We are an elderly couple [XXX] old. We were terrified. No warning. I got in my vehicle one morning. It smelled like something burning and the air inside was hazy. We went to our mechanic who discovered the problem and we had to wait 2 weeks before Hyundai would even allow the car to be towed to them because they were "too busy" I am a second owner of this vehicle and never received any recall notice for anything on it.This is an Un-remedied recall 188 ABS module a severe thermal event, melted the casing, exposed internal circuitry and caused a widespread electrical short that disabled the instrument cluster/speedeometer rendering the vehicle un-drivable. Manufacture is refusing to repair the vehicle and attempting a forced lowball cash payout. The are harassing me to sign over documents including title and insurance and want me to sign for them to tow the car from the hyundai dealership in New Port Richey and won't tell me where. I took meticulous care of my vehicle. It only has 102,000 miles on it and i kept everything in pristine condition. If i am forced to purchase another vehicle with Kelly Blue Book value as they mentioned to me over the phone , I will be forced to purchase a junk car that will put myself and my wife in jeapordy and is causeing us extreme stress. We are elderly on a fixed income.This is an extreme hardship on us. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
