Recall received 9/2021;brought car in for service to Lake Norman Hyundai 9/2021; service department confirmed recall and stated parts needed to be ordered for recall:contacted dealer 12/2021 was informed parts were not due to supply chain and to call back in January 2022. Called early January 2022 part was not in; 1/19/2022 engine light came on and car tugged as I entered my neighborhood: contacted service department to inform engine light was now on; was informed parts were in and to bring car in; brought car in never received call from service; call managing partner Cam Stewart was informed parts were not in for recall and engine failed-was asked if I wanted to trade the car in; replied no I would like the car repaired. Car remained in service who informed the engine failure was not a result of recall. Filed complaint with Hyundai Motor Services, Hyundai Motor Services stood by claim. The recall letter indicates the engine could shut off as a result of recall not being repaired. The time frame of prolonging the repair, in my opinion, is a direct result of car failure. Hyundai has failed and is unwilling to remedy the defect within a reasonable time.

My vehicle has a oil leakage in the lh and rh valve cover gasket that the dealer is stating to replace. Currently there is a recall for the veracruz: oil may leak from the front cylinder bank cover gasket, potentially dripping onto the alternator and causing the charging system to become inoperative. The remedy will include new dealer instructions on performing the repair. Based on an inspection, vehicles identified with no oil leakage specified in the 't' joint area will have an oil protector installed with rtv sealant application. For those vehicles identified with oil leakage, the valve cover gasket and alternator will also be replaced for those vehicles identified with an oil leakage in addition to the installation of oil protector with rtv sealant application. An oil protector will be installed on all. However the dealer is stating that the recall only covers the lh cover gasket. The recall remedy does not state. Therefore the issue is not fully resolved.

I purchased my vehicle new and have had alternator problems for the life of my car resulting in several thousands of dollars worth of repairs to replace alternator and starter several times . For the last several years I have received recall letters from hyundai addressing this exact problem. Unfortunately , they have not done anything to remedy the problem. They continue to state they are working on a recall remedy. This has continued for several years. Please help me fix my vehicle before something tragic occurs whilst the vehicle is on the highway with my family inside. Thank you.
