NHTSA complaint #11122670, filed 2018-08, 150,000 miles“I got a letter for a recall for underbody corrosion preventative care, however when I took to the dealer to get this done, the undercarrige/underbody was already too corroted/damaged and Hyundai is not willing to fix it, instead they are trying to offer me $4,800 which will not buy me a new SUV car. And this is due to a manufature deffect.”
NHTSA complaint #11000000, filed 2017-06, 200,000 miles“I have had to replace the control arm 3 times, (2/2013, 4/2014, 3/2015) and about to do it a 4th time (2019). It goes bad after about 20,000 miles and affects the alignment which causes the tires to wear incorrectly. Brand new tires are get worn down on the inside edge and is not visible. This causes a safety issue. My relatively new tire blew out on the highway and nearly caused a crash. I've spent $3000 in repairs and estimate another $1000 in tires that had to be replaced prematurely. I will fill one of these out for each of the incidents described above.”
