problem #1

Jul 232007

Accent 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,526 miles
The check engine light came on in my 2007 Hyundai Accent the first time was on June 4, 2007 I took my car to the Hyundai dealer they kept it over night they said when they first hooked it to the machines the car would not start so Hyundai said let the car sit over night and after diagnostic test that morning they just needed to replace the spark plugs, I received my car on Tuesday, June 5, 2007. I took my car back on Monday, July 23, 2007 for the same problem the check engine light came on, they said they hooked it up to diagnostic machines and it would not start again they were told by Hyundai to let it sit over night. On Tuesday, July 24, 2007 the car still would not start they said they were communicating with Hyundai on the problem and they have not called them back with the correct codes. I returned on Friday, July 27, 2007 they told me that the engine was safe and if I wanted I could take my car with the engine light still on. I told them I didn't want the car with the check engine light still on that they needed to fix the problem. I returned on Monday, July 30, 207 the Hyundai mangers "assured" me that the engine was safe and that they would not replace the car and to give their techs the opportunity to fix the factory "gremlins" in the 2007 Accent that Hyundai is aware of and they are suppose to basically "rebuilding" the engine to my 2007 Accent and its to" better" than when I bought it back on Feb 10, 2007. I asked if again I asked if I could replace the car they said no that their tech's could correct the problem & also a possibility that my payments would be higher if I tried to get another car from them. As of Friday, August 10, 2007 they still have not corrected the Hyundai factory "gremlins" nor have I received any information on my car.
