| Description of the problem | I am unable to access the hyundai blue link software which controls remote start, engine stop, vehicle tracking and othet items. Hyundai dealer and hyundai motor corp refuses to do anything making nthis vehicle and any others with the same feature a hazard. If someone hacks into my old emailaccount they can remotely start the car in our garage killing us, or remotely start and unlock the dorrs anywhere and there is nothing we can do. These vehicles should be recalled immediately and the corporate executives who have allowed this to continue be brought up on criminal charges. The car is also equipped with summer only tires in the midwest? Unsafe to drive in any cold weather with snow or ice. |
