Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 4 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.

Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 3 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.

Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

The differential mounting bolt on the passenger side (the only one on that side) backed out and broke causing that side of the differential to smack the bottom of the car and then sag on the passenger side after letting off the throttle. Once it dropped it made the car come to a compete stop fast. Luckily there was no accident. This exact issue has already been fixed previously under recall, due to this the dealership nor manufacturer is wanting to fix it under the recall again.

20240228VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

There is a code that comes on my car, makes the engine light come on then it goes out on its own . And every year it’s back on same code. Has been happening for years . I took it to the dealership 2xs for the same reason each time they said nothing was wrong cleared the code and the engine light went out. This year being the 9th year having the vehicle the engine light kept coming back on every day after it was cleared and nothing found. So the Happy Hyundai dealership ship said leave the car overnight and see if the engine light is back on and if so he can see then what the issue is because it won’t be historical. I paid $212 for diagnostic, and then a few days he said leave overnight. He discovered that the throttle body had an issue and suggested cleaning. But the car goes in limp mode and I couldn’t accelerate but 20-25 mph. The first 20 mins of driving every day. Then it takes off. He determined that an accelerator pedal position sensor was bad. And I went years without any

While driving I noticed an engine noise/rattle about 3000RPM. The engine seemed to run fine but was making this abnormal noise. At 73,083 miles I towed the car to the Hyundai dealer. They found an anomaly in cylinder #5 and recommended engine replacement but refused warranty powertrain coverage because I am not the original owner. They also refused goodwill coverage even though this is a known issue with Hyundai engines.
