What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The airbags did not deploy, the entire third row collapsed up to the second row. My vehicle sustained front, rear and side impact with no airbag deployment.
The radar cruise control was slowing me down, keeping up with the car in front. Another driver suddenly cut in front of me from the far left lane. The cruise slammed on the brakes. Within seconds he took a hard right to catch an exit ramp.
On multiple occasions we have noticed that when driving at slow speeds (less than 25 miles per hour) and if the road is slightly uneven, gravel, on an incline or decline, the brake pedal start to vibrate and there is loss of control and increased stopping distance.
10 mph), my vehicle: - Began pulsing/jerking, consistent with ABS engaging. No matter how hard I pressed the brake my car would not stop it's kept pulsing - alerts and Beeping with a forward collision warning went off - car Lurched/jumped forward rather than stopping smoothly.
My vehicle started to vibrate and keep going. It did nit stop right away it way like it was just skiding. My vehicle has done this before but this time it did not stop quick enough to avoid hitting the vehicle in front t of me I have notified [dealer] and after doing research I have found Hyundai is awRe of an issue…
The air bags failed to deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was totaled. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Could the seatbelt not work properly? I have reached out repeatedly to have an inspection done and received no assistance. I can’t pay out of pocket right now for an inspection of the vehicle seats and safety belts. I have photo documentation of my concerns.
