“Today, my 2012 Tucson needed a tire put back on, after using a spare. On asphalt, level ground, I used the jack that came with my vehicle aligned as directed, and slowly lifted the car, driver front. The spare tire came off easily, without problems. As I aligned the tire to put on, the jack failed, twisting outwards and collapsing, twisting my right wrist badly. I had a jack stand under the car, or I could have been seriously hurt. However, the jack stand had been aligned for the car when the jack was lifting it. …”

“I was having my car cleaned after a week at the beach and the little plastic circle that hold the floor mats in place came off of the floor mat. Now when I drive the floor mat is constantly riding up onto the gas pedal. I called Hyundai and they said there was nothing they could do and I'd have to purchase a whole new set of floor mats for over $100. The car was just over a year old at the time.... Now I have had to take the floor mat out because I am afraid the gas pedal will get stuck or the floor mat will prevent me from using the brake properly.”
