i received a Manufacturer's Service Campaign 984 Notice from Hyundai. I made an appointment for a treatment of an underbody cavity wax and undercoating spray to prevent corrosion at King Hyundai in Deerfield Beach, FL, the closest dealer. When I arrived at the dealership I was informed that the correction could not be made because Hyundai did not supply Florida dealers with the needed products. I explained that the vehicle had been used for three years in the Washington DC area and then relocated to Florida. I called Hyundai Customer Car Center at 1-855-371-9460 and was advised that Hyundai did not supply the needed products to any state that did not experience winter weather; I believe she said that was a total of 16 states. As I received a recall notice at my Florida address, please explain why Hyundai is exempt from the recall issued in accordance with federal law.

My car's engine had damaged engine seals and was leaking oil. Also, when I accelerate it seems to be very forceful and the gears don't change well, they seem to be stuck. I had to take the front axle in for repair since something seemed to break. Also in the second or third year I had to take it under warranty since I had problems with the brakes and the sensor was damaged. The button to raise and lower the window does not work. El motor de mi auto se le dañaron los sellos del motor y estuvo liquidando aceite. Además, cuando acelero parece hacer mucha fuerza y no cambia los cambios bien parece estar estancados. El tren delantero lo tuve que llevar a reparar ya que perece se le rompió algo. También al segundo o tercer año tuve que llevarlo a la garantía ya que tuve problemas con los...

Defective paint chipping and/or pealing off in large chunks with wind when driving can cause to hit another vehicles windshield especially, the drivers behind that can cause temporary obstruction to the road.

On February 17, 2023, my vehicle was broken into and damaged because thieves tried to highjack the car using a now common method of the end of a USB cable in the ignition. The passenger rear window, the steering column, and the key ignition were all damaged, and I had my vehicle towed to a Hyundai dealership. Nearly all 2011-2021 Kia and Hyundai vehicles are made easy to operate without a key, to steal, and to vandalize. This security vulnerability has resulted in Kia and Hyundai owners paying for repairs (even with insurance, owners need to pay the deductible) and higher insurance premiums. Hyundai and Kia did not disclose this defect, which is a material fact, and a fact that a reasonable person would rely on when purchasing a vehicle, consequently making these vehicles easy to steal, unsafe, and worth less than they should be. The service writer at the...

Cars with Pearl White paint have large pieces of paint flaking off of both the hood and trunk, this is a common issue found with others.

Purchased my car from CarMax in February 2020 as a used vehicle with 30k miles on it and towards the end of 2020 around September I noticed my car paint was literally falling off in small chips and in November a huge chunk of paint fell off my the trunk part of my car. I went to the Hyundai center on Cassatt to see if it can be repaired by warranty and I was informed they couldn't do it but would file a good will claim on my behalf. I waited months for my claim to be processed and it was never done. I filed a complaint with Hyundai Corporate office and after waiting 3 months to hear from them they said they couldn't do anything. I discovered online that there was a lawsuit filed against Elantra for cars that had pearl white paint and it was thrown out. I...

2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED (I BOUGHT NEW-ONLY OWNER). COLOR IS PEARL WHITE AND THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF ON HOOD AND ROOF. THE CAR LOOKS TERRIBLE. I HAVE A 1996 MAZDA PROTEJE AND A 2005 HONDA CRV AND THEY BOTH LOOKS BETTER THAN MY 2015 HYUNDAI. VERY UPSET WITH HYUNDAI THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE PAINT.

PAINT IS PEELING, FIRST TIME WAS ON THE FRONT ROOF AND THE MOST RECENT WAS ON THE TOP OF THE DECKLID SEE PHOTO ATTACHED. LOCAL DEALER IS UNSURE IF IT FALLS UNDER WARRANTY SO I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A PAINTSHOP OUTSIDE THE DEALER TO GET IT REPAINT. THE PAINT REPAIR TECHNICIAN SAID THAT HAPPENS WHEN SHEETMETAL GETS CONTAMINATED PRIOR TO GETTING PAINTED. SEE PHOTO ATTACHED. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN PAINT PEELED OFF. IT STARTS LIKE A BLISTER THEN PEELS OFF.
