MY CAR HAD A RECALL THAT WAS GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR WITH MY CAR STALLING AND SMELLING OF BURNING OIL. EARLY THIS YEAR A LETTER WAS MAILED STATING RECALL IN BEING INVESTIGATED, (CAMPAIGN 181) THE END OF SEPTEMBER I GOT THE OFFICIAL LETTER ABOUT THE RECALL AND WHAT I NEEDED TO DO. IT TOOK A 1 WEEKS TO GET THE CAR IN. MY CAR STALLED TWICE DURING THAT TIME. DAYS BEFORE MY CAR GOT FIXED MY CAR STALLED TWICE, AND I START HEARING A LOUD NOISE IN WHICH I FOUND OUT AFTER THE RECALL WAS FIXED THAT MY VALVE COVERS NEEDED REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT COULD NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE ENGINE WAS BAD. I HAD A CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE WHO DID NOTHING, AND I HAD TO CALL 500 TIMES TO HAVE IT ESCALATED TO A CORPORATE MANAGER. AFTER I GOT A CORPORATE MANAGER IS WHEN GRAYSON HYNDAUI DECIDED TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE. MY CAR HAS BEEN PARKED AT HOME SINCE 9/24/2019 AND I HAVE PAID TO RENT A CAR SINCE THAT DAY AN TILL THIS DAY. I WANT THIS RESOLVED ASAP.

ENGINE HAS A VERY BAD KNOCKING SOUND AS DESCRIBED IN RECALLED CARS THAT CATCH FIRE WITH THE SAME ENGINE. I CAN'T DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION AND THE MECHANIC SAYS REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND MIGHT NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A CONCERN THAT THERE ARE NO GOOD ENGINE PARTS FROM WHICH TO EVER FIX IT. THE SOUND JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE.

MY 2011 HYUNDAI TUCSON STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY CITY ROAD . I WAS GOING STRAIGHT WITH 40 MILES/HOUR WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER FOR UNNOWN REASON, AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN, THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE ENGINE STOPPED, GAS PEDAL WAS NOT RESPONDING. THE CHECK ENGINE, OIL PRESSURE, AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME WHEN CAR STALLED. BATTERY IS A COUPLE OF MONTHS OLD, EVERYTHING SEEM TO OPERATE NORMALLY EXCEPT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT START. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO A TURNING LAIN TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENT AND CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO SAFETY. I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM HYUNDAI A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE CHECKED. THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS YET AND THEY WILL CONTACT ME AS SOON AS THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A CALL AND NOW MY VEHICLE STALLED. IT IS INOPERABLE.

I PARKED THE CAR 6/12/19 WED THAT EVENING AND EVERYTHING SEEMED OK. AT 1030AM THE NEXT DAY, 6/13/19, I TRIED TO USE ELECTRIC KEY TO UNLOCK TO GO TO WORK AND REALIZED IT WOULDN'T UNLOCK SO I NOTICED BLACK SOOT ABOVE DRIVER WINDOW AND TRIED MANUAL KEY TO UNLOCK. I COULD BARELY CRACK TO SEE THE SEAT EXPLODED ON DRIVERS SIDE. CALLED 911 AND FIREMEN AND POLITICS ARRIVED. THE FIREMAN COMPLETELY OPENED THE DOOR AND AFTER EXAMINE SAID THE HEATED SEAT DEVICE HAD EXPLODED OR MALFUNCTION AND THE BACK OF SEAT WAS BLOWN IN A RECLINED TO THE BACK SEAT POSITION AND ALL WINDOWS COMPLETELY COVERED IN SOOT, AND A VERY STRONG ELECTRICAL FIRE SMELLL WAS OBSERVED.
