I was sent a letter in July regarding the current recall for the safety belt pretensioner and how it may deploy in a faulty manner and injure passengers. I received another letter today that Hyundai is "preparing to implement the safety recall remedy." It has now been almost two months and there is still no concrete plan being reported to me. I think this is an unreasonable amount of time to be waiting for a remedy to a safety problem while I drive a car that could be potentially dangerous.

Dealer has been unable to repair the recall associated with my car. I’ve been waiting for half a year for it to be repaired and dealer claims they don’t have the part available for it to be repaired. This shouldn’t take that much time.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I have had to replace my windshield from debris twice this year and have a crack filled in today. One small rock can make a crack and usually it takes a while for spidering to occur, but the Hyundai Elantra windshields are so temperature sensitive and must be super thin that over the course of one day in colder (below 50° F) and hotter (above 90° F) spidering occurs in a matter of hours. It is both a huge inconvenience to customers and a safety issue. Hyundai appear to have settled class actions on their faulty windshields in the past so I’m not surprised that this is an issue, but I want more to be done. I know it’s a small problem but to be on my 3rd windshield and only owning the car 1 year being the first owner is a huge problem to me

SERVICE BRAKES
I bought my brand new 2022 Elantra in July of 2021, the only problem I have experienced is the brakes make a sort of wailing noise. It's not a screeching noise as if the brakes need to be changed or that the rotors are worn or brake pads are low. It is not a sound I've heard brake make before and it typically makes the sound when in reverse and slow speeds. I was a mechanic in the United States Air Force for 16 year so I know a lot about mechanical issues so a year old car certainly shouldn't be making these kinds of sounds.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
The 2022 Hyundai Elantra Blue is Hyundai's entry level hybrid model, and after purchasing it about a month ago, we started experiencing 'near misses' while changing lanes and using the blinkers. While other models have a visible side mounted blinker on the right and left mirrors, they removed this important feature from the entry level model. This means there is no visible blinker on the side of the vehicle. While many vehicles have a blinker mounted on the front and rear of the vehicle with a reflector that wraps around to the side to give some visibility, Hyundai opted for small blinker lamps only visible directly at the front or rear of the vehicle. We have recorded a video at night showing the car with it's blinkers on as viewed from the side, and the only way to see that the blinkers are on is from the reflection on other surfaces. We actually tried the blinker in the daytime, and it is completely invisible when the blinker is on. The vehicle does have a blind spot warning that shows the driver when someone is in the next lane, which has been helpful. However, on a three lane freeway, we have experienced the issue where we are changing lanes at the same time as a car in the far lane, and the blind spot warning doesn't register the other vehicle until too late. Thankfully, all we've experienced so far is honking from other drivers, but we are very concerned that this may lead to an accident. I contacted Hyundai Consumer Affairs, who directed us to take the vehicle in to a dealership. When we took the vehicle in, the Hyundai Dealer rep recognized the issue, but said there was nothing they could do to take care of it since it was a design issue. We let Hyundai Consumer Affairs know what the dealership said, and they said "unfortunately the dealership would be the one to assist in the blinkers on the side mirrors. If the dealership is stating that there is nothing they can do unfortunately this would mean that your vehicle did not come equip".
