| Description of the problem | This car has so many recalls its scary. I've had my car checked multiple times for recalls from the seatbelt to the engine bearings. My engine light came on a few months ago and i've noticed this car doesn't hold oil well and i have to constantly check it. I was leaving a store on a main highway and my car statred8to jerk. A few moments later, the warning lights on my dashboard were on. I pulled off the ride and tried to park and the car wouldn't stop! I had to put the car in park in order for the car to not keep rolling down the road. The car will run while in neutral but not while in drive. The scariest thing was i thought i was going to hit a building not far from where i parked. Thank god i thought quick. I'm disappointed in the hyundai brand. Never had i had so many issues with a car. All the repairs are super expensive for the inconvenience customers have. I like my car but with so many different recalls and issues every 6-12 months shows poor quality and its unsafe to operate. I'm unhappy i purchased this car and found 4 open recalls after it was off the lot. |
