I took my car into Burns Hyundai (Marlton, NJ) for the ABS recall on [XXX], and while leaving the lot, my car doors began locking/unlocking when I braked or accelerated... I called them and took it back on the 10/09 and I was told they did everything correctly and I would have to PAY to have my vehicle diagnosed for THEIR error. I then took my car to Meineke (right next door to Hyundai) for other services recommended by Hyundai on 10/7 (which Meineke later told me that I DON'T need to have done at all) and Meineke told me that Hyundai DID cause the software issue when doing the ABS recall. I filed a complaint with Hyundai (Hyundai Consumer Affairs Case#: [XXX]) and the solution was again for me to take my vehicle back (Burns Hyundai in Marlton OR Hyundai in Burlington) for a diagnosis, and if THEY determine the software issue is not related to whatever they did for the ABS recall, I would have to foot the diagnosis bill. Because Burns Hyundai refused to take accountability from from the onset for their error(s) with my vehicle, my car doors now unlock/lock while I'm DRIVING my vehicle which is DANGEROUS especially if I have children in the back seat.

Hyundai has an active recall with a remedy for the ABS system on Hyundai Elantra. The local Hyundai dealership has zero appointments available to repair this for me for many months.

the federal safety agency: #23V651000 I need to know when I can get this major problem fix. This is a safety issue that needs attention. The vehicles anti-lock brake system module could leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short. An electrical short could result in significant overcurrent in the ABS module, increasing the risk of an engine compartment fire while driving or parked. [XXX] I was contacted took my vehicle in and was told a fuse would be ordered and I would be called back in to to get this safety issue fixed. I just spoke with the Service Manager in Terrell and he said the remedy was taken away on [XXX], one day after I was a the dealership and ALL ordered were canceled. Please see my invoice from [XXX] in attachment. This is a BIG problem for me. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Hyundai's recall 251 regarding the ABS system and potential for unexpected fire has gone unresolved for too long. I am unable to park my car so that it is safe and there is a concern there can be damage to other's property. Even if I park on the street away from structures, other people park their cars next to mine and I have no way of preventing this.

During normal vehicle operation at approx. 45 MPH, dry pavement, the vehicle brakes suddenly locked up, causing the vehicle to skid left into oncoming traffic with tires screeching. During the skid into oncoming traffic and a frightening attempt to control the vehicle, the ABS light blinked several times then went off. This could have resulted in deadly consequences had I been driving in heavy traffic or on an interstate. ( a few days prior, while traveling at approx. 50 MPH the brakes were making a horrific grinding noise with no pressure applied to the brake pedal. This resulted in decrease of speed in the vehicle in which it would not accelerate above 40 MPH.) the vehicle was towed to the hyundai dealer where they questioned if there was any problem. The computer readings were all good and showed no problems with the vehicle. Finally, after a service technician driving it home for the night and experiencing the problem twice himself, they realized there was a serious issue with the brakes. The hecu (hydraulic electronic control unit) had failed at 31,685 miles. This is the answer the service department has given for the problem. The vehicle is still currently in the service department being repaired. I am still in fear of driving this vehicle even though it is being repaired.
