What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The valve over eventually leaks oil that drips down on to the alternator. This cause the electrical system to fail, the battery and brake lights come on. Then slowly all lights come on as battery shuts down. This is a known issue with this engine.
Vehicle in motion and van out of control related to the corrosion of control arm. Children (3) in the car. Recalled 2007 and 2008 vehicles! Why not mine? Live in nebraska with salt-infested roads and this van has many issues! My vin number not associated with the recall which is completely unfair.
However, before she could remove her seat belt, the van lunged forward with such speed, we were both screaming in shock. It smashed thru the garage door lunged with such force tearing down the closet in the back of the garage, running over lawn mower and power tools, and smashing everything in its path.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 hyundai entourage. The contact stated that while the driver attempted to park with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle independently accelerated causing the contact to crash into the residence. A police report was not filed.
Air bags did not deploy. I have had previous problems with the air bag light staying on and dealer service stated that it was from low voltage. Replaced battery at that time.
The air bags did not deploy. The driver and passenger were injured and transported to the hospital. A police report was filed. The manufacturer stated that they would send someone to inspect the vehicle.
The airbags didn't deploy but the light for the airbags is on. Possibly indicating they did deploy but didn't. We think this could be all electrical. Someone for hyundai motor america will be out to look at the van in 45 days. We would like the van totaled. Due to not feeling safe with the airbags.
