Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“This car had less than 40,000 miles when we purchased it in august, 2003. Since that time, both of the front door handles have broken from the outside, forcing the driver to open the car from the back doors. The cost of repair will be over $200.”

NHTSA complaint #10051098, filed 2003-12, 45,000 miles

“While driving consumer was locking the doors and it was discovered that the doors did not lock from the inside or the outside. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, and dealer could not determine why the doors will not lock.”

NHTSA complaint #10080175, filed 2004-06, 68,450 miles

“Have owned the 9195 Accent since 2000. Drivers window handle broke within 2 years, requiring replacement of window assembly. Outside and inside drivers door handles broke; making getting in and out the drivers door now impossible unless I pay $300 to have them both replaced as with the passenger side outside (which there is enough handle left to at least get in the car). I will not be buying another Accent in foreseeable future. Cheap quality all around.”

NHTSA complaint #10194067, filed 2007-06

“All 4 door handles are either broken or worn out not allowing access from outside the vehicle. Prior to vehicle purchase passenger's inside door handle was replaced by dealer using Hyundai manufactured parts. That handle broke also five months later.”

NHTSA complaint #10022781, filed 2003-06

“This is the second report filed on this car. Air bag light problem was looked at by mfg, it was cleared and not repaired and has re-occurred after approximately 6 months.”

NHTSA complaint #708031, filed 1999-06
