Got car in 2011 in 2015 it stopped working after making loud noises that began with a chirp, found out it was alternator and battery. Had to borrow to fix it it was $700 +. 14 months later it did it again, the shop guy was so angry he contacted his parts guy and got another alternator, I had the car towed to joseph's garage and they installed the second alernator! now its doing it again!!!! I cannot keep doing this. Going to ftc, BBB, and attorney general. Also federal consumer protection.

While drive about 60 mph the check engine light came on (02/20/2018). I went to get the codes read by a local auto parts store. The codes P050A and P0326 were identified. I have had many issues with the check engine light coming on with the same codes. When I make an appointment to get it checked out. The check engine light goes off. I have just had my vehicle inspected and emission test completed by the #1 cochran Hyundai dealership (monroeville, pa) on 02/16/2018. This seems to be a continuous issue. Check engine light comes on for maybe a week or so then goes off for a week or so.
