VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND SAW GLASS FLY FROM MY CAR IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND SAW THAT MY SUNROOF GLASS PANEL HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED, LEAVING A HOLE ABOUT A FOOT IN DIAMETER. THERE WAS NO OBJECT THAT HIT MY CAR. I HAD MY SUNROOF COVER CLOSED; I WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AND LIKELY TO CAUSE A WRECK IF IT HAD BEEN LEFT OPENED.

AIR BAGS
AFTER STARTING THE IGNITION, THE RED "AIR BAG" LIGHT NEAR ODOMETER STAYS LIT. ORANGE "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT STAYS LIT EVEN WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THESE LIGHTS REMAIN ON REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. I HAD THIS PROBLEM ONCE BEFORE A FEW YEARS AGO. THE DEALER REMOVED THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SENT IT OFF TO BE FIXED. THE ISSUE ALSO HAPPENS PERIODICALLY IF SOMETHING GETS STUCK UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE WIRES AND CONNECTORS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT ARE EXPOSED. HOWEVER, THIS TIME THERE IS NOTHING STUCK UNDER THE SEAT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHTS REMAIN ON.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
A LOT OF TIMES THAT I AM DRIVING, EITHER PULLING OFF OR WHEN IM AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED AND PUSH GAS TO GAIN MORE SPEED (AS IF GOING AROUND TURN), THE ESC LIGHT WILL COME ON AND MY CAR WILL SHAKE AS IT IDLES. THE GAS PEDAL STOPS WORKING WHEN THIS ,LIGHT COMES ON AND WHEN I PUSH ON THE BRAKES, THEY ARE HARD. AS MY CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT SHAKES THE ENTIRE TIME. THEN WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF, IT SOMETIMES GOES AWAY BUT IT SOMETIMES STAYS ON AND MY CAR WON'T MOVE. BUT IT HAPPENS A LOT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I ALWAYS HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART IT. IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND ONE TIME GETTING ONTO THE INTERSTATE. BEING A FEMALE AND HAVING THIS PROBLEM AT NIGHT IS SCARY. IT STARTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO AND HAS BEEN DOING IT A LOT WITHIN THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
NUMEROUS ISSUES FROM ALMOST DAY ONE WITH THIS CAR. 1) WITHIN LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE, PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WAS COMING ON EVEN WITH SOMEONE WEIGHING WELL OVER 100 LBS IN SEAT. DEALERSHIP BRUSHED IT OFF AS 'SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT INCORRECTLY'. THE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR SO LONG, WITH THE DEALERSHIPS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING, THAT WE FEEL IT EVENTUALLY BURNED OUT. 2) ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON VERY EARLY IN OWNERSHIP AS WELL AND DEALERSHIPS REFUSED TO RESOLVE. HAD TO HAVE FUEL SYSTEM REPLACED AT ONE POINT BECAUSE CAR COMPLETELY DIED WHILE DRIVING WITH PLENTY OF FUEL. 3) REPLACE HEADLAMPS, BRAKE LAMPS, AND TAG LAMPS ON A REGULAR BASIS. ON AT LEAST A MONTHLY BASIS WE ARE REPLACING 1 OR 2 LIGHTS. WE'VE BEEN PULLED OVER NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE A LIGHT HAS FAILED. 4) DRIVER DOOR AUTOMATIC LOCK NO LONGER WORKS. 5) AIRBAG LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE CAME ON AROUND 2013 OR 2014 AND REMAINS ON. 6) PASSENGER SIDE VISOR DOESN'T STAY UP WHEN NOT IN USE. DRIVER SIDE VISOR IS STARTING TO DO THE SAME. 7) PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT CONSTANTLY FLASHES EVEN WHEN SEAT IS EMPTY.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, VISIBILITY/WIPER
BOTH OF MY VISORS HAVE NEVER STAYED UP, THEY ARE ALWAYS DOWN IN MY LINE OF VISION THIS PROBABLY STARTED 6 MONTHS AFTER I HAD THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY STATED IT WAS NOT COVERED. A FEW YEARS BACK THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND IS STILL ON. THE PASSENGERS AIR BAG COMES ON AND GOES OFF REGULARLY. MY BACK BREAK LIGHTS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACES SEVERAL TIMES, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THEM. AGAIN THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO REPLACE THEM AFTER MY HUSBAND HAD JUST REPLACED THEM. THERE ARE SO MANY PARTS THAT ARE FALLING APART. THE GEAR SHIFT HAS BROKEN AND THE BACK HANDLES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR ARE BROKEN. MY BRAKES ROTATE AND THE WHOLE CARE SHAKES WHEN I PRESS ON THE BREAKS ON THE FREEWAY. NOW MY BACK END IS MAKING NOISES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW , BUT WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM HYUNDAI AGAIN, THIS IS THE WORST CAR I HAVE EVER HAD. FROM THE BEGINNING I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS AND THE DEALER NEVER WANTED TO FIX ANYTHING UNLESS I PAYED FOR IT. I AM NOT PAYING FOR THINGS THAT I DID NOT BREAK. .
