My car stalls while in motion without warning. While driving the vehicle will randomly speed up and rpm will fly up without command. I also experience a lot of engine power loss randomly the vehicle will bog and be slow. Occasionally when I press on the accelerator I can almost go to the floor with no response from the vehicle. Speed acceleration response is delayed approximately 30 seconds occasionally. Uncommanded acceleration and random stalling when vehicle is in motion has been a big safety risk for me. This issue has been ongoing for awhile. This issue has occurred countless times so it’s very frequent. This complaint is in compliance with the current open investigation regarding the throttle control system vulnerabilities. NHTSA Action Number: DP21003

IN MAY 2014 WHILE UTILIZING THE CRUISE CONTROL,APPLYING THE BRAKES DID NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL EVEN WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS BRAKING TO DECREASE SPEED AS WE WERE ENTERING BASTROP, TX ON HWY 71. IT TOOK US BY SURPRISE, AND MY HUSBAND FINALLY MANAGED TO BRING THE CAR UNDER CONTROL BY PRESSING THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR, AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. ON SUNDAY, NOV. 27, 2016, WE WERE USING THE CRUISE CONTROL WHILE WE WERE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON HWY 79 APPROACHING HEARNE, TX. THE CAR IN FRONT OF US SLOWED, AND MY HUSBAND BRAKED TO SLOW DOWN AS WELL, BUT IT SEEMED THAT THE CAR ACTUALLY SPED UP. HE LOOKED DOWN TO BE SURE THAT HE HIT THE BRAKE AND NOT THE ACCELERATOR. BY THE TIME HE LOOKED UP, WE WERE ABOUT TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. HE HIT THE BRAKES HARDER, AND THE CAR SEEMED TO SPEED UP AGAIN. MY HUSBAND SWERVED TO THE LEFT TO AVOID HITTING CAR IN FRONT OF US, BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE NEXT TO US IN THE LANE TO OUR LEFT. FORTUNATELY, THE DRIVERS OF THE OTHER VEHICLES MANAGED TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT AND TO THE LEFT SO THAT WE HAD ROOM TO PASS BETWEEN THE TWO VEHICLES. OUR BRAKES WERE SQUEALING, BUT THE CAR WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN. FINALLY MY HUSBAND MANAGED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD SO THAT WE COULD COLLECT OUR COMPOSURE. I RETURNED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER IN ROUND ROCK ON NOVEMBER 29. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. I KNOW THAT HYUNDAI AND KIA HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR DEFECTIVE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCHES ON OTHER MODELS, MODEL YEARS, AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THE SAME TYPE ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. IT IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE, AND I THINK THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD FIX THIS AGAIN ON MY VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON NARROW 2 LANE ROAD.,MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND SHOT ACROSS THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF ONCOMING LANE..THANKFULLY NO CAR WAS COMING TOWARD ME.AT THE TIME. I MANAGED TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL, BUT WAS TERRIFIED THINKING WHAT IF A CAR HAD BEEN COMING UP TOWARD ME. THIS HAPPENED SOMETIME IN SUMMER OF 2013. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST A FLUKE UNTIL TODAY WHEN I WAS READING ABOUT CHRYSLER AUTOS HAVING SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I DECIDED TO CHECK TO SEE IF ANY HYUNDAI CARS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THAT INDEED THERE HAD BEEN A CASE REPORTED. NOW, I AM VERY UNEASY DRIVING MY CAR, AND ESPECIALLY SINCE MY 19 YR OLD ALSO DRIVES IT. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RECALL TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. I HAVE ALSO EMAIL THE HYUNDAI CORP. TO INFORM THEM ALSO OF MY EXPERIENCE. I CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT TO DIE OR HAVE ANY ONE ELSE KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS. WOULD LIKE TO SEE HYUNDAI RECALL THESE CARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

3AQ23002 · Hyundai And Kia Abs Module Fires
Opened Nov 17, 2023 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:antilock/traction Control/electronic Limited Slip:control Unit/module
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received eight Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) and eight Kia America, Inc. (Kia) Part 573 Recall Reports between 2016 and 2023. The combined 16 safety recalls all involve the antilock braking system (ABS) modules or Hydraulic Electronic Control Units (HECU) manufactured by the equipment supplier Mando. The Part 573 Recall Reports contain varying defect descriptions and differing remedy descriptions for the same or similar equipment supplied by Mando. Safety recalls included in this Audit Query (AQ) review include: Hyundai recalls 20V-520, 20V-543, 21V-161, 21V-160, 21V-303, 22V-056, 22V-810, and 23V-651. Kia recalls 16V-815, 20V-518, 20V-519, 21V-137, 21V-331, 22V-051, 22V-800, and 23V-652 The purpose of this AQ is to evaluate the timeliness and scoping of Hyundai and Kia’s defect decision making and adherence with reporting requirements; and understand the varying defect descriptions and remedies between these recalls.
