POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT THAT CONTROLS THE TRANSMISSION, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL GET A RECONDITIONED ONE IN, BUT I CAN GET A BRAND NEW ONE IN OCTOBER. BOTH THE DEALER AND HYUNDAI HAVE BEEN TOTALLY UNCONCERNED THAT I NEED THIS CAR TO MAKE A TRIP TO HELP MY DISABLED FAMILY MEMBERS IN OHIO. I HAVE NOW ASKED FOR A LOANER VEHICLE TO MAKE THE TRIP. AND I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM ON THAT. I AM FOLLOWING THE STEPS NECESSARY IN CASE I NEED TO PROCEED WITH A LAWSUIT BASED ON THE LEMON LAW.*JB
