| Description of the problem | The valve cover gasket was leaking in to the alternator causing an electrical malfunction that almost caused a three car accident. Those parts have been replaced four times. Twice by firestone because the dealership told me that since there the ones that repaired it the first time i had to go back to them the second time. And the dealership repaired it twice since the recall has been reported. This vehicle is un safe for me to drive my children in and apparently hyundai has not found a successful way to fix the problem but yet im being inconvenienced at my expense due to paying tow fees,rental fees, and diagnostic testing. |
