonata as a loaner until my car was fixed. I told the dealership i did not want my car back and to give me another 2006 sonata. After days of calling back to see if they would, they refused. Picked up my car from the dealership friday, march 31, 2006. April 18, 2006 bought the car back to the dealership because the a/c was not working. The dealership told me the fans are not working and there is an electrical problem. They are renting a car for me until my car is fixed. *jb |
