Hunter Hyundai scheduled intake of my car for recall purposes on December 23, 2021. A little over a month later, they returned the car to me saying the alternator was coming from Korea and they did not know when it would arrive. My car cannot be driven and has sat in my driveway all this time. They still don't know when the part should arrive. I feel the dealer has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time.

Recall received 9/2021;brought car in for service to Lake Norman Hyundai 9/2021; service department confirmed recall and stated parts needed to be ordered for recall:contacted dealer 12/2021 was informed parts were not due to supply chain and to call back in January 2022. Called early January 2022 part was not in; 1/19/2022 engine light came on and car tugged as I entered my neighborhood: contacted service department to inform engine light was now on; was informed parts were in and to bring car in; brought car in never received call from service; call managing partner Cam Stewart was informed parts were not in for recall and engine failed-was asked if I wanted to trade the car in; replied no I would like the car repaired. Car remained in service who informed the engine failure was not a result of recall. Filed complaint with Hyundai Motor Services, Hyundai Motor Services stood by claim. The recall letter indicates the engine could shut off as a result of recall not being repaired. The time frame of prolonging the repair, in my opinion, is a direct result of car failure. Hyundai has failed and is unwilling to remedy the defect within a reasonable time.

This recall only replaces the front cylinder bank cover gasket, but there's oil leaking on to my engine from the other valve gasket cover too. Hyundai wants to charge me $600 to replace that. The car has stopped on the road in the middle of me driving it twice (both in March 2021) - luckily no crash as it was in a residential area. I've paid over $1000 in repairs as Hyundai didn't have a recall 'solution' despite the car not working. I'm including the receipt for the alternator replacement as well as proof of the (first - there were multiple) battery replacements before there was a 'solution'. Hyundai won't reimburse me for these.
