The remedy shown for the current recall is the same as the last recall. My vehicle was inspected as per last recall recommendation and no action was performed by the dealer. Why is hyundai still using the same the same remedy as per recall 194 customers can continue driving these vehicles; however, due to the possibility of a fire originating from the abs module while parked, hyundai recommends parking these vehicles outside and away from structures until the recall remedy is completed. Hyundai plans to notify owners to bring their vehicles to the nearest hyundai dealership for inspection of the abs module and if necessary, replacement with a new one. In addition to abs module inspection, the abs multi-fuse will be replaced with a revised one to mitigate the risk of a fire caused by an internal electrical short. The remedy procedure will be performed at no charge to the customer. Hyundai will provide reimbursement to owners for repairs according to the plan submitted to nhtsa on may 16, 2018.

I was getting on the expressway and everything just seemed like it was on safety mode. My car gurgled, it wouldn't switch gears, the engine light kept flashing. I thought it was a transmission issue until i got it to a firestone. They said the cylinder is missing on 2,4,6. And that there was a timing chain issue. The dealership says it sounds more like coils.... I'm experiencing all the same issues i'm reading about here. No warning, smelling something burning although no fire. The rpm kept going up at i'm giving gas but not the speed. It has 80,000. Why are only the sports models covered when there are so many cases of other models?

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 hyundai santa fe sport. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 21v303000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that ciocca hyundai of williamsport located at 202 lycoming mall dr, muncy, pa 17756, (570) 567-2000, had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Leak which may cause a fire. This is second recall for same problem. I feel unsafe while driving. They say if abs light comes on to stop immediately. Unable to park in my garage or close to the house. No incidents as of now. I do not understand why this is taking so long and we are expected to drive an unsafe vehicle. Value of car has also dropped.

Engine light came on, engine started to make a rattling sound. The sound got worse when accelerating especially if i was attempting to go up a hill.I tried to make it to a mechanic, but the engine died on the way while attempting to make it up a big hill and would not restart. I had it towed to a shop, they said there was no oil in the car despite the fact that we always had our oil changed regularly. There was no sign of a leak. They had to put three quarts in it just for anything to show on the dipstick. The shop that i took it to did not do engine repair and recommended that i had it taken some place to have the engine rebuilt. Their theory was is that something blew and that the oil was being burned up. It happened so fast. One day i had a dependable care that i loved. The next it needed it's engine replaced. However, i knew i could not afford to pay for an engine to be rebuilt or replaced. So, i had to just have my car towed home.

Mechanic shop customer presents with complaint of oil leak and no serpentine belt. Iinitial diagnosis. Camshaft seal and serpentine belt upon opening up found extensive damage to timing and heads. Damage to camshaft, rocker arms appear to be burnt from no lubricant. Appears to be blunt force trauma that caused broken parts. Unless we open up the engine there is no way to determine the extent of damage to the internal engine parts. The recalls demonstrate over 129,000 engines recalled for hyundai and this appears to be caused by engine defects.

Car was stationary and would not start, towed to dealer and dealer explained engine was blown. I searched google for recalls and many hyundai santa fe's between 2013-2019 had recalls, although they were sports model and ours is not a sports model, we believe that there would be other santa fe non-sports model with same issue. Hyundai informed us that it would cost $18000 for a new engine, they would cover half the cost, we purchased the car for around $21000 - this is ridiculous and taking advantage of consumers. I am waiting for paper work from hyundai with report but there is no way i can pay $9000 to get a new engine. Any assistance on this gauging and possible issue that others have encountered would be appreciated. I do not think they are being honest. We also brought the car in prior to 100000 mile warranty expired with 'check engine' light on, they diagnose some small maintenance has to be performed and we payed for that, we drove it home and a few days later 'check engine' light re-appeared, brought it back and they said nothing was wrong. Attached are invoices for above repairs

My car engine caught fire on 04/18/2021 and totaled my car. I just received a recall notice from hyundai for this issue via the usps yesterday 06/29/2021. I had only 60,000 miles and expected to own this car another 3-5 years. I am out a new car payment and this could have burned my condo down as i was 2 blocks away from it driving home and routinely park in my garage.
