38 Seat Belt problem of the 2022 Hyundai Elantra

Failure Date: 06/21/2022

I was advised of the current recall on my new 22 Elantra. I took my vehicle to the Hyundai dealership where it was purchased (cookeville) from a mere few months ago. I advised I needed the recall on the seat belts fixed. I was then told that they wouldn't be able to fix this recall for awhile (over a month) because they needed to fix the cars currently on the lot. The unsold cars that are just sitting there. Not only is this reckless, it shows a complete disregard to my safety and others that may be in the vehicle or near it if something were to happen while being driven. Mind you, I bought this car completely new from them and have zero issues up until this point. I feel that my vehicle should be given priority over a vehicle that isn't even sold. The cookeville Hyundai is prioritizing money over public safety and I will as though it should be addressed immediately.

39 Seat Belt problem of the 2022 Hyundai Elantra

Failure Date: 06/21/2022

Hello, I bought a brand new Hyundai Elantra hybrid 2022. In the first month my navigation system started having trouble and would just stop working as I was driving. Which was very unpleasant experience. I would like to keep using it but it just wont work. I already went to the dealership for this issue but they were unable to resolve it. The only thing they could do was to restart the car. Please see the screenshots of errors for your review and investigation. Today, but accidentally discovered that my huydai has a recall and I was not informed about it. The issue at hand is following: "safety risk the subject vehicles are equipped with driver/passenger pyrotechnic-type seat belt pretensioners that may deploy abnormally during a crash. An abnromal pyrotechnic pretensioner deployment could cause metal fragments to enter the vehicle occupant compartment, which may result in injury to vehicleoccupants. " this is serious. I am scared to drive because my seatbelt can kill me if I get into an accident. I would like to ask you, please take care of this issue ASAP and also provide a remedy for failed notification on time which puts my life and health under risk. Thank you very much, victoria.

On February 23, 2022, I was involved in an accident with the Hyundai Elantra, VIN# [xxx]. The vehicle’s brakes failed, and I struck a blue Ford escape from behind with a speed of approximately 37 mph. On January 13th, I made an appointment with the napleton valley dealership in aurora, IL. Where the vehicle was purchased complaining about the brakes and drifting into an intersection on route 83 and sycamore rd. For 20 feet. The mechanic checked the brake pads, drove it for 3 miles and deemed that the vehicle’s pads were adequate. It was determined that no problem was found, brakes checked good, all within specs. (12,818 miles). The vehicle was towed from hinsdale, IL. To dekalb, IL. , approximately 85 miles to my residence at 612 magnolia st. Dekalb, IL. 60115. It was then towed a distance 3. 2 mile to dekalb body and collision, 116 industrial dr. , dekalb, IL. 60115. Since then, it has been back in the dealership for issues related to the engine, taillight, and a series of additional inspections verifying that the codes were working. On March 8th when I visited the body shop & collision I was told to “hire an attorney”. The vehicle was defective and should have never been on the streets. Preliminary findings on vehicle were concerning as far as airbag sensor was impacted but no airbags deployed at the time of impact. Upon vehicle arriving at our repair facility, we conducted pre-repair scan vehicle codes read as followed (see picture). Impact sensor was highly damaged, expected to have had airbags deployed at the time vehicle was impacted. Vehicle received front-end damages which resulted in needing the following parts replaced, front bumper and grille. Crash impacted the front bumper reinforcement resulting in some hours needed on frame machine to align front-end. Engine cooling system was impacted resulting in the need to replace radiator assembly and a/c condenser assembly. Hood and both front lamps are needed to be replaced as well.

66 Seat Belt problem of the 2013 Hyundai Elantra

Failure Date: 06/19/2021

After starting car I tried to put the driver left side seatbelt on. It seemed to be stuck and would not budge after trying to pull over me. I noticed other people who owned Hyundai cars same year also had the same trouble. When I called the dealership they gave me a quote of $500. Not only does is this a safety hazard but fraudulent as well. Hyundai corporation sent me a letter stating it was not a lemon. I never said it was. But it is defective and should be recalled!.

68 Seat Belt problem of the 2010 Hyundai Elantra

Failure Date: 05/20/2021

Eps or electric power steering stoped working in the middle of the intersection when I tried to turn left. Vehicle became uncontrollable and I had to stop in the middle of the intersection. Everyone started honking and several lights changed before someone approached and helped me just to park the vehicle right after the intersection. There was no lights or any warning that this will happen. I was lucky not to get injured because of this car malfunction. I contacted Hyundai and they confirmed there was recall with that particular problem! recall numbers 931 and 127. But since than they are very unprofessional and not interested in fixing this issue! I feel like they have 0% interest in helping their customers! second issue that persists for longer time are seatbelts. They pop open in random moments of driving! they don’t stay locked the whole drive and I feel unsafe in my Hyundai! I called Hyundai the same day ( may 20th) I almost crashed because of well known recall on bad design eps , and today August 10th , other than exchanging few emails, they didn’t help me at all! I’m really disappointed with Hyundai safety and customer care, and I don’t recommend to anyone to buy and own Hyundai !.
