Engine warning light comes on 8 times/seatbelts won't latch/transmission slips/poor acceleration/exhaust smells like "rotten eggs"--
I reported this information given to you to the main company in the month of august on several occasions; however, I have not received a response. In my opinion, this is totally unfair because I am making payments on an automobile that is literally falling apart. I feel that it hyundai motor finance company should have made some preparation to satisfy their customer,one who has an excellent paying history. I am very dissatified with this product and would like a better automobile, one in which I would feel comfortable driving and paying for in the remainder years. Please help! Thanks, carolyn b.
