Your car is on life support and your job future unclear. Sound familiar? Does this make you a new car buyer? Not likely - unless you could return the car if you lose your job.
Hyundai is telling Americans just that. The “Hyundai Assurance Program” says if you lose your job or get disabled or experience any other misfortune that leads to a loss of income, you can take the car back to the dealer. No questions asked.
