Risk. An electrical short within the ABS Module may cause an engine compartment fire, even when the car is turned off, increasing the risk of an injury.

Remedy. Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will install a relay in the vehicle's main junction box to prevent the risk of an ABS short-circuit while the car is turned off, free of charge. The recall began April 2, 2020. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 188.

Risk. If the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy. Hyundai will notify all of the owners. For vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia, dealers will replace the secondary latch.

Defect. Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Accent, model year 2007-2011 Azera, Sonata and Sante Fe,2006-2011 Tucson, 2009-2011 Elantra Touring, 2007-2010 Elantra, 2008-2011 Veracruz, 2009-2011 Genesis, 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, 2007-2008 Entourage, and 2006-2008 Tiburon vehicles. Originally, in April 2013, Hyundai recalled 1,059,824 model year 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson, model year 2007-2010 Elantra, model year 2007-2011 Santa Fe, model year 2008-2009 Veracruz, model year 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, and model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 1,712,336. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake transmission shift interlock feature, preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.

Risk. Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.

THE STOP LAMP SWITCH IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY MALFUNCTION. A MALFUNCTIONING STOP LAMP SWITCH MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED OR MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED. A STOP LAMP SWITCH MALFUNCTION MAY ALSO AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE BRAKE-TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK FEATURE SO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE SHIFTED OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. IT MAY ALSO CAUSE THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) MALFUNCTION LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE, AND IT MAY NOT DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED.

Risk. ANY OF THESE MALFUNCTIONS, ALONE OR IN COMBINATION, MAY LEAD TO A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE STOP LAMP SWITCH FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 29, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-633-5151.

AN IMPROPERLY POSITIONED STOP LAMP SWITCH WIRING HARNESS COULD MAKE CONTACT WITH THE U-JOINT ASSEMBLY OF THE STEERING COLUMN. REPEATED CONTACT MAY EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE WIRING HARNESS INSULATION TO CHAFE.

Risk. CHAFED INSULATION COULD CAUSE A SHORT OF THE WIRING HARNESS RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF BRAKE LIGHTS, ENGINE STALLING, OR AN INABILITY TO START THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WIRING HARNESS FOR CHAFING AND REPAIR IT IF NECESSARY. ALSO, THE DEALER WILL SECURE THE WIRING HARNESS TO PREVENT FUTURE CONTACT WITH THE U-JOINT ASSEMBLY.THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 9, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HYUNDAI AT 1-800-633-5151.

Suspension front right control arm broke due to excessive corrosion and rust.

The valve over eventually leaks oil that drips down on to the alternator. This cause the electrical system to fail, the battery and brake lights come on. Then slowly all lights come on as battery shuts down. This is a known issue with this engine. This happened to me yesterday while driving at night leaving the car unable to drive. When the battery completely shuts down you cannot even move the vehicle out of Park, as electric is needed to disengage the the shifter from park, so you cannot even push the vehicle off of the road. Hyundai has a recall for the exact same engine in the Veracruz. Here are two videos showing issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSLmj8Gqc1Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Q78so3GPI https://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/entourage/engine-oil-leaking-problems.php The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v415000 (engine and engine cooling).

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE IN 2015 AND 2 MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT BOTH DOORS MOTORS STOPPED WORKING. THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WILL ONLY OPEN ABOUT 10 TO 15 INCHES.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON WHEN KEY IS IN ON POSITION. IT STAYS ON WITH OR WITHOUT PERSON IN PASSENGER SEAT, IN MOTION OR PARKED,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM FRACTURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V556000 (SUSPENSION) FIVE YEARS AGO. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WAS INSUFFICIENT AND THAT THERE SHOULD BE AN ANNUAL INSPECTION TO ASCERTAIN POSSIBLE DAMAGE.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON WHEN KEY IS IN ON POSITION. IT STAYS ON WITH OR WITHOUT PERSON IN PASSENGER SEAT, IN MOTION OR PARKED,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAPITOL HYUNDAI(2820 EASTERN BLVD, MONTGOMERY, AL) FOR REPAIRS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. NO DIAGNOSIS INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK YESTERDAY MORNING, I WAS TURNING OFF A SIDE ROAD ONTO A MAIN ROAD. AS SOON AS I TURNED ON TO THE MAIN ROAD THE VAN SOUNDED LIKE MAYBE IT HAD A FLAT, IT DID NOT. BOTH ESC LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE STEERING AND BRAKING WAS ERRATIC AND THERE WAS NO PICK UP. I COULD NOT GET THE WHEELS TO TURN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE STEERING WHEEL FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME MOVING INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET SHORT PERIOD OF CONTROL, ENOUGH TO BARLEY TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. I AM SO FORTUNATE THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH OR COULD HAVE BEEN HORRIFIC. I DID CALL HYUNDAI AND THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS FOR THE VAN INCLUDING THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS. I ASKED IF THEY CAN TOW TO THE NEAREST DEALER CONSIDERING I JUST AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT AND HAD NO CONTROL. HYUNDAI WILL NOT TOW TO THE DEALER. THEY DID OFFER TO REIMBURSE ME IF I TOW IT, BUT THAT DOES NOT HELP ME CURRENTLY. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED BY HYUNDAI BEFORE A DRIVER IS NOT ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT DUE TO HAVING NO PICK UP OR CONTROL OF THE STEERING.

