| Description of the problem | In july of 2108 we took out hyundai sonata gls gas 2. 4l to graham dealership in mansfield, oh for and engine replacement in recall. One of many recalls for this car. When we went to pick up the car i noticed the steering has become an issue. The problem was not there before the engine replacement. I went back to the dealership to tell them of the problem and they said they didnt cause it. Which the steering is under recall to add to the problem already. They refuse to fix the recall saying its too late. This recall is under the campaign 097 recall. What can i do to get this fixed before something happens such as an accident? I have filed a complaint online with hyundai but have not heard back. Our car set at the dealership for 1 1/2 months to be fixed. As we also have brakes that went bad from sitting so long. |
