Example complaints
Lane departure: ““Consider taking a break” pops up constantly, especially if you’re driving through construction and just in general. It’s distracting to have to ding at me every 5-10 minutes. It will turn down my audiobook on CarPlay and make me miss information ad well as impacting my GPS giving direction. It’s pointless, frustrating, and I can’t turn it off. It should be optional.”
NHTSA complaint #11691439, filed 2025-10Other or unknown: “I was driving down I-45 mid day on October 14th, 2025 going about 65-70MPH and out of no where I hear a loud gunshot like noise and about a minute or two later I heard my sunroof crack and glass fall in. I believe it is from nickel sulfide inclusions”
NHTSA complaint #11693502, filed 2025-10Engine: “After my recent software update Elantra N I have had issues with my n buttons on my stearing wheel will random default to factory setting and I have to go back into the settings to reset how I have it set. I also have been having my exhaust valve randomly open and stick open it doesn’t respond to drive modes and stays wide open I look in exhaust and confirmed it is stuck open. When it’s stuck the car will not pop or anything. In ordered for me to fix it I have to pull over and plug in a obd2 scanner that I had to go out of my way to purchase. …”
