2025 Hyundai Elantra

Excessive vibration starting at 50 MPH. Its so bad that you hand becomes numb after one hour of driving. The vibration and shake gets so bad over 65 MPH that it becomes unless for a long trip. Vibration is happening on a 2025 Hyundai Elantra hybrid blue trim after 2,000 milles on a brand new vehicle purcahsed 2 months ago from Platinum Hyundai in Tracy, CA. Took it back to the same dealer twice for repairs. First they did wheel balance, and second time they did alignment. After both repair they said issue was fixed, but nothing changed, as it continues the same level of vibration over 50 MPH. Issue still presist and now Platinum Hyundai dealership in Tracy, CA says that is normal. If you are having same issue, please file complaints with NHTSA, so maybe they can do a recall on the vehicles. Hyundai Corporation of America is useless, as selling defective vehicles! THIS IS PERFECT EXAMPLE WHY I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT AMERICAN QUALITY MADE VEHICLES, instead of JUNK FROM HYUNDAI!

Component/System Involved: Driver-side rear seat back latch / locking mechanism. The rear seat back would not latch or lock in the upright position. The vehicle and seat are available for inspection upon request. Description of the Incident: During normal use of the vehicle, the driver-side rear seat back unexpectedly moved forward because it was not latched. At the time of the incident, we were not aware that the seat back would not latch or could not be secured in the upright position. The condition was discovered only after the incident occurred. Safety Risk: Because the driver-side rear seat back was not latched, the seat back or attached child seat moved forward and struck a child passenger seated in the rear. This created a serious risk of injury and represents a failure of a safety-related interior component. Confirmation / Reproduction: After the incident, attempts were made to secure the driver-side rear seat back. The seat could not be latched under any condition. A Hyundai dealership later inspected the vehicle, confirmed there was an issue, and ordered parts. A dealer representative stated on video that a component appeared to be missing. Inspections: The vehicle has been inspected by a Hyundai dealership. No collision occurred. The vehicle has not been modified. Warnings or Prior Symptoms: There were no warning lights, messages, or indicators. No prior warning or indication of the seat latch failure was known before the incident. Cause (Best Assessment): UNKNOWN. Based on post-incident inspection and dealer findings, the condition appears consistent with a defective, improperly installed, or missing rear seat latch component from the factory.

The “Consider Taking a Break” notification while driving is incredibly loud and distracting even when on the lowest setting and can repeat up to every 20’ while driving. While it is helpful to take a break on extended trips, it is not reasonable to stop that frequently. On long drives, this alert becomes nothing more than an irritant and distraction. There is no option to disable or silence this warning outside of turning off ALL safety notification sounds.I will probably do that just to avoid this notification, which compromises all of the other safety notification sounds that are far more important (ex. Lane departure, forward collision, and blind spot detection).

RE: 2025 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED AUTOMATIC BRAKE CONTROL On a recent road trip, the automatic brake system activated twice in a manner that could have put our lives at risk. The list below applies to both incidents: On a four lane interstate highway at approximately 70 mph. Wide, level median. Full daylight. Dry pavement. Unlimited visibility. Flat landscape. No objects in the median or anywhere abutting the lanes. No wind. No car for at least a mile ahead of us, none next to us. Brakes were suddenly applied by the “assist.” Brakes so violent we were pushed forward in our seatbelts. Second incident so violent and persistent I started to pull off to the side of the lane for fear of being struck from behind. In both incidents, the “assist” eventually quit. Had this happened with a semi behind us unable to slow down fast enough we could have been severely injured or killed. Apparently, the “assist” cannot be turned off for good. Since the above incidents, we did try to shut off the’”assist" but it was back in operation the next time we started the car. This situation needs to be addressed. The “assist” seemed to want to assist us into an early grave.

The car has a "take a coffee break"warning light that dings when it comes on. It will randomly go off even if you don't leave your lane or cross a line. It's distracting and sometimes will go off if you have to veer around an object in the road making you think there's some other issue that you have missed, like a car beside you or something. Other times it will go off if you're just driving down the middle of the lane but wind is shaking the car, distracting you making you think there's an actual issue. There appears to be no way to turn this "feature" off and in traffic is very distracting and could cause an accident.

The “consider taking a break” warning pops up way too frequently and cannot be disabled. It completes the exact opposite of its intended purpose, and actually is a danger to driving, as it diverts your attention away from the road. It has no maximum warnings either - so it can divert your attention and distract you every few minutes for as long as you are driving.
