Nhtsa recall number20v061000 recall has not been fixed by the local dealer in ocala florida. I scheduled to come in and have this addressed and sat in the lobby for hours before being told I would receive a call to come back when the parts were in stock. It has been since September 9, 2021 that I made my appointment to address open recalls.

I received a safety recall notice that my abs module could develop a short circuit resulting in an engine compartment fire. This fire could occur even when the car is turned off, which increases the risk of injury. I received this notice today, April 7, 2020. I have called the Hyundai dealerships in my pittsburgh area. The wexford site cannot serve me until may 18 because they have only received 5 recall parts from Hyundai. The south hills site does not have any parts at all. Hyundai is failing to equip locations with necessary parts to address this recall. Therefore I and hundreds of other Hyundai car owners are at risk of a fire that could develop and no way to prevent, as the fire could occur even when the car is off.

The ignition is no good and, the car would not turn off. I had to take it to a dealer and, he took fuses out before they could get the car to shut off. They replaced the ignition but the flasher light keep coming on and the the spotter and the dealer did not give me the automatic part of the key. Unable to start car.

My car spontaneously catch fire on its own. The car parked on my front yard for at least 3 hours. It went aflame, the whole engine was destroyed. Every thing caught on home security camera.

For a few months I had a rattling noise coming from the rear of the car when my car was idling on a city street facing downhill (at a stop sign). Then it got suddenly worse for 2 days, so that it rattled all the time when idling in drive or park (stopped at lights or signs or in a parking space). Then it completely stopped rattling - and the next day another driver on the highway, on the 4th of July, notified me that my brake lights were not working. I don't know if it is a coincidence or not.

While I drive down the road, weather it be at 10mph or 55mph, my eps light and emergency brake light will turn on and my car will stop. It will not turn off until my car is stopped, turned off. And turned back on again. Since the power steering is lost I can not just turn to the side of the road. I have to pray that no one will be coming up behind me and hit me causing an accident. Before that will happen for two weeks my alarm will go off at all hours of the day and night. Over and over and over again until my cars eps and e brake lights turn on while I am driving, but then the cycle will start all over again. The most frequent tiem this happened was while I was driving down highway 99w in dundee oregon, I was going about 45mph and my cars eps and e break . Light turned on and I had to turn it off and then restart it. I have taken it many times to a dealership to fix but they just charge me money and say its fixed, but then it happens again. I will sue, I am so over my car threatening my life and the lives of my loved ones.

Passenger side sun visor became disconnected and its weight pulled its wire out 2 inches so that it would not go back in and would not stay up anymore. Now it is completely off and too expensive to fix. Many people have reported this problem and it should be a recall. We may have to have it fixed without having the electrical hooked up to run the mirror light, which is really annoying.

The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Elantra. While driving 60 mph after receiving a recall repair, the driver side air bag light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 178,000.

The air bag light came on in my 2007 Hyundai Elantra. When I took it to the dealership, they said that there was some kind of electrical failure in the driver's side buckle assembly. I have heard of similar issues in 2006-2008 sonatas. I am concerned that this may be a factory defect.

My airbag lights came on and I took it to the dealer. It took them over two hours to find the problem: the entire floor harness is corroded from some sort of "meltdown" and needs to be replaced. Cost = $4800. I feel this is a major design flaw in the vehicle and Hyundai should replace the floor harness as a goodwill warranty issue. There is no way a 6 year old car with only 35,000 miles on it should be experiencing this kind of problem! this is a major safety issue as right now I am forced to drive the vehicle with air bags non-functional.

Brake lights are not functioning. This model was subject to a recall for a faulty brake light switch but the Hyundai informs me mine is not included. I suspect it may be the same issue.

No brake lights, stop lamp switch was fauliy.

Vent fan (which is required for proper functioning of the defroster during winter) stopped working. Consumers will be out of pocket to fix this or will be left forcing to drive in unsafe conditions with foggy windows. If there is a pattern here, please have Hyundai issue a recall. Thanks.

The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the steering wheel seized and caused the vehicle to independently veer into the right lane. In addition, the eps warning indicator was illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the roadway and towed for diagnosis.

When driving my 2007 Hyundai Elantra se in 3rd gear (auto transmission), the 3rd gear indicator light intermittently flickers, causing the transmission to momentarily shift into 4th gear. Took car to dealer 3 times and hma had an engineer look at the car; replaced a gearshift pin switch and instrument cluster and vehicle still has the same problem. Hma claims that there is no problem with the car. Car can abruptly shift between 3rd to 4th and back to 3rd gear as light flickers due to the electrical problem.

Alarm system goes off under all weather conditions, times of day or night, under any circumstances.
