While driving to work today on 1/21/2022 my vehicle was traveling at about 35 mile per hours when it suddenly began to slow and was unresponsive to my effort to maintain speed, and then several dashboard warning lights including the check engine light, charging system light, seatbelt light, and then the car began to have a loss of power and stalled. I did have my alternator and battery replaced in February of 2021 when this happened previously. Then I received a notice of the federal safety agency recall 20V705000 and had the remedy repaired completed in August 2022. I did attempt to have Hyundai USA reimburse me for my alternator repair and a previous repair I paid for related to the fault valve covers gaskets, but they refused my request for reimbursement. Now the problems and potential hazard remains. Thank you.

For the 2nd time after per hyundai a previously recalled issue was repaired, my alternator failed while driving on a interstate highway. The previous recall is number: 14v415000. When the vehicle stalled leaving me stranded and upon inspection under the hood, the alternator which was replace only 3 years ago when this last happened and per hyundai again 2 years before that for the recall, was completely covered in oil as if the recall was never done even though they say it was. (3 alternators covered in oil for a vehicle that is only 10 years old). This issue came out of no where and again left me stranded. It the recall was actually completed I believe the gasket/seal that was replaced is faulty.
