About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
While driving to work today on 1/21/2022 my vehicle was traveling at about 35 mile per hours when it suddenly began to slow and was unresponsive to my effort to maintain speed, and then several dashboard warning lights including the check engine light, charging system light, seatbelt light, and then the car began to have a loss of power and stalled. I did have my alternator and battery replaced in February of 2021 when this happened previously. Then I received a notice of NHTSA recall 20V705000 and had the remedy repaired completed in August 2022. I did attempt to have Hyundai USA reimburse me for my alternator repair and a previous repair I paid for related to the fault valve covers gaskets, but they refused my request for reimbursement. Now the problems and potential hazard remains. Thank you.

This vehicle has had multiple problems with the valve cover gasket since we purchased it. In 2015 we had the alternator and valve cover gasket replaced per the recall. The next year in 2016 we had to replace the alternator and valve cover gasket AGAIN, as the gasket was again leaking. In November of 2020 Hyundai admitted they were aware there was still problems with some gaskets, including with our car as we received a notice in the mail about a pending recall. In the last 7 months I have received 3 notices, but they all say that no repair has been implemented as of this time. This week we had to take our car in for the yearly required inspections in PA, and again our gasket is leaking. To pass inspection we had to replace it again, for the 3rd time. I called Hyundai and was told that I should have it done and submit my receipt for reimbursement because as of now there still is no fix. It is unimaginable to me that a company as big as Hyundai can be aware of a problem like this for more than 6 years and not come up with a permanent fix.
