LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Potential Consequences:
The lane departure system is great though it moves the wheel quite a bit. My issue is, when the vehicle is passing an intersection with active lane departure on, it pulls the vehicle toward medians and forces the driver to pull it back into the center of the lane. Active forward collision assistance has not worked when vehicles have flown by directly in front of the car. I have manually stopped the vehicle every time. The lights on the 2020 model are low, and the “top lights” are actually only turn signal or hazard lights. This has caused other drivers to assume my lights are “off” and flash their high beams at me on numerous occasions, especially when driving at night. Which impairs my vision as a driver on a consistent basis. This vehicle should have top lights… I drive quite a bit so these are consistent issues I have observed over the past year of owning this vehicle from new. Thank you!

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
Potential Consequences:
HERE IS A COPY OF MY LETTER TO HYUNDAI DESCRIBING A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW THAT RISKS DRIVER SAFETY: Dear Sirs: I've owned my Venue for just over a year, and overall I like it very much. However, I need to inform you of a major design flaw that can cause serious injuries to the occupants, or worse, cause fatalities. In a nutshell, the at-rest accelerator position is some two inches lower than the brake pedal's. This creates a gap between them, making safe braking extremely difficult. For example, rather than the natural motion of shifting my foot from the accelerator to the brake, my foot goes under the brake pedal and traps it. In order to brake, I must free my foot from the brake gap, bend my leg back, put my foot over the brake, and apply the brake. Making matters worse, on several occasions freeingmy foot from under the brake has caused me to accidentally nick the accelerator and thrust the car forward. Thank God, so far I've been lucky, but one day my luck is going to run out and the result a serious ( or fatal ) accident that would be my fault...all due to the issue I've described. According to my dealership's service department, the pedals are not adjustable, which rules out either raising the accelerator or lowering the brake pedal. I am attaching photos of the pedals. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a shot that pictured them side by side. Thank you for considering my warning seriously. I don't want any Venue driver to be harmed in any way. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THIS NEW CAR IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH INTERIOR DOME LIGHTING IN FRONT. THUS WHEN IT IS DARK, NO COURTESY LIGHT COMES ON UPON ENTRY AND IT'S HARD TO SEE WHERE TO PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF ANYONE SUSPICIOUS IS LURKING AROUND, IF YOU ARE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT NIGHT, OR IF YOU ARE LOST. THERE IS A LIGHT IN THE BACK, BUT IT IS VERY DIM AND PROVIDES NO HELP. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I NEGLECTED TO CHECK FOR IT, AS I THOUGHT THAT ALL CARS TODAY CAME EQUIPPED WITH FRONT LIGHTING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PUT ONE IN AS IT WAS NOT MANUFACTURED WITH ONE. I'M SURPRISED IT IS LEGAL TO SELL NEW CARS WITH SUCH AN IMPORTANT FIXTURE MISSING.
