Rear ended another car and emergency brake never went on. Got a beeping noise after the car in front of me was hit.

Horn keeps going out in my 23 Hyundai venue. 3rd time from owning the car since march 2023

The original horn failed after about a year and 15,000 miles. Replaced with dealer and new horn failed after about 6 months and 7,000 miles. Only realized after having to avoid a collision and being unable to use my horn. Having a faulty horn could be a factor in a collision, if a vehicle starts to merge into me without me having a way to avoid the collision other than alerting the other driver. The dealership replaced the first horn which was under warranty. No lights or indicators that this system had failed.
The body panel below the left front turn signal has cracked and is getting larger in size due to the thermal dynamics of expansion and contraction. The car is currently under its original bumper-to-bumper warranty and was noticed and reported to Hyundai at 41K miles (the original bumper-to-bumper warranty is for 5 years and 60K…

The body panel below the left front turn signal has cracked and is getting larger in size due to the thermal dynamics of expansion and contraction. The car is currently under its original bumper-to-bumper warranty and was noticed and reported to Hyundai at 41K miles (the original bumper-to-bumper warranty is for 5 years and 60K miles). Hyundai's warranty includes an anti-perforation warranty, and since the body panel now has a crack exposing the interior of the engine compartment, the item is warrantable. But, Hyundai is refusing to cover it at this point in time. This is in contradiction to their own warranty, which they claim is the best in the automotive industry. If their warranty is that good, then WHY is it so difficult for them to cover this body panel crack?

Since the purchase date, the vehicle has experienced electrical and mechanical issues. Initial problems with the driver-side keyless entry were resolved, but persistent malfunctioning of the passenger window (and at times, other windows) has not been successfully rectified despite multiple repair attempts. Furthermore, during a recent visit to ALM Hyundai for an incident where the engine sputtered and nearly shut off multiple times, the dealership indicated there was no cause for concern. However, I remain apprehensive as this issue could be related to the ongoing electrical and mechanical problems with the vehicle, even without the presence of a check engine light. A recent inspection revealed an oil leak, which was never previously identified or addressed by ALM Hyundai during routine servicing. These unresolved issues raise serious concerns about the vehicle's safety and reliability. Attempts to Resolve: Despite numerous attempts to contact ALM Hyundai's service department and Hyundai corporate customer service, my concerns have not been adequately addressed. Hyundai's proposed solution of paying two car payments in exchange for waiving my rights to warranty or lemon law claims is unacceptable and fails to acknowledge the ongoing issues with the vehicle. I have requested my complete repair history from Hyundai, but the records provided by ALM Hyundai are incomplete. A Carfax report indicates additional service visits that are not reflected in the dealership's paperwork I received upon request. I have since made numerous attempts requesting my repair records and have failed to receive them. I feel as if there is a possible violation of UTPA and my consumer rights at this point.

While driving home from a trip , the car suddenly lost power . and engine light came on an then transmission light overheating light came on . I was near a town pulled over and had car towed to nearest Hyundai dealer. after waiting a week they finally looked at the vehicle, and said that mice had eaten the transmission electrical harness. Days later they repaired the damage, their was only 6000 miles on the car, but it was not covered under the warranty because mice had eaten the wirers. After I researched , the vehicle ,I found out the the wiring they used was made with a soy based coating plant based.THis apparently is not the first time this has been reported to the manufacture. To add to my problems they replaced the same wiring harness back into the car. On the bill I received they charged me 398.20 dollars. Also on the bill it states,that any warranties are only guarantied by manf,and hyundai disclaims any responsibility. Hyundai placed these same wring harness back in the vehicle knowing this is a real problem and danger to drivers.They basically are putting an all you can eat buffet for all rodents.This is a dangerous condition where the vehicle could shut down at any time.

I was going to work, dropping my one year old off at his grandparents on the way. My purse (with my spare key) along with the rest of my belongings were dumped into the front passenger seat after I unlocked my car. Unfortunately, I also placed my main set in the seat in order to buckle up the kiddo. I was wearing a dress with no pockets. I shut my front passenger door, opened the rear passenger door and finished up the car seat wrangle. I then shut his door, and every door on the vehicle clicked shut in the auto locking mechanism. My adrenaline and panic were instantaneous. I work in health care and I know how quickly closed cars become death traps for babies. The car was not on, and my intention was to be in the driver seat 5 seconds later with the AC blasting. I live in the country, my closest neighbors were gone, all of my means of outside communication were in the car, my husband was at work and within two minutes my baby started crying. I immediately grabbed a rock from my garden and broke the driver side rear vent window. No harm was done to my baby, he ate a snack and took a nap afterwards. I got the smallest cut ever on my hand, none of it hit him during the smash. Window repair is 475 through safelight, insurance wanted a 1k deductible so I skipped out on a claim. I spoke to Hyundai Cares and after I explained the situation I was asked why I was upset that I had locked my own baby in the car. The problem is that I didn't lock him in the car - the car locked him in the car. My vehicle has seat sensors and reminds me to grab my passenger from the back seat when I park. I get seat belt reminders due to weight sensors in the front passenger seat when I travel with my dog. In my eyes, the car was fully aware the front was empty, two fobs were in the car, and the back was occupied.
