“There's a reall on this vehicle that I just purchased the description says: front coil spring protector installation how can this issue be resolved? This issue should been taking care of and reported to you guys but obviously it hasn't. So I need to know is it still available to be free of charge or do I have to come out of pocket to get this repaired? Or can I still go to a hyandai dealer for free repairs? I'm not sure of the notification date. So in the box below I'll put this year and date”
NHTSA complaint #11317237, filed 2020-03, 15,400 miles“While braking normal to light pressure from 25-5mph on dry paved road, ABS system will turn on and greatly increase stopping distance. There has been more than one instance that I have not been able to stop before a stop light or stopped traffic. There are no ABS codes or ABS idiot lights on in the dash which indicate that anything is wrong. Safety is a large concern. Brought vehicle to dealer and no issue was found, without being requested to pay $1500+ for an entire new ABS. This was after they told me they couldn't find source to the problem. …”

About 4 years ago, the paint started oxidizing in multiple areas such as the hood & roof- initially in small areas, but has now spread to cover most of these areas.