TAKATA RECALL MY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IT'S NOT WORKING I WAS DRIVING AND WHEN I STOP TO GET SOMETHING I PARKED AND TURN OFF THE VAN THAT IS WHEN I SEE THAT

THE PASSENGER REAR (SLIDER) DOOR FAILS TO LATCH CLOSED, EITHER IN POWER-ASSIST OR NON-POWER-ASSIST MODE. AS A RESULT, THE DOOR MAY OPEN SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING. THE MOTORIZED DOOR'S CONTROL PROTOCOLS CAUSE THE DOOR TO OPEN FULLY AFTER THE FAILURE TO LATCH IS DETECTED. IF THE LATCH ELECTRONIC ACTUATOR FAILS, THERE IS NO ACCESS TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE LATCH WHILE THE DOOR IS IN CLOSED POSITION.

WHEN THE SLIDING DOOR IS CLOSED IT POPS OPEN AGAIN ABOUT 2 SECONDS AFTER CLOSING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED EITHER MANUALLY OR ELECTRICALLY. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

MY WIFE DRIVES A 2007 ENTOURAGE SE THAT CURRENTLY HAS 96,000 MILES ON IT. A SHORT TIME AGO THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT 'SOFT' OR WHAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT CALL 'SPONGY' OR "MUSHY" ACCOMPANIED WITH GRADUAL 'LEAK DOWN'OR "FADING" OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. AS THIS IS NORMALLY A SYMPTOM OF A FAILING MASTER CYLINDER, I REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS DID NOTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. NEXT, I REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS (ALTHOUGH THEY WERE PROBABLY ONLY HALF WORN) TO PUSH MORE FLUID BACK INTO THE RESERVOIR IN HOPES IT WOULD 'TIGHTEN UP' THE PEDAL FEEL. THIS ALSO DID NOT IMPROVE THE SITUATION. THE FRONT BRAKE PADS ARE RELATIVELY RECENT AND NOT IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. I NEXT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS A FAILURE OF THE ABS MODULE (PUMP AND CONTROL UNIT) THAT THEY DON'T SEE VERY OFTEN. BASED ON THE DEALERSHIP ADVICE, I REPLACED THE ABS MODULE. THIS HAD NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM. IN A FINAL EFFORT, I REPLACED THE VACUUM BOOSTER WHICH ALSO DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. AFTER EACH OF THESE REPAIR EFFORTS THE BRAKES WERE BLED MANUALLY AND WITH THE "AUTO BLEED" FUNCTION OF A SCAN TOOL. NOTE THAT THERE ARE NO ABS, EBD OR ETC DIAGNOSTIC CODES PRESENT IN THE VEHICLES DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. I'VE COME TO REALIZE IS THE VAN IS BASICALLY "UNREPAIRABLE" BY MERE MORTALS. PERHAPS A KIA/HUNDAI VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM DESIGNER WITH ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD, FOLLOWING THE 143 PAGES OF BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS PRESENT IN THE 2006-2007 S

