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.
On three occasions while the vehicle was idling, the dashboard screens and interior lights went completely black, and the steering wheel jerked abruptly in my hands. This sudden electrical failure creates a serious safety concern, particularly if it were to occur while driving at higher speeds. The dealer has not been able to reproduce the problem. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure. There were no warning lamps after the problem occurred. The vehicle has been inspected multiple times by a Hyundai dealership. On one occasion, the dealership retained the vehicle for approximately two months but reported no definitive findings despite error codes being present. On a later visit following another failure, no error codes were recorded. The dealership replaced the head/stereo unit and confirmed no active recalls, yet the issue continues. This problem first occurred while the vehicle was covered under an extended warranty, but due to its intermittent nature, it was not resolved before the warranty mileage threshold was exceeded. I have since found numerous similar complaints online from owners of the same model year describing electrical blackouts and steering-related concerns. A Hyundai service manager advised me to dispose of the vehicle, which further reinforces my concern that the defect may be known but unresolved. I believe this issue represents a potential safety defect and warrants documentation and review. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
This car was stolen because the manufacturer neglected to install an immobilizer in the engine. The car was locked and parked in a secure location, and someone broke the window, opened the steering column and was able to start the car with simply a USB. This incident could have entirely been avoided if it weren-??t for the negligence of Hyundai manufacturers for not installing a key component of this vehicle. The engine immobilizer. The car has since been in the shop for 50 days attempting to repair the damage done by the thieves. Charging me tons of money in deductibles, transportation fees, rental coverage. Again, all of this could have been avoided if Hyundai was a responsible dealer.
