| Description of the problem | To my knowledge the recalls listed are for my car. Some i was informed of and some i was not. Reference #'s: 16v190000, 15v759000, 15v62000,15v568000, 14v33000, 13v113000, 13v113000, 10v457000, 10v070000. Once i was fully aware i brought my car to the dealership near me. They said they fixed everything but i am still having the same issues. To date: i have had times when i do not have full control( or it just will not do what i want) of the steering wheel causing me to crash into things which has damaged the passenger side window and the rims ( thankfully so far nothing more serious)/my seatbelt broke while i was driving, just came off. My brake lights are a disaster they either stay on (which has drained my battery to the point i have had to replace it ) or they do not come on at all which has given me a few scary moments because i brake and the person behind me does not realize i am stopping. If i do not put the parking break on every time i park the car will roll even on a flat surface. I sometimes have issues with getting the car to stay locked as it will sometimes unlock itself multiple times in a row. The dealership charged me for some repairs related to these recalls though as i understand it they are to fix them at no charge. I have called the dealership multiple times and i am always told that the person i need to speak with is not there. They then take a message but to date no one has returned a single call. I have had other mechanics ( not working for hyundai) look at the car as well as have other people drive my car ( they all confirm that they have issues such as above when driving as well) i would really appreciate any help you can give me with these issues. In regards to date below: multiple issues with multiple dates i listed around when i brought the car to the dealer. If you need to contact me : [xxx]. Sincerely, [xxx] |
