Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Takata recall the vehicle is always stationary when I am unable to put it in drive from the park position. I am unable to put my driver's side window up, the interior lights went out, my tail/brake/turn signal all went out the same day. All fuses have been checked, they are fine. The car was sitting in my driveway overnight and the next morning I went to turn the wipers on to clean the window of bird poop and they wouldn't work followed by the clock saying 1:01 and it was around 8:30am. …”
NHTSA complaint #11243917, filed 2019-08, 68,000 miles“The windshield washer on this vehicle is an important safety feature. The water to the windshield washer does not flow from the water pump, which is functioning. I believe this is happening on more vehicles than just mine. I believe it is a manufactures defect. The water pump on the windshield wiper is not failing. What is failing is the line that directs the water from the water well to the windshield. When I took the vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealership for repair they wanted to replace the entire unit/water pump. But the water pump is not broken. …”
NHTSA complaint #11374718, filed 2020-11, 38,000 miles“While driving on the freeway at about 60mph, 100 degrees outside, A/C on low inside the car (no A/C vents in the rear of vehicle), I hear a loud pop. I thought a tire blew. I looked in the rear view mirror to see the back window shattered yet still in place as it's safety glass. With each bump in the road the glass began to fall into the car. My car has 5340 miles on it. I had no chips in the glass. This could have been a terrible situation had I had a rear facing baby seat in the car with an infant. Or rear passengers or been so startled by the situation it caused an accident. …”
