My 2007 Hyundia Sonata has only 22,000 miles. I brought the car into the dealer for a "engine light" problem with a PO449 code. I was charged a $100 to clean out a spider web that caused a "vent control solenoid" to malfunction. Even though I have 36K bumper to bumper coverage the repair was not covered due to the "act of God" claim.
Has anyone else had the same problem?
The mechanics I work with believe this is a common practice by dealerships to double bill by submitting a claim for the defective solenoid to the car company and billing the customer for "act of God" claim. Many of these I spoke to mechanics had previous worked for dealerships.
What should I do? Contact the zone rep? Or the Gov't?
