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.
Engine cranks normally attempting to start. When failed to start, the 'start' button is pushed to stop the attempt. Tried again. Took 3 attempts to finally start. Once started the engine revs at high RPM's. when put in 'd' the car lurches and accelerates without pushing gas pedal. If the car is turned off after starting and restarted, fast acceleration is eliminated. Car has ultimately started, but the fear is it will get worse and ultimately fail to start stranding the driver. Car runs perfectly in normal driving on the highway. This has occurred almost daily for 90 days. Hyundai service: Taken to Hyundai on two occasions. They say they could not duplicate problem and no computer error codes generated. Stumped! can do nothing if problem can't be duplicated by service tech! keeping quiet? new condition 4/26/18! car has shut down twice at a stop light, 4/26 and 4/29. Fear of shutting down while in traffic as reported in user forums. Hyundai user forums: Dozens of owners disclose that the problem is widespread across years and models. Report that Hyundai denies there is an issue with problematic starting and stalling at low speeds and high speeds! owners report fear of serious accident if the car stalls on the highway, entering traffic or making turns across traffic.
Hyundai is having a real issue with their fuel pumps. My car is currently in the shop for its 3rd fuel pump at 120K miles. The safety issue is how the pump goes out with no indication of an issue from the car at all. This time I was parked at a gas station, however the 2nd incident is more concerning. Then, I was traveling on the highway at approx. 70-75 mph. Without warning, the engine stopped and of course so all of the other controls from the engine. Because I had a full loss of power, I was lucky that there were no cars in the inside lane and I could move over in time to get to the side shoulder. I literally coasted to the shoulder at 20 mph. If I hadn't been able to get to the shoulder, I would have been stuck in the middle of a 4 lane highway with no way to move the car.
