Example complaints

“When accelerating after stop car lunges and then starts to move, since bought it I have told dealership several times they say nothing wrong that how it is. Also tires have all fell apart or went flat and have wire showing on inside . I feel this is safety concern and when buying a new car tires should last longer than 1 year I should not acceleration problems either.I have some picture”
NHTSA complaint #11317599, filed 2020-03, 41,250 miles“Some whistling noise is coming from the left front wheel, my vehicle is brand new and I found the issue when the mileage is at 17 and when I was driving at freeway at speed 45 MPH or higher.”
NHTSA complaint #11142551, filed 2018-10, 15 miles“I purchased a new Hyundai Elantra 2018 with the original tires, hankook ventus s1 noble 2. The tires are balanced, rotated, and aligned every 5,000 miles. I noticed the sidewalls have severe cracks on all 4 tires. I feel this is a huge defect and in no way normal wear and tear. I also believe it is also a huge safety issue. I took the car back to the Hyundai dealership where it was purchased and was told they couldn't do anything as the tires are not under warranty. I also called the Hyundai complaint department and was told the same thing. …”
NHTSA complaint #11297248, filed 2020-01, 30,000 miles“Was not given the opportunity to test drive on the highway upon purchase. When I took the vehicle home and got it up to highway speeds the vehicle floats, or sways left and right like its out of alignment. Hyundai has told me unfortunately that is just the way the vehicle rides, this is not acceptable because I feel that is a safety issue. If you add wind in the equation it is a constant fight the keep the vehicle straight or in its lane. Drove 650 miles plus to get this resolved and no resolution has been met. …”
NHTSA complaint #11102189, filed 2018-06, 25 miles“The low tire pressure warning lights came on as I was driving down the highway and my tire pressure was displayed as 14 PSI on my back left tire. I pulled over and looked at the tire and it didn't seem low. I plugged my portable tire air pump in and attached it to the tire, and the gauge on the pump said 36psi, which is what it is supposed to be at. I got back in my car and started driving, and the car said the PSI was back to 36psi. Sounds like this is a common problem and Hyundai needs to address it. I even took picture of the warning when it came on for proof.”
