Santa Fe 6-cyl

  • 4,000 miles
The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact purchased the vehicle for its fuel economy and weight capacity to tow a trailer. At the dealer, the weight capacity was listed as 3,197 in the rear and 2,976 in the front. The contact received a recall letter, which decreased the weight capacity of the vehicle. The contact feels that the manufacturer was misleading since he believed that the vehicle could tow a certain amount of weight as discussed at the dealer. The contact does not want to drive the vehicle and feels that his family's lives could be in danger. The failure mileage was 4,000. Updated 09/10/08 updated 09/17/08.
