Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The rear passenger control arm broke off of the subframe due to severe corrosion despite Hyundai applying a corrosion preventative under recall 17-01-013 on 12/1/2015. During all service work following the preventative in 2015, corrosion was never brought up as a concern by the dealership (we have all service records since date of initial purchase). Thankfully we had just reached our destination and were parking the car when the failure happened. Had the part failed 5 minutes earlier, we would have been on the highway at over 60mph and could have been seriously injured or worse. …”
NHTSA complaint #11610450, filed 2024-08“When trying to brake as the truck in front of me was braking, my brakes would not work at all. I slammed into the truck at approximately 47 MPH. My airbags did not deploy and my seat belt did not tighten. Nothing worked the way it was supposed to.”
NHTSA complaint #10762957, filed 2015-09“My 2007 tuscon failed pa state inspection due a large hold in the left rear frame. Advised to have frame repaired but cost is more than the car is worth at this time. Was advised that this is not new damage, the dealer should have notified me, they have worked on the car for other major issues 3 times in the last year. The car had the underbody corrosion treatment in 2015 but the dealer claims this part was not part of the treatment. I'm asking for Hyundai assistance with this issue, it seems to be a known issue and could have been repaired if reported sooner”
NHTSA complaint #11300982, filed 2020-01“The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that water entered the vehicle through the trunk and the rear passenger side seat. In addition, the roof lining was detaching from the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000. ......updated 01/12/15”