WHEN APPROACHING CROSS TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STATE HIGHWAY FROM A BUSINESS PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED, MY 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION (SUA) AND WAS UNABLE TO BE STOPPED ON DRY PAVEMENT. EVEN THOUGH THE FOOT BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED WITH AS MUCH FORCE AS POSSIBLE, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWED BUT STILL UNCONTROLLABLY MOVED INTO CROSS TRAFFIC WITHOUT MY OPPORTUNITY TO STOP AND PREPARE FOR CLEAR AND SAFE ENTRY ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE ONCOMING DRIVER FROM THE LEFT, ALTHOUGH NOT ABLE TO STOP WHILE SOUNDING HIS HORN, SWERVED TO THE LEFT AHEAD OF MY VEHICLE THEREBY AVOIDING A BROAD-SIDE COLLISION WITH MY VEHICLE. SPEED LIMIT ON THIS STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD WAS 45 MPH AND MY CAR WAS STILL MOVING STRAIGHT AHEAD AT A 'WALKING PACE' BUT STILL UNSTOPPABLE. MY CAR NARROWLY MISSED COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE THAT WAS PASSING IN FRONT OF ME TO AVOID THE BROAD-SIDE COLLISION. AFTER THE CAR PASSED IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE, I HAD MAYBE 12 FEET UNTIL HITTING THE GUARD RAIL UNLESS I TURNED SHARPLY LEFT WHICH I DID. ONCE HEADING LEFT ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE PROPER LANE, THE SUA ENDED ON IT OWN. THE ENTIRE EVENT WAS OVER IN JUST SECONDS. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO COLLISIONS AND NO INJURIES. NEVERTHELESS, THIS SUA REPRESENT A DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN WHICH WAS REPORTED TO HYUNDAI USA.

I FEEL THAT SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS A LOWER CONTROL ARM ON MY 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE SHOULDNT RUST AND BREAK INTO IN 11 YEARS WHEN THE BALL JOINT IS STILL IN GOOD SHAPE

WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN TO COMEBACK HYUNDAI TO REPAIR RECALLS 03/28/2018 THE CAR WAS PURCHASED 10/28/2008 FIRST OWNER AND I PURCHASED THE CAR 02/15/2018 I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR RECALLS 03/20/2018 HOWEVER THE DEALER GAVE ME A COMPLETE ON RECALL ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY NEVER DID THE WORK THEY INVOICED. I CALLED HYUNDAI HEAD QUARTERS BUT WAS TOLD ONLY THE FIRST BUYER IS COVERED. ASHLEY 09/19/2019 09:59AM 714-965-3828 I WAS TOLD IT WAS 10 YEARS FROM DATE OF FIRST PURCHASE NOT THE FIRST BUYER. ON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 15,2018 I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP BECAUSE THE LATCH THAT WAS TOLD THAT WAS FIXED WAS IN FACT NOT THEY THEN ADMITTED THERE ERROR THEN WAS TELLING ME THEY COULD NOT FIX MY CAR RIGHT THEN. I LOST TRUST IN THERE DEALERSHIP AND CALL THERE CORPORATE NUMBER 1-800-633-5151. HOW CAN I TRUST A MECHANICS WHO CLAIMS THEY FIXED SOMETHING WHEN IN FACT THEY DID NOT.

THE WHOLE SUSPENSION DROPPED AND WAS SITTING ON MY TIRE...I CHECKED WITH OUR LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEIR WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2014 AND SUPPOSEDLY WAS COATED WITH WAX? WELL THE WAX DID NOT WORK. THEY SHOULD OF REPLACED THIS THEN. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A VAN I CAN'T DRIVE. I WANT TO HAVE THIS FIXED ON HYUNDAI. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING FAST WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND KILLED MY FAMILY I'D BE ASKING FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THIS VAN IS DANGEROUS. I WILL HAVE TO TALK WITH MY LAWYER REGARDING THIS.

HOOD LATCH RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE HOOD FLEW UP AND SLAMMED AND SHATTERED THE WINDSHIELD WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S OFFICE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO CURRY HYUNDAI (3040 E MAIN ST, CORTLANDT MANOR, NY 10567, 914-930-3700) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER FOR A REPAIR AUTHORIZATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER, AND PROMISED TO FOLLOW-UP WITH THE CONTACT; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 101,000. *TT UPDATED 9/20/18*JB

