There is a recall out on my vehicle. Manufacturer recall number 181/NHTSA recall number 19v063. The problem is that there is no remedy yet available for this and they issued the recall in February. I took my vehicle in for p. M. Service at the Hyundai dealership, and they told me my vehicle was indeed symptomatic of the nature of the recall (leaking fluid between engine block and oil pan), but that Hyundai did not yet have a remedy. When I look up the recall on the NHTSA website, it says,"if the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the NHTSA. . . " I feel as though, given the potential risk (failure at high speed/possible engine fire) and timeline (recall issued in February - no remedy yet available in mid April), Hyundai has indeed failed to remedy this safety recall in a timely manner. Furthermore - I have received no official communications from Hyundai regarding this matter which I find unprofessional as well.

Highway, bridge, following significantly far back. Car stops ahead and I brake in plenty of time (my son was in the front seat and can attest to that). Car brakes but very slowly, not in time so we hit the stationary car and then we were hit much harder from behind. Airbags deployed. The car immediately filled with smoke which I attributed to the air bags because I did not know any better. Very scared, I screamed for the kids to get out of the car. Smoke was gone by the time police arrived. We were ok, my son and I had sore ribs and while talking with police my left hand was burning from something. Nothing was visible so I saw know point in telling anyone. It left a rash and within time it peeled and now is back to normal. A few days later, had some headaches. Went to the athletic trainer at our school (I am a teacher) and was put on concussion protocol. Car was totaled. The front looked like an accordion as we were pushed significantly into the vehicle in front by the car who hit us from behind. I was so relieved that everyone was ok that I really did not think about it until recall notice came for the car which of course was already gone. Engine problems with "oil leaks and possible spontaneous fires, increasing risk for accident" is the wording on the recall.
