| Description of the problem | Hyundai recall / sonata 2011 june 2018 : no remedy has still be announced , am still on "stand by" for a " possible remedy". Was recommended to continue my safety recalled car by hyundai consumer affairs , by brandon r. In huntington beach. And also andrew in corporate. After patiently waiting and requesting a loaner vehicle and manufactures refund, ive been directed to corporate to wait for this . We cannot just walk into a dealership and request a loaner vehicle. After waiting 2 months still no remedy, i am legally obligated to a refund or replacement which has still not implemented. After emailing the director of hyundais manufactures, jim trainor says he will try and help me due to the severity of my situation and relaying multiple reports of my model catching fire (non-collision) after denying my request for a refund and/or replacement in result of a loaner vehicle since no remedy has been found long after the notice described one by april 2018. This can simply be resolved if matters were taken seriously as we are told.. The manufactuers get away with too much. Instead of being greedy.. My vehicle will be in stationary and have a airbag warning light on. Electrical safety and airbag saftey make this vehicle unfit to drive. I am demanding a refund and replacement . |
