What owners report
I was driving home tonight and while driving the car lost all power on the full screen and headlights. This is the second report of the same problem. It was like a blackout at two o clock in the morning. I couldnât see the speed and the lights went out. It did come back on in immediately.
On July 17, I took my vehicle to Hyundai of Venice due to a safety recall of the automated emergency brake, the dealership told me that they had fixed the recall. On October 10 when I returned for service, I again notified them that the safety features such as the automated emergency brake and the Forward collision warning were not working. They ignored me again. Then on October 21, 2026, I was driving my mother to run an errand before her doctors appointment as I was pulling into a parking spot going no more than 3 mph. The safety features were still not working and I scratched the vehicle on the left of me which was empty. I then stopped the car, got out and took pictures of the license pl
When shifting into reserve, a green screen appears. I have to put my car back in to park and then reverse to get my back up camera to start working again. It doesnât happen all the time but since my last software update, it has been happening more frequently.
Before we noticed the recall. The car had locked up I mean, locked up twice so we took it into Hyundai and they did the upgrade on the driving assist or whatever they did less than a month out of the dealership the car locked up again almost causing a car to come through the back of the car. The first time was a semi almost cleaned us out and sent us to the hospital or maybe killed us. We took the car into the dealership. They did not want to give me a car but they did through customer service and this car is unsafe to drive. Please help.
Sunroof shattered while vehicle was in motion. Glass particles were flying off the roof potentially hitting nearby vehicles. Pulled safely off the interstate and drove home safely on local highways.
