Apparently customers tried contacting Hyundai corporate about this and basically got a “well that sounds like it sucks, good luck” from them. After the media started reporting on it, corporate realized it was bad PR and reacted.

This was misappropriation of Mechanic’s Lien; they basically stole customers’ property and extorted them. They’re looking at civil cases, and maybe even criminal charges. Good.
Sue someone?
Sounds like a fairly typical Hyundai dealer to me. Hyundai (and Kia) really need to get a handle on their dealer network. They’ve brought the quality of their product up to an incredible standard (and it’s only getting better!) - but it’s all let down by the shoddy dealership experience. Execs should take some trips…
Did she also take out an enormous life insurance policy on you recently?
Harbor Freight may be the butt of many jokes, but they do have their place, if you’re doing a job you are only doing once, or are only likely to do once every for years, its probably not worth buying an expensive tool for it. If the HF version of that tool lasts through that job and maybe even the next one, but only…
I feel amazingly justified right now. I buy a lot of tools at Harbor Freight, and I’ve had to defend that practice on more than one occasion. My standard line is always “If the tool failing can kill me, I won’t buy it at Harbor Freight - Jackstands for instance.”
Fair enough, but if I lived in a city I’d still have at least one car. It’s baffling how they hire some writers that prefer every damn mode of transportation over a car. It’s a car site.
Never trust your life to any jack stand or jack. If you are going under the car, you slide a wheel & tire combo under there with you and place it so the car doesn’t tilt off of it and onto you if anything fails. A vehicle will NOT crush a wheel, and the odds that the wheel will punch through the floorboard and let the…
To be fair, you should never trust your life to any hydraulic floor jack, Harbor Freight or otherwise.
Best practices guide for Harbor Freight stuff:
If it has a handle and hits things, Harbor Freight. If it stores things, Harbor Freight. If you plan on using it once a year and it is cheaper at Harbor Freight than at the rental place, Harbor Freight. If it has hydraulics, wheels, pistons, pulleys, any sort of mission critical circuitry, led readouts, any sort of…
“I welcome a new American cityscape that is absolutely full of these things and all-but devoid of cars. Ride an e-bike yourself and you’ll soon agree.” Doubtful. please take your hipster douche anti-car rhetoric to a non-car related site. UGH, I wish I had seen that you wrote this pile of drivel before wasting time…
Want to know why our educations are so expensive?
Yeah, we are. You can follow him to next job, it won’t be car related.
You’re not interacting with the at-risk populace, but what about the people you do interact with? How many of them interact with at risk groups?
If you get it, and are fine, and give it to others who are also fine, they might give it to those who won’t be fine. And that could all happen before you know you have it, if…
As a healthy 32 year old with no regular contact with at-risk populations, the virus has exactly zero risk to me and I am treating it as such.
Exactly less risk might be a better way to think about it.
