| Description of the problem | Dishonest mileage claims: 2012 hyundai sonata."advertised: 26/35" - actual 24/25... Not even close. Class action suit in ca but, inexplicably, only 'certain' models. I've not heard one sonata owner 'happy' with their mileage. Its fraudulent and misleading at best. Hyundai is sending an engineer to look at the vehicle but if they're on hyundai payroll what kind of result do you think i'll get? |
