2017 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • Date of Incident: Jun-03, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-22, 2024
  • Failed components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, and FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

In june 2024, my vehicle suddenly lost power while i was driving on the freeway, almost causing a serious accident. I managed to restart the car after being stuck on the shoulder of the freeway for several minutes. The same issue occurred the following day, prompting me to have the vehicle towed to the dealership. Hyundai motor was contacted since the vehicle is still under warranty. The dealership informed me they would conduct an oil consumption test three times to diagnose the issue. However, they also stated that for the test to be successful, i needed to replace unrelated parts, including the brakes and transmission oil, among other items. Reluctantly, i agreed and spent $1,800 on these replacements. After completing the first oil consumption test, i returned for the second test. However, the dealership informed me that no further tests were necessary and returned the car to me without addressing the underlying issue. I emailed the case manager assigned by hyundai to report this, but i never received a response. A few months later, the car failed to start. I contacted hyundai again, and they dispatched a tow truck. The tow truck driver managed to start the car. A few days later, the issue recurred, and the roadside assistance tow driver suggested it might be the battery. Out of frustration, i paid $300 to replace the battery. Despite this, the car continued to make unusual noises at startup, a problem i had repeatedly mentioned to the dealership and in my communications with hyundai. The situation reached a critical point today when my wife was driving the vehicle on the freeway with our five children inside. While traveling at 60 miles per hour, the car suddenly lost power again, putting their lives in danger. This is the third time this hazardous issue has occurred, and i fear for the safety of my family.

  • Failed components: ENGINE and UNKNOWN OR OTHER

My car 2015 hyundia veloster has been under recall since 2021 for connecting rod failure in engine and oil leaking around spark plugs that could cause a fire plus what the other recall is. Hyundai corp refuses to repair my car, it has ksds, oil consumption, refuse to do engine inspection, wanting to charge me for items related to a recall. My car as stated with you before eating oil, poor compression stalls knock loses power i recently had to pay 3200. 00 for catalytic converters so i would have a car only to find out it could happen again due to recall number198. I need someone to help me get this resolve. Why should have to replace my engine when it under recall and you can't sell your car due to that? I have been fighting hyundai corp for two years i had oil around my spark plugs in 2023, black spark plugs 2024

  • Date complaint filed: Dec-21, 2024
  • Failed components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, and UNKNOWN OR OTHER

THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING THE BRAKE LIGHT TO STAY ON CONTINIOUSLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON SO THERES NO INDICATION THAT I'M GETTING READY TO STOP BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ALREADY ON, INCREASEING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ALSO AFECTECED WITH THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT STOP WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. I LOOKED UP THE RECALL AND IT SAID THAT 2013 -2015 HYDUNDIA Santa FeE SPORT VIHECLES WERE AFFECTED, BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEARLERSHIP THEY SAID MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL!

  • Failed components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM and UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Literally for years i have been taking my car in to rick case hyundai with the complaint of smelling gas even when the car was parked for long periods. Each time they said they fixed with different items. Gas cap, a part on the catalytic converter, etc. The problem never resolved but i noticed it only happened when the tank was more than half full. I got a video of gas dripping out underneath and took the car to rick case and gave them the video. My car has been there ten days because they first tried to say it was a seal on the fuel pump. This time i said that seems unlikely cause that only happens when tank is full and persists even after car is parked many hours. Now they report they found a pinhole leak in the gas tank. I will upload the video if this form allows. This does not appear to be a pinhole leak to me. I first noticed this around 2019. Unfortunately the video is mp4 and i cannot upload it.

2020 Hyundai Elantra
  • Date of Incident: Dec-19, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-20, 2024
  • Failed components: AIR BAGS

On december 19th at about 1:40 p. M i was driving to work, and got distracted and had a front-end collision with a tree that was about 1-3 feet next to the side of the road. Extensive damage to the vehicle, and personal injuries occurred (mild concussion, stress fracture of left forearm, bruising/abrasion on ride side torso, sprained left thumb, and abrasions on head). Both the driver and passenger airbags did not deploy which contributed to me almost flying through the windshield. The emergency responders and tow truck operator were very surprised i wasn't in critical condition or dead and noted that the airbags failing was a serious issue and i was lucky. This was reported to the manufacturer and geico insurance on december 20th, and i am currently awaiting to hear back from both to get the inspections scheduled. The vehicle is currently located at oc's auto at 598 armistead blvd, holt fl 32564. I have already signed papers giving permission for inspections by the insurance company if they request it, but currently inspections haven't been done yet to determine damage estimates or to investigate the airbags.
