Unknown or Other · reported Oct 14, 2026

Backup camera quality has greatly degraded. Can barely make out what is behind you with camera. Afraid will hit something.

Engine · reported Sep 22, 2026

The engine coolant can leak into the exhaust because air a known design flaw. When the the engine turns on after being in electric mode the coolant pump starts and pushes it out the exhaust causing a sudden over heating of the engine. This causes the car to stall and can be very dangerous at freeway speeds.

Power Train · reported Jan 8, 2026

When the engine is turned off, and the car is not in park, it rolls. When the engine is turned off the car should automatically switch to P to prevent it from rolling. Our car was left in R with the engine off. And instead of switching to P automatically, it just rolled away and hit the neighbors garage.

Service Brakes · reported Mar 24, 2025

I leased the vehicle in 03-2021 and within the first year took the car back to the dealer 3 times for complaint on braking system. The brake pedal would loose pressure and stopping distance would extend further than anticipated. the dealer consistently told me that they could not duplicate the problem. now has gotten to the point that EBP light and HOLD light stay on steady and red Brake light flashes, due to this the smart cruise control and crash avoidance system become inoperable. Recently became aware that this issue is known to Hyundai and they have TSB for this issue, TSB # 23-BR-001H…

Visibility/Wiper · reported Jun 27, 2024

The display does not always show reverse camera when backing up. Not often, but does occur. I can use mirrors, etc. Annoying as it is a learned experience with this car, and when reverse camera is not operational it does limit view behind car due to design. I did capture video this time as it isn't first occurrence. I was in parking lot where I could do this without endangering anyone.
