Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The left and right front turn signals lamps burnt out at the same time, I then replaced both bulbs and they blew out again. On the third attempt only the left front lamp worked properly where as the side was still inoperable. I took the car to the dealer and they repaced the plug that the but bulb was attached to now I'm just waited to see if any other issues occur.”

“At night when head lights are on and blinker is used, when the blinker is put on or when the turn is completed and the blinker goes off, the headlights go off for 3-5 seconds. This has also happened when blinker is not used while driving all headlights went off for 3-5 seconds. It is more prevalent when blinker is used. It happened twice on my commute to work this morning. I put todays date on this complaint, but it has happened multiple times.”

“While driving at night or during day, multifunction switch that controls headlamps will, without interaction, flip the lights from auto to off. This leads to either the drls blinking like I have an emergency, or the headlamps turning off while I'm driving down an unlit highway at highway speeds. It's extremely dangerous and needs a recall...not a warranty extension. Particularly when the servicing dealers refuse to replace under said warranty because they cannot replicate the issue .”

“1. In a stationary position both incidents the left and right passenger door handles while opening the doors on different times once in 2019 the other 2020 completely came off. The first issue I went to service department at norm reeves Hyundai in california off of the 605 freeway where they glue it back together and not opening the inside of the door to remove the broken pieces that fell inside the door which you can hear each time I close the door for the right side back passenger door. …”

“When my headlights are in the auto position and I engage my turn signals my headlights will flicker and the lcd screen on my dash switches between auto and drl off which causes my lights to turn off for a couple seconds. This usually happens when I'm in motion and when the turning stalk is engaged, either fully or semi, or even sometimes when I just push up against the stalk without actually engaging the turn signal. This does not happen ever time, but it has happened on multiple occasions.”
