SUSPENSION
MY VAN AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW WEEKS, I TOOK IT OUT ON THE ROAD AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION DROPPED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE WHOLE SUSPENSION DROPPED AND WAS SITTING ON MY TIRE...I CHECKED WITH OUR LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEIR WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2014 AND SUPPOSEDLY WAS COATED WITH WAX? WELL THE WAX DID NOT WORK. THEY SHOULD OF REPLACED THIS THEN. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A VAN I CAN'T DRIVE. I WANT TO HAVE THIS FIXED ON HYUNDAI. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING FAST WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND KILLED MY FAMILY I'D BE ASKING FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THIS VAN IS DANGEROUS. I WILL HAVE TO TALK WITH MY LAWYER REGARDING THIS.

WHEELS
I HAD FOR YOKOHAMA AVID ASCEND BLU EARTH TIRES INSTALLED AT MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP ON 5/21/2016. COST WAS NEARLY $1000 INSTALLED!! VEHICLE MILEAGE AT INSTALLATION WAS 171,500 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS BECOME A SECONDARY VEHICLE AND RARELY GETS USED. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 175,700 MILES (5/1/2018). OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS, ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE HAD INTERNAL BELT SEPARATION. ALL FOUR TIRES HAD THE SAME MANUFACTURING DATE OF 85D4015 STAMPED ON THEM. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES DUE TO THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY CONDITION. DISCOUNT TIRE CALLED YOKOHAMA TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION. YOKOHAMA DECLINED TO REPLACE TIRES FREE OF CHARGE EVEN THOUGH THESE TIRES WERE FAIRLY NEW WITH 80% TREAD REMAINING. THEY AGREED TO COVER 60% OF THE COST TO REPLACE THE FOUR TIRES. I PAID ROUGHLY $300 TO REPLACE THE FOUR TIRES. YOKOHAMA IS MANUFACTURING DEFECFTIVE TIRES AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT HAS DONE NOTHING TO ALTER THEIR DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ARE POSSIBLY KILLING PEOPLE IN THE PROCESS.

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON 4 TIMES. 1ST TIME REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. 2ND TIME PAID OVER $300 TO REPAIR. 3RD TIME WAS ABLE TO FIX ISSUE BY REMOVING ITEMS FROM UNDER SEATS. 4TH TIME LIGHT REMAINS ON CURRENTLY. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE MANY OTHER HYUNDAI OWNERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND SAFETY ISSUES SHOULD NOT HAVE AN EXTRA FEE! UNETHICAL!!!

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 30 MPH (MOVING STRAIGHT; NOT TURNING) A NOISE WAS HEARD, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO DROP, AND BOTH STEERING AND BRAKES BECAME ERRATIC. THE VAN, STILL ACTING UP, MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT, WHERE A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL WELL INDICATED WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A BROKEN CONTROL ARM (SEE PHOTO). THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND LATE IN 2013 THERE WAS A RECALL (# 13V556000). VEHICLE OWNERS WERE ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AND INSPECTION AND EITHER RUSTPROOFING OR REPLACEMENT OF THE CONTROL ARMS. ON 1/20/14, THE VEHICLE UNDERWENT THIS PROCESS AND REPORTED "INSPECTED, WAXED, AND UNDERCOATED AS PER CAMPAIGN" (SEE EXCERPT FROM INVOICE). NO DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL ARMS WAS REPORTED BY THE DEALER'S SERVICE SHOP. HAD I BEEN INFORMED OF A DAMAGED PART DURING THE "INSPECTION", I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN TO REPLACE IT, AS THIS IS APPARENTLY VITAL TO KEEPING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS, I HAVE DONE A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT 65 OR 70 MPH, RATHER THAN AT THE 30 MPH IN THE CITY, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. A POLICE OFFICER SHOWED UP TO HELP AND TOOK DOWN MY NAME - I DO NOT KNOW IF A FORMAL REPORT WILL BE FILED..

AIR BAGS, SEATS
FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR MALFUNCTION. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT/ACCIDENT. AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON, REGULAR GARAGES COULDN'T DIAGNOSE PROBLEM, ONLY A HYUNDAI DEALER CAN READ THE CODE; ONCE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT WEIGHT SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING, APPARENTLY THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT ASSEMBLY, CANNOT REPLACE JUST THE SENSOR.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TOOK IN MY VEHICLE TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR A RECALL (HOOD LATCH) AND GET INSPECTED WHILE I WAS THERE. THEY SAID I HAD A MAJOR OIL LEAK AND WOULD COST 2,000. AND IT COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD. VALVE COVER GASKET WAS LEAKING ON THE ALTERNATOR. MY HUSBAND CHANGED THE OIL AND THAT HAD A SMALL LEAK WHEN WE GOT THE VEHICLE BUT OVER TIME IT WAS COVERING THE ALTERNATOR. WE LEFT AFTER WE PAID FOR AN INSPECTION THAT DIDN'T PASS. WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT PASSING OTHER YEAR AT LOCAL PLACES. THEN WE SAW ONLINE HOW OTHER HYUNDAI'S HAD A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WE WERE HAVING. I FEEL LIKE THE DEALERSHIP KNEW THIS AND WAS LOOKING TO MAKE A PROFIT OFF OF US REGARDING THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT.
