NHTSA Complaint #11231361 — 2014 HYUNDAI EQUUS

TAKATA RECALL. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 48000 MILES. 1) WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, BRAKE SELF APPLIES FORCEFULLY AT TIMES WHEN PASSING OR BEING PASSED BY OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ADJACENT LANES ON BOTH SIDES, ALMOST CREATING REAR-END COLLISIONS ON A FEW OCCASIONS. 2) WHEN RESETTING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO THE PREVIOUS SETTING, IT CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE PAST PREVIOUS SETTING (OVER 100 MPH) UNTIL BEING MANUALLY DISENGAGED. 3) AT TIMES, AT HIGHWAY OR LOCAL SPEED, THE ENGINE WOULD CUT OFF BRIEFLY WHILE SHOWING A QUICKLY FLASHED MESSAGE, THEN ENGINE WOULD POWER-UP AGAIN A FEW SECONDS LATER FOR NORMAL DRIVING. 4) TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ADVISED THAT MOISTURE INSIDE THE RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT HOUSING WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGED AND ACCORDING TO MANY MECHANICS I HAVE CONSULTED, THE FISSURE ON TAIL LIGHT HOUSING IS PROBABLY DUE TO POOR WORKMANSHIP FROM THE FACTORY. DEALER COST FOR THIS REPAIR, $1800.00. THE DASHBOARD COVER IS LIFTING OFF (GETTING UNGLUED) FROM ITS BASE DUE TO THE FLORIDA HEAT. COST FOR REPAIR, MORE THAN $4,000. DUE TO THE INCESSANT NUMBER OF DAILY ROBOCALLS, PLEASE CONTACT BY PHONE TEXT OR EMAIL. THANK YOU
