| Description of the problem | My 2011 sonata was purchase brand new. After just having the vehicle 2 1/2 years i noticed that i had already accumulated 48000 miles. I have not worked since purchasing the vehicle and i have not traveled in the vehicle. The furthest one way that i may go is 10 miles to shop. I only drive the car 15 days each month. I have now had my car 3 yrs and 4 months and i already have 69,000 miles on it. Which means that between november 2013 and today, i have put 21000 miles on the car. That is far from right. I have only put about 5000 - 8000 on the vehicle, if that many. I took the vehicle to the dealership and was told that i would need a camera to prove any mechanical error since they didn't see anything. There is obviously something wrong with the vehicle. This is affecting my warranty since i have gone over 60000 and a lot of mechanical problems will no longer be covered. |
