No AM radio reception in i40

The radio antenna on my 2012 Hyundai i40 doesn't work on AM stations. I am in my car a lot of the time, so it's unbelievably frustrating. I have taken it back to the dealer four times, but they can't or won't repair it, because it requires is a new antenna, which is located in the windscreen and Hyundai Australia won't compensate them for the cost. They have replaced the amplifier, but that doesn't fix the problem. The car is still under warranty, but I'm stuck with a problem not of my making but one that Hyundai Australia has washed its hands of. What can I do to have the problem fixed?

You need to take the problem directly to Hyundai and make them aware of your frustration. Approach it calmly and armed with all of the information you have from past attempts to fix the issue, and ask for the company's help in not only fixing the reception problem, but also to restore your faith in the Hyundai product. If you don't want to pursue that course take the car to an independent radio specialist who should be able to sort it out for you.
