Description of the problem | Yesterday 8/10/16 while returning home from park and ride , driving 1/2 into traffic my transmission failed again for a few minutes leaving me in a traffic situation in the middle of the road where cars had to weave around me causing another dangerous position to be in. As a matter of record once again my safety driving this car was in jeopardy with no resolve from hyundai. Hyundai states that my case is in escalation which has no true definition as to resolve. I have no choice but to involve every government agency that handles safety and any form of media to let them know that they will not be safe in vehicles produced by this company based on the handling of my case. This is the third incident i have encountered with less than 2100 miles on the car. It is important to inform all as to the danger it puts people in. In addition there are multiple complaints publicized with the same problem , dangerous unsafe positions people have encountered and no results from hyundai. When safety is concerned , generic generated emails from hyundai will not prevent unsafe situations that can result in serious injury and possibly loss of life. I am stating for the record, once again that i want hyundai to take back their vehicle for full refund . |
