| Description of the problem | In 2016, i filed complaint # 1084551 regarding the engine shutting down when my car had only 23000 miles. Unfortunately neither this agency or hyundai usa gave me the an explanation as to why this happened, and happy hyundai kept my car for 43 days to replace various engine parts. Now in 2019, the connector to the coolant fan melted which is related to the ecm module. There was an ecm recall at the time in march 2016 but it appears that the specifications of the recall didnt address/fix the problem. Further, it appears that the problem i encountered in 2016, thee ecm recall and the problem i have encountered on july 25, 2019 are very related. I can only hope and implore thos agency to look further into these issues. The car was in motion when the engine light came on. Took to the dealer and the diaganostic i was given said thee thermostate needed to be replaced along with the temperature sensor and a coolant flush. Also told the a/c compressor and hose needed to be replaced. On august 14th the thermostate, sensor and coolant flush was completed by happy hyundai but the engine came back on the same day after i drove on the expressway. I took my car into another o. August 20, 2019 and was told my car wass missed diagnosed and that the coolant fan controller had shorted and the connector to that component had melted. This is all related to the ecm module. |
