I notified hyundai,western nat'l, taylor automotive in ga., and todey in ca. Not until after I called with charges was I told hyundai had to do the repairs for warranty. Ca.

Hyundai nullified my powertrain warranty 1month later. I was told by hyundai's cust serv.in ca. That I had no right to call my situation an emergency,only they had that right.
