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.
