What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel would vibrate without warning, causing her to lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the service mechanics could not duplicate the failure.
When the dealership first inspected it, they said it was the sunroof seal and would take several days to repair. Since the part wasn’t covered under warranty, I wasn’t offered a loaner and couldn’t be without a car.
When the car is started, the radio screen sometimes stays off. When this happens, the only way to resolve it is to shut off the car, open the door, and then restart the car. This issue occurs randomly, and when it does, there is no rear-view camera available, which poses a significant safety risk.
Twice in the last year (2/23/23 and 1/17/24), the horn has failed and when trying to have the dealer and manufacturer diagnosed the issue, they give me the runaround has been taking it into the dealer. They are unable to replicate the issue.
The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. Additionally, there was an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the fuel cap, but the failure persisted.
I saw a recall on certain Hyundai models...I have a similar problem maybe twice with this 2022 Hyundai Venue....Traveling down the highway with Cruise set at 65...The car started to accelerate to 80 before I turn the cruise off...don't know if it's something wrong with the cruise...or just 2 mishaps .....just asking…
Hyundai issued a recall on 06/27/22 to repair part of the seat belt pretensioner, and they continue to send reminders to have the repair. However, they are out of the required part and according to dealers they will not give an ETA for delivery of the part.
The gas door will not open when the lever is pulled. My safety is put at risk because if i was running out of gas, I would not be able to put gas in the car. Thank God I was not out of town. I have to take a plastic fork or knife, slide it in the crevice and then pull the lever inside the car. yes. yes.
