| Description of the problem | I have had several occurrences where it feels as if my car is going to stall. I attempted to start my car this morning where it failed to respond. The starter was replaced in 2012, the battery replaced 2013 and now hyundai claims it is my starter lever that also needs to be replaced (2014). I have read numerous complaints from other hyundai owners complaining of the same issue. Now, i have to pay over $300 to have the starter lever replaced which will now be my 3rd issue since i have had this car. Also, i did suffer from the rear brake light issue that was recently recalled and have had to replace my back light several times before the recall was initiated. Due to my continuation of brake light issues post recall change, i am told that the lamp has melted due to the possibility of the bulb overheating the lamp. I do not see how any of these issues are my fault and believe that hyundai should recall, and replace all of these malfunctions. |
