ENGINE
At 103,000 miles my engine had a catastrophic failure. My car threw a code for P0014 and the only thing was a possible cam position sensor. The engine threw a rod while driving with no warning. After checking online for complaints similar to this I found that the engines on the 2017 model wer failing the same as the 2014 which they were recalled for and engines replaced. Why this year model has not been recalled yet is beyond understanding.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I bought my car in 2019 with about 18k miles. My paint started peeling off of my hood and my roof at the beginning of 2021 at 40k miles. Hyundai pretty much told me too bad so sad since I was over 36,000 miles. I have paid to have it fixed multiple times and the paint is still peeling off. I am unable to wash my car without my paint flaking off. I even vinyl wrapped my roof myself to keep the paint from peeling more and rusting. There is discoloration where the paint has peeled off. I read online that if the vehicle rust the Hyundai will fix it however they refused to return my numerous calls and emails and voicemails to the supervisor at Jim click Hyundai in Tucson.

My car was stolen because Hyundai manufacturers have made them easy to break into and start without a key (there is currently a lawsuit going on for Hyundais/Kias). My car was stolen during daylight hours even though it was locked with no valuables inside and parked in the open. I should feel safe parking my car, but even if I get it back, I don't know that I ever will again.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Tens of thousands of Hyundai's and Kia's are being stolen in under 2 minutes due to a design flaw Hyundai and Kia engineers failed to address. With a quick removal of steering column cover and a USB male end, thieves can steal your vehicle. This puts the public and law enforcement at risk as these thieves flee from police at high rates of speed and use these stolen Kia's and Hyundai's to commit other crimes.
