Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have a problem with the car having trouble when taking off. It hesitates as I'm taking off some of the time. I would say about half the time. I just got a tune up because I only have had this SUV about 3 months. But still acts up. No dashboard lights on either. Everything else has been great.”
NHTSA complaint #11229696, filed 2019-07, 90,000 miles“Low beam headlights are so poor I feel I cannot safely see to drive. Have checked alignment and they are just very poorly designed according to dealer. Cannot see adequate distance to stop safely on low beams at reasonable speeds. So bad I seldom ever drive at night and never on the highway.”
NHTSA complaint #11005874, filed 2017-07, 25,000 miles“Abs, downhill, and traction control indicator lights illuminate on the dash. Hyundai dealer says a rear wheel bearing/wheel speed sensor is failing and needs to be replaced. They said they've seen this many times and when looking online these seem destined to fail on my hyndai Santa Fe's 3-6 years into the vehicle life. There is a TSB for this issue that says it relates to sea water, but it may just be any water/wet conditions. I believe a recall is needed for this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11398670, filed 2021-03, 65,000 miles“I just bought this vehicle two weeks ago and I purchased the carfax to find out that the liftgate has electrical promblems. The display behind the steering wheel keeps indicating that the liftgate is open, but I can see that it's closed.”
NHTSA complaint #11288799, filed 2019-12, 53,000 miles“The backup camera isn't working half the time. Sometimes I get a blue screen, sometimes I get the picture with a lot of lines in it, making it nearly impossible to see anything. It started on 7/18/18 and continues to be a problem.”
