| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2002 elantra has been blowing bulbs since the car was 2wks. i have replaced all bulbs in the car appox. 40times. hyundai has replaced bulbs and now even charges me for bulbs i have been fighting this for 3 years now. hyundai says there is no short. meanwhile my trunk alarm has never worked. manfrediy where i bought the car new said the factory installed alarm does not alarm the trunk. guiffre hyundai said the trunk was alarmed and just doesn't work. give me a break, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that there is a [xxx] short in the car. the regional office did nothing and did not even meet with me. i was told to call an arbitration comp. more time lost i sent them 350.00 in bills that i paid on the out side to replace bulbs and that's not counting the bulbs that hyundai had the nerve to charge me. now today i get a letter that my car is too old to go through arbitration. hyundai just jerked me around and i will be stuck with the bills and continue to pay for bulbs. i cant think of anything else to do except go to the media. if you have any help you can give me. i would greatly appreciate it.hyundai also expected me to make an appointment everytime a bulb or bulbs blew. they would have had the car more than me if that was the case. they have insulted my intelligence. and have lost me for a future customer. and the problem is, i really love my car and the way it drives. if only it would not keep shorting out information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr |
