| Description of the problem | My concern is whether or not there is a manufacturing defect in my 2015 hyundai sonata limited manufactured in the united states (and potentially other models as well). My owner's manual clearly states (page 5-41) that the abs warning light on the dash should illuminate for 3 seconds during start up as the abs system run a self-test, then extinguish. The abs light on my dashboard does not illuminate during startup as described in my owner's manual. Despite numerous diagnostic testing at certified hyundai dealerships, the abs system is functioning normally electrically and mechanically. I am making the following inquiries: 1. Is the 2015 hyundai sonata limited designed to have the abs warning light illuminate during startup (to confirm or deny what is published in the owner's manual)? 2. Is this a manufacturing defect that requires a recall/replacement? 3. If this is not a manufacturing defect, can hyundai motor america provide evidence (e. G., letter, updated manual publication of limited modes) that this is, in fact, normal operation of the vehicle. 4. Does the vehicle have a normally operating abs system? Is the vehicle safe to drive? These concerns deal specifically with the sound operating conditions of the vehicle, which have been put into question after a routine vehicle inspection. |
