Recent complaints

October 8, 2026Air BagsCrash1 injury

My vehicle did not have any warning lights or issue lights on the dashboard at the time of crash. We were at a full stop on the highway when a car rear ended us going 50-70MPH. The driver had a broken left clavicle. No air bags deployed despite the severity of the crash.

September 24, 2026Forward Collision Avoidance

Hyundai's forward collision warning light is on and won't allow me to use cruise control. I've tried cleaning the area, but still won't turn off. It did turn off for about an hour and while on the freeway using cruise control it came back on.

September 15, 2026Electrical System

The vehicle's cruise control, which was set at 63 mph, set itself to 110 mph and began to accelerate before I turned it off. I reset the cruise control, and it happened again immediately afterwards.

September 2, 2026Service BrakesCrash5 injuries

Braking system failed to brake properly. It feels like even though the brakes were pressed all the way down, the car did not brake as it should. Also, the automatic collision avoidance system did not respond.

August 19, 2026Unknown or Other

I own a 2022 Hyundai Elantra N Line. The HVAC system began malfunctioning when the center/forward-facing dashboard vents stopped producing airflow, while the side vents continued to work. Changing the HVAC mode does not properly redirect airflow to the center vents as intended. The vehicle was inspected and diagnosed, and I was informed that the ventilator lever/mode mechanism is broken or not functioning properly. This appears consistent with a known issue described in Hyundai Technical Service Bulletin 25-HA-001H/26-HA-001H concerning the ventilator lever and loss of airflow from the forward-facing center vents. This failure affects my ability to properly control where air is directed insi
