There is still not a remedy and we have been notified of this problem since November. Having to wait 6 months for a remedy and the chance that it might catch on fire is highly dangerous and scary! There is no reason that this should take so long. Can the manufacturer not do something about this.

- Pageland, SC, USA

The manufacturer has failed to provide a timely remedy for this problem NHTSA Recall Number 23V-651 (Hyundai Recall Number 251). I received the recall notice in September of 2023 and it is now March 2024. The manufacturer has been non-responsive when I have attempted to have questions answered or a timeline provided. I would like NHTSA to force a response or provide me with an alternative method of being reimbursed for this issue since the manufacturer does not appear interested in fixing it.

This complaint is made regarding Hyundai recall 251 concerning the ABS module. I am the original owner of a 2013 Hyundai Elantra automobile. As of 12 March 2024, Hyundai Motor America has not been responsive to my inquiries when a remedy will be available. I have made numerous inquiries to the Hyundai dealer where I purchased the car, and to Hyundai Motors America. I have been forced to park the vehicle outside of my garage though a Colorado winter for fear of a fire caused by the ABS module malfunction. Hyundai's lack of action is aggravating for the extra wintertime vehicle maintenance this has caused. More importantly, I am reluctant to park this vehicle near other parked cars and buildings, and, taking the recall warning seriously, I am also unable to park the vehicle in public areas such as underground parking garages.

I-??m having issues with braking and steering and I have made complaints to Hyundai and they have failed me they brush it off as though I need a new car but there are dangerous issues with this car. I also notified Hyundai Corporate Office on several occasions and a case manager by the name of Jose didn-??t help at all nothing was resolved he only left voice messages and nothing was done.

Nothing has happened yet but: The anti-lock brake system is faulty. Hyundai says the brake system could explode into flame either parked or when driving. We were told to park the car at a distance from other cars. My apartment complex has a nearly full parking lot. Wherever I park someone can park next to me. Hyundai also says it is safe to drive. It is unnerving to have this issue, when I drive the car, which I need to do, I just hope for the best. It was my retirement car and I can't afford another. A fix for anti-lock brake fire hazard issue has not happened yet, and the recall was announced November 1, 2023.

No incident yet! Having to park my car outside because of this recall in the rain. Always have parked in my garage. I want to know when this is going to be resolved. It-??s taking too long!!!

While driving my vehicle I began to notice the brake indicator light would flicker when I would have my foot on the brake.

Hyundai issued a recall related to brake fluid leaking onto an ABS module back on September 22, 2023 (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 23V651000). To this date, Hyundai has not offered a solution and the leaking is causing the brakes to not engage as they should. (I'm having to fill the brake fluid on a daily basis). In addition to the inconvenience, it adds an unnecessary expense of purchasing brake fluid. It seems that the issue is causing additional brake system issues and that the leaking is getting worse. (I pay for a car and expect it to work correctly. If there is a problem - which happens - the expectation is that the issue is resolved within a reasonable timeframe. 4 plus months for a braking issue IS NOT reasonable). The vehicle will not pass inspection until this issue is resolved. I am requesting that either Hyundai resolves the issue or offers reimbursement if we need to get the issue fixed ourselves. Thank you for your time!

Sep 22,2023 Manufacturer Recall Number251 NHTSA Recall Number23V651000 This recall was issued over 4 months ago and a remedy is still not available.

