Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was waiting to turn left, after checking both directions, I tried to accelerate and could barely move. At this point I saw a car headed toward me that I could not see due to a car being parked along side of the road. I tried to get out of the way, but my Tucson would not move. This resulted in being t-boned. Vin photo included I have more photos available if needed”
NHTSA complaint #11133595, filed 2018-10, 72,300 miles“There have been several occasions that have put me at risk because of an acceleration hesitation. I step on the gas pedal and the vehicle takes many moments to start moving. This almost resulted in an accident more than three times, but most importantly when the car seemingly stalled while crossing an intersection. All circumstances were when the vehicle was starting from a stopped or near stopped situation.”
NHTSA complaint #11151888, filed 2018-11, 59,000 miles“When accelerating into traffic the car lags or stops as if I put the car in neutral many times I am next to a vehicle and cann't pull back over on on coming traffic has to hard stop or swerve to avoid hitting me. This of course puts me and on coming vehicles in danger”
NHTSA complaint #11180520, filed 2019-02, 12 miles“Received 2 recall notices to have the engine control software updated with an anti-knock prevention feature. We updated the software at the dealer before the second letter from Hyundai which notified us that the software will limit engine performance and vehicle speed if actuated, and that we should take it to the dealer for repair should this occur. This is perceived to be a sales gimmick for Hyundai that is unavoidable if actuated. …”
NHTSA complaint #11190248, filed 2019-03, 30,000 miles“I was parking in a parking garage and had to make a right turn into a space with cars on both sides. When I normally park, my foot is over the brake and I tap the brake as I go in. In this case, as soon as I began turning right, my car took off like a shot. It felt like a car being floored. I barely missed one of the cars and slammed into a concrete wall, making a 4 x 6 hole in the wall and setting off the air bag in the steering wheel. The car was smoking and I immediately shut it off so there would be no fire.”
