Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Engine just shuts off while driving. It becomes difficult to steer and control. I was barely able to move to the side of the street and the car behind me almost ran into me because of my loss of power. There are no warning lights and the radio, etc. All stayed on during this event. I had to put the car in park and restart the engine.”
NHTSA complaint #11210669, filed 2019-05, 150,350 miles“Power steering has failed while driving multiple times during the past 18 months. I have brought the car in for service at my local dealership for the same problem multiple times. The power steering has been replaced twice and the rack and pinion has been replaced but the problem persists. A fault code generated from the power steering failure but Hyundai mechanics and Hyundai corporate do not recognize the code. Unbelievable!”
NHTSA complaint #11121117, filed 2018-08, 70,000 miles“I missed my right hand turn that I usually make to exit my community, so I stopped and put the vehicle in reverse using the backup camera as a guide. I noticed that I was getting too close to the sidewalk curbing and I noticed a large tree not to far from the curbing, so I turned my body around to my right side to get a visual look. …”

NHTSA complaint #10610539, filed 2014-07, 32,000 miles“I was coming to a stop in traffic, the engine RPM was dropping, and wanted to change lanes. Upon accelerating I attempted to turn the steering wheel and I lost power steering, almost collided with other vehicles and was close to being hit by oncoming traffic. This has happened many times with this vehicle. I am speaking out now because I have seen NHTSA campaign number: 15v100000 and it sounds like what my vehicle does.”
