Bought the vehicle as is with "1 owner, who was older" drove it off the lot and rest drove it, at 57,000 miles. Perfect...that was november 2023.. 3 days later my car was a little low on gas due to they didn't fill it and I left it be, started it drove about 15 miles and it starts sputtering and almost stalls out. Now here I am in June and beginning of June I hear ticking under hood, thinking it's my oil, I changed it (myself) and here it is 3 weeks later oil keeps burning hot, the oil.pressue light comes on when I brake and off when I give it gas, and I don't have any power what so ever when trying to accelerate and doesn't pick up speed unless I'm going downhill. I have 2 small children and a single mom working 5 days a week, I need this car to work. Please hellllpp me. We were going up a hill and I almost got rear ended because my car didn't have power. Not to mention the driver seat fuse keeps blowing out and the bolt keeps breaking so now I can't fit comfortably while.driving and my seat bounces constantly up and down when going over bumps. This was supposed to be my new beginning family car as this is the newest car I've ever owned and it's become an absolute nightmare and I'm scared for me and my children that the engine is going to blow up because that's what it sounds like or I'm going to get smashed by another vehicle due to the fact I have no power

I called Wayne Mazda on 9/7/22 to make an appointment to fix this brake recall and to have my car serviced. I was given an appointment for January 17, 2023, which is 4 months later. I called several times to try and get a current appointment and was denied each time, so I contacted Hyundai and filed a complaint. My case number is 20485596. Also my dashboard light showing low tire pressure stays on, even though AAA came and filled the tires. We are seniors and my husband is in a wheelchair, and I feel 4 months is an unreasonable length of time to wait for a brake (potential fire) recall and service. Any help you can provide with this complaint would be appreciated.

The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving in stop and go traffic, the braking system malfunctioned. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, the pedal extended to the floor causing the vehicle to crash into the rear of a second vehicle. During the failure, the contact sustained an injured left forearm from the air bag deployment. No medical attention was required. A police report was filed at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The contact stated that the driver in the other vehicle left the scene after the emergency services arrived. The contact was unaware of any injuries to the other driver. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet contacted. The contact later received notification of the NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V056000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

It has been OVER 6 MONTHS since there has been a recall on my vehicle (Hyundai Recall 218 / NHTSA Recall 22V-056). It is a MAJOR safety hazard which could cause an engine fire while parked or driving and there is no remedy as of today, Aug. 7th. This needs to be addressed asap. NHTSA might also want to check their numbers/email. The number provided on the safety recall docs automatically hangs up on me when I try to call NHTSA @ 888-327-4236, and the email address provided (https://www.safecar.gov) says site can not be reached.

They have been sending me notices for months now saying that my car could catch fire...even when parked but cannot come up with a resolution. I have to keep my car outside and take a risk every time I have to drive it. They should be pulling us in and changing the ABS. Do we have to wait until we and/or our property is damaged? This is ridiculous and needs to be remedied now. They could at least give us loaners that while we wait.

Dear DOT Complaints, My Hyundai Tucson has a recall and it has been months for Hyundai to find a solution to the problem. Vin no.KM8JTCAF1FU050273. I am worried my car may catch fire and would like you to expedite the recall and have this issue resolved. It is very worrisome that the manufacturer is being negligent with a defective automobile on the road and should replace it with a safe vehicle at no extra charge or quickly remedy this situation. I await your answer. How can you allow such a dangerous repair recall exist with no remedy in sight?

Our hyundai tuscon has been in a recall since Februrary 2022. The NHTSA recall number is 22V056000. We have contacted hyundai and our local dealership a few times about getting this fixed and frankly getting the run around. I don't know how why it's taking so long to get this fixed.

There is an open safety recall on my vehicle, which has been in place since February 2, 2022. At this time, Hyundai has advised that they have no remedy and don't know when they WILL have one. Since this defect poses a potential fire threat, they advise to "park outside away from structures". I feel that 4 months is more than long enough for them to have a remedy in place. Parking my vehicle outdoors, far from structures, indefinitely is unreasonable. What recourse do we as consumers have against this" Is there anything I that can be done to fix this from your side" I was previously a very satisfied Hyundai owner, but after this I no longer have confidence in them and will no longer do business with them.

I currently represent Mr. Jeffrey Harvey as his attorney. Hyundai has failed to provide a remedy for more than four months for Mr. Harvey's vehicle. The recall campaign has not sent further instructions or details about the proposed remedy for the problem with the vehicle. Please advise as to exactly how long Hyundai has to come up with a remedy for the vehicle, and what exactly the options are for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.

My car has been subject to safety recall for its anit-lock break system module system since February 2022. It is now the middle of May, 2022. Hyundai, in the Sacramento area of California, says they do not have parts in stock for performing the mandated recall and will not call me back or give me any estimate for when I can have the part. The Hyundai of America representitive just told me I could keep calling, putting the burden on me, and not assisting me further in terms of becoming part of a list of people that still need the recall done, etc.. The notice says my car's engine compartment might catch on fire while parked or driving without this recall. That's pretty ridiculous and unsafe. They need to provide a remedy.
