| Description of the problem | Campaign #092 was replaced on my vehicle at bel air hyundai on 9/14/2010. The vehicle was there for other regular service and the recall was performed. At that time, the switch was not a problem. No check engine light and we were unaware that this recall was even performed. I'm sure it was listed on my paperwork. This week, my check engine light comes on and my abs light stays on. I took it to autozone. The code was p0504. Faulty stop lamp brake switch. I looked it up online, unaware that it was already replaced once. Called bel air hyundai, made my appointment, took the car in on august 29, 2014. I was told by [xxx] that my car did not qualify for this recall. Not that it had been replaced, but that my vin did not qualify. I took my vehicle back because i could not afford the $160 repair on the switch that i really and truly thought would be covered by this recall. I called hyundai customer service and opened case# [xxx]. The gentlemen i spoke with gave me the information regarding the completed campaign from 9/14/2010 and suggested that i call bel air hyundai back again and that they should replace this switch for free. I did as he suggested and was told by [xxx] that this was not their policy to perform recalls twice and the repair was going to cost me $160. Needless to say, i'm a little unhappy about all of the work that i've had to put into this and i'm still going to be out money for this repair. This is a faulty switch as per the recall. Who is to say the 2nd one is not faulty as well? Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).? |
