| Description of the problem | Was getting onto the highway when my power steering gave out, was able to pull onto the side of the road away from traffic. My engine started knocking and i was unable to keep my car running. I had it towed to hyundai in clarksville maryland, where they stated i had engine failure and that it needed to be replaced. They are now telling me they can't replace it although it is under a recall and under the cut off mileage. They are not communicating with me about the repair of my car and have yet made any attempts to get me into a new car. At this point i don't want my car repaired, i would rather them buy my car back or put me in a new car. The car has 5 recalls that i an aware about including the engine, power steering, front seat belt latches, my brakes pedal, and front coil springs. |
