Example complaints

Brakes: “I have noticed brake fluid leaking under the driver’s side engine area underneath my car for quite some time.

Please provide immediate response to repair this safety concern for Hyundai Azera owners.”

NHTSA complaint #11554490, filed 2023-11

Steering: “When I drove my wife's car yesterday, I noticed with the engine running that when you turn the steering wheel left or right, it clunked both times. This happened either stopped or when you were driving. This was not just annoying but also frightening and I am concerned that there is an issue with the steering failing. Online research has indicated that this is not an unusual problem with both Hyundai and kia vehicles.”

NHTSA complaint #11352593, filed 2020-09, 38,000 miles

Electrical system: “1. My car started by itself at least 5 times. When I went outside to turn it off it was already off! My remotes will not allow me to remotely turn off the car [ch]! On 1-19-2015, the car started unassisted again & the trunk lid popped open & up 3 feet! My controls only allow inch up! 2. After 1-8-2015, I discovered that my driver seat 2 position settings have been changed more than 6 times but not by me [ch]! 3. …”

NHTSA complaint #10854400, filed 2016-04, 200 miles

Engine: “After about 800 miles, my vehicle began making a loud clattering noise at start up. Now at approximately 15k miles, the vehicle has been returned to the purchasing dealer to rectify this problem several times. A Hyundai representative deemed this loud obtrusive noise normal. He stated it is a timing chain tensioner that is causing the noise. He also states the tensioner has to be primed during initial start up. I replied, if this is the case, why it took 800 miles for the noise to become audible? He repeated his statement by saying this is normal. …”
