| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2003 sonata bought new in july 2003, now has 11000 miles. 3 weeks ago texaco discovered a leak around the rt. cv joint. i took it to key hyundai who said they fixed it. it was still leaking as of yesterday. yesterday i was driving home from work when i heard a rattle from the rear. my engine started ticking. suddenly the car shot forward and sounded like something fell out from the back. i was about 100 ft from my driveway (thank goodness this did not happen on the interstate) so i pulled in with a trail of red fluid following me. my driveway is now covered with this fluid. the key hyundai of jacksonville had someone bring me a loaner car and said they'd clean up the spill. i had the car towed to them. no word yet. i travel the interstate before dawn daily and home again sometimes very late. i can't imagine what would have happened if this occured during those times. i will never trust this car again and refuse to drive it again. it scares me. i want my money back. |
