NHTSA complaint #11416607, filed 2021-05, 140,000 miles“I was driving at high speed of 55 MPH and experienced a high-speed stall on my 2013 Hyundai tuscon. I heard a knocking sound and then all my lights came on (oil,engine,etc.). I was so scared and made it to the shoulder safely. Thank god. I tried to start the car but it wouldn't start. I also, saw smoke so I didn't know what was happening. So I was stranded on the highway and called a tow truck and they towed me to the mechanics shop in my town. The mechanic stated to me that there is oil leaking underneath and that my engine is shot! …”
NHTSA complaint #11407201, filed 2021-04, 99,000 miles“I was driving to work at 5am, 10/12/2017. I was a couple of miles from my home, on route 66, when my panoramic sunroof exploded. The sound was so loud, it was like a shotgun going off next to my ear. The temperature at the time was 55 degrees, and I was only going 35 MPH. I pulled over immediately to see what had happened. Since the shade was drawn on the sunroof, I had no idea at first that that was the problem. Once I saw the glass all over the roof, I looked at the sunroof, and saw the huge hole”
NHTSA complaint #11039626, filed 2017-10, 67,444 miles“I was driving to work on the morning of april 17, 2017, I had just turned onto a 2-lane road when there was a loud noise that sounded like a gun being fired inside the vehicle. I immediately pulled over to find that my panoramic sunroof had exploded. I had just made a turn, so I was not going fast, maybe 30-35 MPH, it was a cool spring morning, not overly hot or cold, there was no precipitation, no extreme temperatures. I called the Hyundai dealer we bought the vehicle from, and they said it was not a default in the vehicle, it was not their fault, and they would not replace it.”
