NHTSA Recall Number 23V651000. The manufacturer has been working on this recall for several months. We have two young children and are extremeley uncomfortable driving a vehicle that could catch fire at any moment. Four months without our second vehicle is not ok. We want to have our hyundai purchased from us at KBB value so that we can pay off the reamining loan and acquire a new safe card for our family.

September 22, 2023 recall notice. Told to park outside. Four months later, there has been no remedy. This is too long to require owners to park cars outside due to fire hazard. How is replacing a fuse going to help with the brake fluid leak" And if it just a fuse replacement, then why has not that not happened" I seek an immediate resolution to this recall notice.

ABS system malfunctioned in the following manner. ABS sensor displayed. Brakes pedal must be depressed to the floorboard in order to "try" to stop. The emergency "e brake" will not engage & is non-functioning. Contacted Hyundai Headquarters for recall resolution as this issue could harm/kill my child &/or others. The car is unsafe to be driven. Hyundai resolution rep made an appt for at a local dealership. The dealership stated they would repair the car regardless of the recall, but I would have to pay & have Hyundai "try" to reimburse me as they do not have a "fix" for the recall as it could supposedly start a fire &/or lose braking system. Question" How can you repair a vehicle due to recall failure, yet NOT have a "fix" for the recall" Something not adding up. Start of incident with car July 2023. I continue to have to pay for insurance and tag registrations for a car that cannot be driven safely as Hyundai states there is no "fix" as of yet. Due to fire risk the car must be parked outside to endure weather elements which deteriorates the vehicle.

I received a message from my Uber Eats portal about a recall on my vehicle that happened in September 2023, just today about this while the Hyundai company has not yet notified me, the owner of the 2015 Hyundai accent about this rather dangerous recall.

The contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated while driving at 7 MPH, the brake pedal needed to be depressed all the way to the floorboard for the vehicle to come to a stop. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the failure was due to faulty rear brake pads and rotor. The vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Las luz de ABS comenzó a verse encendida en el Dashboard en ocasiones la de ABS junto a la de Emergencia. Lleve el auto a inspeccionar en el diagnostico resultó que el problema posiblemente podría estar en el HECU. Me indican que lo llevara en esos días porque al ser algo complejo tomaria tiempo asi verificar con exactitud que era lo que estaba haciendo que me encendieran las luces para entonces ser remplazado. Antes de poder llegar el dia para poder verificarlo salgo a hacer una diligencia y al regresar a mi casa se encienden las luces nuevamente seguido por un ruido al presionar el pedal de frenos. Me estaciono frente a mi casa al rato salgo a buscar el papel del diagnostico que me habían dado que lo había dejado guardado en la víscera del carro y me percato que se escuchaba algo encendido aún ya con el carro apagado. Procedo a abrir la cajuela y me percato que esa pieza de HECU seguía encendida y sonando. Se procede a quitarle los poros de la batería para que apagara, cuando hace una chispa eléctrica seguido por fuego. Poniendo la vida de mi hija, de mi mamá y mía en peligro. Actúe rápidamente ya que vivo en un apartamento busqué el extintor de fuegos que me proveen y procedo a apagarlo. Luego de apagado el fuego encontramos una tapa que entiendo que es de el modulo de ABS (envie foto de la misma). La experiencia fue horrible pues esto me pudo haber pasado en la calle y pudo ser un incidente desgraciado ocacionando perdida de vidas y perdida total de mi auto. El percance ocurrió bien tarde en la noche que pude haberme acostado a dormir y levantarme cuando escuchara el carro explotar, gracias a Dios regresé al auto a buscar el papel y no paso a mayores.
