ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THIS BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER 2020. I WOULD PULL OVER AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD BE FINE AND LIGHT WOULD BE OFF. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND THEN ON A LONG DISTANCE TRIP I SHIFT IT OFF AND IT TOOK ABOUT15-20 MINUTES TO RESTART. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE RELAY ASSEMBLY AND THAT IT WAS A RECALL. IT HAD COMPLETELY MELTED THE CASING AROUND MY BATTERY. THEY REPLACED IT FOR FREE IN OCTOBER. NOW IN JANUARY IT HAS STARTED THE SAME THING. I WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER HYUNDAI. THIS CAR HAS HAD MORE PROBLEMS THAN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD THAT HAS 300,000 MILES ON IT. AND MY HYUNDAI ONLY HAS 84,000. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
AT ABOUT 58K MILES I STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN I TURNED THE TURN SIGNAL TO INDICATE A LEFT TURN THE RIGHT BLINKER WOULD COME ON AND THEN AFTER A MOMENT SWITCH TO THE LEFT OR NOT SWITCH AT ALL. THIS WAS TOTALLY RANDOM. I TRIED TO CAPTURE IT ON CAMERA TO SHOW MY LOCAL DEALER BEFORE THE 60K WARRANTY RAN OUT BUT I COULD NEVER CAPTURE IT BECAUSE IT WAS SO RANDOM AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE IT. OVER THE LAST YEAR THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE WHERE NEARLY EVERY TIME I USE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL THE RIGHT SIGNAL WILL TURN ON INSTEAD. THE LAST TIME MY CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE I MENTIONED IT AGAIN AND TOLD THEM I THINK THEY CAN REPLICATE THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY TIME NOW. WHEN I INDICATE A LEFT SIGNAL AND THE RIGHT SIGNAL COMES ON OTHER CARS THINK I AM MERGING INTO THEM WHILE MY SIGNAL IS STUCK. THE SIGNAL STOCK SEEMS TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE SENDING THE CORRECT SIGNAL TO THE LIGHTS. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE AND I HOPE IT DOES NOT CAUSE ACCIDENTS AS THE SIGNALS BECOME STUCK. THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE SPEED.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT STARTED KNOCKING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 55MPH. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I FOUND OUT THE CAR HAD RAN OUT OF OIL. I DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR WORK AND IT HAS REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE. HOWEVER, WHEN THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF OIL, IT DID NOT NOTIFY THAT THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE OR OIL LEVEL. THE CARS 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT DID NOT INDICATE THE ENGINE WAS HAVING ISSUES, AFTER THE KNOCKING STARTED. NOR DID IT INDICATE IT WAS LOW OR OUT OF OIL. THE CAR JUST WORKED ONE DAY AND DID NOT THE NEXT. THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER ASSUMED SOME LIABILITY, BUT NOT ALL. THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED THE DRIVER, THAT IT WAS LOW ON OIL. IT'S EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR A VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF OIL DURING OPERATION. I ALSO SUBSCRIBE TO A REMOTE VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM AND I PAY MONTHLY TO THE MANUFACTURER. THAT SYSTEM ALSO DID NOT KNOW THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW OR OUT OF OIL. IT DID NOT INDICATE ANY ISSUES UNTIL THE SHOP REPAIRS THE ENGINE. *TR
