Dear Hyundai car owner,

You may not know this,but Hyundai has cheated you into buying a
defective and unsafe car whose engine hp figure is falesly
inflated.You are entitled to a full refund in addition to
compensation.To get back at Hyundai and secure your rights,do join
the big class suits being filed against it.

There are two big class suits against Hyundai. The first
is the engine hp inflation suit. The second is the recall and
defects suit. More campaigns are being waged against Hyundai to get
it to refund and compensate Hyundai owners everywhere who have been
cheated into buying Hyundai cars whose engine hp, torque and
compression ratio figures are falsified and to recall over 4,000,000
defective cars it has knowingly sold in most countries and
compensate owners thereof.

According to Korean Ministry of Constuction&Transport(MOCT), over
500,000 Korean-made cars[over 300,000 Hyundai cars] are recalled in
Korea every year for defects and safety reasons.Each and every model
is recalled at least once and some models are recalled 5 times.
View MOCT statement in Korean at
www.moct.go.kr
or in English as published in English in the leading Korean
daily Chosun Ilbo:
www.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200202/200202130154.html
(Hyundai has never refuted,rebutted or denied such reports in
anyway)

-NHTSA has just ordered Hyundai to recall over 160,000 cars in the
U.S.for defects and safety reasons.
View NHTSA announcement of Jan.30:

year=2002&filename=pr05-02.html
and the story published in English by Korea Times:
www.hankooki.com/kt_biz/200202/t2002020318282743110.htm

-Yet, Hyundai realizes record profits in 2001
View Chosun Ilbo:
www.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200202/200202060323.html

-And is aiming to increase sales and exports for 2002
View Chosun Ilbo
www.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200201/200201040176.html

Hyundai recalls over 300,000 cars in Korea and 200,000 in the west
every year for safety and quality reasons. It has never done so in
the rest of the world. It follows that Hyundai must recall over
4,000,000 defective cars it has knowingly sold in most countries
countries.

Despite its defects and recall problems, Hyundai is still able to
maximize its profits which it can attain through quality dumping,
false labeling,misleading advertising and hoax warranties.

There was just a big long discussion about this last week and it is probably still going on.

Basically it is total BS.
