You believe this may be related to a known ABS recall that hasn't been performed on your vehicle. You're concerned the dealership isn't properly investigating the incident and may be attempting to conceal it.

Your Hyundai is subject to recall 251, which addresses a potential fire risk. You were notified that a fix was available and scheduled an appointment, but when you dropped off your car, the dealership discovered the repair parts still weren't in stock and couldn't provide a timeline for availability. The recall has been pending for months without resolution, leaving you and your passengers at potential risk. Hyundai needs to improve communication between the manufacturer, dealerships, and owners to prevent false repair notifications and complete this safety fix promptly.

Your speedometer became erratic once, and your cruise control, trip odometer, and possibly your main odometer have stopped working properly. You were initially told by Hyundai customer service that this would be covered under a service bulletin at no cost, but later received an email saying there's no service bulletin and it's not covered by warranty. The dealer estimates it will cost $200 to diagnose and $700–$800 to repair, and mentions it could be one of two different switches causing the problem. The fix will likely involve replacing or repairing the instrument cluster switch or related electrical components.

The owner is frustrated that an unspecified problem with their vehicle has persisted for an extended period without resolution. Unfortunately, the complaint does not describe the actual issue affecting the car, making it impossible to provide specific guidance on what may need repair.

Your brake warning light came on while driving, and when you tried to back up, the brake pedal went almost to the floor. You discovered brake fluid leaking under the car—the front brake lines had corroded and failed, leaving your vehicle without functional brakes. Your mechanic found that the front brake lines weren't coated to resist corrosion like the rear lines were, and noted that Hyundai no longer manufactures replacement front brake lines for your vehicle.

You've been notified of a potential fire risk related to your brake system, but no fix has been provided yet. The uncertainty about when this issue might occur makes driving the vehicle concerning. You may want to contact your dealer or Hyundai to inquire about the status of a remedy or potential recall for this defect.

Your daughter discovered black smoke coming from inside the vehicle when trying to open the driver's side door, which wouldn't open. The driver's side seat, door panel, and headliner were burned.

Your 2011 Tucson is subject to recall #251, which involves electrical and brake system issues. The dealership's proposed fix involves changing a fuse to a lower wattage to disable the ABS system and prevent brake fluid leaks, but you believe this creates safety problems rather than solving them and doesn't comply with federal recall requirements. The repair may involve fuse replacement and ABS system modifications.

While driving at 45-50 MPH, you noticed smoke coming from under the hood on the passenger's side. You pulled over and discovered fire underneath the vehicle, which quickly spread until the car was completely engulfed in flames.

The fire may be related to an electrical or brake system issue that requires immediate inspection and repair by a qualified technician.

Your fuel pump failed after only 40,000 miles—far shorter than the typical 100,000-200,000 mile lifespan—leaving your car unable to start. The dealer initially misdiagnosed the problem as a faulty starter, costing you unnecessary repairs, before eventually determining the fuel pump had an intermittent electrical short. You're concerned about whether the pump was defective, installed incorrectly, or damaged by faulty wiring, and you question the dealer's diagnostic accuracy and service reliability. Fixing this will likely require fuel pump replacement and inspection of the fuel system wiring and connections.

You want guidance on other options to get this recall remedy completed.
