My husband was driving the car to work and all of a sudden a bunch of dash warning lights came on. It was lit up like a Christmas tree. Then the car went into limp mode. The vehicle has been at the dealership 4 weeks. And they refuse to do a 20 min test on the ABS module. It is a part of the HECU Settlement. You can find the settlement at [XXX] My husband is an electronic engineer. He knows why all the lights are on simultaneously. The ABS needs to be replaced. It's causing all the communication to go down that's on that can bus system. That's why all the parts dont make sense to each other. It all boils down to the ABS improperly working causing communication issues. The recall fix did fix the fires. It won't catch fire now but the ABS is still malfunctioning. There's a lawsuit. All vehicles involved in the recall are required a free ABS inspection and a replacement if they are malfunctioning but the dealership refuses to diagnose the ABS. That is the loophole Hyundai has found to not uphold the law. They are not standing by the settlement. They are skirting around from checking the ABS module so they won't find the malfunction. They want us to replace parts that are brand new that my husband just replaced. They want to charge us $700 for some other part and refuse to check the ABS system per the lawsuit. My husband needs that vehicle to work. So he's been out of work for 4 weeks. It's ridiculous! I can't hire a lawyer at this time and it's ridiculous that I may have to. This corporation should uphold their part of a lawsuit! There was already a settlement. My vehicle is included without even submitting a claim. It's ABS warranty is also extended per the lawsuit. I've read it backwards and forwards. I'm so at a loss! I need help. They also refuse to help us with a loaner and that will force us to drive an unsafe car in limp mode off the property when they are responsible for fixing this faulty part per the settlement INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Approximately one week after having my oil changed at a Hyundai dealership, I began experiencing intermittent collision safety alerts and multiple dashboard warning lights. On three separate occasions when I started the vehicle, warnings appeared for the forward and rear collision systems, along with multiple other sensor warnings and engine warning lights. During one incident while driving in traffic, the forward collision warning activated and the vehicle abruptly applied the brakes. I was nearly rear-ended as a result. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealership on two separate occasions. The dealership reported replacing a sensor, but the warning lights and collision system issues have continued to occur intermittently. I am concerned that the vehicle may unexpectedly apply the brakes again, creating a risk of a collision.

My car suddenly broke down on the side of a busy highway halfway through my workday. When attempting to restart it, all warning lights came on on the dashboard and I could see white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe while the car shook. I had it towed to the nearest Hyundai dealership and they confirmed it was broken fuel injector(s). I do not have the broken piece to show as it is with the dealership. It has not been examined by police or insurance. No warning lights came on until after the car had suddenly slowed to a stop and I attempted to restart it.

When the vehicle in front of me stopped quickly, I braked quickly but did not hit the car. At that time, all the lights on my dashboard went off and were still on when I took the car to dealer for a diagnosis.

All the warning lights in the day lit up. Brake, LDWS, AEB, outside air temperature won’t read and the a/c blows hot. $486 to diagnose at dealer and they state that it’s an electrical issue due to a bad vacuum pump. I can’t get an answer as to whether the vacuum pump safety campaign was completed or not. Dealer wants $1500 to replace.
