Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was notified in september of 2020 that there was a recall to install a fuse kit into the ABS module electrical circuit and update the ABS software on my vehicle. It is now march 2021 and Hyundai still does not have the parts to correct this problem. Since this is a fire hazard, I see this as an issue that they need to promptly correct. 6 months is too long to be waiting when they know there is a problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11399615, filed 2021-03, 4,300 miles“Recall 20-01-040h - I've been trying to get this part since july of 2020, this is a safety recall and I finally went to stew hansen Hyundai in des moines iowa on 12/29/2020 and they ordered it for the auto officially. I had been on a list for when it came in to get it fixed. For this being a safety recall this is absolutely ridiculous that I can't get this fixed. This is a complaint not a vehicle issue. Hyundai's handing of this recall is lackluster at best. I don't feel enough if being done to get this taken care of.”
NHTSA complaint #11396399, filed 2021-02, 5,524 miles“I am unable to safely drive my new 2020 Hyundai Tucson purchased july 12, 2020, due to a dangerous recall. There is no solution at this time and if the ABS light comes on, I am advised to pull over, disconnect the battery and have it towed to the dealership. Also, do not park the car indoors. I was planning on taking some road trips; that is why I purchased the car. Hyundai advised me not to take a road trip due to the problem. I thought they might give me a loaner till the situation was resolved but customer service said only if the ABS light comes on . …”
NHTSA complaint #11359842, filed 2020-09, 1,300 miles“Service recall 195 for ABS system and potential fire hazard. Hyundai says not to drive because of safety risk and that parts are not available nationwide. Apparently this is only for existing cars if you buy new they will fix the problem and have parts available immediately. How is that possible?”
