What owners say
After Hyundai performed a recall service on my vehicle, the radiator hose burst while I was driving on the highway, causing the engine to fail completely. Smoke came from the engine compartment, and I had to pull over immediately with my family to avoid a serious accident. Before the recall, the vehicle had no issues and ran perfectly for three months after purchase. The problem occurred only a few days after the recall service, which included work on the ABS module. Hyundai refused to take responsibility, even though this failure happened right after the recall repair. The dealership and manufacturer did not inspect the vehicle properly and made their decision based only on a phone conversation. This is a severe safety concern because the engine failed suddenly on the highway. I believe this failure is directly related to the recall work performed under the federal safety agency Recall #21V160000, which is still listed as incomplete on the federal safety agency records.

As a result, the driver drove over it which caused the rack and pinion to fracture. The contact stated that the crash warning message displayed. The contact merged to the shoulder of the road and discovered the module 4 ABS system, interface to the power steering, and the dust front cover of the vehicle fractured due to the object on the roadway. The contact experienced a minor injury, but medical attention was not required. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the abs line and rack and pinion needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact informed the dealer that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 21V160000 Components SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC. The VIN was included however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 91,130.
I was driving in the road about 50mph and with the wet road. I lost the car control without any reason, even with the low speed. Looks like the break or the ABS system wasn’t working and I got hydroplaning and an accident.
