This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My car started smoking while off and parked after the recall was initiated, and I went through my insurance but they can-??t find the problem and I also contacted Hyundai who has never contacted me back. My car is still sitting at Auto Nation Hyundai and nothing has been done. I-??m not driving that car with my kids or anyone in it after witnessing that and it-??s a symptom of the recall. The car is not about to burn with us in it.
According to the recall letter that was mailed to me in October of 2023, it says "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL- Owners are advised to park their vehicles outside and away from structures until the recall remedy is completed." It says that the Anti Lock Brake System could leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short over time. This could lead to an engine compartment fire while parked or driving. As of today, April 6, 2024 there is no remedy for this recall. I have called the Hyundai dealer many times and asked for a solution. They said there is still no solution and refused to buy back the vehicle because of its age. Instead they suggested I try to sell the car privately.
On 3/4/24 my break light came on approx 9:15pm. I drove the car about 10 min home and pulled in the driveway at 9:30 PM. My husband assessed brake fluid, to find it needed and brake fluid. He added break fluid and told me to take the car to get it checked in the am. The car was making a continuous humming noise. @ 4:55 AM on 3/5/24 we awoke to the tires exploding & the car fully engulfed in flames. Fire department had to put out fire. Then we remember the ABS BREAK recall from Hyundai was no remedy.
I had to get the coupling replaced after my steering started knocking loudly about 5 to 6 months ago. Now I'm having problems with the crank shaft sensor.
My wife was driving down the road when the car started smoking. When she pulled over she grabbed a bag and as she was getting out her flames were coming under her dash. Total loss
Took the car to harbor Hyundai in long beach, ca for an SRS/airbag warning light that turned on and remained on in the vehicle's instrument cluster upon starting the car on 1/13/2019. The vehicle was stationary and parked in a residential street. This is a big safety concern, as the safety restraining systems may not function properly in the case of an accident. The service department diagnosed the issue with error codes B1490 and B1763, symbolizing an "OCS(occupant classification system) defect" and "OCS ECU defect" in the vehicle, which advised replacement of both the ECU and the passenger seat cushion. This issue seems to directly to relate to Hyundai's "campaign 111" recall which involves vehicles manufactured from May 22, 2012 through November 23, 2012 (just 1 month, 10 days) before my vehicle was built. Because the symptoms in this issue seem almost identical to that recall, this issue might be the same issue as stated in the recall. Unfortunately, the vehicle's VIN does not exist within that previous recall, meaning a large repair expense needs to be paid. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case number was made for the issue reported. Attached are copies of the service department's vehicle obd II scanner report along with the invoice, an outline of the error codes scanned, and an estimated repair cost.
At approximately 40K miles the air bag warning indicator came on while there was a child passenger in the front seat. It only came on when my 15 year old would sit there and we were moving. I brought it to the dealer and the fault was reset. The dealer stated if it reoccured they would order a new sensor. It did reoccur this time while traveling on the highway with a 160 lb. 5'5 man in the passenger seat, and the dealer was notified. I was told that when the part came in they would call. The dealer never called. Due to lack of time on my part I did not follow up for two years and the light was on the entire time. When I did go back the dealer started that was to long ago and now the part is no longer under warranty despite being documented as bad while it was still under warranty. Now while searching for a part online I found that this is a known issue and the was a recall for this. Why don't the dealer fix it?
When the seatbelts are unbuckled, the warning chime does not come on. The blinker sound does not come on either. When discussed with service department at dealer, they didn't know how to fix it.
Engine will not start on an intermittently. Push brake and start button and only a soft buzzing/click noise under hood. Has happened 4 times in last 3 days. After 3-5 tries it started. Dealer wanted to charge $135 if they could not find a defective part. Googled the problem and found this is a problem with 2011-2013 Hyundai. If my wife is trying to flee an attacker and cannot start this automobile I consider it a real potential hazard according to dealer there is no recall or Hyundai bulletin on this problem even though it is being reported as such by consumers on the internet..
When I start car, in daylight, the radio/gps screen is dim. If I restart car the car the screen comes to full brightness. All tech people at millennium Hyundai have supplied documentation that they agree with my statement but Hyundai corporation clearly refuses to fix the problem. All I have asked is that if this becomes a permanent situation after the three year guarantee they will fix it.
