While driving my speedometer became erratic, just one time. My cruise control is no longer working, my trip odometer is not working and possibly the odometer is not working properly. I googled for speedometer problems with 2011 Hyundai speedometers and found an article that may be false on Reuters "Hyundai Motor to recall nearly 84,000 US vehicles over instrument panel display failure, NHTSA says" I called Hyundai last week and the lady I spoke with said there was a service bulletin and said it would be repaired at no cost! She even set me up with an appointment at the local dealer. About 2 days later I received an email that said there was no tsb and that it was not covered under warranty. I cancelled the appointment and stopped at the Hyundai dealership. The man I spoke with seemed to know exactly what I was talking about and said it would be almost $200 to diagnose and that would be applied to the repair which would be $7-800. He also said there are 2 different switches and it coud be either switch. I know there's a lot of garbage on the internet but when I saw the article that said that "NHTSA says" and then was told by someone at Hyundai that there is a service bulletin, I believed it. I'm [XXX] old and my wife and I have had this vehicle since new. It's a good vehicle and most likely our last. However I am totally bewildered by this situation. Is there a recall/service bulletin that you are aware of or not? Thank you! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
This is a complaint related to the status of Hyundai's recall 251. The recall has gone on for months without a resolution, and puts me and my passengers at risk should there be a fire. On April 4, 2024, I received an email notice from Stafford Brown Hyundai that indicated a fix was ready for my car. I made an appointment to complete the fix, scheduled for Tuesday April 9. Two hours after dropping off my car, I received a phone call from Stafford Brown Hyundai indicating the fix was still not available for my car. They did not know when it would be available. This recall has gone on for an unacceptable length with no fix available. The risk to myself, my passengers, and my property is high. A resolution needs to be implemented now. Furthermore, Hyundai needs better management of how they communicate information to their dealers and car owners in regards to this recall, so as not to send inaccurate updates and create confusion.
This is a complaint about the ridiculous amount of time this has gone on!
My wife was driving this vehicle 2 weeks ago and smoke came out of the driverside hood. She pulled into a parking space then the smoke came out the other side. Vehicle was towed as it would restart to the dealership. They have not done anything to look at the problem today. I reported this to their corporate for their records again little help. Based on the actual happening my research tells me it is a ABS issue, which is recalled but they have not done thar either. I ask that you get involved for your records. The vehicle is at Priorty Hyundai in Chesapeake, VA. S Military Highway. I hope you can get involve as I am concerned they maybe trying to mask this incident.
On April 18th at 1:58pm I had just dropped off a passenger then proceeded to stop sign at a complete stop I heard a loud boom like a gunshot I was in the state of shock then I started hearing glass fall all over my car so I got out of my car to see what was the loud boom I noticed that my entire sunroof was shattered it was so scary because I normally would have the shade open but something about that day told me not to open the shade because of I would have it would have been an ugly sight for me and other vehicles as I was about to merge into traffic it could have been tragic Iām devastated
I have noticed that on various occasions I pressed on the the brake and the car seemed to accelerate until I slammed hard on the brake. Today 12/4/2021 I almost got into an accident as a result.
RECALL ORDER 181 RECEIVED LAST YEAR.BEEN CHECKING BUT ALL I GET IS " REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE ' YOU CLAIMED THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFEAT. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN, "REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE ''. A YEAR AND KEEP THINKING, IS THIS DEFEAT GOING TO HAPPEN WHILE I,M DRING ON THE I-4 HIGHWAY.?
TUCSON RECALL: THE CAR SEIZES WHILE IN MOTION, AND REVS IN MOTION WITHOUT THE DRIVER PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR/GAS PEDAL - MEANING THE DRIVER EITHER IS COASTING OR HAS A STEADY PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE SEIZING AND REVING OF THE CAR IS MORE THAN AND NOT EQUAL TO THE PRESSURE BEING APPLIED TO THE PEDAL - SO THE CAR IS "RACING" EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER IS NOT INCREASING PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR ALSO STALLS WHEN FIRST STARTED, UNLESS THE DRIVER REVS THE ENGINE USING THE GAS PEDAL IN PARK. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING OVER THE LAST YEAR - DESPITE THE CAR BEING SERVICED EVERY 3,000 MILES - SERVICE PROVIDER CANNOT PROVIDE DIAGNOSIS OR SOLUTION.
