Example complaints

Electrical system: “I was driving on the highway, got a flat tire. The second my tire popped. I started getting a few lights on my dashboard abs, forward safety light, limited differential light, blind spot light, rear cross traffic light. Worst of them all is a red steering wheel light which makes the vehicle difficult to steer. This is a new car with under 20k miles and it’s a lease. After the tire was replaced the lights are still on and the car is still non drivable.”

NHTSA complaint #11580560, filed 2024-04

Transmission and drivetrain: “Complete and sudden clutch failure and unable to shift into any gear. No clutch slippage or change in engage point/clutch burning smell. Was traveling at relatively low speed (35mph). Dealership tried to get me to tell my insurance company it was due to water damage and then quoted me almost $7,000 to replace the clutch.”

NHTSA complaint #11763653, filed 2026-09

Engine: “Fuel injector randomly went out, I dont have the HPFP recall done on my car. Caused a massive amount of power loss while I was going down the road. Now hyundai wants to pretend like the HPFP had nothing to do with this. I keep being told its an emission part and isnt covered under powertrain warranty. Recall in question is Extension Z04 (TSB 25-FL-002H).”

NHTSA complaint #11741524, filed 2026-06

Fuel system: “I had the recall completed for my Fuel Pump. The fuel pump is still not functioning properly as sometimes it does still struggle to start as sometimes it will turn over and take 5-7 seconds to start the car.”
