This is recall 197. We have been waiting since 20 October 2021 for the dealer to get the part(s) to fix this issue. We have not driven the car since. We submitted a complaint to Hyundai via telephone on October 26 2021 and they gave us a case number 18905484, saying they would get in touch with us within 5 days. No one contacted us. So we called Hyundai again on November 15 and were told a case manager would call on November 16 from a prefix of 833. On November 16 the call came in with poor reception and the person told me she did not know when the parts would be in and offered to reimburse me for up to $50 a day for a rental car. She told me the conversation was being recorded. I declined the rental car offer. The dealer also called on November 16 and said they still did not know when the parts would arrive. On November 18 Hyundai called and said they were still trying to find parts. That is the last I have heard from anyone.

I need a new alternator and head gasket. I have a recall on my vehicle I have leaks on the alternator car shut off while driving and smoking from underneath the hood. It-??s un drivable to dangerous to drive. I was told by a Hyundai dealership in Jersey City on communipaw Avenue that my parts will be here 5-10 days so that can fix it. That-??s was in October 4,2021 it-??s going 2 months in December. They never called me back I keep calling them. The last time we spoke they said maybe December or January my part might be on a container truck. Which is ridiculous to have to wait all this time. I told them that is my only means of transportation I use for work in my family.

I have contacted Hyundai motors regarding the recall that was released November of 2020 because my car has became inoperable due to the recall. Oil has leaked into my alternator causing the charging symptom not to work so now the car won-??t start. I have tried to find a possible solution until the remedy is available. The recall has been released for over 7 months now. I am not able to financially afford the repairs on this car right now. They told me that I could pay to have the car repaired until the remedy is available. If I needed a loaner car from Hyundai until the remedy was available I would have to pay out of pocket for the expenses. I have not driven my car in about 2 months now due to the issue