- Rochester, NY, USA

Due to the nature of the manufacturer's recall; (Hyundai Elantra 2013- Manufacturer Recall Number 251 "URGENT: FIRE RISK WHEN PARKED" & NHTSA Recall Number 23V651000) that has been issued to my car, I am now at risk and in danger, both physically and financially. This recall notice has made me aware that I can no longer park my car safely in my garage, nor in my driveway, without putting myself, my family and all neighbors residing in the surrounding houses at risk of causing a residual house fire. In addition, I fear for the safety of all innocent bystanders while driving this vehicle where other cars are present due to the fact that this potentially immanent electrical shortage may occur while parked or driving on the street. Since this issue has caused me to take these measures to protect myself and others, I have come to the realization that I must now look into selling and replacing my beloved car, however as stated above, the urgent recall notice that now exists on this vehicle will make it impossible to obtain a fair asking price from any potential buyers, leaving me unable to compensate for the financial investments I've made in regards to purchasing and maintaining this vehicle over the years. This issue now deems my car essentially worthless in its current state, and with no remedy available, I'm unable to sell this vehicle for any sum that's close to the fair market value that I deserve. Thus far, I have been fortunate enough to not experience any malfunctions that have led to a fire, BUT with a remedy not being available to solve this issue I'm left with the constant stress & fear that I may cause harm to myself or others by simply going about my daily tasks, and have no way to financially recover from the necessary purchase of a substitute vehicle that is required for me to get to work, tend to my family, and ultimately pay my bills. I hope I have made you aware how crucial it is this gets resolved promptly before substantial harm does come to me.

I received a recall for my Hyundai Elantra in November 2023 that still doesn't have a remedy. The recall recommends I park my car "outside and away from structures" because it is at risk of engine fire when driving or parked. I have been diligent in this recommendation as I don't want to cause possible harm to others. This has resulted in my car being parked outside (even when I have the option to park inside) and winter weather has caused issues with starting my car as well as maintaining it because of the increased exposure to the elements. I just called Hyundai this week and I continue to be told that there is no remedy at this time. So, I am reaching out to you for help because I'm not sure what is considered a "reasonable time" for a remedy to be produced but I hope that after 3 months there should be some solution to address the safety of myself and others.

I received the recall notice, with note to park outside the garage due to fire risk, more than two months ago. [XXX] ) The remedy is still not available. Parking outside is a major inconvenience as there isn't enough parking where I live and going anywhere after 6pm means there isn't parking on return. Not to mention the fire risk every moment the car is waiting for the remedy. Appreciate anything that can be done to put a fire under Hyundai's [XXX] to get this remedy available. I've been ready to bring the car in for the fix since receiving the notice before Thanksgiving. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I'm very concerned about a safety recalled that has not yet been addressed by Hyundai. Recall Campaign #251; NHTSA Recall #23V651000. I received notice of the safety issue, but the remedy is not yet available. I don't feel safe with the possibility of a fire until this issue is addressed. How long are vehicle owners expected to wait for a remedy?

- Milton, GA, USA

This recall was put into place September 2022, 4 months ago. Nothing has failed yet, but my ABS warning has come up multiple times while driving. I'm not sure if this indicator means the issue is getting worse or not. I got an oil change a few days ago and they stated that my brake fluid was low.

- Minneapolis, MN, USA

I feel as though this recall is taking too long to complete/remedy. I feel as though it has been an unreasonable amount of time from the date of the recall notice to now for a resolution. I am worried about damage to my vehicle over time.

Next week will be 4 months since Hyundai issued a recall on some Elantras, recall #251 (09/22/23). As of today, the fix is not yet available. For a serious safety issue (risk of engine compartment fire), this is totally unacceptable. When there was a recall for airbags on my 2009 Honda CRV several years ago, Honda kept the vehicle and paid for a rental car for about 6 weeks. Shouldn't Hyundai be forced by the NHTSA to do the same" What is my recourse"

- White Plains, NY, USA

I received notice about NHTSA Recall Number 23V-651 a few months ago. According to the Hyundai Recall website (their recall # is 251), the recall started September 22, 2023 and the status is "Incomplete. Remedy not yet available." I think over 3 months is long enough for Hyundai to be able to find a suitable remedy FOR A FIRE RISK. I would like to be able to have the recall completed and my car serviced for that issue ASAP. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Recall 251 not fixed or handled within a -??reasonable time-??. It-??s been two months. I work at an airport and cannot -??park away from structures-??. I also have called dealer and maker repeatedly stating I don-??t feel safe driving car that could catch fire parked or driving, with zero customer service solutions or concern for my safety.

- Rockwall, TX, USA

Hyundai's recall on the ABS module is unrealistic. The instructions advise to park the car away form any buildings/structures and not to drive it. It's been months since this recall was initiated and they still don't have a solution?
