When I back up, you cannot see what is behind you. April 2022 I was leaving my rehab building and got into my car in the parking lot and there was no one behind me. I got into the car and made several phone calls before I backed up. I always honk my horn and back up slowly because there is no clear visual of what is behind me. As I backed up my car was unable to move. I got out of the car and someone had come from the wrong way of the parking lot and parked their car behind my car and left it. About 5 minutes or more later the driver appeared and I asked why did she park her car behind my car with multiple parking spaces in the parking lot. I immediately called the police and took pictures all around the spaces and proof of multiple parking spaces and proof the car came in the wrong way

I was driving on the highway and was notified by passing motorists that there was smoke coming from my vehicle, I proceeded to pull to the shoulder and parked my vehicle. When parked, I noticed flames coming from the engine compartment and under the vehicle. I proceeded to get as far away from the car and that when the fire became enraged and fully engulfed my vehicle. The fire department arrived and distinguished the fire.
While this Recal has been announced since August, the Manufacturer and Dealerships have not fixed this issue nor do they have a projected date for a fix. In the mean time, they have stated that the vehicle could catch fire and should be parked outside away from structures. This has placed our family at risk, devalued our vehicle and has us considering purchasing another safer vehile putting our family in a financial strain. Furthermore, the only "fix" we are hearing about is to install a smaller value fuse that will not allow excessive current to ignite the leaking brake fluid. IN other words, they do not appear to bee fixing the rooot cause of the the issue: Leaking Brake Fluid! Leaking brake systems are a saftey concern of the highest magnitude, right up there with Tires and Steering. T
I am writing about the recall on the Hyundai vehicles that apparently are at risk for catching fire. Hyundai sent a letter that told us to park it away from our house and garage structures. We got this letter in early November and I called customer service as well as emailed to find out when we would hear about a fix. First of all, to get to a human being takes a minimum of 4 minutes. Then, they can’t tell me a darn thing. I found out from my first contact that we would hear something by the “end of the month.” That was in November. Well, November came and went and it has started to snow. No one wants to park outside nor do we care to have the house and car catch fire. I called and emailed again on December 2nd and the line was, “Well, we just don’t have a fix yet. Keep waiting.”
Locks, windows and hatchback all quick working correctly. You have to manually unlock all doors after you unlock driver door with the key. Only driver window button works, you have to open hatchback by climbing in the back to open with emergency latch behind interior panel. Key phob doesn't work at all with or with out a new battery.

My engine failed without any check engine lights prior. Started making a REALLY loud flapping noise when accelerating and would get worse the higher the RPM and the higher MPH. Even while coasting the noise was still prominent. It started around 12pm on 12/11/2021 and at 1:07pm (approximately 1 hour later) on the same day, it officially failed. The noise had started and gradually got worse while I was on the highway going approximately 65-70mph. I had stopped and pulled over shortly after it had started and made some calls to some certified Hyundai dealers to try and see what to do. I had made an appointment for first thing on Tuesday morning, 12/14/2021. I told them I would drop it off as soon as possible because I was sure it was going to blow. Tuesday appointment was the earliest appoin
Complete engine failure verified by my mechanic. Recent recall of the Hyundai models did not include the tucson and it should have. I feel this issue needs to be considered since it looks like I'm several of many out there with the same problem as the current class action suit against Hyundai. The tucson should be included. Date of malfunction 12/12/2020. Just driving down a country road and heard a pop noise and that was it. Had it towed.

When entering an attended automatic car wash, I placed the car in neutral, foot off the brake, as instructed by attendant. The car continued to move forward, slowly and tapped the car in front. They stopped the car wash and said the car had been in gear. However, it was in neutral. When they restarted the car wash, my car continued to creep forward, with my having to tap the brake repeatedly to maintain a safe distance from vehicle in front. Later that day I checked this on a level surface in a parking lot. When the car was placed in neutral with the engine running, and foot off the brake, it would creep forward at a slow walk speed. When it was in neutral with the engine turned off,and foot off brake, the car would not move. It appears that the transmission is engaging to some de
