Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought my hyundai used because of all the great ratings it got. it had about 30,000 miles on it. not old at all for me. the first time i took my car to dealer it was because of back window brake light staying on, and the cruise control not working. they kept my car for two days. i was told that the car was fixed but on my way home the cruise control still did not work. two days after i picked up my car, the cruise control mysteriously started working again. then a couple of months later i was driving down the street and my car started to act up and was hesitating while driving. i had it towed to hyundai and it was kept for two days again. i also let the dealer know at that time that the car had issues and was acting up, told him about the light issue again and that the cruise control worked on and off. the dealer said he changed the switch out, tuned up the car, had the inside gas filter changed because i asked for it, and wanted to sell me a $600 belt. i asked him if the belt was broken he told he that manufacture suggests changing it out at 60000 miles. i told him that the car did not have that many miles yet and again asked if the belt was bad. he told me that it was not but again said that the manufacturer suggests it be changed. well i personally don't see paying $600 for a belt that was not broken. if its not broken it shouldn't need to be fixed.
