B pillar separated from the frame during collision causing catastrophic intrusion into the cabin upon impact leading to death of the driver. No other occupants in the vehicle. Multiple investigators noted the B pillar failure upon inspection. Independent, certified crash reconstruction expert also noticed immediately that the B pillar had failed which caused cabin intrusion to an extraordinary degree considering the 2 vehicles involved were going less than 40mph. Vehicle is available for inspection. In addition, edr data reveals that although throttle was engaged, rpm's remained at idle up to the time of impact. Driver pushing on the gas and vehicle not responding.

On June 8th, 2018 my husband was driving down interstate 85 in charlotte nc going about 60 mph when the vehicle stalled. He coasted the car to the side of the interstate. He turned the vehicle off then tried to restart it and nothing happen and power was dead in the car. Then he saw smoke coming from under the hood. The doors won't open so he had to climb out though the sunroof to safety. He opened the hood and the engine was inflamed with fire. He called the fire department, they came and put the fire out. The reason I'm filing this compliant is because he could have been seriously hurtor killed if the sunroof was close. Hyundai has no explanation for why this is happening and my vehowas total lost. We also have pictures and a video. I can't upload the video so if someone contacts me I will email it.
On Saturday, October 13, 2018, I was in a parking structure looking for a place to park. I was on the ramp to the 2nd floor when for no apparent reason, my car accelerated and hit the vehicle in front of me and my vehicle immediately quickly reversed backwards and hit the vehicle behind me. The vehicle continued to move back and forth like a bumper car. I was trying to press the break but nothing happened. I started screaming for someone to help that the vehicle was out of control. After going back and forth about 5 times before being stopped by the vehicle behind me. The vehicle was stationary when this all happened.

Takata recall. My son was driving down a major state route at 9:30pm when the car suddenly lost power, shortly there after, it stalled out, all the dashboard lights went on and within 2-3 mins, smoke poured from the front of the car and within 2 mins the front of the car was one huge blaze of fire. He was lucky to get out in time. It was very traumatic for him to say the least, not to mention as his parents, we were on face time with him after he pulled over and saw this as it was happening and couldn't be there to assist him.
Water leaking inside cabin on passenger side. Mold accumulating behind dashboard. Also loud noise of spraying water, which is distracting during driving especially during right or left turning. Passenger experienced a near slip and fall after exiting the vehicle on a slick surface, not realizing her shoes were wet from the drenched carpet on that side of the cabin.there is also a noticeable stench in the cabin that has made me nauseously sick. I was distracted by the sound of spraying water to the point of trying to locate it while driving. This happens when driving in the city or highways. This happens only while driving.
The paint is chipping away in the exterior by the door handles and the steering wheel. Also the driver seat material is starting to fall apart as well as the door trim on the driver's side.

I saw glass particles coming down my winsheild got out the car to look around the vehicle when I observed the broken glass had come from the sunroof - it shattered and created a large hole.
While driving on the highway at 70 mph, the panoramic sunroof on the vehicle spontaneously shattered with a loud sound, and glass came showering into the cabin. The vehicle immediately behind me witnessed the event and some of the glass hit his vehicle at high speed. We both pulled to the shoulder and exchanged contact information. He witnessed that no object hit my sunroof, it simply shattered.
Sonata recall. The airbag light has been on for 3days now and won't shut off no matter what I do and I'm scared it will deploy. Back in may I noticed the paint in my car shipping after I took it to get washed, now my car looks ugly.
