Finally, some good news. A sensor in the back wheel was found to be faulty, so they've fixed it (not replaced it). I'm just very relieved it wasn't the DCT! I was not charged for the diagnostic. Phew!
oh man... that's pretty rough. It sounds like the DCT was not the issue to start with.
Why did they charge you $800 labour? It's not as though you could have walked up to the parts counter and buy a DCT to fit it yourself as an option.
Ignore the warranty period. You as the consumer have a right to expect certain things when they buy a product or service. In consumer law, these basic rights are called consumer guarantees. Your rights are protected under consumer law and Hyundai can't walk away from it.
There is NO warranty period under Aust consumer law. Consumer guarantees are automatic and can’t be taken away. Warranties are extra promises that a business can choose to make on top of the consumer guarantees.
Hyundai has to remedy this either, replace, repair or refund.
