A warning light appeared on the instrument panel of Simrat Sooch's electric car, a 2017 Hyundai Ioniq. He was told he needed to buy a new battery — for $50,000.
In a nutshell. . .
Owner: My car doesn’t work! I take to dealer. . .
Dealer: We check car carefully. Your battery bad. That’ll be $50,000 please.
Owner: No way! I ask Hyundai Canada about this.
Hyundai Canada: Not our problem. Dealer handles this.
Owner: FML! I scrap car and blab to press.
Press: No way! I ask Hyundai Canada about this.
Hyundai Canada: Car was never checked carefully, nobody knows what was wrong with it. Too bad it was scrapped. We’ll pay to make the story go away.
