2020 Hyundai Tucson Brakes

Our daughter was notified by another driver at a stoplight that her brake lights were not working. The car's brake sensors indicated the brake lights were not working, while driving the light went off and the lights worked again momentarily. The Hyundai dealership refused to address the problem when it was taken in for maintenance because the light did not appear for them they said it wasn't possible to a fix it. After an online search, there are instructions on what to do if you are a DIY person. They are very basic if you know your way around the electrical system in the auto. Our daughter lives and works in the Phoenix metro area putting her at risk from collision and being in violation of local ordinance regarding vehicle operation. There were no earlier indications of a problem until 5 days ago.

Electrical rear brake system. My rear driver side brake like sometimes fails to operate properly. Brake warning light on dash comes on. This happens on and off. After researching the issue I found numerous owners are having the same issue. Some replace the bulb multiple times while others have had dealerships replace the harness. Both solutions only temporarily fixed the problem for a short time

Four Weeks ago , I called Henderson Hyundai,702-565-1500, concerning a fire hazard for my car that the Hyundai Company said would start on fire because of corroded brake lines. I was told before that this would be taken care of at my next oil change, today, 2-22-2022. The service rep said this didn't apply to my 2020 Tucson. I told him that my car met their recall instructions. The dealership refused to fix the potential fire hazard. I want to go on record that I attempted to resolve the issue and the dealer said no. I put my car in the garage and don't want my house to burn down.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM HYUNDAI WITH AN OBVIOUS SENSE OF URGENCY INSTRUCTING ME TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR ASAP!!! THAT WAS NOVEMBER 2020. THIS RECALL AFFECTS THE ABS SYSTEM OF MY NEW VEHICLE. TODAY IS JANUARY 8, 2021 AND STILL NO FIX AND ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN!!! NO PARTS FROM HYUNDAI AVAILABLE. VERY CONCERNING AND FRIGHTENING TO DRIVE THIS CAR DUE TO FIRE HAZARD. IN ADDITION, THE RECALL LETTER INSTRUCTS THAT I SHOULD NOT PARK THE CAR INSIDE OR NEAR A STRUCTURE. I LIVE IN HUDSON VALLEY, NEW YORK AND WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER HERE. I NOW SIT WITH AN EMPTY TWO-CAR GARAGE AND HAVE HAD TO DIG MY CAR OUT OF SNOW, SCRAPE IT FROM ICE, AND PUT AIR IN THE TIRES BECAUSE OF COLD TEMPERATURES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE BY HYUNDAI, PUTTING DRIVERS IN THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. \MY DEALERSHIP HAS ME AT #61 ON THEIR RECALL LIST WITH NO IDEA OF WHEN THE REPAIRS WILL BE DONE. THIS COULD TAKE A FEW MONTHS, IN THEIR OPINION. I

RECALL 20-01-040H - I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS PART SINCE JULY OF 2020, THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL AND I FINALLY WENT TO STEW HANSEN HYUNDAI IN DES MOINES IOWA ON 12/29/2020 AND THEY ORDERED IT FOR THE AUTO OFFICIALLY. I HAD BEEN ON A LIST FOR WHEN IT CAME IN TO GET IT FIXED. FOR THIS BEING A SAFETY RECALL THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT I CAN'T GET THIS FIXED. THIS IS A COMPLAINT NOT A VEHICLE ISSUE. HYUNDAI'S HANDING OF THIS RECALL IS LACKLUSTER AT BEST. I DON'T FEEL ENOUGH IF BEING DONE TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF.

RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL LETTER ABOUT THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. I CALLED HYUNDAI LEFT VOICE MESSAGE. CALLED TODAY AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO GET THE CAR FIXED. TOLD ME TO CALL AGAIN IN ONE MONTH. DUE TO THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BREAK SYSTEM, I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CANNOT WAIT. IM AFRAID OF DRIVING MY CAR AND HAVE THE RISK OF THE BREAKS NOT WORKING SINCE I WONT PUT MY FAMILY'S LIFE IN RISK.

I AM UNABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE MY NEW 2020 HYUNDAI TUCSON PURCHASED JULY 12, 2020, DUE TO A DANGEROUS RECALL. THERE IS NO SOLUTION AT THIS TIME AND IF THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON, I AM ADVISED TO PULL OVER, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ALSO, DO NOT PARK THE CAR INDOORS. I WAS PLANNING ON TAKING SOME ROAD TRIPS; THAT IS WHY I PURCHASED THE CAR. HYUNDAI ADVISED ME NOT TO TAKE A ROAD TRIP DUE TO THE PROBLEM. I THOUGHT THEY MIGHT GIVE ME A LOANER TILL THE SITUATION WAS RESOLVED BUT CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID "ONLY IF THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON". I ALSO NOTE THAT THEY HAVE DISCONTINUED THEIR ADS FOR THE TUCSON AND ARE STATING THAT THE KONA AND/OR SANTA FE MODELS ARE MORE RELIABLE AND SAFE. SO, HERE I AM WITHOUT A SAFE, RELIABLE CAR AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME. WHAT CAN BE DONE?

RECEIVED RECALL LETTER FOR ABS PART PROBLEM. HAVE BEEN CALLING ROSEN HYUNDAI OF ALGONQUIN, IL EVERY WEEK STARTING NOVEMBER 9, 2020. NO PART IN YET AND THEY KEEP SAYING TWO WEEKS. I WANT TO BE ON RECORD THAT IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE DUE TO THIS RECALL HYUNDAI IS RESPONSIBLE. NO ONE SEEMS TO BE HELPING.
