problem #1

Sep 262005

Elantra 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 28,000 miles
Upon having my vehicle repaired for an illuminated "check engine" light, my mechanic discovered that my rear struts were leaking due to a manufacturing defect. My car has 28,000 miles on it. It was apparent to him that they had been leaking for a while, although this would be an undetectable problem to myself, the driver. My dealer refuses to repair it under the warranty due to the fact that it was discovered 2 weeks after the warranty expired.
