When you accelerate & let off the gas pedal, the vehicle still accelerated for 2 seconds after you release the gas pedal. It is like there is a delay with drive by wire signal. This situation can cause rear end collisions & hard panic braking. Please recall this situation to prevent higher insurance cost & increased accidents!

This is a repeat incident. While driving, the speedometer stops working, tachometer, all of the collision warning systems start going through a self test, the check engine light comes on, and most concerning is the power steering. It becomes heavy, as if it is working at half power. The dealer kept the car for over a week recently, and they said that they were unable to duplicate the issue. It happened again while I was on a road trip, and I stopped by five star Hyundai in Albany ga. The service advisor was aware of similar issues have occurred on Hyundai's, but that they were too busy to look at it. She wouldn't even come out of the building to look at the car and wasn't interested in looking at my video. I tried to upload video to this form, but was unable to do

Rear camera suddenly stopped working while reversing. Happened approximately at 19,000 miles. Don't know the cause but seems like a safety issue since rear view cameras are federally mandated. The usual camera view is now replaced by green error screen that says "No signal received. Please try again later"

The horn stopped working in our 2024 Elantra. This is a widespread issue (see NHTSA complaints and Reddit posts). I called ahead to verify with the San Leandro dealership that parts were in stock to perform this repair under warranty (prior to scheduling appointment). We arrived and were told that parts were actually not available (after a 3-hour diagnostic). What changed? Hyundai issued a TSB (technical service bulletin) informing dealerships of how this issue is to be repaired (designating a specific part number, while excluding otherwise qualified Hyundai parts). Without TSB, the dealership could have performed this repair under warranty with the in-stock parts. The dealership could still perform the repair, but Hyundai would not reimburse them under warranty. With a[XXX] wife, I was unable to wait and return later for the warranty to cover the repair. I paid $429 to the dealership for the repair to be done with in-stock parts. I left the dealership with a genuine & working Hyundai horn, but it was not covered by Hyundai-??s warranty. Hyundai has refused to reimburse us. Two key takeaways: 1 - Hyundai is denying there is a widespread issue while secretly telling dealerships how to address it. The unpublished TSB demonstrates that Hyundai is aware of a widespread safety issue, and is failing to issue a recall. The majority of NHSTA complaints for this vehicle reference horn failure. This is a safety issue. I was involved in an accident where I could not warn another driver before the collision. 2 - The TSB is a mechanism by which Hyundai is refusing to perform repairs that should be covered by warranty. This is a violation of Hyundai-??s stated commitment to customers that is not stated even in the fine print of the warranty.

At approx 1000 the horn fuse blew and rendered horn inoperable. Fuse was replaced by dealer. At approx 1500 miles horn was inoperable again, dealer recommended horn replacement however the horns are currently on back order. In both cases, no lamps or messages were available in the car indicating the horn was inoperable.

November 2023: Purchase vehicle. September 2, 2024: Driving on highway 50-55mph in right lane. No one/nothing in front of me. Clear day. Vehicle collision alert starts beeping, vehicle abruptly brakes and steers itself into the left lane. I feared for my life and also for the person who was behind me. September 16-17, 2024: Drop off vehicle at dealership for oil change. Notfd service advisor of Sep 2 incident, requested investigation. Was told I'd have to pay for diagnostics and they would likely not find anything wrong. I was also told in summary: "nothing seemed wrong, incident could have been a glitch, we can talk about turning off the entire safety feature." -- I felt completely dismissed. Since early 2024 (shortly after purchasing): -?? vehicle randomly disables all safety features while I am driving. Yellow icons appear on my dash, and dinging noises keep alerting. This happens almost daily! I showed photos and videos to a second dealership, and sent them to Hyundai corporate (Dec 2024). No one has made any resolution for this. -?? noticing moisture build-up in window crevices. Rear windows have rolled down while vehicle was parked overnight on several occasions. November/December 2024: -?? vehicle making high pitch whistling noise. Problem diagnosed as cracked heater console. Sealed/repaired twice, in two different spots. Why wouldn't they just replace it?! -?? horn not working. I was unaware until dealership tested it. -?? rear doors barely opening. This is a serious safety hazard. People need to be able to get out (and in). Brought vehicle in, was told they "lubed it up", yet the doors are not opening fully again as of December 2024-January 2025. December 2024: -?? contacted corporate to file complaint. Since I filed in December 2024, which is 13 months after purchasing vehicle, I was told I don't qualify for Illinois lemon law buyback option. One month too late"! dangerous and annoying problems, and I'm stuck dealing with this" my vehicle is a death trap!
