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.
Driver Seat (where your bottom sits) has lateral movement during cornering. Dealer repaired /replaced parts initally under warranty, but issue is reoccuring again... As a senior citizen; this gives an uncomfortable feeling with driver postioning.
On my Drive seat the recline switch with not go back only forward. The dealer explain to me that the switch is going to cost me over $700. I recplace the Power Seat Switch for $49.99 and the Power Seat Switch Knob only cost $ $12.48, Now I am going replace the motor $257.22

[xxx] seat back will not go back. The seat is forward toward the steering wheel. This occurred while driving. Unable to drive vehicle. Another issue while driving engine hesitant in moving acts as if car is going to shut off. Then it revs up.

Passenger air bag off light remains on whenever an adult weighing more tha 120 lbs are sitting in the passenger seat with a small pillow or seat cushion on the seat. Pillow is needed to enhance seating comfort, especially on long road trips. Light does work when pillow is not used. Unfortunately, seat is poorly designed that requires additional after market support to make it usable on long trips. Sensor need to detect passenger weight with or without additional cushions or activate the airbag 100% of the time. I have already reported this to Hyundai, case number 10626629. They claimed the light is working as designed, only when used without after market cushion. My response is that it is a major safety defect in design, it obviously failed in detecting the total weight on the passenger seat. I believe that Hyundai would be at fault should the airbag failed to deploy during an accident and the passenger is seriously injured or killed. There are additional reasons to use cushions for health or handicapped person, for example. How hard is it to detect total weight of more than 90 lbs on top of that sest? the light remains off when car is moving or stopped. In addition, I have also experienced no acceleration on a left turn when stepped on gas, as previously reported by other's. engine would rev to over 2000 RPM but the car us not moving for about 30+ seconds. This is a very serious safety issue when you're stuck on a left turn.
