| Description of the problem | I bought a new 2009 hyundai sonata limited- i took it the hyundai service in yonkers ny to test drive my new car . It seemed to me the car had bad front shocks absorbers. After being driven by one of their service men he agreed that something was very wrong. I was told to bring back the car when the new shocks arrive. The manager and his service men were very courteous to me and handled the situation very professionally. Until the time the new shocks arrive i will not use the car, because i consider it a danger on the road. I'm hoping that will be the answer to the problem. |
