“FAULTY REARVIEW CAMERA My 2022 Hyundai Elantra sedan rearview camera fails to display clear image or displays no image when shift gear is in reverse position. 2021 and 2022 Hyundai Elantra sedan models were recalled - Recall #271. I need my vehicle repaired but have been told by Hyundai Corporate that my vehicle is not eligible. That is why I am filing this complaint.”
NHTSA complaint #11646783, filed 2025-03“Dealer has been unable to repair the recall associated with my car. I’ve been waiting for half a year for it to be repaired and dealer claims they don’t have the part available for it to be repaired. This shouldn’t take that much time.”
NHTSA complaint #11485871, filed 2022-09“I was sent a letter in July regarding the current recall for the safety belt pretensioner and how it may deploy in a faulty manner and injure passengers. I received another letter today that Hyundai is preparing to implement the safety recall remedy. It has now been almost two months and there is still no concrete plan being reported to me. I think this is an unreasonable amount of time to be waiting for a remedy to a safety problem while I drive a car that could be potentially dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #11486127, filed 2022-09“I was advised of the current recall on my new 22 Elantra. I took my vehicle to the Hyundai dealership where it was purchased (Cookeville) from a mere few months ago. I advised I needed the recall on the seat belts fixed. I was then told that they wouldn't be able to fix this recall for awhile (over a month) because they needed to fix the cars currently on the lot. THE UNSOLD CARS THAT ARE JUST SITTING THERE. Not only is this reckless, it shows a complete disregard to my safety and others that may be in the vehicle or near it if something were to happen while being driven. …”
NHTSA complaint #11470249, filed 2022-06“Teenage daughter was in seat belt. Laid over a little when she sat back up the seat belt tighten around her waist and would not release. When tried to pull down from top it continue to tighten and lock around abdomen. With every small move it locked up more until there was no choice but you cut the belt because it was cutting off circulation.”
