On April 28, 2025 my car cut off in the middle of traffic. I turned the car completely off. I was able to turn it back on and move it out of traffic. I called my mechanic and he looked at it, He checked the oil and there was oil I'm it. He drove it around a parking lot and heard a rattling noise, He tried to get it to his shop, the rattling got louder and louder, He was scared the engine would lock up, We parked it and had to have it towed to my residence. In the last 6-8 months I had to put oil in my car EVERY week. I have taken to mi mechanic several times checking for leaks. I have been to the dealer checking to see if they there has been any recalls. Due to this situation I have NO transportation. I am already financially struggling and now I have to figure out what to do I have already paid out of pocket for the ABS to be replaced as well. My sun roof I cannot open due to the rollers r stop working. This has worst experience I have has with a brand new car, I previously owned a Hyundai and had a wonderful experience.

When driving front right brake caliper locked up and would not release, after replacing brake pads, rotors and calipers on both front right brakes. I drove my car about a week and car brakes locked up again…I then had to have my car towed to the mechanics. Where they discovered that the ABS module was bad, this is the same part that is causing fires in many others Hyundai vehicles but somehow my car was exempt from the recall and after having issues with getting the part and having to rent a car and borrow a car for several weeks I finally got my car fixed almost $3000.00 later. Seems to me this part is a common problem for many people. Thankfully I was not in an accident due to the brake locking up, I will say I had a little fear when driving my car for several weeks after the 2 incidents.

All safety lights AEB, TMPS, ABS, on. The car breaking as driven due to this issue. Reported to Hyundai Headquarters. They said it was a major safety issue but not willing to pay for repairs especially since it's a safety issue.There many reports online of people experiencing the same issue with new cars as well. Having to pay for this is not very noble of Hyundai.

Driving 65mph, loss of power and cel light came on. Manged to get vehicle home. Did not notice any engine noise . Checked cel code. P1326. Did investigation on code and found long list of issues, including excessive oil consumption. Checked oil and found none on dipstick. No oil light was illuminated. Have had no issues with oil loss prior till today. Oil changes every 5000 miles. Bought vehicle in 2020 with 57000 miles(currently 110000) and was not aware of service code 953, so not sure if vehicle is updated. Vehicle is currently parked and will be towed to nearest dealership, but from reading prior complaints, and as Hyundai will not replace the motor, most likely a waste of time. Will join class action lawsuit over this. Aware of ABS recall and was going to schedule that service, but vehicle is currently not drivable.

I bought this vehicle and there was a complete break down malfunction due to the ABS module system! This lack of due diligence caused both myself and my 7 year old to unwillingly enter a vehicle that put our lives at risk and a near death experience that still traumatizes my daughter until this day who refuses to enter any vehicle! This is an unfortunate mistake on your end and there is no where near enough compensation that will ever withdraw the fear from my innocent child’s eyes anytime I need to drive her to school, or basketball practice, or anywhere to run our daily errands and live a normal life! I have nothing else to add except I expect compensation for a safe vehicle and compensation necessary to help my child, my innocent child to get through this fear!
