SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR HAS A SAFETY DEFECT WHERE IN BETWEEN THE BREAK PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATION PEDAL ABOVE THE TOP PART OF THE PEDALS IS A BOWED THIN PIECE OF METAL SEPARATING THE PEDALS. WHILE WEARING CERTAIN SHOES OR HAVING TO BREAK IN A FAST MANOR THIS RESTRICT FOOT MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE BREAK AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND CAN CAUSE YOUR SHOE TO BECOME WEDGED IN BETWEEN ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS DESIGN RESTRICTS MOVEMENT OF THE DRIVERS RIGHT FOOT TO GET ACCESS TO THE BREAK. THIS ISSUE OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND CAN HAPPEN ON ANY STREET WHILE DRIVING.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
I BOUGHT A 2018 HYUNDAI GT SPORT 3 MONTHS AGO. SINCE DAY ONE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING AND HAVING A HARD TIME STARTING. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 75MPH AND THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF NO WARNING. I CALLED THE DEALER IN MY AREA LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THE STARTING ISSUES AND THE STALLING ISSUES WITH THE CAR I TOOK IT IN TO THEM FEW DAYS LATER. THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 DAYS AND TOLD ME SORRY WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU. TOOK IT HOME AND THAT DAY THE CAR STALLED ON MY WAY HOME. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD IT FOR 23 DAYS AND REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND THE INJECTION SYSTEM AND STILL DID NOT WORK. THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM REPLACED THE BATTERY, KEYS STARTER AND ALTERNATOR BEFORE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY DID NOT TELL ME THIS CAR WAS HAVING ISSUES. THE CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALER 3/7/2019 WITH STALLING ISSUES AND RUST BUILD UP ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. I HAVE A CASE WITH HYUNDAI AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER 4 DEALERS LATER AND NOTHING.CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FLASHING ONE DAY BUT WENT OFF AND NO CODES FOUND. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 21/2 MONTHS CAR IS OUT OF SERVICE NOW FOR A TOTAL OF 26 DAYS NOW INCLUDING THE DAYS ITS BEEN AT THE CURRENT DEALER.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE AEB SYSTEM DOES NOT SHOW ANY WARNINGS OR ATTEMPT TO STOP THE CAR. I DO NOT DRIVE AROUND TRYING TO MAKE THIS FEATURE WORK BUT AFTER GETTING THE NEW CAR I DID REALIZE IT WAS NOT DETECTING ANYTHING WHILE MY OTHER CAR DETECTS AND STOPS FINE IN THE SAME SCENARIO. I HAVE GONE TO THE HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR ABOUT THIS AS WELL AS SUBMITTED A CASE WITH HYUNDAI CORPORATE. CORPORATE RESPONSE WAS: GO BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER AGAIN AND TELL THEM WHAT MY CONCERN IS (AGAIN). SO, I DID. HYUNDAI SAYS THEY WILL NOT TEST THE ISSUE AND SINCE THE COMPUTER SAYS THERE IS NO ISSUE... THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE FEATURE. I HAVE MADE A VIDEO OF THIS ISSUE AND POSTED TO HYUNDAI FACEBOOK AND GOT NO RESPONSE. I AM CONCERNED AS WELL AS FRUSTRATED WITH THE LACK OF ATTENTION FROM HYUNDAI FOR THIS SAFETY FEATURE ON MY CAR. I HAVE READ THE MANUAL, CONFIRMED THE SETTINGS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS FEATURE TO WORK AND IT SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK ON MY CAR AND FOR HYUNDAI TO TELL ME THEY WILL NOT TEST IT AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SAYS THEIR IS NO PROBLEM IS SAD.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY CAR, WITH LESS THAN 4K, HAS A "SPONTANEOUS" WINDSHIELD CRACK THAT IS LARGE, LONG AND TRAVELS ACROSS MY LINE OF VISION WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. NOTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD, IT IS PARKED IS LOCKED GARAGE AND I DID NOT DRIVE OVER ROUGH TERRAIN, HIT A POTHOLE, DRIVE UNDER ANY BRIDGES OR PARK UNDER A TREE. I DIDN'T DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY EITHER. I JUST GOT IN MY CAR AND THERE IT WAS! THIS CRACK IS GROWING IN LENGTH AND I HAVE NOTICED SOME BLACK, FOAM TRIM CURLING UP ALONG THE EDGE OF WHERE THE WINDSHIELD MEETS THE HOOD. THERE IS NO VISIBLE POINT OF CONTACT THAT I CAN SEE, NO CHIPS, NO STAR BURST CHIP - JUST SMOOTH ON THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF CAR. THERE IS ALSO SOME STRANGE SPLATTER MARKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOW AS IF A SMALL CARBONATED BEVERAGE WAS SHAKEN UP. OPENED & SPRAYED ON IT BUT THE SPOTS ARE HARD & CAN'T BE EASILY SCRAPED OFF. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY WILL REPLACE IT AS I DO BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.
