| My hyundai elantra has many defects, and had been to the dealer where purchased. they claimed nothing was wrong, and they wouldn't warranty any of these problems. another problem i faced was less then a month after the car was purchased the battery failed and that was not under warranty. so i had to replace it at my cost. the door handles in the summer get hot and melt and fall off, i've had to replaced all door handles in the interior, said this was not under warranty. my a/c knobs keep falling off and breaking, and this is also not under warranty, so at my cost they have been replaced twice. a recent problem the windshield wiper washer hose located on the outside of the wind well was frozen, and now is broken due to the inclement weather froze up. last month the hose snapped in two pieces. i have also contacted the dealership where purchased for a owners manual and still have not received one. i just found out that these cars where recalled in 94 and 95 .and i was not told at time of purchase. i am wandering if the car was checked out for these recalled matters. i think that there are more problems with this vechicle than what i was told at time of purchase. please review this information and contact me with asap. thank you. *ak | |||
