Duh, sorry didn't see it..

Hopefully it's over the bungling of the nav system updates.

B U T ~ Their KRA** work remains.........
Maybe Hyundai Service/Customer Care will now acknowledge the issues with our Radio & Nav units!!!!

My guess it is about the recent recalls or the MPG fiasco or both. Bad publicity is never good and someone has to take the fall.

From Consumer Reports:


In recent years, Hyundai and Kia were beginning to challenge the Japanese at the top of Consumer Reports' reliability rankings. In 2011, they scored well ahead of Detroit and most European companies. But they slipped a bit in the 2013 survey, with Kia ranking midpack and Hyundai sliding to 21st place.

Maybe it's because of the Chairman's radio mysteriously stopped working? Or maybe he couldn't use his new Samsung Galaxy S4 in the car?

More likely that his brakes didn't work. With the new 2015 Genesis coming out, I don't think radio problems on first generation Genesis is a big deal, but faulty brakes on model year will scare the bejesus out of consumers.

Nah, when the janitors cleaned his office they found owners letters re brake issues tucked under his carpet........
At a board meeting he suggested all directors downsize their company rides,
it was the only way he could get out of the Genesis.........he now drives a Yugo..
