AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
The Abs brakes and traction control go in and out and affects the brakes while driving, I know there been reports of fire but for some reason my car is not in the recall, same thing with the air bags lights come on showing faulty air bags and on scanner tools but not recalled even though Hyundai knows about these issues. Now for engine I went to have my engine looked at 2 times for oil consumption and all they did was a combustion chamber cleaning twice which both failed in less the 8100 miles so when I took it back for another oil consumption test for the 3rd time today, the engine light came on, it started knocking, lost power and riding rough. Well, they did an engine scanner test and suspect faulty rings allowing oil into the combustion chamber and fouling my new sparks plugs that was installed less then 10000 miles ago, now they tell me I need a new engine and refuse to replace it for free even though they said they fixed the problem before with the engine cleaning now the same part is the problem and now, I am without a car to drive! They tell me I can lose power while driving which could lead to a car accident.

AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
Airbag warning light activated on vehicle on or around August 15th of this year. Vehicle was in normal operating condition, and had not been involved in any accident. Vehicle was taken to Hyundai dealer for service. Dealer diagnosed issue as failed driver's side airbag. Airbag replacement was required at owner expense, not covered under manufacturer warranty (as confirmed with the manufacturer). I am concerned as consumer that the standard safety equipment of the vehicle failed under normal operating conditions, requiring expensive repair in order for consumer to restore safety of the driver. Vehicle has been repaired at dealership and can be made available for inspection if desired.

Potential Consequences:
On or about August 13 2022, I notice the oil engine light come for a second, then it went off. After parking vehicle at my home and letting the engine cool off a bit and oil to settle, I checked dipstick only to find out that is was showing DRY no oils whatsoever, I then bought 1 qt of oil and added it to engine still dip stick showed dry and not a drop of oil on it. With still 3,000 miles to go before my next oil change, I decided to take it to PepBoys for a new oil change. After one week dip stick was showing oil on the low side and this time the metal on the stick showed whiteish, like it had been over heated. after this decided to take it to dealership GOSH HYUNDAI In Hemet 92545. I was told it would take 2 days to do some checks and get it ready for an oil consumption test. That is drive vehicle 1000 miles then take it in for another inspection (hopefully 1 day) then getting it back, drive another 1000 miles, then take back for another inspection. Being this my only Vehicle at this time, I am not sure why it takes so long to figure this out. OH did I mention Hyundai headquarters (I'm guessing) has to approve the oil consumption test, otherwise I am out a vehicle and have to pay for repairs. Not too mention the brake fluid reservoir is doing the exact same thing, fluid is being completely replaced every month to month and a half, by replace I mean adding a full reservoir worth of fluid because it seems to be evaporating. I am on the the third time adding fluid to this vehicle after GOSH Hyundai worked on my brakes (10000 miles a go). But this one I will have to pay 165 dollars for them to check it out. Nothing was said about me paying for engine oil issue check, plus they had me sign a affidavit to make sure I was the only owner on vehicle witch I am...So now the waiting game begins and to wait until someone makes a decision about fixing this issues?!!

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
It’s has taken 15,279 miles, 8 months, 8 oil consumption tests, a shitty service provider, service provider minions doing his job, worried everyday driving around my car that the engine would fail, set on fire or the engine would sputter and die on the freeway; to today being told they would have my vehicle 4-6 hours to do a complete engine walk through. Thank god I hadn’t left the lot 45 minutes after dropping off my vehicle getting called and told they will need my vehicle for 12 hours!!! I asked to see the higher up manager today; (who didn’t haven time to show his face) but could clearly get me a brand new 2022 Hyundai Tucson with 4600 miles on it for rental. Hyundai do better! I’ve played the game, now it’s time to fix my vehicle that is your duty under the 100k miles power train warranty. I have personally noted each event since March 2nd when I realized this was going south

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The electronic power steering sporadically fails. This has happened 3 time in the last two months. The frequency of occurrences are now closer. When this happens the car is almost impossible to steer, it would be unsafe to attempt to operate the car on a public road. The majority of the time when this happens it's when the car is started (regardless if the vehicle is cold or warm). It did happen once while the car was moving at approximate 45 mph. Turning the car off and back on will stop the problem. A warning light on the dash appears when the problem happens. We unsuccessfully tried to recreate the problem so it can be diagnosed from the dealer. The dealer stated in conversation that is difficult if not impossible to diagnose a problem when it is not occurring.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The oil light would blink on, then go back offstarting abiut 7/15/22. We checked the oil, but it was fine. This happened for about 2wks, w/ the light never staying on or staying on & flashing. However, the oil consumption started increasing, needing more oil each time, but no indication of a leak. Then the check engine light started flashing & car went into limp mode w/engine knocking. This happened suddenly in traffic, which could have caused a wreck d/t sudden loss of power & inability to reach speed of surrounding vehicles. At this time, the oil light was not present, but 3qt of oil needed to be added in order to limp the car home. This was 7/39/22. Computer check gave code 1326. Engine failure seems immenent. Vehicle is available for inspection request. The issue has not been confirmed by dealer, but we have seen similar complaints on YouTube.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
As I was turning my car into a parking spot the steering locked up on me. I tried to turn the wheel left and right and I simply couldn't do it at all. I turned the vehicle off and turned it back on after a few seconds and it seemed to fix itself. It's been 1 day since this incident happened and I'm afraid it could happen again. Luckily I wasn't on a highway or I could've been seriously injured!
