Example complaints

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

“Vehicle only had about 2000 miles when it first did this. Dash display malfunction. When backing up display is blacked out. You can't see any video from back up camera. Also display goes out while driving. Gave video evidence to dealer so they know I'm not crazy. Sometimes you turn car off and lock the car and the display is still playing. Dealer could get this issue to recreate while in there possession for four tries later is still does not work. This is even after a final repair was offered by the dealer which consisted of a total dash replacement the manager said cost Hyundai over $5000.”
