Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:FUELING/CHARGING DOOR/HATCH/PORT:LATCH/LOCK RELEASE SYSTEM filed February 21, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1874889 (ODI reference 11508259) concerns a 2022 HYUNDAI VENUE and was filed on February 21, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 20, 2023. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as latches/locks/linkages:fueling/charging door/hatch/port:latch/lock release system, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HYUNDAI VENUE cohort independently describe similar latches/locks/linkages:fueling/charging door/hatch/port:latch/lock release system failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 HYUNDAI VENUE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The gas door will not open when the lever is pulled. My safety is put at risk because if i was running out of gas, I would not be able to put gas in the car. Thank God I was not out of town. I have to take a plastic fork or knife, slide it in the crevice and then pull the lever inside the car. yes. yes. there has been no warning.
