My vehicle was under a recall. The engine lights started going off so I immediately turned around and headed back home. By the time I got home, my vehicle was close to stalling. It would not go beyond 3rd gear and would not go into reverse. I parked it on the street in front of my home and the vehicle stalled do to a failed alternator. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer honored only part of the recall. They replaced the valve gasket/T Joint but they would not replace the alternator because "it was not oil soaked". The alternator was previously replaced under the first recall and it is clear that this second alternator failed and should have been replaced as part of this second recall. My issue is that HYUNDAI IS NOT HONORING THE RECALL. I was forced to pay out of pocket $996.94 to have my alternator replaced. I have contacted the Hyundai Customer Care Center multiple times since November 2021 regarding this issue. I'm seeking that they honor the recall by reimbursing me but they have not followed up.
