Vehicle broke down within 5-6 months period

15 September 2021

I purchased a Tucson 2.0 CDR 2006 at Hyundai Northcliff. After a purchase, they took a week indicating that there were still somethings (arm bushes) which needed to be fixed prior handing the vehicle to me. However, after the vehicle was handed to me, started giving me problems of loosing power just in a week's time. I reported the issue to their workshop manager, Flynn. I took the vehicle back so they can have a look on it. After a another week later they gave it back to me. It gradually continued with the power error and I was giving them a benefit of the doubt that the vehicle did not have a mechenical problem. Fast forward, 27/03/2022, the vehicle broke down - completely dead. It never responded and had to call my insurance to come tow me to home and organized another tow to Hyundai Northcliff so they can have a look on the vehicle and advise. I am very much certain that Hyundai Northcliff has sold dead vehicle to me and my family. A good quality car should not be giving you problems just after a period of 5-6 months. These people have played me and I am going to fight my way out concerning this matter.

I have written the above message to Hyundai Northcliff/South Africa
