Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“For more than two years I have been complaining to my dc-area Hyundai dealership that my car is burning or leaking oil but they failed to diagnose problem, apparently to avoid fixing it under the warranty. It is extremely dangerous for me to drive my vehicle but Hyundai will not honor its much hyped warranty and fix my car and even the district office insists that I keep driving it for its third and *unnecessary* oil consumption test. …”
NHTSA complaint #10150642, filed 2006-02, 73,250 miles“I have a Hyundai Accent 2000 3 door hatchback in may had to have the entire fuel system flushed out $500 called Hyundai before I repaired said that item was not part of a current campaign for my VIN number however similar problems have been reported by numerous parties. …”
NHTSA complaint #10131973, filed 2005-08, 39,400 miles“We were driving the vehicle along and all of a sudden, with no warning lights or anything, the vehicle died. When we opened the hood, antifreeze had sprayed everywhere. We had it towed to a local dealer as requested by the warranty company. It took weeks for the warranty rep to inspect the vehicle. There was also a crack in the top of the radiator. The shop first told us that we caused the crack by being involved in a collision - which never took place. The warranty company wanted a tear down of the engine (which we ended up having to pay for) and decided to deny our claim. …”
NHTSA complaint #10097952, filed 2004-10, 78,000 miles“Junk! Just over the 60,000 mile warranty and just about everything you can imagine went wrong. The gas gauge does not work. The exhaust broke apart on the flex pipe. It's all one piece and costs $850 just for parts. One out of two o2 sensors are bad at $200 a pop! Front wheel bearings went; one seized up and one was wobbling loose at $200 each. Front and rear brakes both went at once, rotors and all. Alternator also went bad which lead to new battery. Gas mileage went down to 28 mpg. Everything has been maintained on a regular basis and I'm still losing gas mileage. …”
NHTSA complaint #10144528, filed 2005-12, 61,000 miles“The contact stated while driving at various speeds on the highway, the engine stalled without warning and there was a loss of all power. After a short while, the engine restarted. The dealer and manufacturer were alerted but the vehicle was not inspected. Updated 10/25/2006 -”
