TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE PARKED THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS LATER THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AND FLAMES WERE PRESENT COMING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED AWAY. A FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE THAT MY ABS MODULE COULD DEVELOP A SHORT CIRCUIT RESULTING IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. THIS FIRE COULD OCCUR EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY. I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE TODAY, APRIL 7, 2020. I HAVE CALLED THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS IN MY PITTSBURGH AREA. THE WEXFORD SITE CANNOT SERVE ME UNTIL MAY 18 BECAUSE THEY HAVE ONLY RECEIVED 5 RECALL PARTS FROM HYUNDAI. THE SOUTH HILLS SITE DOES NOT HAVE ANY PARTS AT ALL. HYUNDAI IS FAILING TO EQUIP LOCATIONS WITH NECESSARY PARTS TO ADDRESS THIS RECALL. THEREFORE I AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER HYUNDAI CAR OWNERS ARE AT RISK OF A FIRE THAT COULD DEVELOP AND NO WAY TO PREVENT, AS THE FIRE COULD OCCUR EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. *TR

I STARTED TO HEAR A GRIDDING NOISE THAT WAS PROGRESSIVELY BECOMING LOUDER WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE DRIVING, FAST OR SLOW, HIGHWAY OR STREET, DOES NOT MATTER. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD IT FOR A WEEK WHILE REPLACING THE STEERING ASSEMBLY COLUMN (NOT 100% SURE ON EXACT NAMES OF PARTS REPLACED). I GET THE CAR BACK AND THE STEERING PROBLEMS ARE WORSE. NOW THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVING AROUND WHILE DRIVING. THAT LEVER THAT ALLOWS YOU TO ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT WORK. I CALL HYUNDAI AND AM TOLD THEY ARE BOOKED AND CAN NOT GET MY CAR IN FOR ALMOST A WEEK. IT GETS TO THE POINT THAT DRIVING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE SO I DECIDE TO TAKE THE CAR IN A FEW DAYS EARLY. AS I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70MPH THE STEERING WHEEL DROPS AND IS FLOPPING AROUND AND ALL POWER TO THE CAR GOES OFF MAKING STEERING EVEN WORSE THAN WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE WORST IT CAN GET. NOW THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SECOND TIME FOR STEERING PROBLEMS AND NOW AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
