A WARNING KEEPS HAPPENING WITH NO CODES IT SAYS TO CHECK BRAKES AND PULL OVER I CAN ONLY GO ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR AND THE BRAKES PEDAL HAS A WEIRD GRINDING NOISE LIKE IT'S SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS SYSTEM IT IS VERY SCARY AND IT DOES IT INTERMITTENTLY

WENT TO START CAR ON WED AN WAS MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE. SHUT IT OFF AND CHECK FLUIDS AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER AND THE INSPECTED IT. TOLD ME IT WAS METAL IN THE ENGINE AND MOTOR WAS SHOT. WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE $14000 FOR A NEW ENGINE OUT OF MY POCKET. THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE RECALL AND NOW MY CAR IS DISABLED. I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE UNTIL THIS MATTER IS RESOLVED. I HAVE VIDEO FROM THE DEALER BUT IT WONT LET ME SEND IT FOR MY REPORT.

BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH PLUNGER DOES NOT RETRACT AS IT SHOULD WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING PRESSED, CAR LOOSES ACCELERATION AND LOOSES POWER. WHEN DRIVING ON CRUISE CONTROL, BREAK WILL DEPRESS AND TURN CRUISE OFF AND ON IN DASH.

THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN ON ITS OWN AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO REV UP EVEN WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN. ALSO THE LIGHT FOR TRACTION CONTROL TURNS ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT WHETHER THE CAR IS ON OR OFF.

MY CAR ENGINE JUST STOPPED WORKING ON ME. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN MY OIL LIGHT AND THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN ON. CAR WAS STATIONARY

I HAVE DONE AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH HYUNDAI THAT PROVES MY OIL IS BURNING EXTREMELY FAST. IT ALSO STALLS AND THE ACCELERATION HAS SLOWED DOWN. WHEN COSTARRING UP THE CAR IT SOUNDS LOUD. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2020. AS OF FEB. 2021 HYUNDAI STATED THAT MY PROBLEM WITH MY ENGINE WILL NOT BE SOLVED BECAUSE OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION.

THIS CAR HAS HAD EPISODES OF THE ENGINE DYING WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST SINCE 2014. MY FATHER, THE PRIMARY DRIVER AND CARETAKER OF THE CAR HAS NEVER RECEIVED ANY MENTION OF A HYUNDAI RECALL FOR THIS. THIS SAME EVENT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN, AND EVERY MECHANIC WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO FOR REPAIR CONCLUDES THAT THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE IT. THIS IS ALSO THE CONSENSUS FROM OUR LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALSHIP MECHANICS.THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE!!! IT HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE SHOP AT THE HYUNDAI DEALSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK NOW. HYUNDA CUSTOMER CUSTOMER CARE HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING, BECAUSE THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM IS DOWN. SO, HERE WE ARE, WITHOUT THE CAR,AND NO ANSWERS. MY FATHER DIED IN 2019, BUT HE KEPT EVERY PIECE OF PAPERWORK FOR THAT CAR, INCLUDING RECALLS FOR THE AIR BAG, SEAT BELTS, ETC. HE HAD EVERYTHING FIXED THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED ON THAT CAR, AND THERE IS NO RECORD OF A RECALL SENT TO HIM REGARDING THE RECALL I MENTIONED.

WHEN I GOT MY CAR ..IT SEIZED ON ME .TOOK TO DEALERSHIP THAN IT WAS SENT TO HYDAI FOR THE 11 RECALLS ..AND NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND DOES NOT TURN OFF ..IT JUST TURNED ON ONE DAY FOR NO REASON ..NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE .I CAN PUT APPROX.SINCE DATE HAS TO BE ADDED IN ORDER TO SELECT NEXT
