In September 2011, I purchased a new 2012 Hyundai Elantra from Star Hyundai in Bayside, NY.  I purchased it mainly for the gas mileage of 40 mpg highway and 29 mpg city.  I traded in a 2007 Hyundai Elantra with 110,000 miles that got 20 mpg.



  To my horror,  I am getting 20 mpg average


I have been to the Star Hyundai  service department with my problem.  Their response was to laugh at me and tell me that I do not know how to drive. I was handed a Hyundai service bulletin explaining how to drive.  Obviously I was not the first consumer  to complain. 


I have also called Hyundai corporate customer service and was also told I do not know how to drive.  I had to beg to speak to a supervisor.  She was no help.  I asked if she could arrange a test drive with the district manager.  She said she was not able to do that.  I asked her to try and she never got back to me.


NO ONE AT HYUNDAI IS WILLING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF MY PROBLEM.


I am the type of customer manufacturers live for.  I have owned 6 Hyundai's.

You would think that with this history I would be treated better.
