It has been OVER 6 MONTHS since there has been a recall on my vehicle (Hyundai Recall 218 / NHTSA Recall 22V-056). It is a MAJOR safety hazard which could cause an engine fire while parked or driving and there is no remedy as of today, Aug. 7th. This needs to be addressed asap. NHTSA might also want to check their numbers/email. The number provided on the safety recall docs automatically hangs up on me when I try to call NHTSA @ 888-327-4236, and the email address provided (https://www.safecar.gov) says site can not be reached.

They have been sending me notices for months now saying that my car could catch fire...even when parked but cannot come up with a resolution. I have to keep my car outside and take a risk every time I have to drive it. They should be pulling us in and changing the ABS. Do we have to wait until we and/or our property is damaged? This is ridiculous and needs to be remedied now. They could at least give us loaners that while we wait.

Dear DOT Complaints, My Hyundai Tucson has a recall and it has been months for Hyundai to find a solution to the problem. Vin no.KM8JTCAF1FU050273. I am worried my car may catch fire and would like you to expedite the recall and have this issue resolved. It is very worrisome that the manufacturer is being negligent with a defective automobile on the road and should replace it with a safe vehicle at no extra charge or quickly remedy this situation. I await your answer. How can you allow such a dangerous repair recall exist with no remedy in sight?

It’s been 5 months since the recall campaign was initiated and the parts still aren’t available to complete the repair. The recall number is 22V-056
Electrical system, Service brakes, Jun 23, 2022
There is an open safety recall on my vehicle, which has been in place since February 2, 2022. At this time, Hyundai has advised that they have no remedy and don't know when they WILL have one. Since this defect poses a potential fire threat, they advise to "park outside away from structures". I feel that 4 months is more than long enough for them to have a remedy in place. Parking my vehicle outdoors, far from structures, indefinitely is unreasonable. What recourse do we as consumers have against this? Is there anything I that can be done to fix this from your side? I was previously a very satisfied Hyundai owner, but after this I no longer have confidence in them and will no longer do business with them.
