Description of the problem | Received a call ( not a notice via mail) on 1/26/21, from the carson city, nv. Hyundai dealership that there is a recall on my vehicle. Recall is on the abs brake system. The (hecu) hydraulic electronic control unit is defective, causing wires to corrode & cause a electrical short resulting in compartment engine fires. I was told that there is no solution to repair. I was told not to park my vehicle in my garage any longer because a fire could happen even if the vehicle is not running. They offered to buy my vehicle back @ blue book value. My vehicle is paid off & only has 29,000 miles on it & in excellent condition. I am at a loss to figure out what to do about this issue. I'm going to contact a lemon law attorney to see if i can get the full purchase price of the vehicle refunded to me & they can have the defective vehicle back . The dealership is trying to get me to trade in my vehicle for a new vehicle, which i do not want to do . The vehicle has always been parked in the garage & now is parked outside on the driveway because of the fire danger. I'm afraid to drive this vehicle. Help!!! |
