Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After my ABS system was activated after sliding straight on snow and ice on a side road (my speed was less than 15 MPH prior to braking), I heard a grinding noise. Shortly afterward, I could smell burnt rubber. I investigated my front right tire and noticed that a huge groove was scraped into the sidewall of the tire (on the back side of the wheel). The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership and they confirmed that the coil spring had broken in two places and was tearing into the back side of my tire. It almost tore all the way through the sidewall of the tire. …”
NHTSA complaint #11065967, filed 2018-01, 49,864 miles“Recall has not been done on this vehicle. I can not keep car outside because in Florida it gets too hot. This problem of leaving it outside causes battery drain and effects the cars paint too. It is now seven months since recall notice. By having recall outstanding it prevents me from trading or selling car at fair value.”
NHTSA complaint #11581887, filed 2024-04“I was sent a Recall Notice back in October/November 2023 regarding the ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) Module. This is a very serious fire hazard. I called the dealership today and they reported that the remedy is still not available. This is unreasonably negligent. It has been 5/6 months. The starter and sensor wire harness are now damaged and need to be replaced. The dealership also does not keep the harness part in stock.”
NHTSA complaint #11580976, filed 2024-04“My emergency brake light was illuminated on my dashboard. As the light came on I was forced to press my brake pedal all the way down to come to a complete stop, which is very abnormal for my brakes as they’ve never malfunctioned that way before.”
NHTSA complaint #11568341, filed 2024-01“According to the recall letter that was mailed to me in October of 2023, it says IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL- Owners are advised to park their vehicles outside and away from structures until the recall remedy is completed. It says that the Anti Lock Brake System could leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short over time. This could lead to an engine compartment fire while parked or driving. As of today, April 6, 2024 there is no remedy for this recall. I have called the Hyundai dealer many times and asked for a solution. …”
