I am very upset that there’s no corrective measures for this recall issue. I can’t drive my car due to the fear of it catching fire. I can’t park my car away from my residence due to a mobility handicap. I have not been able to get any information on when this will be be resolved. I would appreciate your attention to this matter…

ABS system malfunctioned in the following manner. ABS sensor displayed. Brakes pedal must be depressed to the floorboard in order to "try" to stop. The emergency "e brake" will not engage & is non-functioning. Contacted Hyundai Headquarters for recall resolution as this issue could harm/kill my child &/or others. The car is unsafe to be driven. Hyundai resolution rep made an appt for at a local dealership. The dealership stated they would repair the car regardless of the recall, but I would have to pay & have Hyundai "try" to reimburse me as they do not have a "fix" for the recall as it could supposedly start a fire &/or lose braking system. Question? How can you repair a vehicle due to recall failure, yet NOT have a "fix" for the recall? Something not adding up. Start of incident with car July 2023. I continue to have to pay for insurance and tag registrations for a car that cannot be driven safely as Hyundai states there is no "fix" as of yet. Due to fire risk the car must be parked outside to endure weather elements which deteriorates the vehicle.

There are leak stains all over my engine, and my car started smoking. I got the recall notice 2 days after the incident, and there are no remedies yet for my abs sensor to be replaced.
