Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When going around curves more than 35 MPH the car will start decelerating (as if it's braking on its own without me engaging the braking system)and the ESC light illuminates on dash. Also the exhaust makes a popping noise after engine is shut off which cause a powertrain issue because the vehicle is not accerrating properly. I personally know someone that has the same exact vehicle and that customer experiences the same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11128841, filed 2018-09, 129,000 miles“I have a consistent problem with shifting gears. This has been going on for a few years. I'll try to take off and it feels like it gets stuck between the lower gears. It causes the car and occupants to get jerked around strongly. A few times it has made it difficult to proceed through an intersection. Hyundai dealer states it is the speed sensors , but no longer covered under warranty.”
