Leak which may cause a fire. This is second recall for same problem. I feel unsafe while driving. They say if ABS light comes on to stop immediately. Unable to park in my garage or close to the house. No incidents as of now. I do not understand why this is taking so long and we are expected to drive an unsafe vehicle. Value of car has also dropped.
2015 Hyundai Santa Fe brakes complaints

Recall 194 is related to potential electrical fire. This recall has been out since 9/2020 and yet no dealership has parts to fix the problem. I have call at least 3 times and get told "parts are not available". Lat call is the date below.
Received recall notice; told to park car outside as it could catch fine. Took car to dealership to have it repaired. Was told diagnostic show ABS module was not leaking, therefore no repair needed although they couldn't guarantee it wouldn't leak in the future. Called hyundai corporate (listened to campaign 953) detailing that an electronic update was installed which if the leak occurs, the car would be placed in a mode that would not allow it to be driven fast and to immediately go to hyundai dealership. I want my car repaired and part replaced. This electronic update does not do that ... If the corporation knows the part is faulty they should replace all, not just those that test bad at the time of the check. Was given no other recourse.
My 2015 hyundai santa fe has been recalled due to the anti-lock system (ABS) modules that could leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrica short over time. The piston seals in the ABS modules's hydraulic valve could leak brake fluid into the electronic control unit (euc) . An electrical short in the ABS module could increase the risk of an engine compartment fire. The safety recall letter I received 12-24-20 stated to call the nearest hyundai dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment to have this repaired. I called on jan 12, 2021 to my dealership and was told the parts to fix the recall were not in yet and they could not tell me when they would be available. I find this to be very concerning that I may have a car that anytime could catch on fire and hyundai cannot fix it.
As part of the federal safety agency recall #20v‑520, hyundai recall #194, I was informed the part that has started fires, would may merely be inspected and not replaced. This part should be replaced since it is known to start fires.

I have already replaced the map sensor and the battery last year. Car was shutting off while driving with no warning. Check engine light would stay on. Recently in last couple months noticed issues with the brakes. When applying pressure to brakes while on freeway the steering would shake and feel like I had no control. Just received notice of a brake recall but there is still no remedy. How long do I wait for them to come up with a remedy?
In late september we received a recall notification ("campaigne194") from the manufacturer stating that a break fluid leak in the anti-lock brake system could cause an electrical short with potential fire in the engine compartment. My wife immediately went to the dealer, fitzgerald hyundai rockville md, to get it fixed. They said the fix was not ready and that we would be contacted. When told them that we planned to drive to south florida (from just north of washington dc), they brushed off her concern with a careless attitude. We are nervous about driving the vehicle at all and see on your website that the manufacturer is obliged "to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner". We have received no follow-up from them and feel that given this began in august, a "timely manner" has not been met. Is our vehicle safe to drive?! We thank you in advance for your quick response.

2015 hyundai santa fee I bought new, turbo sport. At 26,750 miles the disc pads on all 4 wheels fell off the steel backing plates. The pads in the front were paper thin and the back were somewhat better. The "squealers" that warn you of pad thickness never made a sound. Dangerous situation. I'm a 50 year service mechanics, never saw this before. The pads could have caused an accident with lack of stopping. I'm not asking for money back from them, warning owners not to expect the 50k mileage standard for hyundai vehicles. I called them at headquarters to warn them of this situation. Could have caused grand mother and child some serious out come as that is the only use for this vehicle. Beware
The car stalls and completely loses power. We just hit the 62k mile mark. When it loses power even the brakes do not work. When you stop at a stop light or stop sign the car jerks. The exhaust is smoking badly. This has happened on more than one occasion and with more than one driver.
