Service Brakes · reported Jul 30, 2026

The service department closed out the repair order and logged it into the manufacturer network as a finished repair. However, I have opened the under-hood engine…

I had to pay out of pocket for a genuine Hyundai replacement part to mitigate this fire risk. Hyundai…
Air Bags · reported May 27, 2026
My driver airbags have been deactivated for quite some time. My radio touchscreen doesn't work, and the electrical issue has drifted all the way into my steering wheel where I can't control any type of cruise control properly.
