| Description of the problem | In may 2015, i received a letter from hyundai motors america concerning a defect in my 2006 sonata's seat belt buckle assemblies (campaign txx2) causing the airbag light to illuminate. I took my vehicle to waco hyundai located at 1501 w. Loop 340, waco, tx 76712 on 5/14/15 for the campaign notice and other maintenance/repairs. Waco hyundai failed to honor the campaign letter refusing to repair my sonata based on the fact my sonata had been previously wrecked. I purchased my sonata a few years prior when it had about 10,000 miles on it knowing it had been wrecked at some point prior. It had 76,002 at the time i dropped it off for service. Waco hyundai advised if i had a complaint to call hyundai motors america which created case #7944327. It took hyundai motors america over a month, but they too would not honor the campaign letter because my vehicle had been previously wrecked. My vehicle is currently registered, passes state inspection and is road worthy by all appearances and applicable standards, but neither waco hyundai nor hyundai motors america would honor their own campaign txx2 notice. |
