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.
Addendum to complaint #10806179: Dashboard warning lights that keep coming on and off and permanently staying on are the parking brake, ABS service indicator, 4WD system warning light, low tire pressure telltale. All of these warning lights tell you to bring to your dealer as soon as possible as severe injury or death could occur. I really think this is a safety issue that should be looked into. Thank you. Not sure where else to go with this; have sent Hyundai usa an email as well.
I loose power steering. The steering wheel is so loose you have to hang onto to keep the car on the road. It happens frequently when driving over a stretch of road that is been patched ( and there are many stretches like that in NJ) but that is not always the case. There is no clear pattern to this situation. Generally it happens once and then not again for a couple of days - then the lights on the dash come indicating issues with the steering, tire pressure and engine malfunction. First go around was Sept. 2014 @ 6,800 miles. It was taken into Hyundai - the test drove it for a couple of days until the problem occurred for them. The steering column (upper assembly) was replaced. A year goes by (Sept. 2015) and it starts again @14,800 miles. Same procedure as last year - pick vehicle up after 9 days - 2 hours later, same thing, no steering all the lights come. This time the cleaned grounds. One week later same situation.driving this vehicle is extremely tense, many times I have to pull off the road and wait for others to pass. And hope that is corrects itself, which it does sometimes but for how long I never know.
While driving the steering wheel suddenly became so loose I had to told the wheel very still because if you touched slightly the car would swerve either to the left or right this continued for several minutes and then correct itself. This happened any times - then lights on the dashboard came on - the air pressure, battery and engine light and the steering light. The next day everything was fine no lights - then the steering went loose again and the lights came on. Called the dealership where I bought the car and was told they could see the car for a week. Another had me come in the next day but was told the car did show the lights so they cleared the computer and reset it but they could do nothing more unless the lights came back on. I could bring the car back when it happened again. I was no sooner out of the dealership and the steering went and the lights came back on - I turned around and headed back - just I got there the lights went off and the steering was normal so I did not go back in. It is uncomfortable driving the car knowing this could happen at anytime and nothing has been fixed. In the meantime, no one has a loaner car and this is the only car we have. I will go back next week for further observation.
