   My 2014 Santa Fe was scheduled for a Recall 251 ABS Brake Failure-Fire hazard.

I periodically would start the car and let it run to keep it from failing. I went…

I've had to get permission from my HOA every month to park in the parking lot. I call the dealership every month to see if there has been a solution. Sometimes I have to drive my grandchildren and two of them are in car seats. Sometimes I have to drive my dogs and they are restrained in safety harnesses. I am afraid to drive with…
