ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Since purchasing the car (New) I experienced issues with the horn stopped working. The dealer replaced it no charge covered under warranty. Received a notification this is a known issue and will be covered for 120,000 miles 10 years. It should09 be no limits Seems to me this is a safety issue needs to be repaired with quality parts that will not fail. I was told at the dealer ship someone is on their 15th replacement.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The passenger-side front bumper and fender liner detached during a 15 mph swerve to avoid a traffic cone on day 3 of ownership. There was a light graze with no significant impact, but approximately 2 miles later, a noise prompted a safe pull-over. The component (bumper assembly and liner clips) failed completely, with clean detachment and a missing OEM clip. The vehicle and component are available for inspection. This put safety at risk, as the detachment could affect stability during highway driving. The dealer refused a full multi-point inspection and directed me to their vendor resulting in a $1,000 repair estimate without warranty coverage. Their report falsely claimed the vehicle was taken before inspection. No manufacturer, or insurance inspection has occurred. No warning lamps, messages, or symptoms appeared prior to the failure. Best assessment: This is a manufacturing defect in assembly and materials. A properly assembled bumper should withstand a light graze without detachment; the fact that it did indicates poor quality, impairing safety and value. The unrepaired status continues the risk.

AIR BAGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Venue. The contact stated that while driving 20-22 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance, Lane Keep Assist, and Blind Spot warning lights illuminated, along with several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle to the dealer the following day, the warning lights had turned off. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the air bag control module had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer ordered the part. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 37,361.

The Driver Attention Warning. A mandatory Manufacturing component that cannot be disabled. When driving in heavy traffic at highway speed unwarranted beeps and take a break warnings appear. To be sure this is a severe distraction to drivers and a complaint in my case Hyundai is failing to respond to. It is a distraction and needs to be taken care of with software upgrades that are possible but Hyundai is unwilling to take care. No matter the environment a driver will turn his/her attention to an alarm sound distraction could prove fatal in a worse case scenario.The complaints are abundant and hopefully no deaths have occurred yet. A recall notice to correct this function that is only required in Europe would benefit thousands to hundreds of thousands of drivers through out the US.

SERVICE BRAKES
Last week I was driving my daughter’s Venue and the brakes became hard. Crunching noises. I suspected I had dropped my water bottle and perhaps it rolled under the brake pedal. It was hard to depress I heard the same crunching noises as I tried to use the brakes. Drove home 1.5 miles slowly and it continued to occur all the way. I had it towed to the dealer. Been there a week and they cannot replicate it. I mentioned I had an oil change 48 hours earlier. They said the oil had been over filled which they corrected. I contacted Jiffy Lube and they took exception to this. Idk what to do. I am nervous to drive it or return it to my daughter. Dealer wants me to pick it up. We are at an impasse.

Owner brand new since may 2023. Few months later, beginning 2024 one day notice when need to use that horn went off by it own, when to the dealership to service, after wait for about 3-4 week they replaced,. All good until 5-7 months later around October 2024 once again NOT HORN AGAIN!!. Go back to the dealer they refuse to serve because on the Hyundai system it looks like it was made an mileage alterations, No way I buy the vehicle with 50 miles and the only place servicing the car is the same dealer, they went deeper and found that the DMV mistaken put that in the title when I get the new 2024 plate sticker, the DMV found their mistakes to not charge fixed but I have to wait about 4 months to get the title that said" Corrected" when finally get that, the dealership still can't see my car until Hyundai system marker fix, in order to do that I sent everything, is July 2025 and still waiting they fix that for the dealer for second freaking TIME do the replacement of the horn. THE HORN IS A SAFETY FEATURE!!!!! THIS MUST BE A RECALL at this point and they know that because is happening to every car since 2020. Never again I will own a Hyundai,. And still today July 1th 2025 I have NOT WORKING HORN. having the car and the first replacement still both in warranty

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Blew horn at someone who cut in front of me, and horn sounded rough, then the same driver cut me off again, blew horn, NO horn. Also, headlight burnout issues. Had to replace the driver's headlight 39 weeks ago. Week or two after that, the left side went out, and about a month later, running bulb went out on passenger side. Well, the headlight just blew again, same day as the horn, just had to replace that again - $25 a pop at Auto Zone! I've read there were horn recalls on the '20-'22 models, just not on the '23...WHY!??? Electrical in windows not working as they should, very slow to stuck halfway up or down...unfortunately the only thing covered in a purchased warranty is electrical screens, radio, GPS, maps, cruise control, etc... And WHY are my headlights always burning out? Electrical issues for sure! There should be a recall on these horns for the 2023 model as well!

