As I was driving on 76 in Philadelphia pa my engine seized it wouldn't go over 5mph. I panicked because of the highway I was on that. I put my hazard lights on as I made my way over to the side. My car was towed to the dealership this is the 3rd engine that is being replaced. Th whole dashboard lit up prior to the engine and its still showing no recall on my car. Yet the dealership said its part of it. So now I'm waiting for a new engine once again. I just reached 72,000 miles. They did give me a loaner.

I have been receiving recall notices from Hyundai since approximately March 2022 for a fire risk related to the anti-lock breaking system, and to date they have not implemented a repair or fix or given any indication of the time frame in which I can expect a fix to be completed. I went to the dealer several months ago and they indicated that they did not have any information on how long it would be until a repair is implemented. I just received another letter this week (November 2022), almost 8 months since my first notification, and the letter states the same information. Hyundai should have to provide replacement vehicles or reimburse us for our vehicle. I do not feel safe with a car that can suddenly catch on fire. In addition, I cannot simply park my vehicle outside or away from structures. I work in a Government building and park in a public parking garage for work with hundreds of other people in a highly populated area with no street parking. Their suggested solution is nonsense and unworkable. I am concerned that they are not doing what needs to be done to get this recall handled. It has also diminished the value of my vehicle and I could not possibly sell it or obtain the same value with an open recall with no foreseeable solution.

Hyundai Motor Company, the manufacturer of my 2014 Tuscon, has exceeded a reasonable amount of time to provide a remedy for NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V056000 (recall 218). According to documents published on the NHTSA website, investigations relating to this recall have been ongoing since Sept. 2020. It is also stated that owners of affected vehicles were notified in March 2022. The "Dealer Best Practice" document (see attached) states that 14-15MY Tuscon owners would be notified in May 2022 that a remedy for their vehicle is still under development. I have not received any notification regarding this recall. Upon learning of the recall while scheduling maintenance, I contacted the manufacturer asking for a proposed date for a remedy, but they have failed to provide me with one or explain to me any options for alternative remedies. Vehicle manufacturers are required to both notify vehicle owners of recalls and provide a date for which a remedy will be available (Code of Federal Regulations Title 49, Subtitle B, Ch. V, Part 577). Due to the risks associated with this recall and the other safety recalls affecting Hyundai models, I have lost faith in Hyundai Motor Company and no longer feel safe having my current vehicle in my possession. I would like to request a refund of the purchase price of my vehicle in accordance with state and federal laws.

There is a recall on my vehicle that could cause it to catch fire whether parked or being driven. Hyundai has yet to provide a remedy for this issue and this vehicle is my primary transportation. I have been made aware of instances where other vehicles have caught fire that are under this same recall. I have children and this is taking too long for a remedy. I have also contacted Hyundai dealership and Hyundai Customer Care in regards to getting into a safer vehicle and have not been offered any assistance in this regard. I am being told that this will be just like any other trade in and the current cost of the same model is much higher. If Hyundai is not providing a remedy in a timely manner, there should be some soft of recourse so that owners are not driving unsafe vehicles.

March 2021 I had a problem with my brakes, took it to the local dealership and they replaced my master cylinder and brake pads. This was after I had already had total engine failure in December and had my car at a dealership in North Little Rock, AR for almost 3 months, I had literally just got my car back when i started having brake issues, no pressure. Now, it's January 28th and I suddenly had the same brake issue as the year before, no brake pressure. I could pump the brakes and get pressure and was hoping it was just a temporary issue with air in the lines or something. I called the dealership that changed out my master cylinder and brake pads in March 2021, as it was almost a year later. I dropped my car off on 2/11 at 7 am, it is 7/14 and they still have my car, they are saying there is no problem, but will drive the car again. I'm afraid that there is a serious issue and will get the car back and not have the issue resolved. And now seeing the recall issue with ABS and my car is part of that recall, I don't want something bad to happen, and if I don't say something in writing it will not be noted in case of a larger issue. And I feel like i'm having one issue after another with my car, i'm the only owner and have taken very good care of my car.

DP22003 · Loss Of Motive Power
Opened Sep 12, 2022 · Closed Dec 12, 2023
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Engine
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received a letter dated July 13, 2022, petitioning the Agency to initiate a safety defect investigation into loss of motive power allegations attributed to oil drain pan assembly failures on certain Hyundai Motor America, Inc. and Kia America, Inc. vehicles spanning Model Years (MY) 2005-2021. The Petitioners cited examples of complaints indicating that the subject vehicles were experiencing rapid loss of engine oil due to oil drain plug back outs, resulting in loss of motive power and/or catastrophic engine damage. Additional complaints were provided which alleged that the oil drain pans lack sufficient structural integrity and are susceptible to cracking. The petition itself can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI number 11481745. On September 12, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Defect Petition (DP22-003) to evaluate the Petitioners’ request. The Petitioners have provided additional complaints within four supplemental letters dated January 31, 2023, March 21, 2023, May 23, 2023, and August 4, 2023. ODI’s evaluation included the review and analysis of the complaints and supporting information submitted by the Petitioners, as well as additional complaints submitted directly to NHTSA which referenced either the oil drain plug or a crack in the oil pan. After reviewing the available data, ODI has not identified evidence that would support opening a defect investigation into the oil drain pan assemblies of the subject vehicles. Based on a review of the available information, a loss of motive power resulting from an oil drain plug back out has not occurred between the initial sale of a vehicle and the completion of its first oil change. If during an oil change service, a technician fails to remove the existing drain plug gasket before installing a new gasket, it is likely that a proper seal between the drain plug and the oil pan will not be made. An improper seal between the drain plug and oil pan could lead to the backing out on the drain plug, resulting in the sudden loss of oil while driving. Additionally, the provided examples of oil pan cracks were localized to the immediate vicinity of the oil drain plug and/or appeared to be the result of direct-contact with a tool during servicing. There is no information to support that a vehicle-based defect exists relating to the oil pan assembly, and instead the documented incidents are related to the failure to follow the proper maintenance procedures during oil change service. In October 2023, Hyundai published a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) that provided detailed instructions for oil change service on its gasoline powered vehicles, specifically highlighting the need to remove and replace the existing drain plug gasket prior to reinstalling the drain plug. After a thorough review of the material submitted by the petitioner, the information already in NHTSA's possession, and the potential risks to motor vehicle safety implicated by the petitioners' allegations, NHTSA does not believe that a formal investigation is warranted. Therefore, the petition is denied. A Federal Register Notice (FRN) further detailing NHTSA’s reasons for denial of the petition will be published. The reference numbers for the complaints to NHTSA cited by the petitioner can be found in the petition submission documents in the public file for DP22-003. To review those complaints and the additional complaints ODI added to its evaluation which are cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.
