This vehicle I purchased brand new from located universal hyndai orlando address: 12801 south, s orange blossom trl, orlando, FL 32837 on 1/1/2020. It has 9000 miles on it. This recall is scarey. Since receiving the notice on 4/23/21 there is no remedy on the recall?? so if something happens I will be sure to file a lawsuit to all those directly and indirectly involved. What is the remedy? you cannot issue a recall of this magnitude and do nothing for 3 months since sending out notices. I called universal hyndai and they said they cannot do anything without the remedy notification. They also told me they won't cover a loaner vehicle while in repair. I need to speak to someone that knows what is going on and who can handle the rectification of this issue properly. If not give me a replacement vehicle of the same.
My 6 month old, Hyundai 2020 Kona that I bought in July of 2020 with only 7000 miles on it had its engine fail as I was driving multiple times before I was able to get it to a mechanic. No indication lights came on telling me that there was something wrong with the car before the engine failed. The car is now at Hyundai dealership and they are telling me that my new car needs a new engine and they have no idea what started it or if replacing the engine will fix it. This incident happened while I was pulling into a parking lot, while I was on the highway, while I was at a stop light and again pulling into the Hyundai dealership. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle and the dealership is not doing anything to make this right.
