| Description of the problem | I purchased a used 2008 hyundai sonata from a hyundai dealer there was no indicator lights on the said the care had been inspected. I had the car for 3 weeks then a air bag light was on. So i took to the dealer because i had bought a 2 year warranty on the car. They told me that i would need a new seat belt buckle and they would have to reprogram the computer. Them i was told it was not covered under my warranty and i would have to pay over 400 dollars to get it repaired. How is this legal to sell a vehicle that is knowing sell a vehicle which they know about? |
