Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I’ve been driving this car for nearly a year, and during that time I have observed 6+ incidents when my instrument cluster went blank and rebooted in the middle of the road while the vehicle is moving. This seems to be widespread issue with no resolution from Hyundai what so ever. I have raised this issue with Hyundai as well.”
NHTSA complaint #11713455, filed 2026-01“Battery issue does not resolved, had to jump-start the vehicle twice, leading to significant inconvenience as I drove nearly an hour each way to the dealership. This situation has resulted in lost work hours and has left me feeling mentally and physically exhausted. Despite my efforts, I still have not received a satisfactory answer regarding the problem”
NHTSA complaint #11630715, filed 2024-12“I was driving the vehicle at 30 MPH when the power to the instrument cluster, infotainment center and headlights went out for approximately 1-2 seconds before recovering. Engine maintained power and acceleration during this period. During blackout I was unable to view speedometer nor other instrument information.”
NHTSA complaint #11686501, filed 2025-09“My entire dashboard goes black and I lose all directions and functions in car. It happens when driving often. Additionally after taking to dealership, it's getting worse. Now warning lights come on and stay on such as master warning lights, batteries, power steering, etc. AC shuts off, the car misses out when driving between 25 and 30 mph. The dealership told me it's not safe to drive.”
NHTSA complaint #11680436, filed 2025-08“I was driving home tonight and while driving the car lost all power on the full screen and headlights. This is the second report of the same problem. It was like a blackout at two o clock in the morning. I couldn’t see the speed and the lights went out. It did come back on in immediately.”
