“I'm the owner of a 2016 Hyundai santa fe that the engine started knocking and when I opened the hood car was on fire I looked like a movie car blow up bursting glass everywhere I almost died if I didn't stop to look at it.”
NHTSA complaint #11326426, filed 2020-05, 92,000 miles“Takata recall -the transmission does not engage at the proper times. Headrests make your head bend so far foward your chin is almost touching your chest.”
NHTSA complaint #10873979, filed 2016-06, 1,500 miles“While driving, the driver seat adjusted causing my seat to move up to the steering wheel. At the time I was on the expressway. I was too terrified to scream, I had to pull over to catch my breathe before I could continue driving to get home. I took my car to Hyundai and the service man stated that it didn't happen when he drove it and that they didn't find anything wrong. I filed a complaint before and never heard anything back. The car seat still adjusts. I don't drive it as much now.”
