The March 1, 2021 recall has not been resolved. The vehicle was purchased for its mile capacity however, due to this recall, I'm unable to use the vehicle for my travel/work as intended when I purchased the vehicle. As a result of the reduced miles, I must charge my vehicle between trips to ensure I have sufficient miles to make it home. This takes time out of my schedule and I must pay for the charging (I charge my car at my residence and have solar panels - thus no charging expense). This does Not take into consideration that at times, I cannot use my air conditioning or heating in my car to ensure I have sufficient miles to make it home or to the next charging station. I paid a lot of money for a fully functional car, for which I am NOT receiving. If I have reached the incorrect department, please forward this complaint to the appropriate department.

Hyundai has a recall on my vehicle due to battery safety issues. They have reduced my battery storage to 80% capacity and this limits my ability to travel unless I stop for extended periods to recharge my battery. The only compensation they have provided was a $200 visa card, which is incredibly inadequate, for the time and money this is costing me. I've been without full battery capacity for over a month now.

There is a recall on the ev battery system both on the Hyundai site and the ntsb site for this. Hyundai claims there is no such recall. My battery system does not function according to specifications. Hyundai says not to park the vehicle inside due to the possibility of catastrophic fire. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer will remedy the situation. They both deny there is any problem. I purchased the vehicle used from a dealer December 2020.
