2019 Hyundai Tucson

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while in her daughter's possession, the engine had failed to start after multiple attempts. Several warning lights illuminated the instrument panel during the failure. The vehicle was jumpstarted and the horn began to blare once the engine restarted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where they were unable to determine the failure. The contact also stated that the vehicle would rattle while both idle and upon activation of the AC. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was given to a case manager; she was later instructed by the case manager to take the vehicle back to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

While on the road, the 2019 Hyundai Tucson Value dashboard warning lights lit up and stated to check the Lane Keeping Assist and the Forward Collision Assist. The engine light, anti-skid light and power steering light came on as well as the car began to decelerate while in the middle of traffic. I pulled over and turned the car off. When trying to turn back on, the car would not start again until I began pumping the gas with my foot for a few seconds then it started; however, now the engine light was on although it drove normally after that. This has happened to me a few times now, but is very scary because it gives no warning and when I take it to the dealership they can never find anything wrong with it.

This car was stolen because the manufacturer neglected to install an immobilizer in the engine. The car was locked and parked in a secure location, and someone broke the window, opened the steering column and was able to start the car with simply a USB. This incident could have entirely been avoided if it weren’t for the negligence of Hyundai manufacturers for not installing a key component of this vehicle. The engine immobilizer. The car has since been in the shop for 50 days attempting to repair the damage done by the thieves. Charging me tons of money in deductibles, transportation fees, rental coverage. Again, all of this could have been avoided if Hyundai was a responsible dealer.

2019 Hyundai Tucson I purchased 13 months ago with a mere 5, 241 miles on it., (Currently 29k mi) from Bert Ogden Subaru/Mazda in Edinburg, TX. On 6/26/22 it Started Shaking violently then "rodknocking" and finally failing in middle of major, high-traffic hwy. Near causing accident. NOwarning lights, check engine lights, oil lights, etc. Car was towed to Tipton Ford Hyundai, in Brownsville, TX. As it urns out (through my own research), my vin# falls under a recall issue that was not fixed prior to purchase nor disclosed to me, re:"engine monitoring and logics warning system failure". More importantly, 2) There are several class-action lawsuits underway, one settled, in which Hyundai was found liable for faulty "class II Theta Engines" and a suit involving "GDI NU 2.OL" (same as my vehicle) leading to rod knocking sensor failure, premature worn bearings and even cars catching fire! This is a no-brainer situation in which hyundai should be replacing my engine as ordered, but instead they are claiming, vehicle "neglect" (all maint. receipts were provided)and rejecting claim(which seems to be their m.o. based on similar complaints / civil filings that are ALL OVER THE WEB) and dealer says Im responsible for paying for new engine. Not sure who is responsible: the dealer I purchased from, for selling me a defective vehicle, the Hyundai dealer it was towed to, or Hyundai itself for denying what is a VERY well known liability on their part and apparently a widespread years-long issues with engine defects, recalls, suits, judgements, etx but have many court transcripts of consumers claiming Hyundai blaming thd customer for "neglect" to avoid replacing engine. I need legal help and advice. I HAVE to have car for work and dealer knows it and seems hyundai does, because they wont cover rental, wont provide "loaner" and seems dealer didnt even debate this with HMA because I purchased vehicle elsewhere. They just accepted Hyundai's denial and is now attempting to take advantage.

IN SEPT. 2020 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2019 HYUNDAI TUCSON. I IMMEDIATELY CALL AND WAS PUT ON A WAITING LIST TO GET IT FIXED.. HERE IT IS 8 MONTHS LATER AND STILL DO NOT HAVE MY CAR FIXED. I KEEP DOING FOLLOW UPS ON MY CAR AND JUST GET THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE KEPT NOTES EACH TIME IVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP(PARTS DEPT) AND THE RESPONSES THEY'VE GIVEN ME AND THE LAST ONE THEY LIED TO ME. MY DEALERSHIP IS IN CLEVELAND TN(GREY EPPERSON HYUNDAI)..1ST CALL-GOT ON WAITING LIST; 2ND CALL-WAS TOLD THEY HAD SOME PARTS IN BUT THEY HAD TO GO ON THE CARS WAITING TO BE SOLD; 3RD CALL-WAS TOLD THEIR SYSTEM HAD BEEN HACKED AND THEY COULDNT SEE WHAT THEY HAD; 4TH CALL-PARTS GUY HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND REFERED ME TO SOMEONE NAME RANDY. HE PROCEDED TO TELL ME OH THEY HAD PLENTY OF PARTS BUT WHEN I ASKED HIM WHY NO ONE HAD CALLED ME THEN HE COULDNT SAY. HE THEN SCHEDULED ME FOR AN APPT FOR MAY5, 2021 @2:30.MY HUSBAND AND I DRIVE OVER AN HOUR FOR THE APPT ONLY TO BE TOLD BY THE TWO GIRLS IN THE PARTS DEPT THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE IN THE PARTS/KITS FOR MY VEHICLE AND THEY DIDNT KNOW WHY THE GUY(RANDY) TOLD ME THEY DID. I'M REALLY FURIOUS WITH THIS PLACE RIGHT NOW AN WILL NEVER BUY FROM THEM AGAIN. DONT KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN?

