| Description of the problem | After having the vehicle idle for approximately 40 minute with my family inside the vehicle, the left front side caught on fire. Damaged to the left side fog light, engine area. Vehicle was taken to hyundai services station in new york (bronx services station), and them the nightmare started. After 14 days and multiple calls / visits to the services station, i was not giving a reason for the incident. All hyundai did for me was waste my time and effort, they do not back that so call bumper to bumper warranty. Ps huyndai veh engineer that look at my car was a joke, all he did was look at the car and stated "its missing something". He also refused to id himself... Corporate office would not give any solution except for my to go thru my insurance..... Dont bother complaining just go to the media with your issues. |
