Air Bags - filed 2026-10-08
My vehicle did not have any warning lights or issue lights on the dashboard at the time of crash. We were at a full stop on the highway when a car rear ended us going 50-70MPH. The driver had a broken left clavicle. No air bags deployed despite the severity of the crash.
Forward Collision Avoidance - filed 2026-09-24
Hyundai's forward collision warning light is on and won't allow me to use cruise control. I've tried cleaning the area, but still won't turn off. It did turn off for about an hour and while on the freeway using cruise control it came back on.
Service Brakes - filed 2026-09-02
Braking system failed to brake properly. It feels like even though the brakes were pressed all the way down, the car did not brake as it should. Also, the automatic collision avoidance system did not respond.

Complaints are reports filed by owners with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them, and counts rise with how many cars were sold, so compare years of the same model rather than different models. Crash ratings are NHTSA's own 5-Star Safety Ratings results.
