The Hyundai Motor Company is a South Korean multinational conglomerate of vehicles founded in 1967. They are a subsidiary of both Kia Motors as well as Genesis Motor. A maker of both premium and luxury vehicles, Honda operates the world’s largest manufacturing facility. In Korean, the word “hyundai” means modernity and the company has long prided itself on its forward thinking technology, leading to their current slogan, “New Thinking. New Possibilities.”
Despite the company’s progressive work, Hyundai vehicles are not without issue. If your Hyundai experiences ongoing problems, even after repair attempts, you may have purchased a lemon vehicle.
