I have a pending case no. [xxx] with Hyundai. My sons vehicle has been at advantage Hyundai in hicksville, NY (the "dealer") since April 5 pending a recall repair (NHTSA campaign id no. 09v125000). I contacted the dealer again today and spoke to michael keily (516-465-7700) who informed that he had no idea when the needed part will be available and therefore he was unable to give me a date by which I can expect the vehicle to be repaired. Mr. Keily also informed me today that Hyundai corporate will only pay $35 per day for a rental replacement vehicle. I contacted enterprise car rental and they informed me that a compact vehicle will cost $58. 50 per day given that my son is 21 years old. My son has been without a vehicle for a month, has no means of transportation to get to his summer job and cannot afford the economic hardship of paying an additional $23. 50 per day. I contacted Hyundai corporate (1-800-633-5151) and after being on music hold for over 2 â½ hours, two different customer service representatives informed me that they would need an additional 2 to 3 business days before they could provide me with an answer as to whether Hyundai would absorb the full cost of a rental vehicle. Hyundai has failed to repair my son's vehicle within a reasonable time" (page 14 NHTSA "motor vehicles safety defects and recalls- what every vehicle owner should know") and therefore they should be compelled to pay for the full cost of a rental vehicle without further delay. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Hyundai recall campaign 091 - late recall notices, inability to fix the problem due to lack of parts, putting the drivers at risk.
I have waited nearly 3 months due to backordered parts to remedy Elantra suspension recall. (NHTSA recall 09v125000).
We purchased a used 2001 Hyundai Elantra for our son to take to college. On Monday evening (9/21/09), he was stopped at a stop sign when the wheel fell off of the vehicle and the front axle fell to the ground. The policeman at the scene informed my son that he avoided a serious accident because he was stopped when the incident occurred. Upon researching a "carfax" site, I found that the vehicle was subject to recall for corrosion and fracture of the suspension system. We were never notified of the recall, neither by the manufacturer nor by the dealer from whom we purchased the vehicle. \ my concern is that this was a potentially deadly condition and we had no idea that it existed.
My wife was driving to work and had just come to a stop when the front suspension collapsed. She had the car towed to our preferred repair shop. They told use that the suspension had rusted out and that they had never seen that before.
Right front end vibration. Dealer contacted.
