Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The rear brake lights keep blowing out every month! Since there's no indications on the instrument cluster that my rear brake lights are out, the police and fellow drivers are the ones to tell me the lights are out. Not safe when both brake lights are out!”
NHTSA complaint #11404728, filed 2021-03, 105,000 miles“The check engine light came on. We had someone get the code which is p0711. Why is there not a recall for the transmission temp sensor if this problem continues to happen to many many people. This is going to cost me $500-1000. This should be Hyundai's bill to pay.”
NHTSA complaint #11244780, filed 2019-08, 59,000 miles“In the last year the mpg has dropped drastically. When purchased in 2011 (Elantra limited), I got 35 mpg. In the last month, I'm getting 16.9-20.9 mpg. My car has been in for the scheduled recalls, but nothing was detected. I called the dealership and they said that they were not notified of any such problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10907592, filed 2016-09, 70,000 miles“While I was driving, the car stalled. The tach reading droped to zero, and engine light was on. I tried restarting my car. I could drive slowly, but the engine light was still on, and the tach reading was still zero. This happened for a few times --- when I drove on highway, on a local street, and when I waited for a long light. If starting after a long enough rest, those symptoms might disappear temporarily.”
NHTSA complaint #10995707, filed 2017-06, 47,440 miles“My car has making noise for a while. Emailed Hyundai and was told it is not under warranty and no recall for engine. Several complaints ha e been made online for this car regarding the engine which needs to be replaced. I'm afraid to drive it's my only car and I can't afford to pay $5000 for a new engine. I was stuck in the middle of a busy intersection when the car stalled and sounded like it was going to grind the engine up.”