I HAD FOR YOKOHAMA AVID ASCEND BLU EARTH TIRES INSTALLED AT MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP ON 5/21/2016. COST WAS NEARLY $1000 INSTALLED!! VEHICLE MILEAGE AT INSTALLATION WAS 171,500 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS BECOME A SECONDARY VEHICLE AND RARELY GETS USED. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 175,700 MILES (5/1/2018). OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS, ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE HAD INTERNAL BELT SEPARATION. ALL FOUR TIRES HAD THE SAME MANUFACTURING DATE OF 85D4015 STAMPED ON THEM. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES DUE TO THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY CONDITION. DISCOUNT TIRE CALLED YOKOHAMA TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION. YOKOHAMA DECLINED TO REPLACE TIRES FREE OF CHARGE EVEN THOUGH THESE TIRES WERE FAIRLY NEW WITH 80% TREAD REMAINING. THEY AGREED TO COVER 60% OF THE COST TO REPLACE THE FOUR TIRES. I PAID ROUGHLY $300 TO REPLACE THE FOUR TIRES. YOKOHAMA IS MANUFACTURING DEFECFTIVE TIRES AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT HAS DONE NOTHING TO ALTER THEIR DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ARE POSSIBLY KILLING PEOPLE IN THE PROCESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE EQUIPPED WITH YOKOHAMA TIRES, SIZE: 235/60/17 (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER TIRES EXHIBITED INTERNAL BELT SEPARATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL CERTIFIED YOKOHAMA DEALER (DISCOUNT TIRE, 2701 SW COLLEGE RD STE 800, OCALA, FL 34474) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TIRES HAD EXPERIENCED INTERNAL BELT SEPARATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND AGREED TO ASSIST WITH 60% OF THE COST FOR THE TIRES TO BE REPLACED. THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER TIRES WERE REPLACED AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE. THE TIRES WERE REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RECENTLY OCCURRING WITH THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER TIRES ALSO. THE SAME DEALER CONFIRMED THE FAILURE AS BEING DUE TO INTERNAL BELT SEPARATION. THE REPLACEMENT TIRES WERE ORDERED, BUT HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED. THE DOT NUMBER, VIN, TIRE LINE, VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE, AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OPENS ON ITS OWN. AFTER PARKING VEHICLE ON THE STREET OR IN MY GARAGE I WILL WATCH THE DOOR SHUT AND LATCH, AND LATER IT WILL BE OPEN. I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT IT CLOSED AND LATCHED AT NIGHT, AND IN THE MORNING IT WILL BE OPEN. IT HAS NEVER OPENED WHILE IN MOTION, BUT THIS IS A DEFINITE POSSIBILITY.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, LIGHTS DIM, RADIO GOES OUT , HEAT OR AC GOES OFF, WHILE DRIVING. HAVE COMPLAINED OUT OVER A YEAR AGO. HAVE HAD NEW ALTERNATOR PUT ON AND NEW WASHER PUMP. TIPS REPLACED, STOP SWITCH? REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI ENTOURAGE. THE CONTACT HAD RECEIVED A MANUFACTURERS RECALL ON THE CORROSION IN WHICH THEY COATED THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V556000 (SUSPENSION), THE DEALER PROVIDED COATING AS THE SOLUTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH CAUSED A FAILURE. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL ARM FRACTURING SHORTLY AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAS NOT YET BEEN REFERRED TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION AND INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED BY A DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON 4 TIMES. 1ST TIME REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. 2ND TIME PAID OVER $300 TO REPAIR. 3RD TIME WAS ABLE TO FIX ISSUE BY REMOVING ITEMS FROM UNDER SEATS. 4TH TIME LIGHT REMAINS ON CURRENTLY. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE MANY OTHER HYUNDAI OWNERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND SAFETY ISSUES SHOULD NOT HAVE AN EXTRA FEE! UNETHICAL!!!

WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 30 MPH (MOVING STRAIGHT; NOT TURNING) A NOISE WAS HEARD, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO DROP, AND BOTH STEERING AND BRAKES BECAME ERRATIC. THE VAN, STILL ACTING UP, MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT, WHERE A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL WELL INDICATED WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A BROKEN CONTROL ARM (SEE PHOTO). THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND LATE IN 2013 THERE WAS A RECALL (# 13V556000). VEHICLE OWNERS WERE ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AND INSPECTION AND EITHER RUSTPROOFING OR REPLACEMENT OF THE CONTROL ARMS. ON 1/20/14, THE VEHICLE UNDERWENT THIS PROCESS AND REPORTED "INSPECTED, WAXED, AND UNDERCOATED AS PER CAMPAIGN" (SEE EXCERPT FROM INVOICE). NO DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL ARMS WAS REPORTED BY THE DEALER'S SERVICE SHOP. HAD I BEEN INFORMED OF A DAMAGED PART DURING THE "INSPECTION", I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN TO REPLACE IT, AS THIS IS APPARENTLY VITAL TO KEEPING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS, I HAVE DONE A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT 65 OR 70 MPH, RATHER THAN AT THE 30 MPH IN THE CITY, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. A POLICE OFFICER SHOWED UP TO HELP AND TOOK DOWN MY NAME - I DO NOT KNOW IF A FORMAL REPORT WILL BE FILED..
