Consumer Description

THE CAR IS UNDER RECALL FOR ROD BEARINGS BUT THE HYUNDAI CORPORATION HAS NOT AUTHORIZED THE FIX. THE PAPER THAT I RECEIVED FROM HYUNDAI STATES WHAT THE FIX IS (KNOW SENSOR). IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE TO THE CAR BUT NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO PROCEED WITH THE KNOWN FIX. THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED IS DEC 2020. I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF INCIDENTS WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED WHEN DRIVING. WHEN I TAKE TO THE DEALER, THEY ALWAYS FIND AN UNRELATED PROBLEM WHICH TO ME SEEMS SUSPICIOUS. I DO NOT WHETHER TO SELL THE CAR OR KEEP WAITING FOR THE ALREADY KNOWN FIX. MY CAR HAS BEEN SERVICES AT MISSION HILLS, HYUNDAI.
