They declined our request stating that we had to just keep fixing the car until there was a remedy. I explained that it is a safety risk for my 77 year old mother to be driving that unsafe vehicle until hyundai identified a solution to the vehicle stalling issue. Philip, at hyundai was rude, impatient and just kept repeating himself until I asked him if he would put his mother in that vehicle with the 197 safety recall. Then he was silent.
