SERVICE BRAKES
A RECALL NOTICE FROM HYUNDAI WAS ISSUED LAST FALL AND WE IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER TO GET THE REPAIR DONE. WE WERE TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART AND IT WAS ON ORDER. SIX MONTHS LATER AND MULTIPLE CALLS AND MESSAGES TO TWO DIFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND OUR CAR SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY UNREPAIRED. HOW LONG IS REASONABLE TO GET A RECALL REPAIR AND AT WHAT POINT ARE WE OWED COMPENSATION FOR A VEHICLE WE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING BECAUSE IT CAN CATCH FIRE? WHO DO WE CONTACT TO GET THIS REPAIR COMPLETED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
JUST SHORT OF 63,000 MILES, MY KEY FOB QUIT UNLOCKING THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR IN IT'S NORMAL SEQUENCE. I HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING "UNLOCK" SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE LOCK OPENS. THE OTHER DOORS SEEM RESPONSIVE AT THIS TIME. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES I HAVE HAD TO USE THE KEY. THE SAFETY OF BEING ABLE TO QUICKLY UNLOCK MY DOORS WHEN APPROACHING MY CAR IN MY CARPORT OR IN A PUBLIC SPACE IS COMPROMISED. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME OR VERY SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES ON THE IDENTICAL MAKE AND MODEL HYUNDAI. IT SEEMS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTUATOR. I HAVE NOT TAKEN MY CAR TO THE SHOP YET, BUT WANTED TO ADD MY EXPERIENCE TO YOUR DATABASE. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY HYUNDAI ACCORDING TO PEOPLE WRITING ABOUT IT ON A POPULAR AUTOMOTIVE WEBSITE AND I AM HOPING THAT ATTENTION BROUGHT TO THIS FLAW WILL TRIGGER A RECALL. I AM FEARFUL THAT THE PROBLEM WILL SPREAD TO OTHER DOORS OR THAT I MAY BE PREVENTED FROM EXITING MY DRIVER DOOR WHEN I NEED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR.

ENGINE
I HAVE A 2018 HYUNDAI TUCSON WITH LESS THEN 75000 MILES THAT I HAVE JUST HAD FOR A YEAR THAT SUDDENLY STARTED KNOCKING AFTER HAVING IT CHECK AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS BEARING MATERIAL IN MY OIL AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY REFUSED TO COVER AS I WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ALL MAINTENANCE RECORDS FOR THE LAST YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO LOCATE A NEW OR REFURBISHED ENGINE AND CANNOT PROVIDE A PREDICTED DATE ONE WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I REACHED OUT TO AUTOZONE TO SEE IF I CAN PURCHASE AN ENGINE FROM THEM AND THEY STATED IT SAYS NA WHEN THEY ENTERED MY VIN SO THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE AN ENGINE AT ALL. SO I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T DRIVE BECAUSE IT NEEDS AN ENGINE BUT I ALSO CAN'T BUY AN ENGINE?!

THE DOOR ACTUATORS STOP WORKING AND YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR USING THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES. YOU CAN HEAR THEM UNLOCK, BUT THE DOOR STILL WILL NOT OPEN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF THERE WERE TO BE AN EMERGENCY WHERE THE CAR NEEDED TO BE EVACUATED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY, WHETHER IT IS OFF OR THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.

ENGINE
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT 65 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED KNOCKING LOUDLY THEN A LOUD BOOM AND ALL THIS BLACK SMOKE CAME FROM THE BACK END. THE VEHICLE ENGINE SEIZED AND I WAS ALMOST KILLED BY A SEMI TRUCK TRYING TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AS THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE ROD BLEW A HUGE HOLE IN MY ENGINE AND IT WAS NO GOOD. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 61K MILES PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW. OPENED A CASE WITH HYUNDAI AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME I HAD NO WARRANTY. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE. ALSO THERE ARE TWO OTHER SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR THAT WERE ALSO UP AT THE SERVICE STATION FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND WITH LOW MILES AND HYUNDAI REFUSED TO MAKE THE MATTER RIGHT BY REPLACING THE MOTORS. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND RIPPING OFF THE AMERICAN CONSUMER. 7300$ FOR A REPLACEMENT MOTOR AND THE VEHICLE IS PRACTICALLY NEW WITH THE LOW MILES I HAVE.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MULTIPLE SENSORS AND LIGHTS ON THE DASH ARE ILLUMINATED, INCLUDING THE AIRBAGS, BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, HILL ASSIST, TIRE PRESSURE, ETC. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS RELATED TO A VACUUM PUMP ISSUE. OTHER HYUNDAIS ARE UNDER RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP AS COVERED. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD AS THE CAR IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, AND IF THE SENSOR ARE NOT FUNCTIONING, PROPERLY, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE AIRBAGS OR OTHER SAFETY SYSTEMS WILL FUNCTION AS INTENDED WITH THIS UNDERLYING PROBLEM. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE 1.6 TUCSONS, AS IT'S OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE ACROSS THE MANUFACTURER AND MULTIPLE MODELS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND THESE SYSTEMS ENGAGE RANDOMLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FUNCTION POORLY. ADDITIONALLY THIS AFFECTS EMISSIONS.
