Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have had 4 HVAC control heads burn out between a 2012 Veloster and my current 2016 Veloster I purchased after the 2012 was totalled. The part is burning out because it overheats and is a matter of time before it causes even greater damage and risk of injury in the future if not addressed.”
NHTSA complaint #11319659, filed 2020-03, 54,866 miles“I have complained many times that after stopping at a red light, stop sign or just when turning into traffic my car stalls and has almost caused several wrecks. This is very scary to me. I have complained about this since I bought this car brand new.”
NHTSA complaint #11407023, filed 2021-04, 300 miles“My sunroof exploded spontaneously while driving my vehicle down the interstate. Nothing hit my car or sunroof. It just exploded. I was told that because it was a hot day and that I was running my air conditioner, that glass can swell and break on its own . The sunroof was closed at the time. It was terrifying, I thought I had been shot. I was covered in glass as was my car. It has since been replaced, but I drive in fear of it happening again.”
NHTSA complaint #11039976, filed 2017-10, 28,295 miles“Recall information: for the past 2 months, I have spoken to my Hyundai dealership regarding my air- conditioning. I know it is not an air-conditioning problem, but that of a regulator or thermister going bad. While driving,the air conditioning will be functioning fine with very cold air. Then at a random or at intermittent times will start to blow extremely hot oven like air. I then turn the air-conditioner off. It will then at a later time blow cold air again. I am scared the car will seriously overheat as the air is so intently hot. …”
NHTSA complaint #11099908, filed 2018-06, 17,000 miles“At times starting from a dead stop when accelerating to pull into on coming traffic the engine RPM will go as high as 6000 RPM and as far as my MPH will be approximately 10 to 15 MPH and it seems as the transmission is not engaging. Last time this occurred I was this issue nearly caused an accident . I have taken this vehicle to the dealership without any problems found. This condition concerns me because I never know when this problem will arise. With a low mileage car at just over 6300 miles it makes me very anxious that I could possibly in a serious accident”
