Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My vehicle has what appears to be a major alignment issue. When driving on almost any straight stretch of road the vehicle pulls/veers to the right. Dealer says this is as designed from Hyundai and that they have checked everything . I am baffled that any car can be designed to not drive straight. They claim all Hyundai vehicles are designed to pull to the right. One the test drive with the service manager, driving 50 - 60 MPH, my vehicle drifted 1 and a half lanes to the right on its own. Under acceleration it veered 3 lanes to the right. This was in a matter of 6 or 7 seconds. …”
NHTSA complaint #11362522, filed 2020-10, 5,000 miles“Less than 2 months into a brand new vehicle, the windshield cracked during a rainstorm on the highway along the line of the wipers. Nothing hit the windshield other than rain. The dealer is making us pay out of pocket for recalibration and tinting, despite the fact we have insurance. Safelite is replacing the windshield. It took 3 weeks to get the windshield. Also, the steering motor had to be replaced in less than 2 months.”
NHTSA complaint #11257246, filed 2019-09, 2,700 miles“On three separate occasions, when turning left, the steering wheel locked briefly at the 11pm position and there was a clunking noise. It released after a second or two. Obviously having steering lock is a severe safety issue. I have had it at Haselwood Hyundia in Bremerton, WA for a week and because they cannot reproduce the issue themselves, they are sending me home with the car unfixed. There were no warnings or other notifications and apparently no diagnostic codes.”
NHTSA complaint #11770153, filed 2026-10“I have only had this car for 1.5 years and about 6months ago I keep hearing a thump from rear suspension then the alignment started going off pulling to the right. Take it to tire kingdom to be aligned and they told me the shocks are leaking. Go to dealer and they took one week to say one shock is bad but part will take another week to get here I tried to get them to change both as the tsb I found 22-ss-001h but they refuse and will only change one. How can I get them to follow this tsb? …”
NHTSA complaint #11474295, filed 2022-07“I was in an accident on I95. The steering wheel locked causing me to hydroplane and hit ropes and car landed in the middle of 95. No airbags deployed during collision causing head to bump and back injuries. Police report is inaccurate. He asked me how fast I was going and I gave him the speed limit. I wasn't looking at my speed odometer my eyes were on the road. When I came to my self because I told him I hit my head. I distinctly remember the steering wheel locked before gliding. It happened so fast.”
