Original Comment I was told to contact Hyundai's reimbursement program which I did. I submitted info twice and was denied twice. It all started in 2019 when I received the first recall notice about an oil leak on the alternator, however, it said they were working on the remedy. In Jan. 2020 I had the valve cover gaskets replaced ($619). I received two additional notices (none were dated) again working on the remedy! In August 2021 I received a notice to bring the car in to the dealer which I did. They inspected it and ordered parts which would not be available until the end of 2021...maybe. They had no idea. <br /> <br /> On Oct. 8, 2021 my car wouldn't start and I needed a vehicle so I rented one($723) due to covid car rental was very expensive.<br /> <br /> On Oct. 11, 2021 I purchased a new battery though the original battery was purchased in Sept. 2019. ($154)<br /> <br /> On Oct. 15, 2021 battery had to be charged twice though it was new. I was told by a mechanic this was due to leaking valve cover. Alternator was replaced ($525). Mechanic said &quot;we replaced alternator, leaking valve cover sat in oil. Owner was going to take to dealer once they received the parts that were on order to have the valve cover replaced.<br /> <br /> Dealing with this debacle was overwhelming. To receive three notices of recall with no remedy, as they stated, was incredible. By the time they had the &quot;remedy&quot; it was in 2021 and dealers were unable to obtain parts. I did what had to be done so I would have a vehicle.<br /> <br /> The least they could do is reimburse me for the alternator. My request was denied twice because it apparently didn't follow their protocol. Two mechanics, one being from the Hyundai dealer I dealt with in Farmington, said it needed an alternator, yet the notifications said wait for the remedy!
