I got this used car from Hyundai Courtesy in late 2020. My issue with this used car is that there is no TPMS reset button to get the tires back to have the same tire pressure. Even with battery mode reset done, the tires are always out of sync after a few days or hours. I do go to the dealership to get the tpms fixed but after a few days, it is back to out of sync. I am writing to the safety board to inform them and hopefully, Hyundai corporate can look into this electrical issue.

The engine stalled out while driving on the highway. No indicator warning lights came on. The vehicle would not restart. Had to be pushed off the road. Prior to the engine, the tire pressure gauge warning indicator light did not work when tire went flat. I was driving on the interstate 23 back end slid. I pulled off the road and the driver side back tire was completely flat. Put on spare tire.all the lights on dash came on. Went straight to tire garage had 2 tires on back put on. The vehicle is at Tim Short Hyundai dealership in Pikeville Ky. Has been there since 03/11/2022. The engine problem occurred 02/26/22. I had vehicle taken to Carbon Auto Repair shop in Paintsville Ky. The mechanic stated the engine would have to be replaced. I called Hyundai dealership and informed what happened. They scheduled an appointment for inspection. Case # 19459076. Case Manager is Shemroy # is 1-833-462-8722 ext65413. Tim Short Hyundai dealership in Pikeville Ky # is 1-606-437-1300. I have called the dealership several occasions no results or they leave me on the line until it automatically hangs up. They do the Case manager same way.I have only had the vehicle for a 1 year and it is only 4years old total. This is a safety hazard. Multiple vehicles were around me both incidents. I have seen recalls on same make and model as my vehicle. I just don't want this to continue to happen.i would appreciate any help. I uploaded emails to show as well as I have several voicemails saved. I just want the right thing done. Also the paint has peeled off hood roof and now the side panels. The vehicle is at dealership in Pikeville Ky if you would inspected it. Has been there since this occurred.

Stationary vehicle with oem hankook tires developed severe sidewall cracking, necessitating replacement. Warranty would not cover replacement as they would not cover tire damage when vehicle not in motion. Dealership said they would attempt to contact manufacturer, and would reach out if a partial credit was available. No word at this time.

I have a 2017 Elantra sport. I check my tire pressure monthly, but noticed this last time that I lost more than the normal 1 or 2 psi. After visual inspection, both front tires have deep cracks around the majority of tires. I did some google searching and found recalls for the ventus S noble 2 back in 2016. I tried calling my local dealer, but they have not been much help, referring me to hankook. I called the hankook service line 800 426-5665, it just rings and then transfers to a voicemail that is full, and cannot take anymore messages because the mailbox is full. My tire is a hankook 225/40/18. I read online how these specific tires can cause blowout when turning even at low speeds. This is my daughters car she uses for work and college. I want to be sure she is safe as any parent would want. Although, I don't seem to be getting anywhere with either Hyundai or hankook.

Drove car less than 20 miles round trip on city streets, for a morning appointment. Was parked about 40 minutes during the appointment. Returned home and parked, no problem, no tire pressure problem indicated by sensors. Departed on second trip of the day less than 6 miles from home for another appointment, parked for about 50 minutes. Tire was completely flat in parking lot afterwards. Tow operator placed my spare tire on, we visually inspected the falt tire and there was no visible damage to tire or rim. I drove vehicle to nearest Hyundai dealer 3.5 miles away. Dealer service department inspected tire and rim with me again, same conclusion no visible and no apparent damage. Service department dunk tested the tire, no leak detected. Tire was re-inflated and placed back on the car. Drove 2 miles to home and parked. Less than 2 hour later tire was completely flat again. Tire is on driver (left) side rear. Valve stem is snug, no apparent problem except that tire no longer remain inflated. Tire and wheel rim are dealer/manufacturer original equipment. Tire is branded as nexen npriz AH8, size is 205/55R16 91H

Bought car brand new, from dealer. All 4 hankook ventus S1 noble2 tires exhibit cracking and separation on sidewall of tires, inside hub and external. This is not ozone cracking. Dealership determined defective tire based on maintenance records, visual inspection and tire care. This issue is identical to one described in previous hankook tire recall from January 2016, except for tire size and dot. Hankook tires want to issue partial credit. Tires are unsafe for use as dealership mentioned one pot hole and a blowout will occur.

I purchased a brand new 2017 Hyundai Elantra ex car off the lot that came stock with all nexen tires. Within the first couple of months, under 2000 miles, I noticed the tire looked like the rubber was shredding and saw sidewall bubbling. Had to pay for a new tire when the original tire had hardly any use. A couple of months later, we noticed a bubble on the rear tire, took it in to Goodyear, another barely used tire was defective. While my son was driving on the freeway, a couple of weeks later, he got a flat and the whole sidewall was separated and damaged, the 3rd defective tire. Yesterday, while driving in the neighborhood on our way home, a blowout in the last of the nexen tires. Literally a hole in the sidewall. This was a new car, with new tires. All 4 manufactured tires on the car were defective. Thank god we were not killed on the freeway or harmed anyone with this hazardous brand of tire. This tire has failed, all four new tires failed. 2 images are attached. Two failed on the highway, two failed on city streets. Shame on nexen for not recalling this tire yet. I've called nexen warranty but had to leave a message.

I have had a ton of issues. My blind spot sensors only work occasionally. (I actually know someone else with a Hyundai that is having the same problem). Additionally, sensors go off at random. I have had the warnings for flat tire pop up multiple times when there was no flat tire. One of the tones my steering wheel actually locked up and I was unable to drive. I have also had issues with my radio screen and the radio playing. My push to start button also has issues. Sometimes it will not turn the whole car off. They replaced something in the bottom but it is still happening. Today it actually had a hard time starting. This has been happening since I got the car. I've had it less than a year and it has been to the shop a couple dozen times. This happens at all times both when I'm moving and not moving depending on the issues. It has also happened when I was driving slower and faster. My screen has also frozen and I have been unable to use it. Both in motion and parked. P

I was driving 65mph on the freeway, there was no debris on the road that cars had to avoid running over. This was on the 405 freeway so if there is anything on the road chp comes to remove it because it is an incredibly busy freeway.while drivining, all of a sudden I hear a loud pop and my tire pressure indicator kights started to flash and I started to loose control of my car. I managed to control it in time to avoid crashing at 65 mph. I pulled over and noted my tired popped and deflated. I went to big O tires and they told me this blowout was due to a manufacturer malfunction. The tire has 8,000 miles on it and it came with my brand new car in March so they are not old. I have read several people who have also experienced blowouts for no reason with their nexen tires that Hyundai is using. These tires are dangerous and could have caused me my life if I hadn't reacted quickly to keep from crashing. Please do something about this before people's lives are ruined or over due to nexen

Purchased a 2017 Hyundai Elantra limited which came with nexen brand 225 45 R17 tires on it. Shortly after purchase I had to start putting air on the passenger front tire for some unknown reason. After a few weeks the leak became worse and automatically assuming I may have ran over someting I took to tire shop and discovered that there was a mall pin hole type leak on the inside wall of the tire, possibly by a seam. I took it to the dealership and they inspected and also agreed it was a defect, vehicle and tire had less than 5,000 miles prior to tire failure. Attempted to report to nexen without response.
