Over two weeks ago, I contacted Rick Case Hyundai in Plantation, FL, via the web and tried to schedule a recall service. The website came back stating there was no recall for my VIN. I went to the federal safety agency website and put in my VIN, and it stated there was one recall for that VIN. I am not sure which website is wrong, but since then, all Rick Case has been interested in is selling me a car. The service department completely ignored my inquiry, and the sales department has been responding ever since. On top of that, they have been blatantly ignoring my emails in their attempt to sell me a car. This is not my industry, so I will not speculate who could be wrong. I am saying that someone should have reached out to me and at least tried to help instead of sending me emails to help me buy a new car. I have several screenshots that I have attached.

ABS and BREAK lights have come on 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA that my daughter is driving. The local technician informed me that Hyundai vehicles have problems with ABS module breaking down and that there is a risk of catching fire. He suggested that I should contact the federal safety agency and Hyundai immediately for the recall and replacement of ABS module. While I have been parking the car outside my house away from structures until the recall repair is authorized and complete, I am afraid for my daughter to drive the vehicle.

Problem is associated with the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 20V061000. This is for the ABS braking system catching fire. The recall partially addressed the issue, but not fully. The manufacturer installed a fix that addresses the issue while the car is turned off, however the problem still exists while the vehicle is powered on. Shortly after starting the vehicle and driving approximately 3 miles, smoke started billowing out from under the hood and side of the car. The ABS light came on at the same time. The braking function was impaired and sporadic. The vehicle was stopped, turned off and the smoking subsided. After about 15 minutes the vehicle was able to make it back to the owners residence, but the ABS light remained on. Later, the ABS pump was removed, revealing a hole burned in the back of the unit. Repairs were performed by the owner, consisting of replacing the ABS pump with a salvage part, replacing two ABS fuses and bleeding the brake system. After repairs the warning lights are off and the vehicle performs as normal. No inspections have been done by any mechanics or others. The vehicle easily could have caught fire and lead to an accident had the issue occurred outside a residential area traveling at higher speed.
