House of Representatives has
summoned a Korean Company, makers
of Hyundai Motors Nigeria Ltd to
appear before the National Assembly
for investigative hearing over alleged
defective Elegance Jeep sold to Hon
Willie Ogbeide, honourable of the 4th
assembly.
The house in a letter signed by the
chairman, House Committee on Public
Petition, Hon Uzo Azubuike invited the
company and Ogbeide to appear
before the House next week Thursday
over the alleged defective jeep sold by
the company to Hon Ogbeide.
Hon Azubuike states in the letter, “The
House of Representatives at its sitting
of Wednesday, 22nd February, 2012
received a petition from you against the
managing director, Hyundai Motors Nig
Ltd on alleged sale of defective
Hyundai Jeep 1 x 35 Elegance GLS OL.
To this effect you are invited to an
investigative hearing on the matter”
Speaking to Vanguard in Abuja
Wednesday, Hon Ogbeide narrated that
he bought a Hyundai jeep 1 x 35
Elegance GLS 2.0 litre for his wife who
resides in Benin from the Korean
company’s office at Airport Road, Abuja
on October 27, 2011 at N4.1million,
recounting that the jeep had within five
weeks of purchase developed series of
problems ranging from acceleration to
air-condition.
According to him, “On October 27th
October 2011 I purchased Hyundai
jeep for my wife at a cost of
N4.1million from Hyundai Motors
Nigeria Ltd in Abuja. The car had barely
worked for three weeks when it
developed problem. It was sent back to
the company which said it had repaired
the fault and sent to us. About three
days, the jeep broke-down in Sapele as
my wife was using it to Warri.
The motor company was accordingly
informed and it sent its mechanic who
eventually took the car to their office in
Abuja since it was obvious that the car
had factory fault”. He elucidated, “The
car had no Wheel spanner when it was
delivered to me and that I first
complained ,to them.
Then when l drove the car to Benin for
my wife, I observed that it has
acceleration problem, immediately l
called Hyundai office to complain to
them, they promised to rectify it since
it was still under warranty and before
we could solve that, the air-condition
had problem for which l also called
their office through my lawyer and in
less than five weeks”.
“When l got tired of their dripping, I
requested that they refund my money
to me within seven days. They did not
and have not responded and l wrote to
House of Reps to save me and other
Nigerians from the Korean company”
Speaking to Vanguard, the
administrative Manager of Hyundai, Mr
Ichonye John and the Workshop
Manager of the company, Mr Haari
Sriohar who attended to Vanguard,
both admitted that the jeep was bought
from the company but would not
comment on the matter as they have
replied the House of Representatives
upon receiving the summon from the
House. “We don’t have anything to say
on this.
We have received a letter and we have
responded to it. We received
instruction from our Lagos office on
what to do and that has been done so
we cannot say anything further on the
issue”.
