Your car is on life support and your job future unclear. Sound familiar? Does this make you a [new car buyer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-autos)? Not likely - unless you could return the car if you lose your job.

[Hyundai](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/he-got-money) is telling Americans just that. The “[Hyundai Assurance Program](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-mobility-financing)” 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.
