| Description of the problem | I writing because i am having issue with my vehicle. It will not crank. The battery is not dead because the lights, radio comes on, it will not crank at all i have a push botton one. I took it for a oil change on july 15 2016 and had to pay a extra $75. 00 for air filter change. Now before i got the oil change my car was fine. So on monday 18, 2016 leaving the restaurant my car will not start. I press the botton and nothing happen i smell and saw smoke. Left up the hood nothing out of the ordinary. I read on media network, so many people having problem with their 2012 2. 0 t sonata hyundai, car not starting and mines is one of them. I just got the car march of last year and now the car is acting up. I don't have $1200. 00 to pay what medlin hyundai in rocky mount can't find. The service guy says it mybe the computer of the car, when someone tried to jump start it throught it off. But i told him that before i even got a jump start. The car made a noise and white smoke came from the hood of the car. They still blaming me but i think its their fault. The services guy said that the person that change the oil and air filter the car act like it didn't want to start. So why didn't they tell me that? I feel that they mess it up or there is a issue with all the 2012 hyundai sonata 2. 0 t that a recall need to be so the dealership car fix the all problems free. I need this to go to ceo of hyundai. There is something truely wrong with 2012 hyundai 2. 0 t sonata. And you know the dealership service don't even know what the problem is. He said it was no fuse blown, only thing they can assume that it's the computer is dysfunctional cause of the jump. But the car was smoking and didn't start before the jump. These sonata is killing our pockets, even the use ones too expensive. I don't gave $1,000 and $1,000 to pay out, that they don't know what problem is. Got car from gabe rowe. |
