Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving I noticed my ABS, Traction Control, AEB, and a couple of other lights came on. Upon restarting my car it was still there but the lights went away on their own after a few minutes of driving. They have been periodically turning and and off as I've driven the past couple of days. I went to the local mechanic shop who performed a diagnostic and found it to be a faulty left rear wheel speed sensor. When researching online, I've come across many people with the same make, model, and year as my car that have experienced this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11672809, filed 2025-07“My car was doing a shocking change of speed all of a sudden, for example I would be driving and accelerating, but the car would not speed above 40mph, and while I was still pressing on the accelerator, it would do like a shocking movement and accelerate all of sudden. Yesterday, December 8th, 2022, I was driving on the highway on the 3rd lane and while driving the call did a shocking jump and all of a sudden the speed went down to 20mph, I panic of course because all the cars where going fast, it was a nightmare for me to change lanes because I couldnt manipulate the speed of my car.”
NHTSA complaint #11496698, filed 2022-12“All the warning lights in the day lit up. Brake, LDWS, AEB, outside air temperature won’t read and the a/c blows hot. $486 to diagnose at dealer and they state that it’s an electrical issue due to a bad vacuum pump. I can’t get an answer as to whether the vacuum pump safety campaign was completed or not. Dealer wants $1500 to replace.”
NHTSA complaint #11752545, filed 2026-07“The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the forward collision avoidance system did not function as designed. The contact stated that the vehicle was supposed to chime with a warning indicator stating that the sensor was obstructed. After manually blocking the sensor, it did not function. The vehicle was taken to the dealer three times, but the failure could not be diagnosed due to no error codes. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,113. Updated 09/23/16”
