| Description of the problem | My 2015 hyundai sonata has been back and forth to the dealer. Every time i turn around the this car has a recall. I don't even know about the recall until a light pops up or i have a weird noise while driving. One time the car just felt weird while driving and i went to get it checked out and found out about the recalls. First seatbelt, then engine line needed replacing, then another part needed replacing, then another. After going there monday for for the engine immobilizer, the brake hold light being i was told something was replaced, and oh a recall was handled. Then to come back friday and after 4-5 hours be told the abs has to be replaced, meaning i have to come back because it has to be ordered. Then, after leaving, now the tire pressure light is on, and there appears to be enough air in each tire!! So i don't know what is going on. Note to self, don't by a car before the year it comes out. Bought this 2015 in 2014. I really think the manufacturer needs to notify consumers of these recalls. I shouldn't find out about them only after bringing the car in for an issue or an oil change. |
