2011 Hyundai Veracruz Engine Problems

“Hyundai announced the following recall in november 2020. To date they have done nothing to remedy the problem. My vehicle had this problem and failed while driving on the freeway in 2016. I repaired the problem back then at my expense but my vehicle should be assessed by Hyundai and cleared or additional repairs made. I am waiting over 6 months for a remedy on a recall that was originally announced in 2014 and reissued in 2020 because of Hyundai's failure to adequately address the problem. …”
