Applying the brakes and they don’t engage abs. Couldn’t come to a stop at very slow speed. They jammed up. And the dash lights don’t illuminate. Very similar to recall 188 Thanks

I was driving and I felt my car sputter and lunge forward slightly. Then my car lost power and when I pressed down on the accelerator it would not give out any power. The battery light came on and the car would not start after pulling over.

Over two weeks ago, I contacted Rick Case Hyundai in Plantation, FL, via the web and tried to schedule a recall service. The website came back stating there was no recall for my VIN. I went to the NHTSA website and put in my VIN, and it stated there was one recall for that VIN. I am not sure which website is wrong, but since then, all Rick Case has been interested in is selling me a car. The service department completely ignored my inquiry, and the sales department has been responding ever since. On top of that, they have been blatantly ignoring my emails in their attempt to sell me a car. This is not my industry, so I will not speculate who could be wrong. I am saying that someone should have reached out to me and at least tried to help instead of sending me emails to help me buy a new car. I have several screenshots that I have attached.

I then placed the car back in drive and went home . Then car still was accelerating uncontrollably so I kept my hand over the emergency brake for emergency use if needed . Upon arriving home the engine light came on

NHTSA Recall Number20V061000 Recall has not been fixed by the local dealer in Ocala Florida. I scheduled to come in and have this addressed and sat in the lobby for hours before being told I would receive a call to come back when the parts were in stock. It has been since September 9, 2021 that I made my appointment to address open recalls.

ABS and BREAK lights have come on 2007 HYUNDAI ELANTRA that my daughter is driving. The local technician informed me that Hyundai vehicles have problems with ABS module breaking down and that there is a risk of catching fire. He suggested that I should contact NHTSA and Hyundai immediately for the recall and replacement of ABS module. While I have been parking the car outside my house away from structures until the recall repair is authorized and complete, I am afraid for my daughter to drive the vehicle.

Problem is associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V061000. This is for the ABS braking system catching fire. The recall partially addressed the issue, but not fully. The manufacturer installed a fix that addresses the issue while the car is turned off, however the problem still exists while the vehicle is powered on. Shortly after starting the vehicle and driving approximately 3 miles, smoke started billowing out from under the hood and side of the car. The ABS light came on at the same time. The braking function was impaired and sporadic. The vehicle was stopped, turned off and the smoking subsided. After about 15 minutes the vehicle was able to make it back to the owners residence, but the ABS light remained on. Later, the ABS pump was removed, revealing a hole burned in the back of the unit. Repairs were performed by the owner, consisting of replacing the ABS pump with a salvage part, replacing two ABS fuses and bleeding the brake system. After repairs the warning lights are off and the vehicle performs as normal. No inspections have been done by any mechanics or others. The vehicle easily could have caught fire and lead to an accident had the issue occurred outside a residential area traveling at higher speed.

The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the wheel support fractured.

I felt as if I couldn’t control the car on the road, making a noise especially when hit the slightest bump. I had someone follow me to repair station to drop off the car. The mechanic said there was a lot of rust on frame crossbars, one place totally broke off. He said to check with Hyundai about the rust of the frame and not to drive the car. It is frightening to know that the frame parts rusted and broke like that. I have never had that happen to a car before. It is not safe to drive and when I called Hyundai they said there were no recalls with rust and frame breakage in my car. Other Hyundai’s were recalled for this very thing, I’m confused why mine has not been recalled for this safety issue.
