Owner report 11488388 · 2022-10-07 (October 7, 2022)

There is a recall on this vehicle, but Hyundai is prioritizing new, unsold cars over cars that are currently in use. It has been several months since the recall was announced, and I have seen many, many unsold cars repaired so that they could be sold, but haver yet to hear of any cars on the road and in use that have been repaired. Hyundai is prioritizing profits over the safety of their owners.

The latest one, I reported to the service advisor that my car stalled all of a sudden at a neighborhood. She told me they didn't find any error codes therefore there is nothing wrong with the car. I was also told to keep driving it till it breaks down and only come back to them when that happens. Lo and behold not even 3 days later on Christmas night it broke down on me and …

I had 4 warning signs appear while driving in show. Those 4 warnings were Forward Collision Warning, rear cross traffic warning, Cruise control warning, vehicle stability control warning. They were simply not working. After driving for around 5-10 minutes, my steering gradually became very heavy making it difficult to steer. I had to pull over to the side eventually. Controlling the steering wheel put my safety and others at risk. The problem was confirmed by a dealer and they have mentioned it was due to an ABS sensor. No the parts were not in…
