Biggest xxx Ever!

May 6, 2023

By Dan Burdette from Biloxi, Mississippi

Owns this car

This has been the WORST vehicle we have EVER purchased! Electrical issues CONSTANTLY! 3 times we took it back to Hyundai dealership with interior overhead lights not working. Last time, they said it had a short in it and they supposedly replaced the entire interior lights. By the time we got it home, no more lights AGAIN! Also, they keep replacing the fuse with a 25 Amp where a 10 Amp is supposed to go. Now, more electrical issues as it won't even start! My credit is going to crap, but I'm calling bank on Monday and telling them to come get this overpriced xxx out of my driveway! We will NEVER EVER buy another Hyundai or Kia! JUNK! Buy American!
