| Description of the problem | In late september we received a recall notification ("campaigne194") from the manufacturer stating that a break fluid leak in the anti-lock brake system could cause an electrical short with potential fire in the engine compartment. My wife immediately went to the dealer, fitzgerald hyundai rockville md, to get it fixed. They said the fix was not ready and that we would be contacted. When told them that we planned to drive to south florida (from just north of washington dc), they brushed off her concern with a careless attitude. We are nervous about driving the vehicle at all and see on your website that the manufacturer is obliged "to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner". We have received no follow-up from them and feel that given this began in august, a "timely manner" has not been met. Is our vehicle safe to drive?! We thank you in advance for your quick response. |
