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

“In August/September 2025 my mother's Tucson would randomly shut down on her (completely stall while driving) and she would not be able to turn it back on. If she waited a little while, then she would be able to turn the car back on but it was unknown when the issue would happen again. We took it to the dealer several times after each shutdown and the dealer stated it was not throwing a code and they could not diagnose the problem. …”

NHTSA complaint #11738618, filed 2026-05

“I have experienced 4 repeated issues within 4 months with my vehicle. Starting in September 2025 and the 4th and current issue today 1/12/26. Driving when all of a sudden all of my brake components lamps come on dash oard, forward collision alert, and check engine, my vehicle struggles to accelerate accurately. Blue Link diagnostic throws various codes such as ECM, Transmission Control System, even multiple possible issues . Each time my vehicle has been at Hyundai dealership for repair. …”

“At times, this vehicle will refuse to go. You will get an alert in the dash that the emergency braking system has engaged. It may be a door is not completely shut, or sometimes it's just that I don't have my seat belt on. It seems to be inconsistent, because I often times put my seat belt on after I finish backing out, and am ready to go forward. If there is any kind of incident that requires a fast escape, this feature could cost somebody their life, or cause them to deal with a carjacking. The car needs to go when I tell it to go.”

NHTSA complaint #11654177, filed 2025-04

“It happened on two different occasions but only when driving at high speed using the Cruise Control. Here is what happened. Driving on the Cruise Control I “Set” it to 70 mph. Driving on the two lane highway with both lanes blocked by other vehicles, I pressed the “brake” pedal. The car slowed down and I continued driving at a lower speed. When traffic in front of me cleared, I pressed the “Resume” button on Cruise Control. With no obstacles in front of me, my car was supposed to accelerate to the previously set speed of 70 mph. Instead, it was slowing down. …”
