2022 HYUNDAI SONATA

Filed Oct 22, 2026


The fuel tank assembly became pressurized with compressed air due top worn purge control system check valve. This caused the tank to deform and the deformation of the tank led to the fuel pump being pushed out and the back seat of the car was completely unattached and no longer secured. There was a strong presence of gas smell in the car as well. The check engine light came on and the car began to drive poorly. It was taken directly to a Hyundai dealership where it remains as of today. This…

2024 HYUNDAI PALISADE

Filed Oct 22, 2026


I had recall 283 and 292 completed at Hyundai Autonation Savannah on Abercorn 10-19-26. There are pieces broken and screws of some kind left on the floor. Additionally, the clip was broken on the underseat airbag I believe it is from my research. I have concerns about the safety of the seat and the assembly of the components. I fear that if the seat moves forward, could that cause injury to my child in the seat. Could the seatbelt not work properly? I have reached out repeatedly to have an…

2018 HYUNDAI SONATA

Filed Oct 22, 2026


The vehicle experiences a severe delayed start/extended crank condition before finally starting. This is caused by a loss of fuel pressure prime due to the defective fuel filter housing leaking internally, creating an unpredictable and unsafe vehicle operation hazard. The dealership is denying coverage under the 15-year/150,000-mile extended warranty (Campaign TXXS), claiming the issue is a standard fuel pump failure while completely ignoring that the integrated fuel filter housing defect…

2026 HYUNDAI SANTA FE HYBRID

Filed Oct 22, 2026


Traveling the PA Turnpike with the cruise control on and traveling 73 mph. I was in the far left lane and just passed a slower car. There was nothing in front of me in the far left lane or the lane next for at least a half a mile. After just passing the slower car the forward collision avoidance came on and tried to stop the car. I put my foot on the brake as an instinctive action which I believe disengaged the Forward Collision Avoidance system. The dash board lit up saying it was the Forward…

2025 HYUNDAI TUCSON

Filed Oct 22, 2026


Before we noticed the recall. The car had locked up I mean, locked up twice so we took it into Hyundai and they did the upgrade on the driving assist or whatever they did less than a month out of the dealership the car locked up again almost causing a car to come through the back of the car. The first time was a semi almost cleaned us out and sent us to the hospital or maybe killed us. We took the car into the dealership. They did not want to give me a car but they did through customer service…

2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE HYBRID

Filed Oct 22, 2026


Beginning in early October 2026, my 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy has repeatedly experienced a sudden and complete loss of propulsion while driving. During these incidents, dashboard warnings appear stating Check Driver Assistance System and Check Hybrid System. Stop Safely. The vehicle indicates EV mode and completely loses the ability to accelerate or maintain speed. This is not reduced performance or hesitation. The vehicle loses all usable propulsion. The vehicle continues…

2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HYBRID

Filed Oct 22, 2026


Approximately once every 500 - 2000 miles (maybe more frequently this year), my car suddenly begins to accelerate hard. This happens even if my foot is completely off the gas pedal. Usually, before the problem becomes severe, there are a few minutes in which I suspect the car is sometimes lurching forward, or losing some ability to accelerate. Then the problem worsens til the car is almost undriveable... it speeds up, I slow it down with the brakes, I release the brakes, the car speeds up, I…

2026 HYUNDAI TUCSON

Filed Oct 22, 2026


1 injured
Crash

The vehicle was in a significant crash which smashed in the front end and popped both front tires during which the airbags did not deploy. The vehicle is available until the insurance company moves it to salvage. Since the airbag did not deploy my fiance suffered a concussion from hitting the steering wheel. The problem has not been investigated by anyone other than insurance. No warnings of system problems were on prior to the failure to our knowledge.
