Took 2007 hyundai sonata to dealership in january 2008 to fix problem- they refused because problem is not consistent. After receiving recall letter, took auto back to dealership and again they refused to help us, called their customer assistance center (1888-327-4236) again no help because dealership cannot confirm problem.
