| Description of the problem | After owning the car for one month (980 miles), my car lost power steering, air, and engine power while driving. A warning came on that said, "check charging system." it was towed to the dealer who said that they had never heard of the problem and that there was nothing wrong with the car. I refused to take the car back until a district parts and services manager can look at it. I called the hyundai corporation who didn't seem too concerned. This is an extremely dangerous problem that hyundai is not acknowledging. |
