My Hyundai Santa Fe was purchased on 25.11.2016. I drove away with short-circuited rear central locking from detailing then noticed that the air con was not working. I drove back, only to be told they forgot to check.

The locking was fixed and they sent air con guy to fix it. After this car stopped smoking, with no radiator fluid, I drove back to dealer the again and he fixed damaged radiator pipe. On my drive on the 24th of December, the car jumped twice in high traffic, then got stuck in third gear and it had to be towed.

Now I am carless for the 2nd time in under a month. The dealer is closed until 6.1 and they told me to use the warranty booklet (6 month silver). Why would I buy from a dealer to get a car with that many issues within a month?

At the moment, it is towed to a different mechanic as the break down occurred 1 hour from the place of purchase.

Should I wait for the original dealer to open and let them sort the problem?

I am not sure what else might go wrong. Feeling uneasy.
