| Description of the problem | 1) the miles per gallon reading is unpredictable its advertised to give around 27 combined but i have never reached that 27 mpg, though i drive in low rpm ) the vehicle does not slow down for long distance even after releasing the gas pedal resulting in abrupt braking in lieu of gradual braking in stop & go traffic 2) the drivers side seat malfunctioned at around 15,000 miles 3) the car has a leak from 1000 miles onwards but the service center refuses to help, i called hyundai they advise me to call the service center, i feel as if after a valuable investment there's no customer satisfaction or customer redressed process. 4) lack of corporate service department that can answer warranty related questions. |
