Hi I recently brought my car in for recall repairs involving the abs fuse and brake pedal stopper. Right after the service, my traction control light came on, and the car struggled to move forward. I took it to a mechanic who said the front brakes were locked. When I brought it back to your service center, I was told the hydraulic calipers were bad and that the brake pads and rotors were rubbing against each other. I was also told it’s just an "unfortunate coincidence. " however, since I had no brake issues before the recall work, I’m very concerned that something may have gone wrong during the service.

My car was recalled by Hyundai for a critical safety issue and has been at the dealership since July of 2024 awaiting repairs due to missing parts. Despite repeated follow-ups, Hyundai has been unable to provide a timeline for the repair. Recently, they offered to buy back the car, but the offer was far below its fair market value. When I declined, they stated they would return the car to me unfixed and unsafe. This situation has caused significant inconvenience and feels coercive, as I am forced to choose between accepting an unfair buyback or taking back an unsafe vehicle. I am seeking NHTSA's assistance to ensure Hyundai repairs the vehicle promptly, investigates their handling of recalls, and protects consumers from being placed in such unfair situations.

I took my car into burns Hyundai (marlton, NJ) for the abs recall on [xxx], and while leaving the lot, my car doors began locking/unlocking when I braked or accelerated. . . I called them and took it back on the 10/09 and I was told they did everything correctly and I would have to pay to have my vehicle diagnosed for their error. I then took my car to meineke (right next door to Hyundai) for other services recommended by Hyundai on 10/7 (which meineke later told me that I don't need to have done at all) and meineke told me that Hyundai did cause the software issue when doing the abs recall. I filed a complaint with Hyundai (Hyundai consumer affairs case#: [xxx]) and the solution was again for me to take my vehicle back (burns Hyundai in marlton or Hyundai in burlington) for a diagnosis, and if they determine the software issue is not related to whatever they did for the abs recall, I would have to foot the diagnosis bill. Because burns Hyundai refused to take accountability from from the onset for their error(s) with my vehicle, my car doors now unlock/lock while I'm driving my vehicle which is dangerous especially if I have children in the back seat.

However, their website shows no available appointment dates in 2024, 2025, or 2026.

We recommend you contact the manager of the service department or the general manager of the dealership at (408) 445-1500 to discuss your concerns with there not being any availability at their location.

When my car was stolen and crashed the whole front end was smashed in but the air bags did deploy. I saw there's several recalls on these cars, one was the airbags. I never got any recall for it and it shows there are no recalls. The brakes have problems, being that it takes forever to slow down. I have to leave about 3 car lengths ahead of me because I can't stop, it takes a while to slow it down. And the steering wheel feels stuck. I had a friend drive it and he said the same thing. It's difficult to handle and not lose control. I'm to the place I'm scared to get on the highway anymore because not being able to stop quickly and swerving all over cause it's hard to control the vehicle. I have had zero recalls tho even with me experiencing this. And the paint is coming off, but at least that won't kill me.
