Example complaints

Engine: “I was driving on a highway when my vehicle stalled nearly causing a major accident. There was no warning, engine light or issues with the car starting or driving. No issues with idling or anything to suggest I needed service. The dealer is saying it is excess carbon on the throttle body. It appears Hyundai has had issues with this that have not been addressed.”

NHTSA complaint #11174359, filed 2019-02, 2 miles

Vehicle speed control: “Car began to accelerate after starting and put into gear. I didn't touch the accelerator pedal, nor was the floor mat touching the pedal. I had to put the car in neutral and shut it off. After shutting off and restarting, it did this 3 more times. It accelerated while still in park, almost to 3000 RPM before I shut it off. Fourth time, it restarted without any problems.”

NHTSA complaint #11222199, filed 2019-06, 48,000 miles

Electrical system: “Car engine shuts off/stops running, without warning, while driving. Has happened 3 times in the past 12 months. At slower speed, in town, coming to a stop or slowing for a turn. Car starts back up right away, and won't stop again for a long time. Also can't make it stop on purpose.”

NHTSA complaint #11256395, filed 2019-09, 65,000 miles

Brakes: “All my dash lites came on dealership said the HECU unit was bad not under recall the coup is but the 4 door isn’t I’ve been waiting a month for part on backorder can’t drive my car too dangerous brakes may not work if my sedan is not under recall then why are the parts on backorder with no ETA car not safe to drive yet can’t get fixed”
