Recently, three different lights went on in my car. When looking it up online I found recall number 251 from Hyundai and it matches the lights and issues my car is facing. However, when looking it up via my VIN there are no open recalls.
Customer complaint of erratic gauge operation and multiple warning lights. Code scan revealed multiple codes stored in abs for speed sensor input. Data list showed vehicle speed spiking on mupltiple wheels then unit stopped communicting with scan tool. Unplugged abs control unit to check for power and ground and found brake fluid and burned connector. Recall has not been expanded to this VIN yet but should be.
I was driving to pickup my dog from daycare centre and when I arrive to house, put my car in park then a huge amount of smoke came out from the front hood of car. The smoke got bigger and bigger within 30 seconds I couldn't see anything from front of car and around driver's seat. There was no hazard alerts or signs on my car that my car was overheating. There was no signal or emergency shut off on the car when the overheating began. My boyfriend was in car at time. My dog was walking outside with daycare caretaker when a flame started on driver's side engine. The flame lit and sparked into a huge flame. I ran out of car while my boyfriend yelled for everyone to back away from car before it explodes. The flame grew and engine bursted into flames, a loud explosion followed. I did not have any time to even gather what was going on before my eyes, I was trembling in shock and could not speak clearly. Immediately, I called police to come put out the fire. The fire department was transferred into my phone call. I was able to give address and they arrived on scene within 3-4 minutes. Fire department put out the flames with a water hose. The car was completely damaged, falling apart into pieces, front hood was on fire to the back seats, doors were on fire, steering wheel was gone, entire front dashboard and chairs were melted and gone in pieces. I started feeling sick and overwhelming stressed.
Took the car in for a recall and service engine soon light on February 4th. When I got almost home there were 4 more lights on. Rear wheel sensors, skid control, downhill and car approaching light. Made an appointment to get these fixed and I explained I had car shield and they said they accepted car shield. Today, may 5th when I took the car back (first appt. I could get) after I sat there for 1-1/2 hours they came back and told me more things were wrong and informed me at that time they no long use car shield. I'm done with Hyundai. They run you in circles and treat you like shit and the tech had the nerve to get mad at me.
