2015 Hyundai Tucson Cruise Control Problems

Financed for a 2015 Hyundai Tucson at Byrider. On February 25th 2023. Check engine light flashing as I'm losing power unable to stay within speed limit at 40mph. Byrider service asked me to bring it in. I did. They called me back and hour later told me to come get the vehicle and take it to Hyundai. I told them I didn't feel safe driving the vehicle it was hard enough getting the vehicle to them only able to drive 40mph on the interstate. I was told they would have it towed to Hyundai west off Pike plaza. They still haven't received the vehicle and I'm unable to reach Byrider service waiting for a return phone call. Please help what do I do now?..

RECEIVED 2 RECALL NOTICES TO HAVE THE ENGINE CONTROL SOFTWARE UPDATED WITH AN ANTI-KNOCK PREVENTION FEATURE. WE UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AT THE DEALER BEFORE THE SECOND LETTER FROM HYUNDAI WHICH NOTIFIED US THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL LIMIT ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND VEHICLE SPEED IF ACTUATED, AND THAT WE SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR SHOULD THIS OCCUR. THIS IS PERCEIVED TO BE A SALES GIMMICK FOR HYUNDAI THAT IS UNAVOIDABLE IF ACTUATED. THE HYUNDAI 1-800 HELP LINE COULD NOT ANSWER THE QUESTIONS REGARDING AN OPTION TO REMOVE THE SOFTWARE TO AVOID THIS EVENT, OR THE COST TO MAKE THE MANDATED REPAIRS WHEN THEY OCCUR. THEY ALSO PROMISED A 120,000 WARRANTY UPDATE NOTIFICATION THAT WAS NEVER SENT TO US PROMISED 3-5 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION. WE PERCEIVE THE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT COMMANDS YOUR VEHICLE INTO A LIMITING STATE. THE RECALL IS LABELLED: PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN NUMBER 953. 2015 HYUNDAI TIUCSON, A CAR WE OTHERWISE LOVE, AND A 3RD HYUNDAI IN 7 YEARS.

WHEN ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR LAGS OR STOPS AS IF I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL MANY TIMES I AM NEXT TO A VEHICLE AND CANN'T PULL BACK OVER ON ON COMING TRAFFIC HAS TO HARD STOP OR SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME. THIS OF COURSE PUTS ME AND ON COMING VEHICLES IN DANGER

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT HAVE PUT ME AT RISK BECAUSE OF AN ACCELERATION HESITATION. I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE TAKES MANY MOMENTS TO START MOVING. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT MORE THAN THREE TIMES, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WHEN THE CAR SEEMINGLY STALLED WHILE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. ALL CIRCUMSTANCES WERE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTING FROM A STOPPED OR NEAR STOPPED SITUATION.

I WAS WAITING TO TURN LEFT, AFTER CHECKING BOTH DIRECTIONS, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND COULD BARELY MOVE. AT THIS POINT I SAW A CAR HEADED TOWARD ME THAT I COULD NOT SEE DUE TO A CAR BEING PARKED ALONG SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, BUT MY TUCSON WOULD NOT MOVE. THIS RESULTED IN BEING T-BONED. VIN PHOTO INCLUDED I HAVE MORE PHOTOS AVAILABLE IF NEEDED
