The car went into 'limp mode' after rpm fluxuation. It's in the shop.

Blake went on to say it has 2 power train issues (and needs a catalytic converter). NHTSA shows no recall, but whether engine or transmission, my daughter was nearly rear-ended due to this mechanical failure occurring on a two-lane highway at 55 mph. RE: Transmission (copied from…

Brake line corroded AFTER recall with treatment was done. Loss of brakes while driving on highway. Avoided collision but could've been highly fatal accident. Hyundai should've replaced a serious safety issue instead of covering it with a coating and hoping it holds. It is a XXX Car driven in [XXX]. I don't know if XXX reports matter but I think it should.

I was sold this car in July of 2025, and I was sold an extended warranty. I didn’t know about the recall, the recall caused engine failure so the warranty company refuses to pay for the new engine and Hyundai refuses to pay for the new engine even though the recall caused it and the dealership that sold it to me refuses to pay for the new engine even though they sold it to me with the open recall please help!