DP21003 · Throttle Control System Vulnerabilities
Opened Nov 12, 2021 · Closed Jun 20, 2023
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Vehicle Speed Control:throttle
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received a petition letter dated October 10, 2021, requesting an investigation of possible defects in the electronic throttle control (ETC) system on certain Kia vehicles resulting in the opening of DP21-003. Accordingly, Model Year (MY) 2005-2016 Kia Optima/K5, MY 2006-2015 Kia Sorento, MY 2007-2016 Hyundai Elantra, MY 2007-2016 Hyundai Santa Fe, MY 2006-2015 Hyundai Sonatas are all part of the subject population. The petition was originally filed as a Vehicle Owner Questionnaire that can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under reference (ODI) number 11439675.On November 12, 2021, ODI opened Defect Petition DP21-003 to evaluate the petitioner?s request. ODI performed trend analyses of the VOQs related to vehicle speed control issues for all the subject vehicles and found that none of the 52 Model/Model Year Hyundai/Kia vehicles demonstrated any actionable trend that warranted an investigation.Petitioners submitted 1119 VOQs and non-VOQ cases in which sudden uncommanded acceleration (SUA) or loss of motive power (LOMP) incidents were alleged.For the 1119 reports, 220 were incidents involving crashes, from which 69 subject Hyundai-Kia vehicles were inspected by Hyundai/Kia dealer technicians, Hyundai/Kia engineers, and/or third-party representatives.ODI found the inspections identified no vehicle defects related to the ETC system.Of the 220 crash-involved reports, 13 Event Data Recorder (EDR) records were downloaded successfully and 11 of those indicated driver error: (i.e.) pedal misapplication.A condition where the accelerator pedal is mistakenly applied instead of the brake pedal when the driver wants to stop the vehicle.In addition, ODI reviewed a scientific journal paper published in Forensic Science International in 2016 by Mr. Park et al ., as well as related test videos. ODI does not believe there is any evidence of uncontrollable SUA occurrences in any of the tests reviewed. NHTSA's Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance (OVSC) reviewed the allegations regarding the potential noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 124.Based on the information provided, the Agency concludes there is insufficient information for us to determine if a possible non-compliance exists.Finally, both Hyundai and Kia informed ODI that all their vehicles manufactured after 2012 were equipped with an ETC management system, in which the engine speed will go to idle when the system sees signals from both the brake pedal and accelerator pedal at the same time; this is commonly known as the brake-throttle override system.After thoroughly assessing the material submitted by the petitioner, information already in NHTSA's possession, information submitted by Hyundai and Kia in response to an Information Request letter, and the potential risks to safety implicated by the petitioner's allegation, NHTSA does not believe that a formal investigation is warranted. After full consideration of appropriate factors, the petition is denied. A Federal Register Notice (FRN) further detailing NHTSA?s reasons for denial of the petition will be published.