UPON RECEIVING A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ON MY 2019 HYUNDAI TUCSON, I CONTACTED TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR FOR THE RECALL. EACH DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND NEED TO BE ORDERED AND THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THE PARTS WERE IN. I WAS CONTACTED BY ONE DEALERSHIP AND HAD AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR MID DECEMBER 2020. UPON ARRIVING, THAT DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I DID NOT HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED EVEN THOUGH I RECEIVED AN EMAIL CONFIRMATION FOR THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THEY TURNED ME AWAY AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THE PARTS WERE IN. IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO MONTHS SINCE AND HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I'VE CALLED BOTH DEALERSHIPS TO FOLLOW UP WITH THEM AND EACH DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE PARTS HAD NOT BEEN RECEIVED YET AND THUS THEY COULD NOT PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS RECALL REPAIR IS BEING PERFORMED IN A TIMELY MANNER AND I FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS OPEN AND DANGEROUS RECALL TO THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM SINCE AUGUST 20, 2020. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE STILL ON BACK ORDER. I JUST HEARD YESTERDAY THAT HYUNDAI IS RECOMMENDING TO PARK THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE DUE TO A POSSIBLE RISK OF THE CAR CATCHING FIRE. THIS TO ME IS AN IMPORTANT RECALL THAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIX FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUE TO THE PARTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE HYUNDAI DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT HAVE A TIME FRAME AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE OR WHEN THEY WOULD BE RECEIVING THEM. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND HYUNDAI NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE THESE CRUCIAL PARTS FOR A BRAKING SYSTEM AVAILABLE FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS FOR MYSELF AND FOR THE COUNTLESS OTHER COSTUMERS WHO ARE PROBABLY WAITING EVEN LONGER. THEY DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM SELLING/LEASING YOU A VEHICLE AND TAKING A PAYMENT EVERY MONTH AND IT SEEMS LIKE THEY DON'T VALUE A LIFE SINCE THEY COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AND SHOULD BE ASSESSED A FINE FOR EVERYDAY DAY OVER THE REQUIRED TIME BY LAW THAT THEY HAD TO FIX THE ISSUE.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 20V-543 REGARDING THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM MODULES IN EARLY NOVEMBER. MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CORRECTIVE MEASURES TAKEN AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER 2 MONTHS AND EVERY TIME I CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER, I'M TOLD PARTS ARE ON ORDER. HYUNDAI IS RISKING THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY AND PROPERTY BY NOT CORRECTING THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER. WHY AREN'T PARTS AVAILABLE AND WHEN CAN MAR VEHICLE BE REPAIRED AS STATED IN THE RECALL NOTICE? AGAIN, I HAVE SPOKEN WITH CONSUMER ADVOCATES IN HYUNDAI AND WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH NO RESULTS. CAN YOU HELP OR IS THIS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF NO ONE CARING ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM.

RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL CAMPAIGN 195 ON NOV 11TH AND IMMEDIATELY MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR NOV 16TH. ON NOV 16TH AT 10:13AM,I RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYING THE PART FOR RECALLWAS NOT IN AND I CANNOT GET THE SERVICE COMPLETE. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY AND ASKED WHEN THE PART WOULD COME IN AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE. IT IS NOW DEC 26TH AND THE PART IS STILL NOT IN AND HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE OR THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW WHEN. I HAVE HAD TO PARK MY CAR OUTSIDE OF MY GARAGE BECAUSE THE RECALL MAY CAUSE AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE.