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My 2022 Hyundai Venue has a serious water intrusion issue that has gone unresolved for over a year. Every time it rains water pours into the cabin, especially on the passenger side leaving the floor soaked. I have to vacuum out water daily and use towels to prevent further damage. The vehicle has developed severe mold, which is a health risk, especially for my infant daughter who rides in the car. When the dealership first inspected it, they said it was the sunroof seal and would take several days to repair. Since the part wasn’t covered under warranty, I wasn’t offered a loaner and couldn’t be without a car. When I returned later, they said it likely wasn’t the sunroof after all, as there was no water damage at the top. They also said replacing the seal would be risky. After running their water tests, they claimed no water was entering the vehicle, despite clear evidence of ongoing leaks. To manage the constant water intrusion, I’ve had to regularly shop vac the car to remove standing water, line the interior with towels, and place multiple DampRid bags and buckets inside the vehicle weekly to try and reduce moisture. This has become a nearly daily routine, especially during rainy weather, and the problem continues to worsen. The interior constantly smells musty and feels unsafe for me and daughter. I am very concerned that the repeated water exposure may have damaged the electrical system or affected the airbags, especially the side airbags located in the door areas. I fear these safety systems could fail in the event of an accident. This is not an isolated problem. I have found multiple reports online of other Hyundai Venue owners experiencing the same leak in the same area. This suggests a larger factory defect that Hyundai is not addressing. See attached. I am asking NHTSA to investigate this issue, as it presents both a health and a serious safety risk. This defect should be evaluated for potential recall to protect other drivers and passengers.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Since buying this vehicle on [XXX] my horn has become completely inoperative a total of three times. I live in Georgia and a working horn is required per GA Code § 40-8-70 (2024) "Every motor vehicle when operated upon a highway shall be equipped with a horn in good working order and capable of emitting sound audible under normal conditions from a distance of not less than 200 feet..". This is not a unique problem to only my vehicle. If you go through your records I am sure you find well over a thousand such instances with Hyundai vehicles. Not having a working horn is not only illegal in Georgia put it increases the risk of getting involved in a motor vehicle accident.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Hi! A couple weeks ago i noticed the horn in my 2024 Hyundai Venue Limited was not working. My husband made an appointment to take it in to the dealership for the soonest available date which was about a couple weeks from that day. About a week later, the dashboard screen where you see the speedometer, odometer, etc. went completely black. You couldn’t see how fast you were going, how much gas is in the tank, your tire pressure, and a lot more vital information. This happened on a sunday so the dealerships were closed so I disconnected and reconnected the battery which seemed to temporarily fix the screen issue. Upon investigating online, I found numerous other people who have had the same issue with the horn as well as their screen going black. This is a safety issue because if someone is going into my lane or being a hazard on the road in general, i am unable to use my horn to get their attention which greatly increases the risk of an accident. Also, the screen randomly going black is super dangerous as well because I cannot see how fast i’m going, i can’t see if my tire pressure is low or too high, I can’t see if i need an oil change soon, and so much more. please take this seriously and look into this. thank you for your time!

The Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system on my 2024 Hyundai Venue Limited activates excessively and unpredictably when using cruise control at speeds of 70 mph or higher, particularly during night driving while I am wearing glasses. The alerts occur regularly every 30 seconds to 5 minutes, even when I am actively and safely driving (e.g., both hands on the steering wheel, maintaining focus on the road). The alert includes a loud beep and a distracting visual display with a coffee cup graphic that reads "Consider taking a break" on my instrument cluster that cannot be disabled in the vehicle settings. This creates a safety hazard because: 1. The frequent and unnecessary alerts divert my focus from the road to the DAW system. 2. The system appears to trigger when I check side or rearview mirrors, encouraging unsafe fixation on avoiding alerts rather than normal driving behavior. 3. The distraction has occurred consistently during long trips, such as those from Atlanta, GA, to Madison, MS ([XXX]), and Madison, MS, to St. Louis, MO ([XXX]), and back ([XXX]). Details of the Defect: The DAW system is overly sensitive, misidentifying normal, attentive driving as inattentive. Unlike previous Hyundai models, the system lacks an option to disable the feature entirely. There is also no ability to adjust sensitivity, and even the lowest alert volume setting of 1 is jarring and distracting while driving. The problem occurs specifically when cruise control is engaged at highway speeds, further limiting the driver’s ability to mitigate the issue. The excessive alerts reduce driver focus and increase mental fatigue, especially during nighttime driving. This could lead to an elevated risk of accidents due to distraction and divided attention. This issue impacts multiple models (2023 or newer models) and additional details can be found by searching "Hyundai aggressive DAW alert coffee". I created a case (# [XXX]) with Hyundai about this on 11/26. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5
