| Description of the problem | I received a recall letter on my 2006 hyundai sonata regarding the stop lamp switch. I knew i had this problem, but when i took it in on june 24, 2009, i was told it would cost me approximately $275. 00 to repair. I cannot afford such repair. Then the manager of the service dept. Came and offered to repair it for less, but that he would call me later with a quote. I never received such a call. Today, i took my car back to service dept. At 7:00 in the morning and was told it would take until about 7:00 in the evening to repair, when i told them i could not be without a car that long, i was told that they had to see if even my car qualified for this recall. The person came back to say that my car did not. I would like a response to this request. The woman taking down my information did not even listen to the other things i was complaining about, such as a rubber (do not know correct name) fell off from the sunroof and other items. She did not even hear about those item. |
