While driving one evening, it was brought to my attention that my passenger brake light was remaining on, when I was not braking. A week later, both sides are on. This happens only if my headlights are on - automatically or if I manually turn my headlights on. The back center light will only come on when I high the brake pedals. Again, back brake lights on driver and passenger side remain on regardless of brake pedal is engaged.

Four Weeks ago, I called Henderson Hyundai,702-565-1500, concerning a fire hazard for my car that the Hyundai Company said would start on fire because of corroded brake lines. I was told before that this would be taken care of at my next oil change, today, 2-22-2022. The service rep said this didn't apply to my 2020 Tucson. I told him that my car met their recall instructions. The dealership refused to fix the potential fire hazard. I want to go on record that I attempted to resolve the issue and the dealer said no. I put my car in the garage and don't want my house to burn down.

Per the NHTSA recall 20V-543, the Tucson has a recall for possible brake fires since Sept 2020. As of March 2021 no dealer in the area yet has parts to perform the recall service. Hyundai is taking an excessive amount of time to remedy the fire hazard.

I was notified in September of 2020 that there was a recall to install a fuse kit into the ABS module electrical circuit and update the ABS software on my vehicle. It is now March 2021 and Hyundai still does not have the parts to correct this problem. Since this is a fire hazard, I see this as an issue that they need to promptly correct. 6 months is too long to be waiting when they know there is a problem.

Recall 20-01-040H - I've been trying to get this part since July of 2020, this is a safety recall and I finally went to stew hansen Hyundai in des moines Iowa on 12/29/2020 and they ordered it for the auto officially. I had been on a list for when it came in to get it fixed. For this being a safety recall this is absolutely ridiculous that I can't get this fixed. This is a complaint not a vehicle issue. Hyundai's handing of this recall is lackluster at best. I don't feel enough if being done to get this taken care of.

Received a recall notice from Hyundai with an obvious sense of urgency instructing me to schedule a repair asap!!! that was November 2020. This recall affects the ABS system of my new vehicle. Today is January 8, 2021 and still no fix and according to dealership, they have no idea when this will happen!!! no parts from Hyundai available. Very concerning and frightening to drive this car due to fire hazard. In addition, the recall letter instructs that I should not park the car inside or near a structure. I live in hudson valley, New York and we are in the middle of winter here. I now sit with an empty two-car garage and have had to dig my car out of snow, scrape it from ice, and put air in the tires because of cold temperatures. This is unacceptable customer service by Hyundai, putting drivers in this potentially dangerous situation. \my dealership has me at #61 on their recall list with no idea of when the repairs will be done. This could take a few months, in their opinion. I

Service recall 195 for ABS system and potential fire hazard. Hyundai says not to drive because of safety risk and that parts are not available nationwide. Apparently this is only for existing cars if you buy new they will fix the problem and have parts available immediately. How is that possible?

My 2020 Hyundai Tucson was purchased new this year from West herr Hyundai I'm williamsville NY. I was notified of a vehicle safety recall related to ABS issues in September 2020. I have contacted the dealer every week sense then, and they claim they are unable to compete the recall due to a lack of parts. I believe the dealer is negligent in addressing this issue and I would appreciate help getting this safety issue remedied.

Received recall 195 notice pertaining to electrical short in ABS system and that vehicle should not be parked in garage or near any structures do to potential fire. Went to dealer for inspection, was told that part would be in and replaced in a week to ten days. Three weeks later I now have been told that hyundaii does not have the part available. Was told part may not be available until the first quarter of 2021. This is huge dangerous recall! I do not feel safe in this car but I am stuck paying for a defective vehicle. I only have 2,100 miles on this car. It is inexcusable that Hyundai does not have this recall part. Meanwhile I have to keep paying for this dangerous brand new car monthly. I understand recalls unfortunately happen but this corporation should have the replacement parts available.

Received safety recall November 11, 2020. Called to schedule repair and told part was back ordered would be in the next week. Called following week also told would be longer as the part was back ordered. The recall says not to park car in a garage and beware of light on dash as it may cause a fire. I am 76 years old and now cannot drive my car. I am paying for a new car that I cannot drive. Dealers are putting repair parts into cars on the lot letting people like my self wait. So today November 27 I called Hyundai customer service 800-633-5151 and the person said she could get be a case manager in 3-5 business days. I live in denver where it snows. I bought this new car August 31 because it has all wheel drive. Now it has been sitting in my driveway for 17 days. I am making payments. - arapahoe Hyundai just says it is ok to drive even though I received this safety notice. - 800 customer service says she really has no connection to Hyundai or anyone she can speak to directly. - I am 76 years old and have no car. - dealer says he has a call into Hyundai to approve a loner. - mcdonald Hyundai says they put repairs on cars in lot first.

Received the safety recall letter about the anti lock brake system. I called Hyundai left voice message. Called today again and was told that they do not have the part to get the car fixed. Told me to call again in one month. Due to the importance of the break system, I think this is something that cannot wait. Im afraid of driving my car and have the risk of the breaks not working since I wont put my family's life in risk.

I was informed of a recall for the ABS system for my Hyundai Tucson 2020. I was directed to their website to schedule an appointment for service, which I scheduled at Hyundai of long island city in New York. Once I arrived at my scheduled time for this specific issue and after waiting 30 minutes to even speak with a service representative, I was told there is a backorder of the required parts to fix this issue and it might be another 2-3 weeks. I was told I need to call them to check in to see if parts are in. I find it unacceptable that I was allowed to make an appointment for an urgent issue, only to be told it can't be fixed. I should not have to call back several times in the following weeks to keep asking if their parts are in. I also asked for a loaner vehicle and they said they don't have any. I find the handling of this important safety recall to be negligent and is putting me at further risk while I wait for the required safety repairs. I have attached a photo of the recall notice I received in the mail. As well as screenshots of the online scheduling service.

I am unable to safely drive my new 2020 Hyundai Tucson purchased July 12, 2020, due to a dangerous recall. There is no solution at this time and if the ABS light comes on, I am advised to pull over, disconnect the battery and have it towed to the dealership. Also, do not park the car indoors. I was planning on taking some road trips; that is why I purchased the car. Hyundai advised me not to take a road trip due to the problem. I thought they might give me a loaner till the situation was resolved but customer service said "only if the ABS light comes on". I also note that they have discontinued their ads for the Tucson and are stating that the kona and/or Santa Fe models are more reliable and safe. So, here I am without a safe, reliable car and Hyundai will not do anything to help me. What can be done?
