The wiring connection between the blower motor into the hvac resistor is melting. There looks to be burn marks on the plastic female plug that goes into the resistor. I sometimes smell like plastic is burning. I have to keep fan at max speed to not use the resistor at all. I believe this could be a fire hazard.
The visor broke and fell while I was driving. This is a visibility hazard and I am not mechanically inclined. In my research I've found this is common in certain Hyundai vehicles. Why is this not on your recall list?.
The sun visor does not stay in the upright position or the engaged lowered position, falling straight down into the vision field. The lower corner of the visor has to be anchored in the clip attached to the roof to keep it from falling down. So the visor is unusable.
My daughter's car engine shuts down when she is driving in the street. The car was taken on August 17, 2016, to Hyundai dealership and we were told that it was the fuel pump and sensor. It was replaced and they charged us $800. The next day the car stopped in the middle of the street. The engine shut down. Now, the dealership is replacing the camshaft sensors with no guarantee that this is the problem. This presents a safety issue as the car shuts down while driving in the streets or highway. It can cause an accident.
I believe that there is a problem with the cars main computer. Apparently my car ran out of oil and the indicator light merely flickered at me a few times and then went out. Had to have vehicle towed to shop when it stalled, no codes found in the computer. Shop changed oil. Engine was reported as noisy upon delivery but noise gone after oil change. Shop decided the issue was lack of oil. Two days later check engine light comes on and tachometer would not function. Dealership misrepresented issue on paperwork as stalled engine, I was simply afraid to drive it with the tach not functioning and the check engine light on given issue 2 days prior. Issue with vehicle crank sensor found. No mention of codes showing or not on the dealership paperwork. I was told no codes were found. Today, oil indicator light flickered again. Would not stay on. Upon my inspection there was no oil. I refilled oil, and it began to leak. Tried local mechanic and they advised do not drive, but could not take vehicle. Called roadside assistance, no word yet on newest issue. The only indicators that seem to work are for the tire pressure monitoring system. Client who is mechanic claims the main system and tpms are completely separate. Poor design of engine information. Only meters are speed and tachometer. Customer must rely on computer to show indicators if there is an issue. This cars' oil indicator is malfunctioning. Wonder what other indicators are malfunctioning.
Car just lost power while in stop and go traffic going 10 miles an hour. Had to put in park and restart it, and check engine light came on.
While driving on the freeway, the driver's side sun visor suddenly fell down and blocked all visibility. The sun visor will no longer stay up and dangled above the steering wheel until I removed it. A cheap plastic part broke inside causing it to fall, startling me and nearly causing an accident.
Sun visor broke on the drivers side. The post fell out and is dangling by the cable. The lip on the post that holds in place crumbled.
As I am driving south on us 19 clearwater florida doing 45-50mph for no apparent reason my sun visor flipped down without warning surprising and startling me blocking my vision!! I tried to reposition the visor but it remained limp just tangling in my line of vision.
I simply pulled the sun visor down, it made a strange noise and will no longer stay up, greatly impairing/obstructing the view out the windshield. The light also stopped working. Car is only at 30,000 - always have had routine maintenance.
The driver's side visor fell on my head while I was driving on the highway. The piece that holds the visor up is broken and the visor continues to fall while I am driving, entering my view of the road or hitting me.
Sun visor attachment is cheap plastic and broke off- is now difficult to see while driving in sunny weather.
